A Jury of My Fleming County, Kentucky Peers

[This is an "extra" set of names for those who've thought the others have been too easy. We will return tomorrow to just posting one image a day, but I thought Transcriber fans and followers might be interested in this little list.]

These men were apparent neighbors of William and Elijah Royce/Reese who were accused of slaughtering two pigs that were not theirs in Fleming County, Kentucky, in 1827.

We're going to start a series on the court records in this case beginning with the next issue of Casefile Clues. Can you read these names?

    Come on, guys. Help me out here! :)

    Jas. Norwood
