On 27 Jun 1797, the Shepherdsville Trustees deeded 2 lots to John Moore which would later be designated as lots 62 and 77 in the new plan of Shepherdsville, but which were identified as lots 47 and 49 in the old plan.

Moore would later sell the 2 lots to Elizabeth Styles. Then, after Elizabeth married Edward Crow, and together they sold the lots to George L. Robards. Robards would sell lot 62 to William Caldwell in 1830. Then in 1844 through a court decree, the lot was sold to Francis Maraman. Later, Maraman's heirs sold the lot to Samuel A. McKay, as shown below.
