My appreciation to all who posted a response to my request for a roll call of ancestors who were early settlers in the Lower Blue Licks area of Bourbon>Mason>Nicholas><>Fleming County. Also to the list hosts who had to deal with the e-traffic. I've logged 110 posts, with most researchers providing at least 2 surnames. I'm going to abstract the information and look for "when and where" patterns. I've also kept a record of researchers' names. If I find something that could help any of you I will post it to all four lists. It was pretty amazing to see how many of you are following the same surnames and were able to get together on it. I hope that anyone else who saw a link or two will follow up. P.S.: Those of you with early Bourbon County ancestors should consider getting your information to Bob Francis, if you haven't already done so. Thanks again, Marla M.
