ALKIRE HISTORY:
James Simpson and Michael Stump, Overseers, with Jeremiah Osburn, Geo. Osburn, *Mones Alkier*, Heorndkis Corlock, John, Jacob, & Wm. Westfall, Michael Stumph, Henry Harris, Henry Shipler, & Philip Moore to view and mark and keep in repair, on petition of the inhabitants of the South Branch, a road from their wagon road up to the So. Fork to Peter Reed's mill.

On May 6, 1765, Lord Thomas Fairfax gave *Maunis Alkire 294 acres of Lot 16 on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River, in Hampshire Cty., Va.

On October 17, 1775, he was paid for serving as the 1st Lt under Capt. James Parsons in Lord Dunmore's War, which was against five united Indian tribes under Chief Cornstalk in Mid Ohio.

Thirty plus years later, Harmonas II's children settled in this area, possibly lead there by their father's stories of the country.

On Oct. 3, 1765, Harmonas sold an unknown amount of acreage to Michael Thorn, adjoining Lot 17 in the South Fork.

On Oct. 4, 1765, Harmonas and Lydia sold more acreage to Michael Thorn.

On April 4, 1767, Michael Stump & Felix Seymour examined Lydia, to determine her free release of the property sold by Harmonas and herself.

On Dec. 7, 1789, Harmonas and Lydia sold approx. 35 acres to Daniel Tevabough. (Book 2, pg. 35, Hardy Cty., W.Va.)

On Oct. 2, 1795, Harmonas and Lydia sold 100 acres to Abel Seymour from their lot 16 on the South Fork. (Book 4, pg. 144, Hardy Cty., W.Va.) (**This would also show that LYDIA died somewhere between Oct. 3, 1795, & May 29, 1800**)

On May 29, 1800, Harmonas wrote his Will, naming *his 12 children, & listing their bequests. In the July, 1800, Bourbon County KY Court, his Will was proved.***

On Sept. 1, 1810, all of his children (w/ wives and husbands) appeared in Bourbon Co, KY court to sign off on a land sale Harmonas had made in Licking, Bourbon Co, KY to a Richard Smart. The children are listed as:

While still in Kentucky, Harmonas II had mail waiting for him at the post office, in care of Mr. Ingles, as reported in the Kentucky Gazette, Vol. 13, No. 706, 3 Mar, 1800.
