Kentucky residents may be interested in attending a series of discussions about Kentucky life in the Great Depression sponsored by the Kentucky Historical Society. The Great Depression started earlier and lasted longer in Kentucky than it did in more urban states. Spend four evenings with noted historians Tracy Campbell and David Hamilton in a series of lively discussions about Kentucky life throughout the 1930s. The four topics to be discussed are: * "Kentucky during the Great Depression." Tracy Campbell begins the series with a detailed look at the impact of the Great Depression on the commonwealth. Thursday, April 8 * "Rural Life and the New Deal." David Hamilton shares how the New Deal affected the lives of rural Kentuckians. Thursday, May 13 * "Franklin Roosevelt in Kentucky." Tracy Campbell returns to discuss the public response to President Roosevelt's visit to Kentucky and his New Deal policy. Thursday, June 10 * "Depression Diversions: 1930s Popular Culture." David Hamilton concludes by exploring books, movies, music, and other aspects of cultural life in the thirties. Thursday, July 8 Background reading materials will be provided and a Depression-era dessert will be served at each session. All sessions begin at 7 p.m. at the Kentucky History Center. The fee is $40 for members of the Kentucky Historical Society or $45 non-KHS members. Preregistration and prepayment are required because attendance is limited. You may register and pay with a credit card by calling Joanie DiMartino at (502) 564-1792 ext. 4467.

V. Dudley's office last week for the plot of ground known as the old cemetery in this city, which they purchased of the heirs of Alvin Montjoy. The price stated in the deed is $1.00 and other considerations. The property fronts on Montjoy street 225 feet and runs through to Park street 250 feet. This plot of ground was the original cemetery when Falmouth was first settled about 150 years ago. There are several hundred graves in this cemetery, but it has not been taken care of and very few of the graves are now marked, as most of the markers were only native stones, and they have been removed. There were a few marble slabs in the old cemetery at one time, but these have fallen down and disappeared. There has not been a body buried in this cemetery for more than fifty years. Many of our citizens have relatives buried there and they would have them removed, but it would be useless to try to locate their graves. This cemetery contains the remains of many of the pioneers who defended this settlement from the many Indian raids. Many Revolutionary soldiers and veterans of the War of 1812 also sleep there. It was used as a general "Burying Ground" for all during those early days, and slaves and Indians who fell in battle were laid to rest there. We can not imagine what the city has purchased this plot of ground for, unless to fence and perpetuate the old sacred spot. To use or desecrate it for any commercial purpose would bring a storm of protest. It is true that the cemetery has grown up in weeds and is an eye-sore, but at the same time it is a sacred spot, and it is somebody's duty to preserve it. The Montjoy family was one of the early settlers here, and Alvin Montjoy was the owner of this land. Among his nearest relatives now living are Mrs. A. Waggahan, of this city, John Hitch, Mrs. Sarah A. Cropper and Fannie Rouse. These are the parties that conveyed this plot of land to the city.

As you probably know Transylvania College (now Transylvania University) was established in Lexington in 1780. It is certainly possible that someone who attended Transylvania or another college could have been a teacher in Pendleton County in the early 1800's. If you are looking for someone specific you might see if the University has an alumni list from that period. Bob

Hi Folks, I am not exactly looking for the surveyor of the property. Like Charles, I realize that just being a surveyor in 1800 doesn't necessarily equate to an understanding of square root, cube root, algebra & geometry, etc. Boone didn't have much of an education, but several of his nephews, including Squire Grant who was one-time surveyor in Campbell Co & elsewhere, did go to some sort of boarding school & received some higher education - Squire Grant went in NC & another nephew was sent to Kaskaskia. I am interested more in early education in Pendleton County, right around 1800 or just before, and who might have taught high math, as well as who would have had a broad education in "the classics". Who would have taught such mathematics to a girl? I am looking particularly for anyone who lived within "neighboring" distance of the elusive John Steele of Pendleton County. Thanks for trying, Kathryn

Daniel Boone was a surveyor and he had a third or fourth grade education. I think you are reading to much into this. But good luck anyway. Wouldn't the land deeds show who surveyed the plots?

