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. Kathryn

Dec. 9: Gov. Magoffin by circular submits six propositions to the consideration of the governors of the slave states: 1) Amend U. S. constitution so as to repeal all laws of any free state which nullify, or obstruct operation of, the fugitive slave law. 2) So amend the fugitive slave law as to enforce its execution in every free state, and provide to the owner of the slave compensation, from the state which fails to deliver him up or obstructs his recovery. 3) Congress to pass a law compelling governors of free states to return as fugitives from justice any who are indicted for stealing or enticing away slaves. 4) So amend the U. S. constitution as to provide for a division of all territories between the free and slave states -- all north of 37 degrees (latitude) to come in as free states, and all south as slave states, when they have requisite population. 5) Amend U. S. constitution so as to guarantee the free navigation of the Mississippi river forever, to all the states. 6) So alter the constitution as to give the South power, say in the U. S. senate, to protect itself from unconstitutional or oppressive legislation upon slavery. Dec. 18: John J. CRITTENDEN introduced his famous compromise in the U. S. senate.

S. army, in command in Charleston harbor, burns the inside of Fort Moultrie, spikes the guns, and retires, with his band of 80 men, to Fort Sumter, in the mouth of the harbor -- because more defensible than Fort Moultrie.

Dear Doug: Wanted to let you know that one of the obits for the Merrills -- James Samuel Merrill -- must have been a mistake published in the newspaper. His name should have been John Samuel. He's in my direct line. Thank you for all your time and effort with those messages. Diane R.

Thank you for looking. I think the Wm. F. Griffing is a kinsman, but he's not my guy. My William Griffing was b. 1781, d. 1853, and he married April 1804 Pendleton County to Mary Steele, d/o John Steele who was in Pendleton Co. 1800 & d. there 1823. William Griffing shows on the Campbell Co. 1810 census, and on the 1850 Kenton Co. census, but we have been unable to find him for 1820, 1830, 1840, which are crucial years for tracking his family. Although he had property in Kenton Co, and the fam. cem. where he and Mary Steele are buried is in Kenton Co. [just north across the Pendleton/Kenton Co. line], William also owned several lots in Falmouth at his estate settlement, so I wondered if his family had lived there during the years in question... Thanks again for trying!

Falmouth Outlook Fri. 4 Apr 1924 Vol. 17 No. 44 Pg. 3 Col. 2 OLD CYNTHIANA DEMOCRAT A lady in this city gave us a copy of The Cynthiana Democrat, published February 14, 1878. It is a four page paper with nine columns to the pare, and is brim full of live news from Harrison and all surrounding counties. The paper at that time was edited by Hanson Penn Diltz. There were many news items in the paper from Falmouth and Pendleton County. We reprint some of the items of interest to our people that appeared in this issue of the Democrat: Major Bronson is home from an eastern trip. Judge C. H. Lee Sr., attended court at Brooksville last week. Old Licking is again on the rampage and prospects are flattering for a big river. Pendleton Quarterly Court is in session with full docket, Judge Perrin presiding. Dr. J. H. Barbour has purchased a $700 Bradbury piano, and Miss Hattie Pettit bought one for $650. Julius "Duke" Coleman, son of Col. J. C. Coleman, left Monday for Charleston, IL, his future home. The Robbins Brothers have sold their extensive dry goods establishment in this city to Capt Julius C. Coleman. W. F. Clark who lives in the proposed cut off to Grant County, has gone to Frankfort to oppose the proposition. If you will visit Falmouth you will be ashamed of your mud. Yours may be inches deep, but here it is feet and is still increasing. The funeral of Miss Maggie Raney, who died recently, was preached last Sunday at the Baptist church by Rev. Mr. Aulick, of Berryville. A. F. Aulick, now of Bracken County, says it takes five hours to go the fifteen miles from Milford to Falmouth on horseback on account of the mud roads. Born, to the wife of Henry Ellis, a daughter: to the wife of John R. Galloway, a son; to the wife of J. V. Oldham, a son; to the wife of Ben Carter, a daughter. C. A. Robbins, J. E. Thompson, W. H. Roberts and W. B. Riggs were elected town trustees. Judge Jameson was elected police judge and Jno. J. Hobday town marshal. J. U. Riggle and wife, nee Miss Kate Ellis, who were married at Falmouth on Thursday 7 February were given a most elegant reception at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Blackerby. Licenses to we in Pendleton County during the last week: James H. Morris and Miss Kate Hart, Harrison Calvert and Miss Olive Campbell, S. A. Miller and Miss Caroline Hill, Thomas Halpin and Miss Zuella Slater. There is a great deal of sickness in town and county. George Oldham is lying very low, with but little hope of recovery, and one of his children is quite ill with scarlet fever. Capt. Henry Bullock is confined to his home with erysipelas A protracted meeting is being held at the Methodist church under the leadership of Rev. B. F. Bristow, the pastor, who was assisted last week by Rev. R. Hiner and this week by Rev. W. T. Taylor of Nicholasville. Large and attentive congregations, through there was yet been only one addition. Of the various aspirants for public favor I cannot refrain from mentioning our friends J. T. Simon, who is a candidate for county judge, he will be the lucky man, and I fully believe that a majority of the voters of Pendleton county are of the same opinion, and will express themselves at the primary election on the fist Saturday in March, and for county clerk, J. B. Applegate, the present incumbent, will, I think be retained, as he is a good man and an excellent clerk. Falmouth Outlook Fri. 4 Apr 1924 Vol. 17 No. 44 Pg. 3 Col. 4 (Biographical Sketch of Dr. H.

