Caldwell was formed in 1809, and Lyon was formed from Caldwell in 1854.. KYLYON-L@rootsweb.com # 4 All "known" graves that were to be covered by the impoundment of Lake Barkley were moved to other cem. I have checked the Cem. books of Lyon & Caldwell and can find no listings or variations of the name Roden... # 3.. I have no idea...write the Lyon List # 1.. write to Toni Watson Caldwell Co., Court Clerk Courthouse Princeton, Ky. 42445 1-(270)-365-6754 Hope some of this helps Ken Gilkey \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo-(_)-oOOo----McGillekehr ********************************************************************** *****Your kygenweb homepages are***** CALDWELL http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/caldwell.html LYON http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/lyon.html TRIGG http://www.kyseeker.com/trigg/index.html **********************************************************************
