NOTE: As you know, Ive been posting from the Pike County, Missouri history book. Many Kentucky citizens moved to this county in the early years from Bourbon County KY. I am going to take about a week and clear out some of the Bourbon County biographies. NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 11387 BOURBON CO WILLIAM D.
