The first Brackett's to settle in Casey County were Gale and Cathrine (Powell) Brackett. both were born in Bell County, Ky. Gale from Stinking Creek and Cathrine from Four Mile. Gale was the son of John and Easter (Gamble/Gambrell) Brackett. John and Easter are burried in the back right corner of the Singleton Cemetery just north of Eubank, Ky. They had three sons ; Thomas- married Lucy powell, sister to Cathrine.,Gale and Abraham Lincoln(Linc). Gale and Cathrine had eleven children; Lloyd,Elsie,Speed Farmer,Maude,Amanda Otis ,Lee, Earl ,Molly,Garner and Paul. Thomas' family settled in Lincoln then Garrard County. Lincoln went Indinapolis, In. both of them had large families from what I understand. There were four or five girls in the John brackett clan; Sally-married a Epperson in Pulaski,Co.,Amanda and two or three others that I can't remember.If I could find the information I have about this I could give you birth and probably death dates. But! that would take an act of congress to find all of this sort of thing that I've collected over the years.Hope this helps. ......Keith Brackett
