Simcoes to William Wilson - Part of Lot 28

On 30 Aug 1827, George F. Pope, as commissioner, deeded Shepherdsville town lot 27 and part of lot 28 to Matthew Wilson. Wilson sold the part of Lot 28 and the brick house on it to Richard Simcoe as trustee for Henrietta Oldham, daughter of Dr. H. Oldham, as shown below.

Henrietta Wilson, born 22 Apr 1828, daughter of Henry and Eliza Oldham, died of consumption on 17 Oct 1852. She was buried in the Old City Cemetery in Shepherdsville.

She had married the lawyer William Wilson on 27 May 1847, and they had two children, Henry Turner Wilson, born 7 Apr 1848, and Mary who was born 17 Jul 1850, but died 13 Jan 1853, and is buried alongside her mother.

The brick house sat on the southwest corner of Lot 28, and this deed divides the lot, giving to William and Henrietta Wilson the western slice the width of the brick house. The remainder of the lot to the east was allotted to R. B. Simcoe, M. L. B. Simcoe his wife, Henry W. Simcoe, James P. Oldham and John W. Oldham, heirs of Samuel Oldham.

On 6 Nov 1850, John W. Oldham sold his share of Lot 28 to Henrietta Wilson. Then on 10 Sep 1853, the Simcoes sold their share of the lot to William Wilson, as shown below. Following Henrietta's death in 1852, William sold his share of lot 28 to Henry F. Kalfus.
