TIP #366 - SO YOU WANT TO PUBLISH A FAMILY BOOK - PART 3 This week well cover: III Software vs straight typing? A. Software programs B. What format for the book Since you are reading these tips it is intuitively obvious that you have a computer! Make it work for you. You can do it two ways 1. Using a software program that will print out all the family, including the index 2. Typing the material on a word processor and printing it off, adding your own index Until recently, I used the second step; now I am alternating between the two depending on what I want to accomplish. There are a lot of genealogy software programs available and the price has lowered tremendously. When I first started on the computer doing genealogy, I had to write my own program in Basic (and how I hated it!). I have used two different programs - PAF and Family Ancestors. I stopped using PAF many years ago because in their earlier stages, one was limited on the amount of data you could enter. They have upgraded tremendously since then. But, by then, I started using Family Ancestors and have stuck with it. I'm not trying to recommend one program over another - Family Tree Maker, Brother's Keeper - there are dozens of programs out there. When choosing one, just be sure that it will expand as your family tree grows. Also buy one that is user friendly, i.e., it doesn't take a college degree to figure out how to get the data out there! And, one with good support. (preferably with a toll free number!) If you are already using a genealogy program, you data is there, all you have to do is manipulate it a bit. With most of the programs, if not all, you have the option of adding notes and/or sources. Make full use of them if you don't want to have to type up additional information on a word processor --or you can use both. With these programs, you have many possible formats. You can print it in a book form, and can start each generation on a different page, or a continuous print out. You can run charts such as family sheets, pedigree charts, descendancy charts, ancestor charts, etc. You can pick your own type font and size and as mentioned last week, include photographs right with the charts. I am becoming quite fond of this type of publishing family books. The one criticism I guess I would have. If you don't have a spouse name, it will normally say "William Winker was married. It doesn't go on to explain that after 25 years you can't find the wife anywhere. It makes it a little more impersonal. The program will take all the facts that you have given it: birth, marriage, date, burial date and location, biographical and put it in a sentence format. This saves a lot of typing and you don't have to worry about too much else. This has really simplified the process of putting together a family book; it looks professional - all you have to add are all the little goodies I talked about i previous tips - the maps, historical events, etc. Our next topic is: IV Indexing A. Hand indexing B. Computer indexing C. Full name vs surname D. Places as well as people? A. Hand indexing sends chills down our back. Thankfully, by the time I got into heavy publishing, it was easier to index. I know that most word processors come with some sort of indexing function and many of you might be quite familiar with them. I hate them. That's just personal, if you can index rapidly right within the program, go for it! I started out just setting up a word file for every letter of the alphabet, going through the book name by name and flip flopping back and forth. Time consuming! Of course, if you use the indexing format explained above with a software program, you can skip most of this session. But whatever you do, be good to yourself and see if you can find an easier way! B. Computer indexing. As I mentioned above, you can index within a document, but to me, this slows me down terribly. When I started indexing the quarterlies for our local historical society, I needed something a LOT faster. Thankfully, I was introduced to a program called IXM. It is a stand-alone program which can be run under DOS or Windows. It was developed by Brian Harney of Frankfort, KY, and sells for $15.00. I always hesitate to plug a particular program but this one was an answer to prayer. You do have to re-type all the names in your book, but Brian has built in a lot of shortcuts. 1. When a surname is duplicated, you enter ,first name and it will pick up the surname from the line above. 2. If you want a woman's name to be indexed under both her married name and single name, you would enter: Jones,John ,Mary Smith / This will make an entry for John Jones, Mary Jones and Mary Smith. You can also print headings, numbered for you, set it to 2-4 columns, suppress leading zeros in page numbers, and sort it. After entering all the names, a debug program is run which catches all formatting errors. Then the names are sorted for you and printed off. When I upgraded my printer, I came to the stark realization that it would not run a DOS program. There is an easy way of switching IXM to run under windows which offers a bonus that I really like. I run the IXM program through the sort. Then I go in and find the sorted file and copy it to a word document. Once in a word file, I can change the print style to match the book, do my headings differently, change the layout any way I want it. For more information, you might check the following URL: http://members.aol.com/kygs/ixm/ixm.htm C. Full-name indexing versus surname indexing. Come on gang. You've worked this hard to create a masterpiece; don't blow it now. If there's anything I hate worse than a book with no index, is a book with a surname index. If you're a Smith or Jones, Black or Williams ..... there's nothing worse than flipping back and forth page to page to find the one you're looking for. Let's make this book REALLY great. Take the time to put a full name index in it. The readers will love you for it! D. Place index. This is fun; I seldom do it. When I am indexing a book for someone else and they ask for a place index, I will do it. Normally you will index towns and states, events (such was Revolutionary War, etc) .... whatever you feel is important. It does take longer and if you want to do it, it is nice. You can make a separate index or you can have it right with your name index. My only complaint on the latter is that it takes longer to read through the index finding a name when you have to go through a lot of unrelated entries. I will close out the series next week with the actual printing of your book. (c) Copyright 15 November 2001, Sandra K. Gorin, All Rights Reserved. sgorin@glasgow-ky.com Col.

TIP #365 - SO YOU WANT TO PUBLISH A FAMILY BOOK, PART 2. This week, we'll be looking at the following: II Photos and Illustrations A. Where to put them B. How to get them reproduced inexpensively C. Description I think one of the most interesting aspects of publishing a family book is to see what all the ancestors look or looked like! Don't you wish there were cameras in full use before the Civil War? So few family portraits exist (at least in my family!) and it's always a guessing game as to how that first husband and wife in your family tree looked. I'll teach you a fun thing to try. Now, this won't guarantee you'll know how they looked but it's fun and adds a little interest. My youngest daughter taught me this. She's smarter on the computer than her Mom here (both my daughters are though I've been in computers since 1969). I had a photograph of one of their ancestors, a John Darns Gorin from a Masonic Lodge photo. He was old and worn in the picture, but you could see glimpses of a younger, vibrant young man under the surface. She scanned in the photo into one of those paint programs where you can "touch up" the picture. She colored his hair black (we knew that much - family trait!), and removed wrinkles. She erased the stress of time and within a few minutes we had a young man, ready to take on the world. In another instance, we had a picture of Franklin Gorin who was the first white child born in Barren County, KY. He was an old man then also. We had a picture of two of his brothers. But we wanted to see what the father looked like, born 1763. Thankfully, Franklin wrote a book and described his father sort of - we knew he wore a queue, had the typical black hair. Franklin and his brothers looked a lot alike - tall, strong boned. So we took all three pictures and somehow she sort of merged them into one. She added a queue, took off the wrinkles ... and it's as close as we can get to the real McCoy. Fun anyway! A. I have used two different formats in adding pictures. Unless you have unlimited finances, you'll normally print your book in black and white. Sometimes I intersperse photos amongst the data on that individual; sometimes I'll put a photo gallery in the back of the book (you can also do this with maps and illustrations). The latter format allows you to add pictures at the very last moment. It is also possible with some of the available software genealogy programs to put the picture right with the family chart. B. Reproduction. I have a very good copy machine which does exceptionally well on copying photographs. But if you don't, or you have a photo that really just won't copy right, see if you have a Copy Depot in the neighborhood - they come under various names. They have high grade machines which can do an excellent job at an extremely reasonable price. Sometimes you can put together a collage of photos on one page to save even more money. Unless you can afford color photos/prints, have them reproduce it in black and white. The pictures will come out better if you don't mix color prints and black and whites on the same page. A photographer also taught me this. If you want to add current pictures of the family and you like to have color photos; shoot the film in color and ask the developer to develop them in black and white. Black and white film used to be quite inexpensive, but isn't any more. But any camera shop can develop a color roll as black and white. You might want to have them develop one set in color for you and one in black and white for your book. What if you have an old photograph you're going to use, but it's in bad shape, too small or something frustrating? One of the greatest boons to humanity is found in many large stores, including many KMarts and WalMarts where you can make your own copy for about $7.95. If you want it professionally restored, there are companies and individuals that will do this for you. But if you just want a larger picture, or want to crop out the boy making faces behind your relative (only shows up when cameras come out!) ... this is a wonderful tool for the genealogist. A freebie note. If you're at a library copying a photograph (or news item) from an older newspaper that is yellowed, it will make your copy come out looking pretty bad. Get yourself a lightweight sheet of light yellow plastic - similar to what the kids use in school. Lay it over the newspaper. While you might think that this will make the yellowing in the paper worse, it won't, it'll whiten it. C. Description. In other words, who, what, where, why and when! WE might know it's Bill Butterball's place in Gravel Switch, KY ... 