Deed Book 53, page 284, Lincoln County Clerk’s Office, Hamlin, WV. Typically, the Kuhn-Lowe deeds granted land already owned by the grantees but reserved mineral rights. The idea was to grant “disputed” surface ownership in exchange for relinquishment of claims to mineral rights. Local property owners who did not wish to challenge the mineral claim in court accepted the Kuhn-Lowe deed. Lincoln County records show many of these deeds.
