Hi, I'm a day late on this, but I have a little booklet put out by the Valley Woman's Club in it's 3rd Printing, 1993. I bought it a few years ago at the Gift Shop in Riverside, the Farnsley-Moreman House on the Ohio River. The little light pumpkin colored booklet has a copy of a map from the Filson Club. This is a Beers and Lanagan map from 1879. It incorrectly indentifies the two counties shown as Jefferson and Oldham. It is actually SW Jefferson and probably the northern tip of Hardin Co. It is the center page in the booklet. On Page 12, the book says, "Henry Maybaum was born in Prussia in the year 1833. His father, Charles, emigrated to America in 1834. He died in the Upper Pond Settlement in 1863 (near Orel) (sic). On Page 36, it says, "William Hollis married Winnie Lewis, daughter of Thomas Lewis of the Lower Pond Settlement." No sources are given for this data. Pond Creek runs Southwesterly from beyond the Manslick Road area, downward toward Orell. Dixie Highway used to be called Salt Pike and ran almost parallel with the railroad. Pond Creek was on the other side of the RR. It appears to circle around the north side of Moremen's Hill, which, I think, is now part of Jefferson Memorial Forest. The author is Mary Jane Yann Stapp. There are nice pictures of old houses that were in the area. There are 68 pages. No index. Also, no sources. But it is fun reading. Some families the author mentioned are. Camp, Ashby, Kennedy, Swearingen, Geo. Prentice (the Journalist), Duckwall, Lewis, Adams, Waller, Beahl, Alsop, Phillips, Swindler, Miller, Smith, Moreman/Moorman, Stephan, Smoot, Adylott, Quillman, Dodge, Pages, and quite a few more. I don't have any interest in this booklet except I love it. I paid 6 dollars but that was maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Anyone with an interest in the SW part of Jefferson County might enjoy the booklet, if any are still available. I hope this is of interest to Alex. The map is esp. interesting since it gives names of land owners at the time the map was drawn in 1879. The original should still be at the Filson Club. As to the book, please remember that no sources are given. Forgive me for repeating myself, but it's important to be aware of that. Barb T
