According to "Kentucky and Her Counties" by Wendell H. Rone, Sr., Woodford became a county in1789, from parts of Mason, Lincoln, and Jefferson. On a map in the book, I see, that in 1794, Franklin, Scott, Fayette, and Mercer surround Woodford. At the time around 1789 -1790, Woodford extended north to the Ohio River. It encompassed what [looks to me like] the present day counties of Boone, Kenton, Gallatin, Grant, Scott, Owen, Franklin and perhaps some additional counties. Hope this helps a litt.e Shirley "Donald Power Maxwell, Jr., M.D." wrote: > It appears that my POWER(s), MILNER(Miller), and DUNN (Done) families lived > along Crooked Creek area....they didn't move but the county borders changed!!! > > Is there a mail list and or site for "early" Woodford Co., Ky...large areas > were apparently absosbed by the surrounding counties in 1790-1800...? > > Any ideas where to look for Woodford Co records ca. 1790-1800? > > Don Maxwell > > ==== KYGRANT Mailing List ==== > The Schmidt Honeycutt Family Homepage > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/6681 > includes the Jump and Rankin Family
