    E-mail from Ken Hedges, January, 1999:
    The James Hedges in Deed Bk. L pg.61 is the son of Joseph Hedges and Sarah Biggs. He was born Jan. 7 1783 in Fredrick Co. Md. and moved to Bourbon Co. with his family in the fall of 1791. He married Amy Foreman on June 23, 1803 in Bourbon Co. Ky. He lived in the Rockbridge Cr. area and moved to Bath Co. about 1830. He died Oct. 10, 1868 in Bath Co. Ky.

    The land was so cheap because it was an overlapping survey and the owner was questionable. It was supposed to go to court, I haven't checked to see if it did. James paid taxes on this land from 1815 - 1830. The house mentioned was built by Joseph Hedges Jr. brother of James Hedges. He also lived on Rockbridge Cr., he built the house about 1814 and it is still in the family's posession. The James Hedges mentioned as being on the atlas is the son of Joseph Hedges Jr. and the inheritor of the homestead.--Ken Hedges
