Remember that even after counties are “formed” and fairly settled, county boundaries can change. A change between two Kentucky counties well after each was formed transferred several square miles from one to the other. Not a large part of either county.

But just enough to make my ancestor’s farm go from being in one county to being in another.

And causing land records to start being recorded in the “new” county.
