To one and all, Hurrah!!! The Perrin books are finally in the mail to you. Elaine Armstrong and her husband Jay drove all the way from Richmond to Ft. Eustis to help me pack all the books. With their great help, the job was done in a couple of hours. Thanks, Elaine and Jay! Well, you should be receiving your book within the next two weeks. I sent them "book-rate" which is a slow method but is inexpensive. This concludes my project. I can now rest easy. -- Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft.

I was doing some newspaper research and came across and article written in 1919 about the Oddville and Claysville communities, and thought that some of you might enjoy a "little" history of the area, or might see some names which are of interest to you. Here is a list of names that are in the article, if you don't want to read the whole thing: WHITEHEAD, CURRAN, JACKSON, NEWELL, CURRY, WHERRITT, WHITEKER, HODSON, LANCASTER, DESHA, WIGLESWORTH, VANDEREN, TURNER, CLOUGH, WALINGFORD, TAYLOR, CRAIGMYLE, GARNETT, DEVERS, LANCASTER, KING, DIMMITT, FRYMAN The Cynthiana Democrat, Thursday, July 24, 1919, Page 4, Cols. 3-6: REMINISCENCES ---------- Of Claysville, Oddville and Other Communities. --------- Had not the building of the Ky. Central changed the map of Harrison county, Claysville would undoubtedly have continued the second ranking town and business point in the county. Perhaps she might have even equaled, of not scored ahead of Cynthiana, But the Maiden City had the advantage of the county seat location and the coming of the railroad further aided her and handicapped the one time enterprising village down at the mouth of Beaver. Claysville, when I first knew the village, had as fine a set of business men and as good a class of citizenship as any small town in Kentucky. Nimrod R. Whitehead, Stephen B. Curran and the Jackson Brothers, Ed and Lon, were the merchants. Whitehead went to Cincinnati, established a paying wholesale grocery business, and after a successful business career, retired, located and died in Illinois. Lon Jackson became a lieutenant and died in the Federal service. Ed Jackson was the victim of a shot fired by Am Morrison on election day soon after the war. The Currans, S.B. and his son, James J., continued in business until the death of the former. The Claysville brand of chewing plug manufactured by the Currans and Jacksons for a number of years and had quite a demand at one time, even reaching the New Orleans market prior to the war. After engaging rather unexpectedly in “store keeping” in Oddville in ‘62, we kept it in stock as long as it was manufactured. Away back in the ‘50’s Ben Summers prized a similar brand on a small scale at Oddville. The leaf[,] a dark Burley and Twist Bud type, was grown mainly in north Harrison and Bracken. Recurring to Claysville, one glaring lack of the community for many years was a church. Thanks to the enterprise and liberality of Jas. W. Snodgrass and a few others, that great need was supplied. Newell’s Run, referred to in a previous article, doubtless derived its name from Capt. Hugh Newell, in his day prominent and a leader in political and legislative affairs in Harrison county as did Curry’s Run from Judge James R. Curry, for so many years connected with the Court and legal affairs of this county. It was said that Perry Wherritt, long time County Clerk and leading citizen, perpetrated the name of Oddville upon what had previously known as Whitaker’s neighborhood. here for many years had been the home of Rev. Josiah Whiteker, the somewhat famous Methodist “Circuit Rider,” a man of brawn and brain and according to tradition, a little eccentric but withal a useful and successful worker in the Master’s vineyard. By thrift and prudential economy he accumulated quite an estate. After his death H. Mc. Whiteker, his son, prior to his coming to town as jailer, occupied the old home place, and since then his grandson, J.J. Whiteker. It has been something like the hereditary hat-peg that figured in the literature of the long ago. One morning in 1862 the village merchant, J.M. Hodson, placed the key to his store in the hand of Rev. R. Lancaster, with the request to dispose of the small stock remaining