10 years from now, maybe not. Try to give a little write up including subject's name, location, approximate date if you know and any little blurb about the picture. Was it someone's birthday? Did Bill just get a promotion? Is he frowning because his daughter just eloped with the town bum? Make the picture come to life! Another note. To keep the family members happy. If someone donated a picture to you, but wants it back, do two things. Run, don't walk, to get a copy made and get the original right back to them, and give them credit! People, including relatives, love to see their name in print, and if they were sweet enough to dig through that trunk in the attic for you - thank them profusely in the book. They might even buy a copy! If you use a published photograph from an out of print book, it is still nice to give the name, publisher and publishing date of the book. Current newspaper pictures are nice too; I always call the newspaper and ask permission to use the picture and add "By permission of such and such newspaper, date, section, page and column number." Adding photographs and other illustrations really can bring a family book to life. It shows real people doing real things! If you have a lot of artistic ability, you can come up with a beautiful photo section. Sometimes it's fun just to buy one of this books with fancy alphabets and borders and dress up the photo. Put an old-fashioned floral design around Grandma Pigsty to make her look like the belle of the ball. Or an outdoor border of trees, hunting, old cars around Uncle Herman Hinkledump's picture. Experiment a bit and you can create a masterpiece with a little thought and ingenuity! Some of my favorite illustrations are nothing more than "fillers." If one page is short of material but you don't want to start someone else's family; use a filler. You can find illustrations from anywhere, many free graphics on hundreds of web sites. Did your cousin Jacobus Jinglebell fight for the Confederacy? Add a graphic of a rebel flag? Did Cousin Jemima Jumpstart love to grow flowers? Find some flower prints to put in the filler spots or somewhere that you want to add a little flair. Graphics of old schools, churches, cemeteries; all can add interest to a plain white page. Next week we'll advance on Printing the Masterpiece. (c) Copyright 8 November 2001, Sandra K. Gorin, All Rights Reserved. sgorin@glasgow-ky.com Col.

TIP #364 - SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A FAMILY BOOK. I have been requested to give an outline of how to publish a family book. I am sure there are books out there telling you how to write a book, but I'm going to give you some ideas, guidelines and thoughts after doing this for over 30 years. Maybe I should call it the "Poorman's Guide to Genealogical Publishing." I have always needed to work on more of a shoestring in publishing and over the years have gotten more accomplished, I hope! It IS important that you preserve your family papers and findings for the family, for posterity. Sometimes it can seem a monstrous task, but it really isn't. So, let's go step by step through a process that might help you. The general outline that I'll follow is shown below and will be developed over several tips. The first tip is Getting Organized. I. Getting Organized - Your materials. A. Where from? B. What kind? C. How much? D. Documentation E. Organization F. Make it interesting! 1. Family Charts 2. Pedigree Charts 3. Maps 4. Photos 5. Historical Events 6. Place setting A. Where from: This is basically easy. Any place you can! Books, microfilm, family histories, oral traditions, web searches, old diaries, school records, interviews ... you know that part pretty well, I'm sure! B. What Kind? This rather over-laps with "A" above, but it's my rule of thumb is this: If it's interesting to me, it should be interesting to others. If it adds flavor to the memories of your family and will help others later on - it's worth saving. If you have family branches as illusive as some of mine, you will be thrilled to find their name in print any place and will definitely want to save that! C. How much? Well - take it from a pro on this ..... don't gather information for so long that when you get it all together, you end up with a 500-600 page monster that is out to get you. (1) it will take too long to organize it into printable form. (2) It will cost too much to publish it. (3) It will cost too much to mail it. (4) It is scary to the reader who thinks he is delving into the sequel of "War and Peace"! If you have a lot, divide it up into more than one volume. Keep them wanting more, not using the book as something to keep the door open or to use as a weight during workout exercises! D. Documentation. All of us, I'm sure, have been guilty in one way or another of gathering information and then not getting it organized. When we go back to look at it later we gulp and ask ourselves: "Where did I get that from" "Who told me that?", "What book did it come from?" Come on, let's be honest!! I know that in the early days of my researching back in the early 1970's, I did that. I was like a kid in a candy shop grabbing every thing I could, meaning to write down later where it came from. Having lived in 5 states in those 30 plus years and visiting a LOT of libraries, all too often, I've had to go back and pray I could remember! Please document! You'll bless yourself in years to come! E. Organization. I started out in a primitive mode. Computers were not in every home, no one had a copier, fax, or laptop to take with them to the libraries. The copy machines left a lot to be desired; most of the books we can now view (in person or on-line) weren't there. We did it the hard way - pencil and paper and a supply of dimes. Libraries were not all that interested in genealogy unless you lived in a larger town. When you were fortunate enough to find your family cited in a book, you wrote until your hand was in spasms and ran out of paper. You were looking for anything to write on ... even toilet tissue was a possibility if you really hit a "bonanza"! The microfilm readers were (and some still are) monsters that tore the end of your film, clanged and banged as you tried to fast forward. One who wears bifocals suffers more than you'll ever know, head tilted back ... a hand behind your neck to keep it from breaking off, black marks and tears over the name you needed. I think a lot of you have been there and done that! When you're writing or copying (from books or films) be sure to write down all the information. If it's a book: title, author, publication date, publisher, page number. If a film, reel #, where you copied the film and the date copied. When you get back home and take two aspirins, start a filing system. It can be in the electronic form on your computer, or in paper form in notebooks. I started out (without a computer) in getting 3 large 3-ring notebooks as I was tracing three different lines of our Gorin family. I started out with a section for the head of the family, and then separate sections for each generation that followed. If I didn't have time to re-do my notes (or am I the only one who writes fast, scribbles all over the page, around the margins, has arrows pointing to various things?)... I still put those pages in the right section. I lose things easily! This will be the basis of your book. F. Make it interesting! There is nothing more boring that reading through a family history book that has nothing but names and dates. I am a firm believer in 'fleshing out' the ancestors. It might take you a tad longer but it is well worth the effort and you'll be proud of the results. I normally use the following: 1. Family charts 2. Pedigree charts 3. Maps 4. Photos 5. Historical events 6. Place data (With the advents of software programs, I usually now use the book format that comes with most programs. However, you can vary your information in different styles to hold the reader's attention.) 1. I use family charts when I want to show an entire family unit and have notes that goes with it. Then I add any extra that pertains to the family. As an example, do you have copies of a will, deed, marriage license, funeral home record? Put a copy of the original in instead of typing it out. To see a photocopy of an old document in a book will always draw your eye to it. As a suggestion; if the copy is hard to read (light, blurred, difficult handwriting), then - under the original document, type out what it says for those of your family and friends that don't read early American handwriting or haven't been to an eye doctor lately to have their eyes tested! 2. Pedigree charts are neat if you are fortunate enough to have one of your family branches go back several generations. I still have never found a pedigree chart that I really like to reproduce for a book. There seems to be problems with all of them. Either they go on page after page and you have to put in detailed instructions on how to jump from page to page, or you can print them off as a wall chart, cut the pages, tape them together, reduce them .... it's a mess. So I don't use a lot of pedigree charts in my books. 