Hello, When seaching for your early Kentucky families it is a good ideal to check what County is the parent county. For instance Christian County was formed in 1797 from a division of Logan County.And then check them for your family names. I know there are Williams in Logan County and also in Muhlenberg County.

I'm interested in the Williams/West info that has been going on. Who are the parents of Nancy West who married James Williams? Also I'm looking for the parents of Rebecca Walker who married John B. Henderson. I connect to early West and Walker lines through the Underwoods and Whites.
