    1. [KyGreenup] Quincy Post Office: Extended into Greenup County in the 1880s?
    2. Randal W Cooper

    3. Dear Members of the Greenup County, Kentucky Discussion Group, In the 1880s, could a resident of eastern Greenup County near Horse Hollow on Schultz Creek (near the Lewis County border) have had a post office address of Quincy, Kentucky? After some searching for my third-great grandfather William Cooper's residence in the early 1880s, it has occurred to me that even though his mailing address was Quincy, Kentucky, he quite possibly could have been living in Greenup County, not Lewis County. William Cooper did not own a house or any land after 1848. He made his home with various people as a boarder. Worded another way, my question is, How far did the Quincy post office area extend? I suppose that people went into the post office and picked up their mail, versus having mail delivered to their house by a mail carrier, as we do today. Does anyone have a similar situation in his research? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper
