The Cabin Creek area was owned by William M. VEIRS as early as 1794. I am starting work on this and don't yet know the extent of his land in that area but it might have been extensive since he was fairly well-to-do. He actually lived in Maryland and may have never even visited Kentucky but his son Edward was the first schoolteacher in the area and his daughter Nancy (by his first wife) and her husband George CLARK moved into that area around 1800. Robert VIERS (quite likely a cousin or nephew of some sort) lived nearby on Quicks Run. Robert VIERS was most recently from the Botetourt/ Greenbrier Counties area. All I know is, Robert VIERS was born somewhere in Virginia. I don't yet know where or have any certainty as to his parents. Anyone trying to trace early settlers in that area might find it fruitful to check the Fredericktown area of Maryland and the two counties I mentioned in Virginia. RE: The Wolfe family mentioned recently. I noticed a first wife named Melinda (Melissa?) LEMONS. The LEMONS/LEMON/LEMMON family were early settlers in the Scioto County, Ohio area, east of Portmouth not far from the Ohio River. This wife almost certainly came from that family since the name is fairly rare in early records and they are the only ones I know of. My grandmother was a LEMON from that family. If anyone wishes to info, I have some on them, although it's sketchy and soon goes to a dead end. They were said to be Black Dutch, and were noted for being quite dark-skinned. My mother and her mother looked extremely like Native Americans, with deep golden skin, dark hair and eyes and even the oriental fold to their eyes. Sue Bishop
