Seligman Bach & Solomon Herzog to H. O. Maraman
South Part of Shepherdsville Lot 55

Benjamin Summers and George W. Jenkins had jointly purchased Shepherdsville lot #55 from Edward and Elizabeth Crow on 7 Aug 1824. Then Summers sold his share of the lot to Abraham Field. Field and Jenkins later divided the lot between them; and Jenkins sold his part to Alonzo S. Burleigh on 8 Apr 1851. Burleigh sold it to Bach and Herzog of Louisville. They would later sell it to Henry O. Maraman as shown below. Then, in 1879, in a court suit brought by R. J. Meyler and Wesley Phelps against Maraman for debt, the ground was sold at auction to them.
