Dear Don, I'm not sure exactly what you are complaining about. You may not be aware that Bob Francis has contributed a lot to our body of knowledge. I suspect a lot more than you have. He does not support himself by selling this book. I would say whatever extra he receives is not enough to cover his true costs. If he doesn't sell every book, he may end up losing money. > I need the info that is, or should I say was, available at this site, > but I do not need to see his Perrin sales or anything about it again.

As one of the original "charterers", I wholly approve of Bob's efforts to revive this history/genealogy book and offer it to us at a reasonable price. You may not be aware that the "charter" for KYGenWeb in no way prohibits selling items. That is up to the people who pay for the service you are using.

Some of these lists I am on sure have good tidbits.... I haven't tried these yet, but they sound interesting... Jeannie <>< Pacific Information Resources at http://www.pac-info.com/ lists over 676 searchable public record databases. They're broken down by state - there's also a list of national databases available. The state records are further broken down by statewide, county, city, etc. Everything you wanted to know about area codes and zip codes but were afraid to ask http://www.jcsm.com/ can give you all kinds of interesting information, including lists of zip codes within a certain area code, area code changes by year, information about area codes (when they split, etc.) You only get 20 searches a day, tho.

Hello.... I am forwarding this from another (Mason co.) list because I think that it is useful (and fun)... :) enjoy... Jeannie <>< Hi all, You don't have to write Lbs. for British pounds, you can write it from you computer by holding down alt and the numbers 156 as such £, then when you release the alt key the £ sign appears. Two things to remember, 1) you need to be sure that you num lock is on (some people's computers won't work if this isn't on), and 2) you need to use the numbers on the right side of the computer, not the numbers at the top of your keyboard. Visit this site for more characters, they can be a lot of fun to use. http://telecom.tbi.net/asc-ibm.html Also, don't forget to put an http:// in front of any URL instead of just www, then anyone can just click on it and go directly where you want to send them as in the above site. Also, when giving an email address of another person in the body of your text message, put mailto: in front of it, this ensures that all can click on it like a URL and then write a message. Sometimes there are long URL's and long/complicated email addresses that are more easily available when they are just clicked on. Remember: http://www.wimbledon.org/ NOT: www.wimbledon.org/ which will take you nowhere. And mailto:battwood@azstarnet.com NOT: battwood@azstarnet.com ( which will not take a lot of people anywhere) TTFN!

Hello one and ALL........ If for any reason you all have any problems with what Bob has done or said in the following, PLEASE, submit your complaint to ME..... I am the complaint department..... NOT the list or Bob. Bob has done us a huge service here.... As you can see from his posts there are libraries wanting one of these books... and believe me we ARE getting a bargain I just purchased 2 other gen books and one cost the same and the other was much more... NOW... NO one HAS to deal with this... if for some reason you just can't tolerate the fact that he is making a few pennies off of this publication then please complain to me or UNSUBSCRIBE from ALL of my lists... Bob has done so very much for all of us for a very long time.. long before I set up these lists he has been helping many of us with our research... FREE of charge... If he charged 75.00 for this book it would still be a GREAT deal.....

