George W. Jenkins sold parts of two Shepherdsville lots (#39 & #40) to Henry I. Craycraft on 5 Sep 1844, and Craycraft sold it to Samuel N. Smith on 23 Apr 1849. Then Smith sold it to Andrew Shader on 1 Jan 1853.
It appears that Shader moved to Nelson County where his indebtedness resulted in a Circuit Court sale his his Shepherdsville lot which was purchased by Rachel Coffee, as shown below.
Rachael Coffee (43), in the 1860 census, was the wife of Dr. A. D. Coffee (51). Also there was Mary L. Coffee (7) and William Brooks (10). Mary's death certificate shows her as the daughter of Dr. John Coffey and Rachel Green, and the wife of John Henry Shepherd. She was born 12 Oct 1850 and died 17 Apr 1928.

By virtue of an execution No. 9499 issued from the office of the clerk of the Nelson Circuit Court in the name of Peter G. Kemp against Andrew Schader, I levied on and sold as the property of said Shader a house and part of lot No. 39 and 40 in the town of Shepherdsville, and Rachael Coffee became the purchaser of the same at the sum of $140, which amount was over two-thirds of its valuation, execution valuation &c in Nelson Circuit Court are referred to to show more particularly the facts.

Page, trustee for said Rachael Coffee the above described house and lot, part of No. 39 & 40 situated as aforesaid to be held by him for the use and benefit of said Rachael Coffee and for that only I warrant and defend the title to the same only as by law required.
