Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, Particularly Linda of Tampa, A list member is seeking a town in Greenup County, Kentucky named "Hunnell". May I submit the suggestion that the sought-for town of "Hunnell" was actually Hunnewell, also known as Hunnewell Furnace? The community around Hunnewell Iron Furnace was a bustling village in the 1860's and 1870's. I extract from the work of the literary duo of Biggs and McCoy, in their description of the Hunnewell community. Before 1845, the farming settlements at what was later named Hunnewell and Cane Creek were small agrarian communities. But growth came with the building of an iron furnace there in 1845. In 1865, the Kentucky Improvement Company had built a railroad as far as Argillite Furnace, and by 1865 had extended the rails to Hunnewell. Hunnewell was named in honor of a Mr. HUNNELL, who was one of the members of the company that built the railroad. How the name became changed from Hunnell to Hunnewell no one knows. In 1870, Hunnewell had a population of 600, and Cane Creek was home to 200. The furnace days ended in 1886, when the last furnace in the Hunnewell area went out of blast. As for the location of Hunnewell in Greenup County, it is in the southern tip of the county, on Cane Creek, which flows into the Little Sandy River. Hunnewell is east of Oldtown, south of Palmyra, and about eleven miles south of the village of Greenup. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio
