Hi, Did I misunderstand the message about the 3 persons hanged in McCreary County? I thought it said the event was in 1877, but wasn't McCreary County created about 1912? Thanks, Ann

It is not in McCreary Co, Ky, in Henry Co. Ky. where ever that is, which I have never heard of it before. How are you doing these days on the Morgan's? I was thinking about you the other day. You are not going to believe it, but I e-mailed the hangings of the 3 men in Henry Co. Ky. to a person in Frankfort, Ky. today. Boy! did I ever get something started. I just sent it for her to read it and would you believe she knows a neighbor down the street that they were just talking about the hangings, which I don't know her friend. But, her friend is a great niece of the Robert Shuck one of the hanging men in Henry Co. Now, the one that contribute the hangings on the site just might be a cousin to the one that is the neighbor to the one I have been e-mailing all winter. Can you bet this! I don't even know or have never seen this neighbor that my e-mailer knows.

Your right Ann about McCreary being created in 1912 but Gina doesn't say in her message that the hangings took place in McCreary County. It was reported in the Henry County Paper she said so I am assuming by that they were hung in that county. But I am not sure. On the McCreary county site the list of people that were hung, there are 3 names missing according to the Henry County KY newspaper and the Richard Shuck deposition Robert Goodrich, Samuel Goodrich and Joseph Goodrich were hung also White, for robbery-murder, 27 July 1877 it appears that the people of the town broke them out of jail and hung them from Drennon Bridge.
