Summary
The original records of Kentucky County, Virginia 1776-1780, were lost in a fire in the 19th century which makes this book quite important because it contains the names of most of the pioneer settlers of the state of Kentucky. The Certificate Book comprises most of Vol. 21 (1823) of the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and gives information about the claims fro land made by settlers between 1775 and 1779 who detailed the location of their claim and the date of settlement
