John Mink was born about 1787 in VA and died in May 1860 in Lee Co., VA, about age 73. General Notes: H.B. Linville to John Mink, 17 Feb 18
“Know all men by these presents that I, H.B. Linville, have this day bargained as sold unto John Mink a certain tract of land containing 150 acres, lying and being in Rockcastle County on Skaggs Creek and bounded as follows:
“Beginning at two elms on the bank of the creek…to a chestnut oak and hickory, H. Taylors line, thence with his line N 80 E 125 poles to two [?], his corner by a spring. Thence another of Taylors lines N 10 w 35 poles to stake, thence to the beginning.”
There was another tract which joined the one above and was “the same place where Soloman Collins formerly resided and deeded to John Graves…” It also joined Nathan McClure, Holbert McClure and A.J. James (or maybe Jones).
This land sale may represent John Mink’s arrival in Rockcastle County.
Deed Book 24, p.513 (the deed was obviously brought back in to be re-recorded well after 1873).