unboxed, for shipment as soon as opportunity would permit, to best advantage and thus we unexpectedly got into “store keeping,” which continued for nearly 15 years. Mr. Hodson joined the hegira of citizens and “skedaddlers” bound for the north bank of the Ohio, caused by the coming into Kentucky of Kirby Smith’s rather small force of Confederates. The demonstration, rather than intended attack, upon Cincinnati and the big scare and massing of forces for defense became historic. Churchill’s brigade of butternut garbed and footsore Arkansas veterans came via Cynthiana, camping and resting upon the Joe Desha farm just across the river. It would take a chapter to tell of the home-coming of the Harrison county boys and other intersecting events of that brief period of Confederate occupancy. Our first war experience of merchandising was the raid upon the stock by a squad from a Company of Scott’s Texas Cavalry, serving with Morgan’s command. It seemed inspired more by a spirit of fun and deviltry than looting and they soon emptied the boxed goods. An officer coming along soon stopped the work, and away they galloped with strips of red flannel, calico, etc., enswathing their bodies, fancy colored baby shoes and similar small articles suspended from belts and guns. As they passed down the Curry road it was said nearly every yard received some of their useless plunder. Along about 1864 came a splendid young woman from Millersburg to teach the Garnett school. To her coming may be attributed the breaking up of that fine bunch of bachelors in the Union neighborhood: Tandy and John Wiglesworth, Alfred and John VanDeren and Billie Turner, hitherto considered invulnerable and uncatchable. Succumbing to her charms and successful in his suit, the popular young school marm became the bride of John VanDeren. It was a heaven blessed union, crowned with many useful and happy years of wedded life. No more popular and more beloved teacher than Miss Mattie Sanders ever taught that school. Tandy Wiglesworth wisely followed next and led Miss Ella Martin to the altar, but John and Billie remained single to the end. At a party at Mrs. Susan Clough’s near Oddville, a fine looking young fellow of modest demeanor in cavalry uniform was introduced as Oliver Wallingford, then of Bracken county. A good soldier, a splendid citizen, a successful and useful minister, O.P. Wallingford is now one of Cynthiana’s best known and most highly esteemed citizens. At a largely attended social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Taylor, on Two Lick, a handsome and well dressed young stranger kept in the back ground, taking no part in the pastimes of the evening. Not long thereafter he was the victim of a Burbridge Military Execution at Midway. His name was given as Burgess, but it transpired that his real name was Ferguson and he was or had been a Confederate soldier. Still living of those at that party are Milt Craigmyle, now of Calif.; John Craigmyle, H.N. and Lark T. Garnett; Mrs. Ada Lancaster Garnett, Ben Devers, W.A. Lancaster and Mrs. Sallie Garnett King. The attractive appearance, amiable and affable manner of Miss Sallie Garnett easily made her a prime favorite with the beau gallants that night. And come to think of it, J.J. Whiteker joined the gay and happy throng upstairs, making the play, “Jake’s a Grinning” a reality. An event that made the people sit up and take notice was a fine singing school conducted by Prof. Dimmitt, a near relative of our Squire Dick Dimmitt. This accounts for the squire’s rare musical talent--vocal and fiddling. All day singings soon became the vogue and served to bring the people together on Sundays between the regular monthly appointments at Salem, Beaver, Republican and other nearby churches. At these singing fests Uncle Dud Fryman and Uncle George Whiteker tool their first lessons in the art do, ro, me fa-ing, which soon culminated in their recognized leadership in song. Organs and choirs were an innovation then unknown to rural churches. In fact some of them opposed Sunday Schools, Missionary Societies and other present day activities which are now considered indispensable for the successful prosecution of church work and the propagation of the Gospel.

