Mason County was an original Kentucky county, i.e. formed prior to Kentucky statehood in 1792. Yes, Bracken County was formed from part of Mason County, or from a later county formed from part of Mason County. tonim89005@yahoo.com wrote:This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

When I was in USGenWeb I noticed that records for early Bracken Co were listed in Mason Co. Why is this? I'm going to try to write Bracken Co Historical Soc today to see if they can locate marriage bond for my Elizabeth Henry Applegat. I'm somewhat confused right now as receiving quite a lot of John Todd Henry & fam info in Boone Co Mo 1850's, as Elizabeth was in Bracken Co Ky & living in the household of a Wm Henry, I'm really about to the conclusion the info I have on John Todd & Harriet Coleman Henry as parents to her is incorrect. Sorry, I'm just going insane with the Henry search, once again. Seems I get into this once a year, it makes me crazy then I forget it until the next year again. Anyway, Thank you so much for the info & links as know they will be so helpfull-!!!