1861: Feb. 11: Legislature, declaring further action at this time on political affairs both unnecessary and inexpedient, (i.e., refusing to call a convention which might take the state out of the Union) adjourns to 20th March next. March: U. S supreme court decides against granting the mandamus, in the case of the Governor of Kentucky vs. the Governor of Ohio, for the surrender of the free negro, Willis LAGO, as a fugitive from justice -- he being indicted in Woodford county, Ky., for assisting a slave to escape from her master. April 3: Legislature calls a border slave state convention for the 27th of May, at Frankfort, and provides for the election of one delegate from each congressional district and April 4: Ratifies the following amendment to the U. S. constitution, as proposed by congress: "No amendment shall be made to the constitution which will authorize of give congress power to abolish or interfere, within any state, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said state." --- $19,400 appropriated for constructing an arsenal at Frankfort, and for machinery and labor for repairs of arms therein . . . . April 7: Gen. Beauregard notifies Maj. Anderson that intercourse between Fort Sumter and the city of Charleston would no longer be permitted. April 8: official notice given, that supplies would be sent to Maj. Anderson -- by force if necessary. April 11: Beauregard demands of Maj. Anderson the surrender of Fort Sumter; it is declined. April 12: Bombardment of Fort Sumter begins at 4:30 A. M., and continues all day; partially suspended at nightfall. The rebels, of Confederates, fore at intervals all night; they have in action 17 mortars, and 30 large guns, mostly columbiads. Sumter is silent, during the night. April 13: At 7 A. M., Fort Sumter opens fire. At 9, the officers' quarters are fired by a shell; at 10, the flag is shot down; at 12, most of the wood-work of the fort is on fire, and the men almost ceasing their fire, roll out 90 barrels of powder to prevent explosion, and are forced to destroy it, by the spread of the flames; cartridges are gone, and none can be made; at 1 P. M. , the flagstaff is shot away, when the flag is nailed to the piece, and displayed from the ramparts. A flag of truce is sent and arrangements for evacuating the fort are made. At 1:55 P. M., the flag is hauled down, and the garrison departs upon honorable terms, bearing their flag, arms, and private property. During the action, no man is hurt in the fort, nor on shore. April 14: Maj. Anderson and his men leave Fort Sumter, and sail for New York. April 15: Correspondence by telegraph between the U. S. secretary of war and the governor of Ky.: Washington, April 15, 1861, To His Excellency, Hon. Beriah Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky: Call is made on you by to-night's mail for four regiments of militia for immediate service. SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War. ----------------------------------------- April 15: Governor Magoffin's response: Frankfort, April 15, 1861. Hon. SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War, Washington City: Your dispatch is reviewed. In answer, I say, emphatically (italicized in book), Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern States. Yours, B. MAGOFFIN. Governor of Kentucky. April 17: Speech of John J. Crittenden at Lexington, to a large audience. He appeals to Kentucky to take no part in the fratricidal war impending between the North and the South, but to stand firm in the attitude of a peaceful mediator, remonstrating with both sections against involving the nation in civil war, the fatal consequences of which no wisdom nor foresight could foretell. His advice was -- not to be forced into civil strife for the North, nor dragged into it for the South -- to take no part with either. Kentucky had done nothing to bring the war about; she had not invited it, it was against her interest, she should do nothing to promote it; but by all the moral force of her position, should bravely hold on to the flag of the Union, and under its broad folds extend the hand of conciliation to both. April 20: A large meeting at Paris condemns the conduct of the Administration, and approves that of Gov. Magoffin. April 22: Capt. Joe DESHA, with a company of over 100 men, leaves Harrison county for the Confederacy. Other companies leave, from other parts of the state. April 22: Hon. L. P. WALKER, Secretary of War of the Confederate States, requests Gov. Magoffin "to furnish one regiment of infantry, without delay, to rendezvous at Harper's Ferry, Virginia." Gov. M. "promptly, and in the fewest words, declined to comply with the request." April 26: President Lincoln, in a conversation in Washington city with Hon. Garret DAVIS, of Paris, Ky., states distinctly that he would make no military movement upon any state or section that did not offer armed resistance to the authorities of the United States, or the execution of the laws of congress; that he contemplated no military operations that would require him to march troops into or across Kentucky, and therefore he should not attempt it; that if Kentucky, or her people, should seize upon the U. S. post at Newport, it would be his duty, and he might attempt, to retake it; that it was the duty of Kentucky to have furnished the quota of troops for which he made the requisition upon her, but that he had neither power, right nor disposition to coerce her; and if she made no war upon her own government of the United States, it would make no war upon her.