3. Maps. I love maps! Maybe it goes back to my elementary school days, but maps hold a fascination for most people. So your ancestor lived in Bourbon County KY. That's fine for us - we have every road memorized from our research; but most people wouldn't know Bourbon County if it hit them in the face! Put in a map of the area where this family lived. If they came from the Old World, find a map! You might even get the oldest US map you can find and plot their course from where they started to where they ended up. 4. Photos! I love looking at the old photos! You can either intersperse them with the biographical and genealogical information or put in a separate section. We'll cover that later on. 5. .Historical Events. So, in 1811 your ancestor was born. Interesting to his parents; maybe exciting to you after hunting for the event for years. But???? What was going on in the world at his birth? Was he born during the big earthquakes along the New Madrid fault line that rattled Kentucky residents? Was the War of 1812 gearing up? Did some royalty die that year? You can find, on the web, historical events - calendars of events for about every year. After letting us know that ggggg-Grandpa Smith entered the world kicking and screaming, tell us what heralded his birth- or his marriage, or his death .... it adds pzazzzzz! 6. Place data. This is sort of like #5 above. Did Aunt Minnie Miniscule live in Mousie, KY? Well, tell me something about Mousie; I've always wanted to know about that town! Where is it, how big of a town was it? Is it still there? Was it a farm town, a railroad town? Did anything important happen there? One excellent source on old Kentucky towns is a book entitled 'Kentucky Place Names" by Robert M. Rennick. I believe it might be on line also. It will tell you the name of the town, what it used to be called, who founded it, how big it is/was. Hopefully, by the time I post the next tip next week, you will be totally organized! <grin>! The way I do it is pretty simple. When I get pictures, maps, photocopies, I put them in a box by the computer. I enter the statistical data or family data on that individual's file on the computer and print myself off a copy. I put the rough draft and the documentation together in that box (or file folder). Then when I'm ready to start printing the final copy, I have everything in one place. That also helps me remember if I've used that material before, rather than duplicating the information. Next week we'll talk about photos and other illustrations. (c) Copyright 1 Nov 2001, Sandra K.

TIP #363 - HE DID WHAT? Did you ever wonder exactly WHAT your ancestor did for a living? Maybe you've been fortunate enough to find an occupation listed on the census other than "farmer" (which was the most common, but a very necessary occupation!) but you have no idea of what it meant! Some of the classifications can be brutally honest - some of which include (and I've seen) Idler -sits on the square all day long Nothing - just looks busy. Can't put down what she really does! Invalid - or at least she says he is Whittler - just sits and whittles all day long But, there were legitimate occupations which have faded into oblivion over the years.

Did you ever wonder if your ancestor moved or the county moved to him? It happened both ways. For the next few weeks, I'm going to cover the original boundaries as set out by the State of Kentucky. These are recorded in "A Collection of All The Public and Permanent Acts of the General Assembly Which Are Now In Force, Arranged and Digested According To Their Subjects, Together With Acts of Virginia Relating to Land Titles, The Recovery of Rents, And the Encouragement Of Learning Never Before Printed In This State, etc. The acts were published in 1802. If a county was formed after 1802, it will not be shown here. Under Part 1 of the Laws of Kentucky is found the laws establishing the boundaries of the state and the several counties February 25, 1797. These laws were modified time after time of course, but this might help you figure out where your ancestor lived and why he seemed to be packing up the wagon every few months! 31 Dec 1776 - Kentucky County.

So many times, when we try to determine why our ancestors just seemed to disappear from the face of the earth, we are forced to look at natural disasters, epidemics or wars to see if they might have been among the casualties. This tip will deal with the grandfather of all earthquakes as seen totally through the eyes of those who were there or who have written about it. The New Madrid Fault line lies halfway between St. Louis, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee. In 1811 and 1812, a series of earthquakes shook this area. It was centered in Madrid, Illinois where the Missouri and Ohio Rivers meet the Mississippi. It shook the eastern half of the continent of the United States. The quakes lasted four months. The Legend of Tecumseh: Tecumseh is portrayed as a great and powerful warrior who was also a diplomat, a peacemaker and a prophet. Tecumseh "prophesied" this greatest earthquake ever to hit the continent. The prophecy was given many months in advance of the quake, and was accurate down to the very day it occurred. This prophecy was known as the "Panther Across the Skies." This account of the New Madrid Earthquake was recorded by George Heinrich Crist, residing at the time in the north-central Kentucky county of Nelson, near the present location of Louisville. It was submitted by Floyd Creasey - 4th tier great-grandchild to author, now a Texas resident. Words spelled as shown. 16 December 1811 [spelling as shown] "There was a great shaking of the earth this morning. Tables and chairs turned over and knocked around - all of us knocked out of bed. The roar I thought would leave us deaf if we lived. It was not a storm. when you could hear, all you could hear was screams from people and animals. It was the worst thing that I have ever wittnesed. It was still dark and you could not see nothing. I thought the shaking and the loud roaring sound would never stop. You could not hold onto nothing neither man or woman was strong enough - the shaking would knock you lose like knocking hicror nuts out of a tree. I don't know how we lived through it. None of us was killed - we was all banged up and some of us knocked out for awile and blood was every where. When it got day break you could see the damage done all around. We still had our home it was some damage. Some people that the home was not built to strong did not. We will have to hunt our animals. Every body is scared to death. we still do not know if anybody was killed. I made my mind to one thing. If this earth quake or what ever it was did not happen in the Territory of Indiana then me and my family is moving to Pigeon Roost as soon as I can get things together. 23 January 1812 "What are we gonna do? You cannot fight it cause you do not know how. It is not something that you can see. In a storm you can see the sky and it shows dark clouds and you know that you might get strong winds but this you can not see anything but a house that just lays in a pile on the ground - not scattered around and trees that just falls over with the roots still on it. The earth quake or what ever it is come again today. It was as bad or worse than the one in December. We lost our Amandy Jane in this one - a log fell on her. We will bury her upon the hill under a clump of trees where Besys Ma and Pa is buried. A lot of people thinks that the devil has come here. Some thinks that this is the beginning of the world coming to a end. 8 Febuary 1812 "If we do not get away from here the ground is going to eat us alive. We had another one of them earth quakes yesterdy and today the ground still shakes at times. We are all about to go crazy - from pain and fright. We can not do anything until we can find our animals or get some more. We have not found enough to pull he wagons. 20 March 1812 "I do not know if our minds have got bad or what. But everybody says it. I swear you can still feel the ground move and shake some. We still have not found enough animals to pull the wagons and you can not find any to buy or trade. 14 April 1813 "We lived to make it to Pigeon Roost. We did not lose any lives but we had aplenty troubles. As much as I love my place in Kentucky - I never want to go back. From December to April no man - woman or animal if they could talk would dare to believe what we lived through. From what people say it was not that bad here - They felt the ground move and shake but it did not destroy cabins and trees like it did in Kentucky. I guess that things was as bad here but at least they could see the enemy. on 3 September 1812 the Shawnees that William thought was friendly went crazy and them savages killed twenty four people...." The Terrific Earthquake of New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812. Taken from Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri. Pages 304-306: "In 1811 and 1812 the inhabitants of New Madrid District experienced a series of the most terrific earthquakes that have ever occurred on the American continent. The best account of these fearful convulsions that could be obtained is given in the following letter, written to Rev. Lorenzo Dow, from Eliza Bryan. New Madrid Territory, Missouri. March 22, 1816 Dear Sir: In compliance with your request, I will now give you a history, as full in detail as the limits of a letter will permit, of the awful visitation of Providence in this place and its vicinity. On the 16th of December, 1811, about 2 o'clock, A.M., we were visited by a violent shock of an earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise, resembling loud but distant thunder, but more hoarse and vibrating, which was followed in a few minutes by the complete saturation of the atmosphere, with sulphurious vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the affrighted inhabitants running to and fro, not knowing where to go or what to do, the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species, the cracking of trees falling, and the roaring