Hi All, The red buds are blooming in Kentucky. I found another one of those German ancestors of yours other day. As I may have told you, we have been going around taking pictures of old houses and site of Jessamine County. I came across something the other day, I felt may be of interest to you. I was driving out of Nicholasville the other day, and spotted this large brick house setting some distance of the road. I had pass it several time, and taught about stopping and taking pictures. But never did. I decide this was the day and turned into the drive way. A very nice lady owned the place and invited us in. After a bit we walked out into the yard. The are several log buildings about the house. One pricklier log building caught my eye. I had never seen anything like it. The lady said it had been use as a slave quarters. She pointed to a little cemetery on top of the hill, and said Peter Nave is buried there. I had known of Peter Nave, his father Leonard, and his brothers for quite some time. They had came to early Jessamine Co., from Juniata Co., Penn, and were among the German settlers of this county. The Nave family was a family of blacksmiths. Leonard the father of all the early Nave family in Jessamine County, had a large blacksmith business in Lexington. He later moved to this farm and lived with his son Peter. He operated a blacksmith shop on this farm until 1842 when he died. What the lady that owns the place is calling a slave quarters, I belive to be his blacksmith shop. This old farm is a living museum. Jim, if you read this and are interested in posting photos of this place, let me know.