Mrs. Carrie Hendy was the guest Friday of Mrs. Mae Humphrey. Born to Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Price, at Sunrise, the past week a son Otto B. Mrs. Della Woolery returned to her home at Demossville Saturday, after a week's visit to relatives near Sunrise. Born, Saturday, 22 Mar 1924, to Mr. and Mrs. Hickman Carr, of Sunrise, a daughter. Mrs. Carr was Mrs. Cora Dallas Price. Miss Emma Browning was the guest Friday of Mrs. Lena Sellars and with her visited teh school, it being the last day. Everybody in the vicinity has the measles or a chance for them, it seems. The four children of Mr. & Mrs. John Harper are among the latest, doing well, however. The meeting of the Sunrise Christian church is progressing nicely, Mr. Roscoe Thompson assisting the paston, Mr. Charles Japin. Despite the measles epidemic and the inclement weather good crowds are in attendance. Radio fans reported a wind storm due in Harrison County about midnight Saturday and there were some scared people, but, as is often the case, the scare was worse than the reality, for though the wind had done much damage blowing over machines and strippin goff their tops, blowing down fencing, etc., it was not alarmingly heavy that nith. However, most wer glad that it was a false alarm. Since we made our adieus last week, suspect will be accused of fickleness in coming again, but really, we knew you'd miss us so, and anyway, a wise man or woman changes its mind. Those pupils in Richland school to make a term average of 90 or more were: Grade 2, Opal Ruth Dennis, Geneva Moore; Grade 3, Elmer Doggett; Grade 4, Ologa Bradley, Iva Dennis, Leonard Price; Grade 5 and 6, Lillie and Elizabeth Adams, Audrey Hall; Grade 7-8, Lester Price. From so small a school this a splendid average. Those to recieve prizes for most perfect marks in spelling were: Geneva Moore, Elmer Doggett, Ologa Bradlsy, Audrey Fay Hall and Lester Price. The only pupil to attend every day, Raymond Sellers, was awarded a half dollar. Much of the success of the school is due to the cooperation of the parents, as is usually the case. The trustee having offered prizes to the boy and girl causing the least trouble during the term was won by Lester Price and Gladys Hall. One patron gave his own children a prize to go to the one making the highest average during the year. Those things are of assistance to the teacher in getting results. Thank all of the patrons for their kindly co-operation and for their hospitality during my stay among them.

