The Kentucky Historical Society also subscribes to AncestryPlus which has indexed the census for 1790-1850, parts of 1860 & 1870, 1880, existing 1890, 1920 and 1930.

In 1900 Professor Lee Kirkpatrick organized a private school in the old brick Methodist Church in N.

It is no longer there. It was torn down and the fire department is there now. To my knowledge there has never been a college of any type in Henry Co., KY. The High School is called Henry County High now and is near New Castle, I think. The Middle School is near Bethlehem on Hwy 22. I don't live in KY any longer so that is why I am unsure of exactly where the High School is now. Middle School I am sure of as my cousin used to teach there. If you are searching for school records they were moved to the Board of Education in New Castle at one time. I am not sure they are still archived there anymore.

I am very interested in Nancy Roberts, mother of Margaret Shaw. Nancy Roberts was living with Henry and Margaret Shaw in 1850 in Henry County. In 1860 there is a Nancy Roberts living with James and Cathleen Laswell Roberts in Rockcastle Co. KY. Does anyone know if these two are the same woman? Going by the ages in both 1850 & 1860, it is a good possibility they are. The Henry County Nancy was married to James Roberts who was deceased by 1850. I am not researching the Shaw family so don't have any other information.
