• Notes

  Some sources have him as William Buford Shook, but the presence of thefamily history of embedding maiden names and the maiden name of hismother being Burford, I really think that Burford rather than Buford ishis middle name.

Sale of Lots?The sale of town lots by auction took place August 11, 1856,prices ranging from $21 (about the lowest) to $261.50, the highest sumrealized for any one lot. The county seat commissioners reported thesales and settled with the county in November following, the proceedsamounting to $4,385.75. Payment, almost invariably, was made in each caseby secured note for one year. Among the purchasers in Prospect Row wereG. B. Maupin, Neely Pryor, J. P. Thomas, William R. Rogers, WilliamCaple, Louis Gibbons, A. E. Goss, J. T. McKey, Henry King and others.Included in the list of those who became owners of lots in Monticello Roware found the names of P. L. Burford, J. H. Fagg, Charles W. Robinson andD. M. Terry. Mr. Robinson, W. B. Shook, Jacob Vanzant, Daniel George andJ. E. Hollis and others also bought in Mount Vernon Row. In Hermitage RowDenny Turner, J. E. Haymes, D. L. Burford, Leander Cloud and William Huntbecame property owners. The next December the lots left unsold wereordered disposed of at private sale, when many of those already mentionedindicated their faith in the town?s future by purchasing moreextensively. In addition Thomas Wisley, Z. Young, G. P. R. and T. T.Vanzant, Cicero McGinty, R. C. Matthews, Thomas B. Coleman, Henry King,James Triplett, John R. Taggard, John B. Dixon, and others too numerousto mention, invested. For negotiating these private sales the county seatcommissioners received the munificent sum of $20. In November, 1857,other lots were sold, and some of those formerly disposed of were resold,while in December certain ones were declared forfeited, and brought onlya fraction of the original price. In November, 1858, another series offorfeited lots were offered, and bought by Harper Rice, Henry King, C. C.Smith, N. T. Smith, John B. Dixon and P. L. Burford. In February, Julyand October, 1859, September, 1860, March, 1861, and February, 1866,sales were also made, prices, as a rule, being well maintained.