Falmouth Outlook Fri. 14 Mar 1924 Vol. 17 No. 41 Pg. 7 Col. 1 A LETTER FROM IDAHO St. Anthony, Idaho, 20 Feb 1924. Miss Salla Hopkins After being absent from my old home for 24 years, I feel that I would be a stranger among friends should I visit the old Blue Grass State again. No doubt there are a great many who remember Mr. & Mrs. James T. Mains, born and lived in Kentucky until the spring of 1900, in different sections, although many years in the vicinity of Grant's Lick. The writer was born near Demossville, although living in and near Grant's Lick for a number of years in early school-boy days, I claim it as my old home. We just received an invitation to attend the grand old State Homecoming, which would be highly appreciated by us, if we could make arrangements to attend. Father and Mother enjoyed the best vacation of their lives, so they say, when they made a visit to Kentucky some six or seven years ago, and called on relatives and friends all over, from Newport to the Licking River, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Father and Mother Mains are still enjoying the best of health, having raised a family of thirteen children, one passing to the Great Beyond in December 1913, age 11 years, Goldie E. Mains. All except three are married, five living in California. Leaving Grant's Lick, Campbell County, KY in the spring of 1900, we moved to Forest City, MO, where we lived and farmed until 1907, making good and enjoying the best of health. But the call of the West was too much for father, and we, like other, saw greener fields beyond the board Missouri river. Therefore we left Missouri in the fall of 1907, landing at Culbertson, western Nebraska, in what later proved to be the dry belt. After passing through a beautiful winter - an exception - we started the season with about 800 acres, well equipped for farming, 400 acres of fall wheat, which by June was a beautiful picture. But alas! the hot winds came and the entire country dried up, leaving crop destruction in its path. Discouraged to the breaking point, we loaded our goods and equipment into emigrant cars and pulled for the eastern part, landing at Fall City, Neb., not far from the muddy waters of the broad Missouri. This proved a good move, for with bumper crops of corn, hay and other grains, and prices going up we built up a good financial position in a few years. It was here the call of the West again entered our home, and like many others of the rolling stone disposition, rent being cheaper further west, we were preparing to enter the promise land of Idaho, having been informed by one in position to know that bumper crops were grown in the broad Snake river valley by irrigation, and with a never failing water supply which made complete failure unknown. Therefore, we made another auction sale, disposing of some 30 head of cattle, 2 head of horses and mules, hogs, corn and implements. Loading our household goods in emigrant cars, we landed at St. Anthony, Idaho, 1911 where we still reside. Knowing the winters were quite long and cold, with heavy snow fall, also desiring to be handy to school, father bought a nice home in town and leased a large farm adjoining the town site, where we were engaged in growing such crops as wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and seed peas. The first season we learned the irrigation, when to apply the water and when to take it off. After getting the hang of it, there was real pleasure in knowing our crops were not going to burn up, as they did in western Nebraska, and the yield was good. The dry farm section, or the bench land sloping back from the valley to the mountains, is devoted entirely to grain, and some seasons to yield about equals the irrigated. In the valley, all grain and hay crops do well, and is the home of the sugar beet and potatoes. Seed peas do extremely well, that business having grown until today it is the leading industry of this valley. In January 1922, we sold all farming equipment and live stock, going into the second hand business, new and second furniture, later adding groceries until a full line was in. This section has been hit hard by the slump that the entire country is undergoing, many banks closing and Idaho had its share. But we still have hopes, and are building a nice little business. Well, the Dog Derby will soon be on at Ashton, Idaho, the next town up the line. And it has about as much thrill as the races at Alexandria. They have big, husky dogs with harness to fit, then hitch two abreast with six to eight in a team. They are then hitched to a toboggan sled. With lines and whip the driver takes his seat on the sled, gives the signal to go, and the race is on. IT is wonderful what loads they can pull on snow roads. The race is a 24 mile heat, and the one making it the quickest by the watch is winner of the handsome prize. Will try and send pamphlets of the race and entire program later, stating how many thousand dollars is invested in a dog race and for world's title. Well, don't think I am sending this just for publicity, or to be boastful. I am just stating facts in this letter as I see them. And it is quite possible I would not have written this had it not been for the Home Coming invitation to old Kentucky, or better still, the news we get from week to week in the Falmouth Outlook, a friend having been so kind as to send us the paper. We just can't keep from reading it. Grant's Lick news first. I am proud to state the little schooling I did get was in the good old Blue Grass State.
