Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, Who were the parents of George W. Pratt (1823-1895)? George W. Pratt was born August 21, 1823 in Ohio and died January 24, 1895, perhaps in Greenup County, Kentucky. George W. Pratt was a shoemaker who lived in the village of Greenupsburg, Greenup County, Kentucky in 1860, 1870 and 1880. His wife was Eliza J./Elizabeth Callahan. Eliza J. Callihan was born January 25, 1830 and died December 31, 1903. George and Eliza had a number of children, among whom were Julia, daughter A.E., Sophronia, Indiana, Charles, Sarah/Sally, Mary and William. The 1880 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky has an interesting detail. In 1880, George W. Pratt's father ~AND~ mother were recorded as natives of VERMONT. If this is correct, George W. Pratt would not have been a son of John Pratt and Eliza Bellow, because Eliza Bellow was not born in Vermont, to my knowledge. Does anyone know where Eliza Bellow was born? John Pratt and Eliza Bellow had a son whose name Nina M. Biggs did not know. Some have written that perhaps George W. Pratt was that son. What about Lott H. Pratt? Lott H. Pratt was a brother of John Pratt. Lott H. Pratt was born in Vermont, but I do not recall the names of his wives or where they were married. George W. Pratt's birth in OHIO in 1823 is an important item of information. I am trying to find any connections between George W. Pratt and the Mr. Pratt who arrived in Scioto County, Ohio about 1813 from Vermont, in company with Captain Edward C. Sumner. I am beginning to suspect that the "1813 Vermont to Ohio" Mr. Pratt may have been the father of George W. Pratt, but that is purely conjecture at this point. The Mr. Pratt who arrived in Ohio about 1813 from Vermont might have moved from the French Grant, Scioto County, Ohio to another place in Ohio, before the Ohio birth of George W. Pratt. Therefore, the 1820 and 1830 Censuses of Ohio should be consulted, to see where all the Pratt households in Ohio were located in 1820 and 1830. That would be a start. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper P.S. There is a conflicting birthplace for George W. Pratt, in the 1850 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, which stated that he was born in Kentucky, not Ohio.

Dear Members of the Greenup County, Kentucky Discussion Group, As well as I can determine, there were five iron furnaces in operation IN Greenup County, Kentucky at the time of the 1880 Census. 1. Caroline Furnace (built in 1833) operated until 1890. 2. Raccoon Furnace (built in 1833) was "not operated after 1884", so it might well have been operating in 1880. 3. Hunnewell Furnace (built in 1844) was rebuilt in 1870 and had its last blast in 1885. 4. Pennsylvania Furnace (built in 1848) operated until 1881. 5. Kenton Furnace (built in 1856) operated until 1882. Bellefonte Furnace was located in Boyd County and operated until 1893. When it was built in 1826, Boyd County had not been formed yet and so Bellefonte Furnace was in Greenup County until 1860. There might have been employees of Bellefonte Furnace living in Greenup County in 1880. Boone Furnace was located in Carter County, not far from Greenup County. There might have been employees of Boone Furnace living in Greenup County in 1880, if Boone Furnace was operating in 1880. In 1880, Robert Griffith, age 49, born in Kentucky, was an Iron Ore Miner in the Hunnewell Post Office area, Precinct Five, Greenup County, page 117C. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Hello! I know that the company of H. H. Hardesty published a number of historical/biographical atlases for Ohio and West Virginia in the 1880s. I would like to know if anyone knows if there was a Hardesty's Atlas for Greenup County, Kentucky published in that same era. Also, are there any other biographical resources for Greenup County for the late 1800s. I'm looking for information on the Griffith family that lived there from about 1853 through the 1930s. Thank you! - Jean Griesan

Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, I am searching for the departure date of Lot(t) Pratt (1767-1850), from Vermont. I am seeking evidence that Lot(t) Pratt was still in Vermont in 1812. Lot(t) Pratt's sons John Pratt and Lott Pratt became residents of Greenup County, Kentucky as young men and lived the remainder of their lives in Greenup County. Nina Mitchell Biggs wrote about John Pratt and Lott Pratt, Jr. In order to answer the question of Lot(t) Pratt's (1767-1850) movements, it is important to research the life of Captain Edward Culver Sumner (ca.1764-1821). Edward C. Sumner was said to be "of Peacham, Vermont", when he migrated from New England to Scioto County, Ohio. The year that he arrived in Scioto County has been recorded in documents as 1811, 1812 and 1813. Therefore, I do not know the exact year. There was a Pratt who accompanied Captain Sumner in the migration to Scioto County, Ohio. Please note the following passage from ~History