Anyone familiar with this area or the story of Daniel and lst store? Is Lincoln Co anywhere near the ole Ohio Co Ky?? thanks, nena The 1895 on line atlas has your Knob lick in both Lincoln and Metcalfe county Ky.view here http://www.livgenmi.com/atkyk.htm Hello-have you heard of this by gone town? more like a settlement back around very early 1800's??? Names associated with it were esp. Daniel Grass b c1775 d May 25 1836 of apoplexy in his chair in his home in Spencer co Indiana. He married Jane Smeathers, dau of Wm Smeathers. She b c1779 prob Va, died 1867 Spencer co Indiana. I have read recently where Daniel Grass built the 'FIRST' store in this Knob city or Knob Lick. he was a well known politician and land owner of Spencer co In. They had 7 children. The info I have says Daniel MOVED this store to Indiana c1815-16 on the outskirts of Rockport. It then bec a school for his sister in law who taught the 'FIRST' slave Negro children and this sister in law [Eliz Smeathers who m Geo Statler 1808] their son Wm Stateler was born in this cabin or store. I am told a reproduction of this cabin now is in Lincoln Village and I have seen pictures of it, but someone else told me it was not this same 'store' but a another cabin Daniel built on the land he bought in 1807 near 'Hanging Rock'...so I am confused! My resources contradict this as they state this 'store' was moved to what was back then called 'the Knobs' abt 3-6mi fr Rockport which is now just a swamp full of rattlesnakes. There is a very small cemetery back by the trees behind the middle school in Rockport [so I am told] which has the gravestone of Daniel Grass there. One more question, does anyone have the email addy for the nearest Historical library or Public Library in the ole Ohio Co that has genealogy information. Any light you might shed on this would be appreciated, thank you kindly, Nena Smothers, gggg grand dau of Wm Smeathers _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
