Nel, Always enjoy your letters about the tangle of L2's in Clinton Co. KY. I've always been curious about the naming of the little settlement of Paoli (now spelled Peola, I believe) It existed at the time of the 1810 Census of Cumberland Co. KY and possibly before.( it was a post office and later contender for county seat) A few years ago I found on Ancestry.com a map of the N.J and Philadelphia campaigns of 1776 -1778 . and saw the battle site of "Paoli", in Chester Co, -just southof Valley Forge,- Big massacre of Continental soldiers occured there in 1777 - over 50 killed. It is such an unusual place name (only found one other, in southern Indiana) It makes one wonder if the early settlers in Cumberland Co.Ky might have had a connection to that place in Chester Co. PA.