of the Mississippi, the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing, as is supposed, to an erruption in its bed, formed a scene truly terrible. >From that time until about sunrise a number of lighter shocks occurred, at which time one still more violent than the first took place, with the same accompaniments, and the terror which had been excited in every one, and indeed in all animal nature, was now, if possible, doubled. The inhabitants fled in every direction to the country, supposing (if it can be admitted that their minds can be exercised at all) that there was less danger at a distance from than near the river. In one person, a female, (Mrs. Lafont), the alarm was so great that she fainted, and could not be revived. There were several shocks a day, but lighter than those already mentioned, until the 23d of January, 1812, when one occurred, as violent as the severest of the former ones, accompanied by the same phenomena as the former. >From this time until the 4th of February the earth was in a continual agitation, visibly waving as a gentle sea. On that day there was another shock, nearly as hard as the proceeding ones; next day four such, and on the 7th, about 4 o'clock A.M., a concussion took place so much more violent than those which had preceeded it, that it was denominated the hard shock. The awful darkness of the atmosphere which, as formerly, was saturated with sulphurous vapor, and the violence of the tempestuous thundering noise that accompanied it, together with all of the other phenomena mentioned as attending the former ones, formed a scene, the description of which would require the most sublimely fanciful imagination. At first the Mississippi seemed to recede from its banks, and its water gathered up like a mountain, leaving, for a moment, many boats which were here on their way to New Orleans, on the bare sand, in which time the poor sailors made their escape from them. It then rising fifteen or twenty feet perpendicularly, and expanding, as it were, at the same moment, the bank overflowed with a retrograde current rapid as a torrent. The boats, which before had been left on the sand, were now torn from their moorings, and suddenly driven up a little creek, at the mouth of which they laid, to the distance, in some instances, of nearly a quarter of a mile. The river, falling immediately as rapidly as it had risen, receded within its banks again with such violence that it took with it whole groves of young cottonwood trees which ledged its borders. They were broken off which such regularity in some instances that persons who had not witnessed the fact would with difficulty be persuaded that it had not been the work of art. A great many fish were left on the bank, being unable to keep pace with the water. The river was literally covered with the wrecks of boats, and it is said that one was wrecked in which there was a lady and six children, all of whom were lost. In all the hard shocks mentioned the earth was horribly torn to pieces; the surface of hundreds of acres was from time to time covered over of various depths by the sand which issued from the fissures which were made in great numbers all over the country, some of which closed up immediately after they had vomited forth their sand and water, which, it must be remarked, were the substances generally thrown up. In some places, however, there was a substance resembling stone-coal or impure stone-coal thrown up with the sand. It is impossible to say what the depth of these fissures or irregular breaks were. We have reason to believe that some were very deep. The site of this town was evidently settled down at least fifteen feet, and not more than a half a mile below the town there does not appear to be any alteration in the bank of the river, but back from the river, a small distance, the numerous large ponds, or lakes, which covered a great part of the country, are nearly dried up. The beds of some of them are elevated above their former banks, several feet, producing an elevation fifteen or twenty feet from their original state, and lately it has been discovered that a lake (Reelfoot Lake) was found on the opposite side of the Mississippi in the Indian country, upward of 100 miles in length, and from one to six miles in width of the depth of from ten to fifty feet. It has communication with the river at both ends, and it is conjectured that it will not be many years before the principal part, if not the whole of the Mississippi will pass that way. We were constrained, by fear of our houses falling, to live twelve or eighteen months after the first shocks in little light camps made of boards; but we gradually became callous and returned to our homes again. Most of those who fled from the country in the time of the hard shocks have returned home. We have felt since their commencement in 1811, and still continue to feel slight shocks occasionally. It is seldom that we are more than a week without feeling one, and sometimes three or four a day. There were two this winter past, much harder than we have felt for two years before, but since then they appear to be lighter than they have ever been, and we begin to hope that erelong they will entirely cease. I have now, Sir, finished my promised description of the earthquake, imperfect it is true, but just as it occurred to my memory, many of, and most of the truly awful scenes having occurred three or four years ago. They of course are not related with that precision which would entitle it to the character of a full and accurate picture, but such as it is, it is given with pleasure, in the full confidence that it is given to a friend. And now, Sir, wishing you all good, I must bid you adieu. Your humble servant, Eliza Bryan" Times of Long Ago, Barren County, Kentucky, published as newspaper articles in the 1870's by the Honorable Franklin Gorin of Glasgow, KY: "It was in 1811 the earthquakes were felt and the comet beheld. The first shock of the earthquake was terrible. It occurred in the night. The houses rocked, the furniture and chairs it seemed were tossed around the house, and men, women and children were almost frightened out of their senses. The second was felt at breakfast time, and was similar to the first. All was confusion and dismay. Few, if any, of our citizens had ever felt an earthquake before, and though the oldest people understood what it was, their consternation was so great they knew not what was to come next. There were many after shocks, all light. They were not minded, as repetition familiarizes us to most things. The comet, accompanied by its long tail, appeared in the northwest before or after the earthquakes. Its appearance, together with the battle of Tippecanoe, produced a state of mind more easily imagined than described. Some firmly believed the world was soon to be in a flame of fire, and the day for which all other days were made would soon make its advent. Others said we were to have war, and the women and children were generally affrightened. The day of Judgment did not come, but war, cruel war, barbarous war, for many men, women and children were killed, tomahawked and scalped." [Note, Franklin Gorin was 13 years old at these happenings.] "The four major earthquakes of the sequence, two in the early-morning hours of December 16, 1811, one on the morning of January 23, 1812, and the largest one at 3:00 on February 7, 1812 - were felt as far away as Hartford, Connecticut, to the northeast; Charleston, South Carolina, to the east; and New Orleans, to the south. Closer to the epicenters of the events, in an area extending from Cairo, Illinois, to the north and Memphis, Tennessee, to the south, the land was severally disrupted by subsidence, uplifting, sand blows, landslides, and fissuring. Large tracts of forest were submerged as a result of the subsidence. The quake destroyed the settlements of New Madrid, Missouri; Little Prairie (now Caruthersville), Missouri; and Big Prairie, near the mouth of the St. Francis River, in what is now Arkansas." "In Kentucky, the earthquake caused severe damage to homes and other structures in Henderson and Morton's Gap, and minor damage to structures in the central Kentucky communities of Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, and Maysville." (James Penick, Jr, The New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-19812, Columbia, Mo, 1976). The shocks were so severe that: Citizens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk, Virginia felt the shock. Devastation was great in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. The southeast part of Missouri, the northeast part of Arkansas, the southwest part of Kentucky, and the northwest part of Tennessee felt the effects. Reelfoot Lake, in the northwest corner of Tennessee, stands today as evidence of the might of these great earthquakes. Stumps of trees killed by the sudden submergence of the ground can still be seen in Reelfoot Lake. The St Francis River area saw the formation of a like which had its water replaced by sand. Numerous dead fish were found in the former lake bottom. Large fissures, so wide that they could not be crossed on horseback, were formed in the soft alluvial ground. The earthquake made rich prairie lands unuseable for farming because of fissures, and land which became swamps. Entire islands disappeared, banks caved into the rivers, and fissures opened and closed in the river beds. Water spouting from these fissures produced large waves in the river. New sections of river channel were formed and old channels cut off. Boats were capsized and an unknown number of people were drowned. Although the total number of deaths resulting from the earthquakes is unknown, the toll probably was not large because the area was sparsely populated and because the log cabin type construction that was prevalent at that time withstood the shaking very well. Masonry and stone structures did not fare so well, however, and damage to them was reported at distances of 250 kilometers and more. In 1815, the Congress passed the first disaster relief act providing the landowners of ravaged ground with an equal amount of land in unaffected regions.