Believe it or not, I'm a rather sensitive fellow who doesn't do all that well when lamblasted. However, I do understand the fellow's genuine concern that our genealogy groups remain "non-commercial;" i.e., no selling of books for the sake of making a profit. Now, many of you know me well by now (though we may never have met in person) and understand that my motives for introducing this project were as white as the driven snow. I never intended, nor will I ever intend, to make a profit off of the group for the sake of making a profit. I took on this project because I wanted the Perrin book to come back into circulation. My reason for wanting the book back into circulation was practical and pragmatic. I tried purchasing the book through out-of-print booksellers and was told that the going price for the book was $395.00. Recently, one of our group was able to get an offer at $325.00--still WAY too expensive for the average buyer. I reasoned at the time that perhaps I could find a way to bring the book back into print at a reasonable price. I worked with a local book store owner in Paris, Kentucky, with the hopes that we could bring the book back into print through her. She called me after a couple of months and said that she would have to charge at least $65 for the book, not counting shipping costs and sales tax. She then offered to bow out of the deal and let me contact the publisher directly. We both reasoned that since I was not in the bookselling business, I could offer the book at a much cheaper rate. As it turned out, she was right. I guess I could have charged $65 for the book and reaped a nice profit from it, but making money was not my purpose for having the book published. The publisher was willing to do a reprint, however, his deal was that I had to purchase the books upfront. This meant that I had to pay the full amount for the books, including shipping, before he would even begin to print them. The cost was $6290.00 for 250 books. Now, that's a lot of money! At this juncture, I turned to you, my fellow genealogists, and asked if you were interested in helping make this dream an actuality--and you overwhelmingly responded YES. It was then and only then that I proceeded ahead. I did so NOT TO MAKE MONEY but to bring this great classic back into publication. Now, did I make a profit on it? Yep. I did. I guess our fellow would have been happier if I took a loss on it? Perhaps losing my shirt would somehow make me a less greedy fellow? What he is not taking into consideration is the time and energy that I have put into this project, not to mention the many long hours I have to look forward to when the shipment arrives. I will be up to my ears in Perrin books that I will have to box, label, and ship. I have had to buy supplies, sit down every night for a couple of hours at a stretch writing out mailing labels, not to mention maintaining the order list and making sure everything is accurate and everyone taken care of. So, tell me fellow genealogist, should I post the Perrin update to our lists or should you write to me to find out where you stand on the order? Help me out here, because frankly, I'm at a loss.

Source: Perrin, pp. 83-84 Like the most of Bourbon County, and of Central Kentucky, Paris Precinct was settled chiefly by Virginians, with now and then a family from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North Carolina. To name him who erected the first cabin in what now forms this precinct, with any degree of certainty, is a task that no one, perhaps, can truly accomplish. The Kennedy farnily were early settlers, though it is not known that they were the first in the precinct. Thomas Kennedy was the first of the fainily to emigrate to Kentucky, and from him Kennedy's Creek took its name. From an old manuscript written by his son, Jesse Kennedy, in 1850, and now in possession or Mr. Frank Kennedy, we glean many facts of interest pertaining to the settlement of the family in Kentucky, and the journey of Mr. Kennedy through the wilderness, from his old home in Maryland. Thomas Kennedy, the pioneer, made his first trip to Kentucky on a "tour of of inspection," in 1776, intending, if pleased with the country, to secure