To one and all, The Perrin books have finally arrived. The shippers stopped by my house last week some time and left a note that the books had arrived in town. I will arrange to have them delivered to my address tomorrow (hopefully) and will begin packaging and shipping them as soon as possible. I know it seems like forever since I began this project and you will be glad to finally receive your very own copy of Perrin's "History of Bourbon, Scott, Nicholas and Harrison Counties." You should expect it to arrive on your doorstep sometime within the next two or three weeks. For those just joining our group, we have resurrrected William Perrin's classic 1882 history and genealogy of the above counties. It is an invaluable work for those interested in families that settled in this region between 1775-1882. Sadly, I do not have any books remaining. However, the Book Store in Paris, Kentucky, will have a limited number of the books at a slightly higher price (I sold the books for $55 including shipping--the Book Store will sell the same book for $65 *plus* shipping). Also, the Cynthiana Museum, Cynthiana, Kentucky, will carry some of the books. Mr Slade, the proprietor of the museum, may sell the books at the same price that I sold them. However, this is not a certainty. The museum is open Thursday-Saturday from 10AM-5PM. Following is the information for contacting these organizations: The Book Shop in Paris, Kentucky (606-987-8084) Cynthiana Museum, Cynthiana, Kentucky (606-234-7179).

Hi all, Does anyone know the names of the four daughters of Aaron ASHBROOK and his wife? I am interested as to whether one of them might be the Mary (aka Polly) ASHBROOK who was the first wife of Andrew J. HICKS, as she was born ca. 1824/25, within the decade of the births of the three known sons of Aaron ASHBROOK, viz: Felix G., Thomas V., and Samuel J. The biographical sketch of Aaron ASHBROOK follows: ". . . Aaron Ashbrook, was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, in 1796 and died in 1855 from cholera in Harrison county, Kentucky. He was married February 18, 1817, his wife, Sallie Veach, having been born in Harrison county, Kentucky in 1798, and died November 16, 1851. They were the parents of seven children. Aaron Ashbrook began life in moderate circumstances as a farmer on Indian Creek. He remained there until 1821 when he removed to Mill Creek, Harrison county, and there lived until his death. By thrift, industry and excellent management he accumulated an exceedingly large property and gave to each of his children four hundred and fifty acres, while at his death seven hundred more were divided among them by the terms of his will. His wife, Sallie Veach, was a daughter of Thomas and Jane (Huff) Veach, and Thomas Veach was a son of John Veach, and his wife, Jane Stewart. Aaron Ashbrook's father, Felix Ashbrook, was born in Virginia and died in Harrison county in 1843 at the age of seventy-five years. His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Todd, was born in Maryland, and died September, 1838, at the age of seventy years. Aaron Ashbrook was born, lived and died in the Old Dominion. Felix Ashbrook was one of the valiant soldiers who held the fort at Boonesburg in the war of 1812." Please e-mail me at philnaff@indy.net. Thanks.

Someone wants to contact Diane Morris about a query posted in January. It seems we have an address change, anyone know a new address? Let me know if you do. Jo

Lisa, the Cynthiana public library, 110 N.Main, 606-234-4881 has all the Cynthiana Log Cabins & Democrats on microfilm. I don't know if the librarians will do a look-up for you, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. The obits are not as detailed in the 1920's but you might get what you need. They also have the 2 main funeral homes, Smith-Rees and Whaley records on microfilm. Maybe they will check those indexes for you sometimes there is good additional data in the records. jim dempsey

Harrison friends, Does anyone know how I can find an obit from the Cynthiana paper from 1921. Ocassionally I see some of you posting old obits, and I was wondering if I need to go to the historical society in Cynthiana or if there was a book or something. I have an ancestor, Caleb Blackburn, that we found in a cemetary in Cynthiana. He was born there and lived his whole life there, and we're pretty sure he died in Harrison Co. He is not listed in the KY Death Index or in the Ohio one, and we really need his mother's name. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.

I AM LOOKING FOR HELP. IS THERE ANYONE WHO COULD LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A DIRECTORY FOR MT. PLEASANT CEMETERY AND ROSE HILL CEMETERY. I AM RESEARCHING JOHNSON WAGONER WHO IS MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER. I WILL BE IN CYNTHIANA ON AUGUST 10, AND WILL BE GOING TO THE LIBRARY THERE. I ALREADY HAVE A DIRECTORY OF WAGONER'S CHAPEL CEMETERY. THANKS IF ANYONE CAN HELP. RUTH

To one and all, The following people have taken the unclaimed Perrin books: Lisa Repose Sandra Bagwell Carl Morgan Kathleen Burnett I only wish that I had more books to offer but this closes out my list. The books will arrive on or about August 16 and should be ready for shipment before the end of that week (God willing and the creek-don't-rise). One of you gracious souls volunteered to help me package and ship the books. Elaine, I believe? Would you please contact me so we can make plans for completing this long-awaited project.