TIP #359: CODE DUELLO The backwoods pioneers were by most standards, rawboned. They worked hard, played hard and had little time for the more polished and genteel ways known to many of their ancestors in the formal balls of Virginia, the cultured manners and the fine clothes. But during the 1800's, little by little some of the gentleness and cultural traits attempted to make their appearance again. Whereas in the past, many a quarrel was settled by a gunshot blast, the men now turned to a more refined way to settle their differences - the duel. Gentleman of noblest title considered this the proper way to settle disputes. Why it was much more cultured than the rough and tumble fights, when the sometimes drunken pioneer would end the dispute with one shot! A gentleman simply demanded satisfaction from another gentleman in a duel. The argument might have not even borne merit, but once challenged, one would be considered a total coward if the challenge was unmet. It was expected that the duel would end in death for one of the parties. It was always considered a shame if the wrong party died, but again, that was life. There were definite traditions or rules that must be adhered to. The person whose honor had been shamed sent a note, challenging the offender. This was normally delivered by a friend. He offered the choice of place where the duel would be fought, the choice of weapon and the date and time. Normally, a spot was chosen in some quiet out-of-the-way spot where the general public could not observe the duel. Each man had a second (or seconds) and if possible, a physician. The men met to draw up the formal agreement as to how the duel was to be handled, not detail was too small to be overlooked. Pistols were the weapons of choice; ten paces (30 feet), the normal distance the men strode from each other; only when a greater distance was chosen would rifles or shotguns be used. Every detail was carried out by a code of honor since there was nothing formal in writing in early Kentucky history. The principals followed the long traditions of Virginia, Maryland or the Carolinas. It was carefully considered that both parties were on the same social standing. If one of the participants were of a lower social standing, it was looked down upon. If the challenged person refused the duel, he was "posted". This means that handbills were distributed around town proclaiming him a coward, a wretch or slanderer. Thus, one was shamed into fighting the duel if one's reputation was to survive! Many of the individuals involved in the duels already owned a set of dueling pistols as this tradition had been carried on for generations. The cases holding the pistols were sometimes mahogany, contained not only the pistols but the powder measure, bullet molds and ramrods. These were treasured by the family and passed from generation to generation. The first recorded code duel was recorded on 1 August 1790 in what became Danville - before Kentucky became a state. Captain James Strong and Henry Craig were the participants; Captain Strong was shot in the right groin, leaving a mortal wound. Mr. Craig was struck in the thigh but survived. In 1794, in Garrard County, General Thomas Kennedy became involved in a duel. He was a very well-to-do Virginian and owned a large plantation in Kentucky. William Gillespie was a cattle trader from Madison County, and after a business deal went sour, found themselves involved at 30 paces. Gillespie was mortally wounded and Kennedy escaped injury. By 1799, the Kentucky Legislature was taking the first steps to bring dueling to a halt. They passed an act entitled "An Act more Effectually to Suppress the Practice of Gambling & Dueling", and levied a fine of 150 to 500 dollars for violations. Even prison terms were added, and the offending parties were barred from holding public office for 7 years. But ... Judge John Rowan, a very noted judge of Nelson County and Dr James Chambers, a young physician met face to face on 21 January 1801. The meeting was at Duncan McLean's Tavern in Bardstown - just a friendly evening of beer drinking and card playing. After playing a game of vigutum (twenty-one), with bets flying, the two gentleman came to a major disagreement. Name calling followed, becoming more heated with each round, then a fist fight, and two days into the game, a duel was arranged. They met 3 February 1801 at dawn on Jacob Yoder's plantation on Beech Fork. Both swung around and fired, but neither bullet found its mark. A second fire ensued and Dr. Chambers fell to the ground with a ball in his chest. He died at his home before but a few hours of the next day had dawned. Judge Rowan was then tried for murder after an immediate arrest. But, after hearing testimony, the magistrate found insufficient evidence to take the matter to the Grand Jury and Rowan walked out a free man. On 30 May 1806, Major General Andrew Jackson took his place in the dueling history hall of fame, along with Charles Dickinson, at attorney from Nashville, TN. They met at Harrison's Mills on Red River in Logan County. This duel was caused over a horse race involving Dickinson's father-in-law, James Erwin who had lost $10,000 to Jackson in a wager. Dickinson had made questionable statements about Jackson's wedding with Rachel Robards. As the story has been told often, Lewis Robard has obtained a bill to permit him to be divorced from Rachel. But, he did not follow through with the court action. Andrew Jackson and Rachel had become engaged and assuming that the divorce had gone through, were married by a Catholic priest in Natchez in 1791. In Harrodsburg, at the Court of Quarter Sessions in 1794, the divorce was finally granted but by then the scandal had grown to gigantic proportions. On 21 May 1806, a card was handed to the editor of the Nashville Review which declared General Jackson a "worthless scoundral, a poltroon and a coward." Jackson challenged Dickinson the next day, was accepted and it was decided to use pistols at 8 paces. Jackson took a hit in the left arm but didn't drop making Dickinson think he had missed. A second shot was called for; but this time Jackson's pistol jammed half-cock. He was allowed to try again since this wasn't considered a true fire. Jackson fired again; Dickinson fell backwards to the ground with his friends rushing to catch him. He died an agonizing death that night about 9 pm. When Jackson as checked it was found he had been hit, inches from his heart, breaking a rib and grazing his breastbone. He suffered from that wound until his dying day 40 years later. To avoid the Kentucky penalty of not being able to serve in public office for 7 years if found dueling, the gentleman evaded the law by holding their duels out of state. Henry Clay (a member of the Kentucky House at the time) went across the Ohio River to Indiana (Floyd County) to act out his gentleman's duel with Humphrey Marshall on 19 Jan 1809. This dispute had started in the House itself as Marshall was also with the KY Legislature. Dr Frederick Ridgely was in attendance for Clay and Marshall likewise had a physician with him. Clay's first shot grazed Marshall; a second shot snapped from the pistol and was a wild shot. On the third fire Clay