In the record
Royce’s schedule records 3 cessions that lie at least partly in Kentucky, from 1785 to 1818, under 3 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Cherokee and Chickasaw.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
