Many of the deeds listed below are located in what is now Lee County as of 1870. 
However even after 1870 many of the deed that were located on the county line were still recorded in Estill County and were sometimes also recorded in Lee County. And to make matters worse for the researcher sometimes part of the land is located in Lee County and another part in Estill County. If you are researching any property located near the Estill – Lee county line be sure to check records in both counties including tax records. I still own my great grandfathers land and I pay taxes in both counties.

At the turn of the century coal, gas and oil was found in both Estill and Lee counties. These leases had to signed by both husband and wife. At the death of the parents an Affidavit of Descents had to be filed at the courthouse by all children and their spouses.