was wounded and his seconds ordered the duel to stop. Even the physicians assisting at the duels occasionally became involved. Two physicians of Lexington, Drs Dudley and Drake became thus engaged in 1818 over the autopsy of a Irishman. These two doctors, trained at Transylvania, had been at odds for several months and this was the catalyst. On 5 Aug 1818, the surgeons and their attendants met at a dueling grounds in central Kentucky, about 6 ½ miles northwest of Lexington. The pistols fired and the smoke cleared. Dr Dudley was untouched; Dr Richardson fell, seriously wounded and bleeding heavily; an artery had been severed. Dr Dudley stepped forward, he who had shot the almost fatal shot and offered his services as Richardson was near death. He saved his opponents life. Frankfort, KY, 4 July 1819 - Independence Day plus 43 years. Three local military companies and many citizens were in Cove Springs. The companies took the field and began a show-off muster. To men, Jacob H Holeman (a newspaper man from Frankfort) and Francis G Waring (also of Frankfort), were in Captain Alexander Rennick's company that day. Both were "strutting their stuff", showing off proudly. Then Holeman's dog trotted onto the field closely behind his owner's heels. Officer Warring became distressed and angry and killed the dog. A fist fight broke out immediately; and a duel was challenged. On the 16th of July, they met on the farm of Rev. Silas M Noel and pistols spat. Waring fell forward; the ball from Holeman's pistol entering his right breast. He died immediately. Jacob H Holeman and his second, Wilson P Green were tried in the Franklin Circuit Court for the murder. They were found "not guilty". 9 March 1829. Charles Wickliff, son of Old Duke Wickliffe, shot and thus killed Thomas Benning, editor of the Kentucky Gazette. The trial was set for 30 June 1829. Wickliffe went free. George James Trotter, son of the fallen editor, took over the paper. He became angry over some publicity on the trial, and felt he needed to defend the honor of his late father. Thus, a week later, he published a formal challenge to George J Trotter who accepted the challenge. Captain Henry Johnson and Dr James Ritchie were seconds to the parties and the duel proceeded Both men shot and neither bullet found its mark. A second fire was demanded and Wickliffe was mortally wounded and died some 3 hours later. Despite laws to the contrary, the duels continued. On 15 May 1841, Cassius M Clay and Robert Wickliffe Jr of Lexington met on the fields in Indiana. Flintlock pistols at 30 feet were chosen, and after 2 rounds, no one was injured. The matter was solved peacefully by the seconds. On the 17th of January 1848, Lt. Roger Hanson of Clark County and William M Duke of Scott Co met on the dueling grounds in Indiana, opposite the mouth of the Kentucky River. 3 rounds were fired without incident. On the fourth fire, Hanson had his left thigh broken, laming him for live. This duel was over a young lady, Caroline Hickman, who later married the challenger. Captain Henry C. Pope and John Thompson Gray, lawyers from established families, met in Louisville. Pope was just returning from the Mexican War and was engaged in a game of cards at the old Galt House. The drinking was heavy and a knife was drawn by Pope threatening one of the other players. Gray threw the knife out the window and loud talk resulted. After more insults, a fight ensued on the front yard outside the hotel. Captain Pope felt that only a duel would solve the matter and they agreed to meet in Indiana across from Six Mile Island on 14 June 1849. When the guns fired, Pope crumbled and fell backwards; the ball had broken his thigh into pieces. He was placed in a boat and was rowed to Louisville. His second, Dudley Haydon attended him but Pope was said to have laid down and died without a struggle." John Thompson Gray survived untouched but his reputation for killing one of Louisville's most popular young men drove him from Louisville and took him back home to Maryland. He came back to Louisville in the 1850's but forever bore the shame upon his reputation. William T Castro, a popular lawyer and the mayor of Maysville was arrested in the early months of the Civil War for aiding the Confederate States of America. He was taken to Fort Lafayette, the Federal prison in New York Harbor. When he was released in February of 1862, he returned to his home in Mason County, KY. Colonel Leonidas Metcafle (son of former Governor Thomas Metcalfe), was a Colonel in the U S Army stationed near Maysville. He was the one who had arrested Castro and others and after many hard feelings, Castro demanded a duel and so informed Metcalfe. The duel was fought 8 May 1862, and Metcalfe was living dangerously since he was an officer in the Army. They went to Bracken Co, and Colts 56 caliber revolving were chosen. Only one chamber of the weapon was loaded. Each man was examined to be sure they weren't wearing armor underneath their suits. Castro sank to the ground upon the shot, the ball entering under the heart. He only lived 15 minutes. The last few duels came at the end of the Civil War. The Desha-Kimbrough "affair of honor" was fought on the James K. Duke farm near the Scott-Fayette Co line 26 Mar 1866. Both had a lot to lose - they were both Harrison County boys; they had gone to school together; Joseph Desha being named for the ex-Governor of Kentucky. He was a Captain in the Confederate Army. Kimbrough was a Union man, a sergeant in Company K, 4th KY Volunteer Army. The duel took place after a quarrel and fist fight in Cynthiana, KY in February 1866. Pistols at ten paces were chosen and on the 26th of March they met at the above dueling grounds. (The Dudley-Richardson duel had been fought here the previous August; the Trotter-Wickliff duel was held there in March of 1829 and the William O Smith and Thomas H Holt duel in 1849.) Major William Long was the second to Kingrough; Dr W B Kean his surgeon. Desha picked his cousin, Lt. Col. Dr Hervey McDowell of Cynthiana for his second and Dr John Burk of Lexington for his physician. They used Henry Clay's dueling pistols - fine specimens made in Sheffield, England. A coin was tossed for the choice of position and Dr Hervey McDowell won. Another toss and the same man was allowed to give the word. On first shot, no one was hurt. On second fire, Kimbrough fell forward and fell face down, shot in the hip. Desha was unhurt. The duel was finished - Kimbrough suffering the rest of his life from a bad hip where he had been shot. I might add that a few years back, I was present at the swearing in of a judge here in Barren County. The wording has never been changed - he had to promise not to be engaged in a duel! In addition to swearing to support the constitutions of the United States and Kentucky, they must take another oath: "I do further solemnly swear (or affirm) that since the adoption of the present Constitution, I, being a citizen of this state, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as a second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God." According to the Courier-Journal Website, between 1790 and 1867, 16 people died from dueling; the victors were never punished.

