I was sent a copy of a letter from a Robert Skidmore to an office in Frankfort, KY regarding early land grants.His letter was dated 19 July 1965.He states he is the grandson of Mary Jane Nolen (Skidmore), who was the daughter of Chadwell F.C. Nolen, the son of Joseph, Sr.
Included in Chadwell's obituary was the following:
'At one time, for their bravery in the wars of our country, the Nolens were given a land grant by the Government which covered most part of what is now Bell and Harland Counties, including the land where the city of Middlesboro now stands, although at that time this land was more of a burden to thm than a profic."
I will send the letter if you can e-mail me your home address.