land for himself and two brothers, John and Joseph. He arrived at Boonesboro without accident or adventure, and there met with Michael Stoner, afterward an early settler himself in Paris Precinct. Stoner invited him to go and assist him in clearing a field and planting it in corn, which he did, This field was long known as " Strode’s Field," and is now owned by Samuel Clay. At that time, the country was full of wild game, and fresh meat was plenty all the time. Buffalo were numerous and furnished all the settlers with meat. In the fall, Mr. Kennedy returned to Virginia, where his family then resided, intending to move out to Kentucky at once, but owing to various difficulties which interfered, he did not make the start until the fall of 1779, when he brought his family hither, consisting at the time of his wife and four children--three bovs and a girl--the eldest being but seven years of age. His trip here shows the difficulties which stood in the way of the pioneers of this country a hundred years ago. He was a brick-mason and carpenter, and gathered together such tools as he might need, and property that he could not well do without, and placed them on a train--not of railroad cars, but packhorses-and with his wife and little ones, and a few cattle, he commenced his journey through the wilderness toward the promised land. Although he did not wander forty years in the wilderness, yet his trials and tribulations while in it were great. Owing to the lateness of the season when he started, forage became scarce and his animals gave out and died by the wayside, and when he finally reached Boonesboro, they were all gone, except a mare and a little bull. Upon the latter he packed a bed, and upon the mare three of his children, while he and his devoted wife trudged on foot--he carrying his little girl upon his own back, and his wife carrying such things as she could. As his pack-horses, one by one, gave out, he hid his property in the forest, intending to return for it, but the unsettled state of the country prevented, and he thus lost it. To add to his troubles, the mare upon which his three boys were carried--the two smallest in willow-baskets swung across her back, and the large one riding upon her--fell down and broke the rider's leg, but without injuring the boys in the baskets. This was a distressing occasion. They were alone in the wilderness, but with that courage and fortitude born of desperation, they bandaged the boy's leg as best they could and continued their journey. In this forlorn condition they arrived at Boonesboro. After remaining there a short time, he joined a company under Capt. John Strode, and helped to build and settle Strode's Station, where he lived for four or five years. The winter of 1779-80, his first winter here with his family, was one of unusual severity. Much of the stock and wild game perished, and of the latter, that which lived through the winter became so poor that, to prevent starvation alone, forced the settlers to kill and eat it. In the spring of 1780, his wife died, and one of his children soon after followed her. He finally pre-empted land for himself and brothers, his own on Strode's Creek and theirs on Kennedy's Creek, and on which latter stream he, too, eventually settled, a few miles south of Paris. Amid many misfortunes which "followed so thickly as to tread on each other's heels," he lived and died on Kennedy's Creek, at an extreme old age. His son, Jesse Kennedy, lived with him, and devotedly watched over and cared for his aged parent until death relieved him of the solemn charge. Jesse served one year in the war of 1812, as master of a train of pack-horses, when he returned home and took charge of the homestead, and through his energy and untiring perseverence, he saved his rather's property from sacrifice, cheered his declining years, and, after his death, accumulated considerable property for himself. He lived an honored and respected citizen of the community, and, to quote a stereotyped phrase, "died regretted by all who knew him." He has a son, Frank Kennedy, a lawyer in Paris. -- Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft. Eustis, VA 23604 MY HOMEPAGE: http://www.shawhan.com/

