A
search of the records by Dr. Geo. R. Poage revealed the very
interested fact that nine Monroe county people still own and operate
farms their ancestors acquired between February 1821, and August
1830, all prior to Monroe county’s organization. The list is
as follows:
Farm
Elias Bozarth acquired on February 11, 1821, is operated by a direct
descendant, Ed. Bozarth.
Farm
acquired by John McGee, July 19, 1823, now owned and operated by Wm.
H. and Mike Scobee. (transcriber’s note: not sure if this is an
original typo of if both entries – this and the following - are
correct).
Farm
acquired by Stephen Scobee, May 5, 1825, now owned and operated by
Wm. H. and Mike Scobee.
Farm
acquired by Richard Sharp, October 28, 1826, now owned by the J.W.
Sharp estate.
Farm
acquired by John McKamey, October 26, 1827, and April 12, 1830, now
owned by Marvin McKamey.
Farm
acquired by Simeon Utterback and Abraham Utterback in 1828 and 1829,
now owned and operated by A.J. Utterback.
Farm
acquired by Samuel Curtright in 1830, now owned and operated by Tom
C. Curtright.
Farm
acquired by Stephen Dooley, August 29, 1830, now owned and operated
by W.H. Dooley.
