Many times we are frustrated when we hear that the records we so desperately need no longer exist since the courthouse burned. Some lost just some of their records. I thought I would list here some of those courthouses in the area of research in south central KY and if they had a disaster - whether fire or other cause. I will show the year that each courthouse was finished and open for business, then any disasters that occurred. Adair County: First courthouse was finished in 1806 and the 2nd in 1884. No disasters. Allen County: 1st - 816; t2nd - 1903; 3rd - 969. Disaster: 1902 Barren County: 1st - 1800; 2nd - 1802; 3rd - 1806; 4th - 1839; 5th - 1896; 6th - 1965; 7th - remodeling.