OK all of you Nicholas county listers..... Only about 1/3 of you posted on the roll call... You know, the reason that we have these roll calls are for YOUR benefit. They introduce you to the other researchers on the list and let you know who they are researching, that is HOW we can make contact with "cousins"... that is the purpose of the lists.... Lurkers, do no one any good, including them selves.... So come on, get with it and lets see your queries and introductions.... PLEASE! Jeannie <><

To one and all, I've not posted Perrin's History for a while, so I've kinda' forgotten which number I was on. I'll call it "Part 26" and we'll go from there. Since I've been busy on organizing our book project and other things, I have let the postings slide. So, today I'll start them up again. Enjoy! Source: Perrin, p. 83 Paris Precinct--Boundaries, Topography, Physical Features, Etc.--The Pioneers--Their Toilsome Journeys--Kennedy Family--Other Settlers--Early Industries--Educational and Religious--Old Cane Ridge Church "But long years have flown o’er these scenes of the past, And many have turned gray in the winter's cold blast; While others only think of the time that is gone; They are bent by the years that are fast rolling on." When first seen by white men, Central Kentucky was an unbroken wilderness. Dense forests overhanging the margins of crystal streams were unmolested by the pioneer's ax. The notes of myriads of songsters, the howl of wild beasts and the yell of savages alone awakened the silence that had brooded over them for centuries. But now came a change! The first wave of immigration rolled westward, precurser of an overwhelining tide destined to sweep everything before it. The fierce contest commenced between the pale-face and the Indian, and was waged with relentless fury, but the superior prowess of the white man prevailed, and his title to the "dlark and bloody ground" was sealed with hundreds of human lives. The red sons of the forest have disappeared, and Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans," preserves in romance a story of the race. The plowshare levels their graves; their favorite hunting grounds groan beneath the white man's harvests, and will know them no more forever. Fulfilled to the letter were the gloomy forebodings of the chief, when he spoke in the pale-face's council: "My people are like the scattered stalks that remain in the. field when the tempest has passed over it. The Great Spirit ordained us for the forest, and our habitation is the shade. We Pursue the deer for our subsistence, but they are disappearing before the pale-faces, and the red man must starve or leave the graves of his fathers, and make his bed with the setting sun." Thus it has been, and thus has the mellowing hand of Time served to "Make their name sublime, And departing, leave behind them, Footprints on the sands of time." The section to which this chapter is devoted, though small in extent, is not without traditional interest. Like every spot of Central Kentucky, it is entwined with historical association, and these associations and reminiscences, will be presented in a becoming form to our readers. They have been gathered from the most reliable sources now available, and are no doubt correct. Paris Precinct, the Election Precinct No. 1 of Bourbon County, comprises the central part, and is as fine bluegrass land as the county contains, or as may be found, perhaps, in the entire blue grass region, Its configuration is good, save possibly a few bluffs contiguous to the watercourses. It would puzzle a mathematician to define the shape of Paris Precinct, or one of fertile imagination to give correctly its boundaries. As much as we can venture is, that it is bounded by Harrison County, and by Ruddel's Mills, Millersburg, Flat Rock, North Middletown, Clintonville, Hutchinson and Centerville Precincts. These extend round it, and we leave it to the reader to give to each the cardinal point of the compass, to which it is entitled. The precinct has an excellent system of natural drainage in its numerous watercourses. Stoner Creek or river is the largest stream, and flows nearly north through the center and through the city of Paris, where it furnishes waterpower and supply to mills, distilleries, etc. It unites with the Hinkston near Ruddel's Mills, just before entering Harrison County. Kennedy's Creek is a tributary of Stoner, and flows in nearly the same direction, emptying into the latter a little south of Paris. Houston Creek enters the precinct from the west, near Houston Post Office, and unites with the Stoner at Paris. Clark's Branch is a small tributary of Houston, in the west part of the precinct. Flat Run flows north and empties into the Stoner near Ruddel's Mills. Cooper's Run in the northwest empties into the Stoner near Ewalt's Cross Roads; and Townsend's Creek passes through the northwest corner. The timber growth of Paris Precinct was that indigenous to this section of the State, and consisted chiefly of oak, hickory, black walnut, buckeye, ash, sugar maple, etc. -- Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft.

Bob, I have been teaching for 25 years and I find there are always negative people out there about any adventure. It is sad that they chose to try and disrupt others enjoyment of genealogy by making others feel uncomfortably about what they are doing. You have done a wonderful thing for many people and you deserve to be paid for your time and energy and I would hope everyone expects you to make something from your efforts. Again, thank you very much for all you do. Oh, I almost left without asking you if you could guide me to someone who would be willing to do some lookups for me on my Anderson family in Harrison Co. His name was Franklin(Frances) Anderson and he lived in Harrison Co. from before 1810 and after 1850. He was from PA and he is in the census rolls for Harrison Co.(I have them from for 1810 to 1850. I spoke to you about a year ago about a possible connection in Harrison Co. and through your help I was able to definitely connect my gggrandfather Stephen Anderson to Franklin. I would now like to pursue documentation and the last name of his wife and any records that may be held in Harrison Co. concerning any of my ancestors in Harrison Co. My gggrandmothre Jemima Jane Long also came from Harrison Co. and is the daughter of William Long. If you could help me with recommending someone who could do some research, I would obviously be willing to pay for the copies and their time. Let me know, as I could really appreciate the help. Thanks again for all you do. Sincerely, David Anderson

The Barbara Kingsolver who is listed wrote the Bean Trees. I read it a while back. It's a good book. Wondering about her Nicholas Co. connection, I did a little surfing & learned that she graduated from Nicholas Co. High.

Visited the url below today....very nice; now if some of those hackers would get on Jeannie's lists!! Actually, I printed this post last week to remind myself to answer your question. Next, I lost the string from my finger! Just got back to it. As you probably know by now the calendar in question begins with Dec 99, then proceeds through 12 months of 2000.
