Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, John Waring (ca.1804-ca.1868) was enumerated in the 1840 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, on page 223. In 1840, he was a resident of the Liberty/Lynn community on Tygart Creek. Charles Craycraft, Edward Brooks and John Pratt were three of his close neighbors in 1840. In 1849, John Waring donated land in Liberty, Greenup County, for the building of a Methodist Church. The church was north of the Liberty Christian Church. John Waring/Warring did not stay in Greenup County, as far as his residence. In 1850, he was enumerated in the Census of Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky, District One, dwellinghouse 141. From the 1850 Census, the given name of his wife is revealed: Ursula, age 43, born in Kentucky. John and Ursula had nine children listed in 1850. In 1852, John Waring took the first step toward becoming an iron manufacturer, by purchasing a large tract of land. In 1853, Mr. Waring obtained more land, in Greenup County. In 1856, John Waring's iron furnace, Kenton Furnace, began operations, with John Waring as manager. He was in partnership with others. Kenton Furnace was located in Greenup County, at or near the community of York, on the south bank of Whiteoak Creek, across from the mouth of Horse Hollow. The community of York was originally known as Kenton Furnace. The road that goes through York is now designated Route 2070. In 1860, John Warring was again enumerated in Lewis County, Kentucky, on page 929, dwellinghouse 1219. John Warring was 56 years old, born in Kentucky. By occupation he was a Pig Iron Manufacturer. His property was valued at $65,000/$500. John Waring died about 1868. Kenton Furnace operated until 1882. I think that John Waring is a strong candidate for the employer of George W. Loper, Harmon Aldridge and William Cooper as day laborers in 1860. Note: Kenton Furnace Post Office opened in 1869. This could explain the use of the Truittsville Post Office in 1860, for the residents around Kenton Furnace. The tract of land that Enoch P. Loper purchased in 1855 was in Horse Hollow. I suspect that George W. Loper was living on this land in 1860. If anyone has more information pertaining to John Waring, son of Thomas Truman Greenfield Waring and Nancy Anne Medford, I would be glad to hear from you. What was Ursula's maiden name? Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper Acknowledgement of Correction: Researcher Ronald Whitaker was correct. I should have written ~western~ Greenup County, not eastern, in a recent message, referring to the Horse Hollow-Schultz Creek area. Thank you for the correction.
