George W. Doan was born in either KY or IN (most census records say IN) about
1830 and died in Rockcastle County, KY, 27 July 1913. He is probably buried in
the
Walnut Grove
Cemetery next to his first wife, Rachel Storm, or at the Pine Hill or
Hansel Cemeteries near Pine Hill (he lived between those two cemeteries late in
his life.)
George's parents were Joseph Doan and Mary Tudors. Siblings included Joseph
Doan (married Margaret Hood) and Sampson Cole Doan (married Martha Renner).
The land mentioned in the will was situated near the Pine Hill Baptist Church.
Based on the given description, U.S. 25 goes through part of it today.