of the Lower Scioto Valley, Ohio~, page 110: "The adventurous Samuel Hunt was the cause of bringing a good many people here (to Scioto County, Ohio) from New Hampshire and the contiguous part of Vermont. From Vermont came the Kimballs, Haleys, Campfield, Kellogg, Lamb, ~PRATT~ and a quite prominent person in Captain Sumner. ... Sumner bought and settled on the two French Grant Lot Numbers Eight and Nine, where Joshua Oaks lives (in 1884)." The question is: WHO was the Mr. Pratt who came from Vermont at the same time as Captain Edward C. Sumner? It is implied from the text that the Mr. Pratt in question settled in Scioto County, Ohio. Of course, he might not have remained there, but from the passage we can assume that the first residence in the Ohio River Valley of the Mr. Pratt from Vermont was in Scioto County, Ohio. Some of the residents of the French Grant, Scioto County, Ohio crossed the Ohio River and settled in Greenup County, Kentucky. The Dupuys and the Van Bibbers are prime examples. If this Vermont Mr. Pratt were John Pratt, he was a youth of about twelve years old at the time of the migration, because he was born in 1800 in Peacham, Vermont. Instead, was the Mr. Pratt Lot(t) Pratt (1767-1850)? If so, he moved from Kentucky up to Newark, New Jersey. Lot(t) Pratt became a highly successful shoe manufacturer in what is now downtown Newark, New Jersey. I consulted the 1820 Census of Scioto County, Ohio, to see if any representatives of the Pratt surname were enumerated. I found Edward C. Sumner listed in Porter Township, Scioto County, page 122. I have found one Pratt in Scioto County, Ohio in 1820, on page 116 of Portsmouth. He was Foster Pratt, who was 45 years of age or older and was the sole member of his household, in Portsmouth, Ohio, next door to David Gharky. A young, single Mr. Pratt might not have been enumerated at all (by name) in 1820, if he were living in someone's home. In 1820, John Pratt was about twenty years old and single. John Pratt married Eliza Bellow on February 20, 1822 in Greenup County, Kentucky. Edward C. Sumner died September 20, 1821 and his wife Abigail died October 19, 1821. If John Pratt had been making his home with Edward and Abigail Sumner, he would likely have had to find a new home after the death of the Sumners. In addition, there was a period of sickness in Scioto County, Ohio which came to be known as "the sickly years" or "the sickly season". I think that the primary cause of the sickness was the Ohio River's low water table in this period of time. This period was from 1822 through 1824, but I suspect that it might have begun in 1821, due to the deaths in 1821 that I have found. Fever and ague and all other kinds of fevers prevailed to a great extent. Business activity became exceedingly dull. The business of the grave giggers, however, was very prosperous. My source for this information is HLSVO, page 449. I read in another source that some of the New Englanders who moved into southern Ohio on the Ohio River RETURNED to New England in response to the "sickly season". Was one of those families a COOPER family? If so, my third-great grandfather William Cooper MIGHT have been born in New England AFTER his parents had migrated to Ohio, then returned to New England! To add to this point, there was a woman by the name of Jane Cooper living in Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio in 1830 whom I have not identified. I must try to identify her late husband. I suspect that the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Sumner in the fall of 1821 and/or the period of sickness in Scioto County caused John Pratt to move across the Ohio River into Greenup County, Kentucky. John Pratt's marriage to Eliza Bellow might have been a prime factor, as well, if the marriage were arranged or the courtship had begun while he was in Scioto County, Ohio. I have read that John and/or Lott Pratt lived for a time in the French Grant, Scioto County, Ohio before their appearance in Greenup County, Kentucky. I do not know exactly what period of time, with whom or where in the French Grant. All I know is that for John Pratt, I suppose it was BEFORE February 20, 1822 (his marriage), unless he married Eliza Bellow in Greenup County, Kentucky, then took up residence as a married man in Scioto County, Ohio and moved to Greenup County some time later. His marriage in Greenup County does not prove that he was LIVING in Greenup County. Usually, the groom went to the home area of the bride for the wedding ceremony, not the other way around. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Hello group I was replying to the birth look up for Greenup Ky . Good luck with that . My grandmother was also born in Greenup in 1910 and there was no birth recorded . They didnt start keeping birth records until 1911.It was the responsibility of the midwife and they didnt always get down into town to record the births and then they would record several births at 1 time and mix up dates .
