On 3 October 1803, several communicants in the Hebron Lutheran Church of Madison County, who were about to migrate to Kentucky, were noted in church records as leaving "for the hinterlands." The church was founded by 2nd Colony Germanna immigrants and familiar names such as Aylor, Beemon, Blankenbaker, Brumback, carpenter, Clore, Crigler, Crisler, Deer, Delph, Hoffman, Holsclaw, Holt, House, Rector, Rouse, Synder Stansifer, Tanner, Utz, Wayman, Waver, Wilhoit, Yager, Yowell and Zimmerman migrated to what is now Boone County, Kentucky. Many of their descendants live there today. In 1812-13, William Carpenter, pastor of the church, followed, and founded the Hopeful Lutheran Church in Boone County, after differences with church elders over whether the church should begin services in English, rather than German. Kathy Easton Caminiti, Rouse/Deer/Tanner descendant, with Michael Rouse and the former pastor of the Hopeful Lutheran Church, the Rev. Charles Aylor, are planning a "Germanna in the Hinterlands" meeting near Burlington, Boone County, KY, on the Wednesday following Germanna's July 15-17 Reunion in Virginia. It is hoped that the timing will allow travelers to Germanna to move on - just a little bit - to Kentucky. The area is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Planned so far are two lectures at the church: Germanna descendants in Boone County, and the History of the Hopeful Lutheran Church, as well as cemetery and courthouse tours and a special dinner at the 1819 Tousey House in Burlington Ky.
