A couple of notes for tomorrow ... The South Central KY Historical & Genealogical Society meeting will be held tomorrow night at 7 pm at the Cultural Center, 200 Water St in Glasgow. As I mentioned recently, the speaker is Shannon Jefferies of Edmonton KY who will be appearing in full Civil War costume and telling about the establishment of a re-enactment group in Barren Co. This is a fascinating young man who loves history and is attempting to honor the memory of the Orphan Brigade and others. Come join us if you're in the area - no admission, free parking. Also, tomorrow, I'll be ending a 14-part (or so) series on KYRESEARCH on the petitions of the early settlers of KY while we were still a part of the Commonwealth of Virginia. I've made many posts listing the names appearing on all the petitions to VA from our early men in KY and a lot of familiar names appear! Next week, and likely for two weeks, I'll be listing, with permission of the author, an extensive list of the earliest surveyors throughout KY. This will be followed by a few weeks of the early divorces in KY, lunacy reports, name changes, illegitimate children, paupers, etc. whose cases were handled not by the counties, but by the KY State Legislature.
