Does anyone know where Zag, KY is/was? That's where my grandpa James Testy Peyton was born, and I hope to visit the area this summer or fall. I live in Cheyenne, WY and I am not familiar with the area, so any info about Zag, or the Peyton cemetery is, or what it's like to go to the Morgan county area for genealogy research would be appreciated. Thanks, Tina Payton

ZAG IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST PART ON MORGAN COUNTYON ROUTE 976 WHICH IS OFF OF ROUTE 519 AS YOU COME FROM MOREHEAD (ROWAN COUNTY). THERE ARE 3 PEYTON CEMETERIES IN MORGAN COUNTY. 1 ON PEYTON RIDGE ROAD JUST AFTER YOU PASS THRU ZAG, 1 IN KELLACEY WHICH IS SOUTH OF ZAG, AND 1 IN DEHART WHICH IS SOUTHEAST OF ZAG. IF YOU LOOK ON THE 1999 MORGAN COUNTY MAP (THE LAST ONE THEY HAD MADE YOU WILL SEE ZAG SPELLED AS "ZOG" AT ABOUT B-2 ON THE MAP). IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MORGAN COUNTY THEN YOU ARE BETTER OFF TO START FROM ROWAN COUNTY (MOREHEAD) AS THIS IS THE NEAREST EXIT OF I-64 EAST. YOU GET OFF AT THE MOREHEAD EXIT AND TURN RIGHT AND YOU ARE ON ROUTE 519 WHICH WILL TAKE YOU TO MORGAN COUNTY (WITH A FEW TWISTS AND TURNS) AND AS YOU COME SOUTH THRU THE DANIEL BOONE NATIONAL FOREST YOU WILL SEE A SIGN SHOWING ROUTE 976 GOING OFF TO THE EAST (RIGHT) AND I BELIEVE THAT THE SIGN ALSO SAYS ZAG ON IT. AFTER YOU GO THRU ZAG FOR ABOUT 2 MILES YOU WILL SEE PEYTON RIDGE ROAD GOING OFF ON THE RIGHT AND THE CEMETERY IS ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN PEYTON RIDGE ROAD ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD. COMING FROM WY YOU PROBABLY WILL COME THE FREEWAYS AND THIS WOULD BE YOUR EASIEST WAY TO GET THERE. MOREHEAD IS ALSO WHERE ALL THE MOTEL ARE LOCATED AT AND WOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO WHERE YOU ARE GOING IN ZAG. IF YOU ARE GOING ON INTO WEST LIBERTY (THE COUNTY SEAT OF MORGAN COUNTY) TO LOOK UP ANY RECORDS AT THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE OR ANYTHING ELSE IT IS ONLY ABOUT 20 SOMES MILES FROM MOREHEAD. WEST LIBERTY ONLY HAS 1 MOTEL AND IT IS NOT A NATIONAL CHAIN. HOPE THAT THIS HELPS YOU OUT. I ALSO MAINTAIN A LISTING OF LOCATIONS AND DIRECTIONS TO SOME 392 CEMETERIES IN MORGAN COUNTY AND HAVE A OF OVER 8,000 BURIAL SITES IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FINE OUT WHERE THEY ARE BURIED BEFORE YOU GO. THE BEST RESOURCE FOR LOCATING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY IN MORGAN COUNTY IS THE MORGAN COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE IN WEST LIBERTY WERE SHE MAINTAINS BIRTH, MARRIAGE AND DEATH RECORDS GOING BACK TO THE EARLY 1800'S. THEY WILL GLADLY HELP YOU FIND SOMEONE AND YOU CAN EVEN HAVE THEM LOOK UP INFORMATION FOR YOU BEFORE YOU GO TO MORGAN COUNTY IF YOU LIKE.

We are in the process of building a new library here in the county located at 460 and Index. From what I have been told the top floor section will be for genealogy research. When they are completed I will let you know and in the mean time I will be getting in touch with some of the organizers to see what will be offered. I will be donating my family tree in a clasp folder or ring binder to the new library. Maybe many of you can consider the same...

I was told Monday at the Library that the first floor would be the library and the two top floors would be used by someone else.
