    1. [ KYLEWIS] Road Connecting Liberty in Greenup County with Quincy in Lewis County, Kentucky

    3. Dear Members of the Greenup County AND Lewis County, Kentucky Mailing Lists, This question deals with both Greenup County and Lewis County, so I am posting the query to both Mailing Lists at once. Thank in advance for any help on the following puzzle: Can a car be driven from the village of Lynn in Greenup County, Kentucky to the village of Quincy on the Ohio River in Lewis County, Kentucky? By studying a detailed map of these counties, I think that the road follows White Oak Creek, then Briery Creek, into the community of Quincy. BUT, perhaps the road follows Brushy Fork. My third-great grandfather William COOPER was once a resident of Liberty in the 1840's and then lived in Quincy, in the 1850's and 1870's. I have found in Court Order Book "H" of Greenup County, Kentucky that in February of 1847, a road was ordered to be planned and built from the Lewis County line at the head of Briery Creek to the village of Liberty in Greenup County, by way of the head of Brushy Fork. The four men who were ordered by Greenup County Court in February of 1847 to "view and mark out" the road were Moses F. DUPUY, James OSBURN/OSBORN, Edward STEVENSON and John SLOAN. Anyone researching these noteworthy men? I am hoping to hear from someone before I make my next research visit to Greenup and Lewis Counties. I would like to see this road firsthand, by driving from Lynn to Quincy, or vice versa. Or, I might have to cover the distance by shank's mare. Thank you! Sincerely, Randy Cooper Descendant of DOUGLASes, BARNEYs and COOPERs who Lived in Greenup County, Kentucky GOAL: To find the parents and birthplace of my third-great grandfather William COOPER, who married Martha Ann BARNEY in Liberty, Greenup County, Kentucky, May 6, 1846; and was born in Massachusetts or Connecticut between 1817 and 1825, most likely in 1821 or 1822. William COOPER died November 23, 1903, in Jackson County, West Virginia.
