To all you good people on the Nelson Co. list: This does not apply specifically to this posting, but I was reminded of it by seeing that one person in the account was born in Bardstown. It brings up something that I see so often, particularly from those who do not actually live in Nelson Co. They assign all sorts of events to Bardstown, when in many, many cases they did not occur there. Most of the early population were farmers and may not have even been close to Bardstown. It seems to me that I recall while teaching in Bardstown that those in the southern part of the county had to ride the bus 30 miles to go to high school. I have seen various part of my own family, who lived in Bloomfield and Chaplin being assigned activities in Bardstown which I know did not occur there. In other words, it's safer, unless you absolutely know that it took place in Bardstown, just to say Nelson Co. After all, even if they were in town, it may have been Howardstown, New Haven, New Hope, Fairfield, Bloomfield, Chaplin, Botland, Boston, Samuels, Deatsville, Cox's Creek, Nelsonville. Did I forget any place? Bob Moore Bob Moore In a message dated 4/26/2005 7:54:05 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: FRANCIS MARION HARDY b. 1835 Bardstown, Nelson Co.
