 | | On 14 February 1780 James Barney Stagner, as heir of John Barney Stagner, deceased, claimed 1400 acres of land, based on his father's residence, in 1776, on unpatented land on Cartright's Creek, on Beech fork of Salt River, in present Mercer County, Kentucky. |
 | | His son, Barney Thomas, bought a monument for his grave, but the owner of the land had plowed over the grave, so the stone was never put in place, but remained beside the son's house. |
 | | I, Barney Stagner, of the county of Madison and State of Kentucky, knowing the uncertainty of life and knowing that it is appointed once for all men to die, being weak in body but of sound mind and perfect understanding how I am going to dispose of my property. |