Kathryn: There was a Daniel McClain living around the South Fork of the Licking River around 1800. He married Elizabeth (Betsy) King, d/o Edward King. (THE PIONEERS OF PENDLETON CO, published by the Pendleton Co. Historical Society in 2000) I also did a quick search of the Pendleton Co. Genealogy site maintained by Bonnie Snow - it had a couple of references to Daniel McClain as well as several other McClains. You might want to take a look there and see what you can find. Nancye Gray ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathryn Weiss To: KYPENDLE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 8:12 PM Subject: [KYPENDLE] Pendleton County 1800 Hi folks, I have a couple of general questions, maybe you can help me. I find reference to meeting at "McClain's Schoolhouse" in the 1797 Forks of Licking Church records. Who was McClain? Any chance anybody knows where McClains schoolhouse was? Was it in Falmouth? This, before the FOL Meeting House had been built, apparently. Which grown man in Pendleton County in 1800 was the most likely to be a teacher or a professional man, well-educated, particularly trained & highly skilled in mathematics? Who among your ancestors was a mathematician of one skill-set or another? Especially if there was a man who lived near the general area of the the Licking R., and north of Falmouth. Considering that in 1800 the population was 1,613, with a population density of 2.7 people per square mile, I'd guess neighborhoods by definition were larger than we are used to thinking of today. I'll be very interested in your responses.

Langley on last court day, his son, Hansford Langley and Eddie Black found a can filled with gold money amounting to $918.50. When prying our a board under the stairway the can rolled out on the floor, the top came off and the gold pieces scattered in every direction. The container was a one fourth pound Royal Baking powder can and held one $1.00 piece; one #2.50 piece; and number of $5.00 and $10.00 pieces and fourteen $20.00 pieces, all in gold. The oldest coin was made in 1836 and the newest in 1882. The property originally belonged to Mr. & Mrs. John Lee, the former a veteran of the Mexican War, who for many years kept small store, in the frame building connected to the main house, which was of log. He was considered a prosperous merchant in his day and after his death his wife continued to reside in the same property, alone most of the time. Her relatives and friends were always solicitious of her welfare, knowing that she kept large amounts of money in the house, and shortly before her death sevearl years ago, she remarked to a friend that she had money in the house, but had forgotten where she had placed it. This evidently was the money she had in mind, which must have been saved by Mr. Lee as gold money had not been so generally used in the past twenty years. During Mrs. Lee's life, Mr. & Mrs. T. Jap Black occupied rooms in the Lee house, moving there from the farm until their house on Frankfort Street was completed, and after her death the Baptist church members purchased the property, expecting to have a resident pastor and a parsonage later on. The house was occupied at different intervals by the family of Odar Woodruff, John Corlis, Orville Field and the late Taylor Burton, the latter family moving out some months ago, when a decision was reached to sell the house at public auction on court day, to be moved from the lot. Mr. A. R. Langley was the fortunate bidder, and purchased the house for $170.00 which has increased in value probably more than any property in town in such a length of time. -- Brooksville Review Falmouth Outlook Fri. 2 May 1924 Vol. 17 No. 48 Pg. 8 Col. 4 Conry and Antioch Mills Items Mrs. Lester Butcher and little babe spent Saturday night and Sunday with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. H.

Hi Herm, Thanks for the thought about Presby. ministers. Can you tell me the names of those Princeton-educated men, or a brief background?? Or about where they lived in relation to Falmouth? I'd been considering surveyors or engineers being highly trained/skilled in mathematics, was hoping for some names. I hadn't really thought about ministers other than the broad classical education that many received -- hadn't really connected them to math. Bob, thanks for replying, but I am not sure what point you were trying to make. Could you enlighten me? I do understand that 1,613 pop. was not all grown men.