TIP #358 - THE 1830'S CHOLERA EPIDEMIC IN KENTUCKY While the nation reels from the effects of the attack on our county Sept. 11, 2001, many times of tragedy have hit our country including Kentucky. While nothing in the past could come close to what the 21st century citizens face, they faced their own tragedies. My prayers for those who lost their lives and for our country. Thank you for your concern over my post; my step-daughter and friend have been found safe. Many of us have heard of the devastating cholera epidemic that visited KY in 1854 after the circus came to various towns. This disease which raged for many months, wrought destruction on not only Glasgow (who reportedly lost 50% of its population), but followed the circus from Tennessee, through Kentucky and into Missouri and Illinois. Due to the lack of knowledge of how to treat cholera at the time, and the confusion of why the epidemic lasted so long here, it was a fearful time. But, this was not the first time that cholera struck Kentucky and involved the south central portion of the state. In India, 1826, the epidemic began. By 1831, due to the early travels of citizens, it reached the British Isles and soon found its way across the Atlantic Ocean. Finding New York City as a lucrative home away from home, the city was soon to be experiencing many deaths from the deadly disease, Asiatic Cholera. By 1832, this dread disease was moving ever so slowly westward and Kentucky braced for the first report. It was said that Kentucky doctors were telling the people to have no fear since they believed the disease to be non-fatal if treated promptly. The physicians held to the theory of the day that cholera was caused by poisonous gases produced by rotting vegetable matter. So they told the people to just avoid these gases, stay out of the mid-day sun, don't become chilled, don't eat indigestible foods and avoid "ardent spirits." Cholera was a painful way to die. It was spread through drinking water contaminated by fecal discharges of other cholera patients and caused copius and purging diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps and general prostration. The patient rapidly became dehydrated, weak, had below normal temperatures and many other horrid symptoms. But, the general population trusted their doctors and just avoided rotting vegetables! In October 1832, cholera reached Kentucky. It is reported to have come from a cook who worked between Cincinnati and Louisville. By early November 122 fatalities had been reported. Next came Henderson, Maysville, Frankfort, Bardstown and Lexington. 10% of the population of Henderson died. But then an early frost seemed to arrest the spread of cholera and everyone thought the worst was over. The people went about their lives and started the new year of 1833 with great optimism. But with the renewal of spring came the cholera. It began again in May of that year and panic ensued. People fled the town in great numbers and by mid June 60 people had died. 1 Wherever the people fled, they took the Asiatic Cholera with them. People along the Maysville-Lexington Road were infected, it followed them through Flemingsburg (1/6th died who remained). Elizaville was wiped off the map. Those in Shebourne fled to the mountains for safety; Blue Lick and Harrodsburg were hit hard. Lexington didn't worry - it had been billed as the healthiest town in the state. But shortly after a torrential rain storm there, 50 people died in one day and 1/3rd of the population of 6,000 fled. And again, the trail of death followed them. Versailles and Nicholasville were spared. Frankfort had over 100 deaths in the country. Lancaster lost 116; Somerset 34; Danville, 55. Centre College in Danville closed and the students ran out in a panic. Richmond lost 17; Winchester, 25. And then there was Louisville. While the newspapers only reported 15-20 deaths, the citizenry reported many more. But, Louisville was not panicked. They felt they were safe because the cholera had not originated in their city and that offered them protection. 2 The epidemic was getting closer by the day to south central Kentucky. By Spring 1834, it had made its way to Bowling Green, KY and was reported that the town had expected to be spared. But, Bowling Green, Glasgow and Greensburg all suffered from the cholera. Russellville, in Logan County, took the brunt of the epidemic. In 1835, during a three-week period, 147 people died and most of the other residents fled. 3 Life changed drastically for the towns infected. It was noted that wills were drawn up, medications purchased, farewell letters written to loved ones. People who had been living a sinful life fled to the church for confessions and prayers. Towns were vacant, business was stopped, fields were left to grow with weeds. Steamboats were docked, stores, taverns and hotels were closed. Police stopped walking the beat, many physicians fled in terror and left their patients unattended. Those remaining were in a state of physical and emotional exhaustion. Newspapers were seldom printed except to list the latest fatalities. Coffin making was so in demand that many people were buried in trunks and boxes, or wrapped in the bed linens upon which they had died. Special carts made the rounds of the city streets to try to collect the coffins or enshrouded bodies. No clergy performed the funeral, and it was reported that at one town cemetery, the coffins, boxes or bodies were dropped inside the cemetery gate and just left for fear of contamination. Many in the south central KY area were just pushed into a shallow trench and the decaying flesh could be smelled for miles. 4 Since cholera lowered the heart beat and body temperature, it is feared that many people were buried prematurely. Theories as to the cause of cholera continued for many years. Some blamed it on God's judgment. Others who died were accused of being wicked or of possessing a secret vice. Filth, poverty and vice were blamed in Louisville. Family traits and genes were blamed - the "lower life" were said to get cholera. Fresh fruits and vegetables were still suspect thus most people didn't eat these during the epidemics. Treatments to the infected were pathetically ineffective. In the later Glasgow epidemic, drinking water with pine tar was the hopeful cure. When medicines were prescribed, the majority contained calomel, opium and performing a lancet. Calomel was a mercuric chloride compound used to treat other diseases. Opium was added to relieve muscle spasms and cramps and to calm the stomach. Lancet was what is also known as bleeding the victim that they believed would reduce the congestion in the blood vessels. Hot packs were used to retain the body heat since body temperatures dropped drastically. Some physicians prescribed the following: 1 ounce opium 1 oz. gum of myrrh 2 scruples of camphire [a scruple is approximately 20 grains] 60 gr of musk 2 scruples of flower of Benzoin 1 scruple of Incense of Irodine [iodine] 5 pints of French Brandy One teaspoon was to be taken 2-3 times a day as a preventative. This was followed by a ½ glass of wine every 15 minutes. 5 With that much alcohol, at least they didn't suffer as much! The epidemic finally came to a close in the fall of 1835 when Kentucky experienced a cold fall. Cholera was never totally eradicated from the United States, and various cases were experienced yearly. But the Trail of Death finally was stopped. Note: In Glasgow, the epidemic of 1854 was finally stopped, not by cold weather, but upon the discovery that the disease was being spread through the water source for the town. It was noted by Cyrus Edwards and other contemporaries that many bodies were buried where they fell. As most of the residences in town were around the square, they were at a higher altitude than the water source for the town, the Big Spring. The waters of the Big Spring were being contaminated by rains washing over the remains of the victims and down into the Spring. ______ 1 "History of Maysville and Mason County, Kentucky (Lexington, 1936), pp. 178-179, a quote from the Lexington Observer of June 1, 1833. 2 Lexington Observer, Juy 7, 183; William R.

Other areas of Kentucky produced salt but paled in comparison to the quantity produced in the area discussed in the last tip. There were wells and furnaces everywhere and men by the hundreds were employed in the industry. Some were wood choppers, some waggoners, kettle tenders or drew water. Hunters frequented the area as well as storekeepers, coopers, carpenters; people came from all over the wilderness of what was to become Kentucky. Others came to protect the salt makers, and those who were lured by the possibility of striking it rich. The salt produced was sent to many parts of the United States. Flatboats and pack trains carried it to Tennessee, Illinois and throughout the state. This was the most noted area of the state during the early days. Louisville had been settled sparsely, but was considered by many as a "sickly" place due to the abundance of stagnant water from ponds and swamps. Lexington at this time was just a mere stockade. Frankfort had not yet been heard of. A letter was written by Thomas Perkins of Lincoln Co KY in 1785 to the Honorable J. Palmer in Braintree, Massachusetts in which he made note of Bullitt's Lick. He said that "about 40 gallons of water would produce a bushel of salt. The wells were dug 30-35 feet deep and the closer they got to the mountains, the more the water was impregnated with salt. The going rate was $3.00 per bushel." (Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society 1871-1873 (Boston, 1873), pp 38-39). The production of salt seems to have involved the following: The furnaces were just long trenches dug back along the top of the bank. These furnaces were walled with slate up to 15 inches thick that was then laid with a mortar of clay. The kettles used were about 22 gallons each or larger. These were set on the top of the trench in a row, 50 or more in the row. The furnace was then fired from the front of the row and the smoke and fire were sucked along under the kettles, ending up coming out in a stone chimney at the end of the pit. A shed roof was put over this row to protect it from inclement weather. Salt water was then poured into the kettles and boiled for twenty-four hours. From there the water was transferred to a cooler which was a trough which acted as a settling tank. The saturated brine was drawn off the into the kettles again and again boiled until it became grainy. Sometimes it was noted that blood was added to purity the water, or they put in the white of an egg. When the grains began to form salt crystals, the fires were cooled slightly but still allowed to boil. The salt was then dipped out by hand as it formed and put into baskets for draining. The drippings were caught in pans and returned to the "mother" - the water in the kettles. Nothing was wasted. These mothers were never allowed to boil dry; when the water level became too low, additional water was added which had been boiled for 24 hours. When the water became too impure, the water was replaced and the process started all over again. The wells, from which the original water was drawn, were shored up with timber; later stone was used. They were protected by sheds to keep rain from flowing into them. The furnaces were some distance from the well and were brought to the furnace through a covered wooden flume. Normally gum or sassafras logs were used for this. Each pipe was bored out by hand, connected together and an iron sleeve (or wooden) was put around the joints. A trench was then dug by hand and the pipes or flume put in it and buried, attempting to put it below the frost line. One such string of pipes went from Buttlitt's Lick all the way to Shepherdsville, crossed the Salt River and ended at a furnace ½ mile south of the river. Another string of pipes came from Bullitt's Lick towards Pitt's Point and on to the area of the Fort Knox Reservation. The Salt Makers. Most names have been lost over the years, but some of the names recorded include the following: Colonel William Christian, owner of Bullitt's Lick. He came to Kentucky in 1785 and was killed the following year by the Indians. He had left the lick to his son, John Henry Christian. His son was under age so his mother, Anne Christian was named guardian and an agent handled the affairs for her. Moses Moore leased the lick to more than a dozen men who operated the furnaces there independently. Anne Christian died before John Henry Christian came of age and Patrick Henry was appointed his guardian. Walter Warfield was named Henry's agent. John Henry Christian died just after coming of legal age. He left 5 sisters and each received a 1/5th share. One sister had married Alexander Scott Bullitt and John Pope had married another. The Popes bought out the interest of the other sisters and later was formed Bullitt's Lick-Mann's Lick Company. General James Wilkinson was noted by historian Dr. Thomas Clark; and in 1792, four men came here - Thomas Smith, Moses Moore, Phillip Buckner and Jonathan Owsley. They operated under the name of Moses Moore and Company, leasing the Long Lick from Adam Shepherd and Henry Crist.

We likely use it every day and the doctors say we might need to cut down. The most common seasoning in the world and likely the least expensive is common salt. But in the early days of settlement of Kentucky, salt was priceless. Where we take it for granted when we pick up the shaker with the little girl with the umbrella, salt was once a priceless commodity and a necessity of daily life. Outside of Louisville, a little north of Fairdale, running south along the eastern foot of the Knobs as they are known in Kentucky, crossing Salt River, extending as far south as Bardstown Junction in Bullitt County, lies what was once called the most noted section of the state in pioneer times. It's heart was known as Bullitt's Lick - and is claim to fame was salt. Salt was used and needed for various reasons, one of the major being the preservation of their food. They salted beef, cured their pork, salted down the venison and bear meat; without the salt as a preservative, these early brave men and women would have starved to death. One could ask if it was that important, why didn't the pioneers bring it with them from their home states? There wasn't any. The Revolutionary War had cut off our source of salt. Many Virginians tried boiling down sea water; once in awhile, a ship might slip unnoticed to the shores carrying the precious cargo. But out in the wilderness of Kentucky, the need was acute. They early boiled down a little salt from the licks and salt springs - enough for maybe their personal use. When Daniel Boone was captured in 1778 by the Indians, he and his men were at the lower Blue Licks making salt for the settlers at Boonesboro. (John Bakeless, Daniel Boone, Master of the Wilderness, (New York, 1939), p. 156). In 1779, a saltworks was built at Bullitt's Lick - the first west of the Alleghenies. Bullitt's Lick was supposedly named for Thomas Bullitt, a Virginia surveyor who had first come to Kentucky in 1773 while locating and surveying lands on military warrants for officers of the French and Indian Wars. But, it is not believed he discovered or started the lick. Indian hunting grounds included the licks and trails had already been laid out by the plodding of the buffalo. But before looking at the Saltworks, we need to take another look at some of the early stations that sprang up (see my previous tips on the old forts and settlements). Brashear's Station began in the spring of 1779 when 17-18 men left another fort at the Falls of the Ohio. Isaac Froman told the story of their trip along with his father, Jacob Froman, who were members of that expedition. Following a buffalo trail, they came to Bullitt's Lick. This was a hub of many buffalo roads who came to this spot from all directions like the spokes of a wheel. They passed through the Blue Lick Gap in the Knob, turned east away from the Bullitt's Lick, followed another buffalo path that led up Salt River on the north. Just below the mouth of Floyd's Fork, the buffaloes forded the river. About 1 ¼ miles from this crossing, a fort was erected. In the historical accounts, Brasher's Stations was referred to as "Salt River Garrison" by Richard Collins. Many times in the old accounts these two were spoken of as two different locations, but it is believed they were one in the same. Jacob Froman stayed at this station a scant two years and in 1791 moved to a branch of Cox's Creek in Nelson County and built a fort not far from Rogers' Station. It is recorded that about the same time that Brashear's Statin was being built, three men, including Squire Boone (brother of Daniel), left the Falls to go hunting, William Moore and James Lee. They traveled the buffalo road to Bullitt's Lick. While there, they killed some buffalo, skinned them and prepared to return home. No saltworks was listed by them in the year 1776 when this transpired. But by November of the same year, the saltworks was listed in depositions by Colonel William Fleming. During the spring of 1780, immigrations were picking up despite the Indian attacks. The saltmakers returned near this time after a time of being idle due to Indian raids, cleaned the wells, started fires in the furnace pits and got back into operation. They built a fork on the bank of the Salt River, not far from the saltworks which was a double row of piles filed with earth and gravel from the river bank, less than ½ acre in size. It was known as the Mud Garrison. There is disagreement about the settlement date between Jillson and Collins (historians). It was about ½ mile above the mouth of Bullitt's Lick Run and down the river from where Shepherdsville now stands. Testimonies are in existence from John Burks the hunter and Worden Pope and others as to its location. Michael Teets and his wife, James Hamilton and the Millers were part of the building crew. A General James Wilkinson deposed that these people were "sharpers", a rough hardy lot, and the area a "fair hell on earth." The third station in this area was Dowdall's Station. It was also called Dowdall's Garrison, possibly erected before 1780 by settlers who were at Brashear's Station. Thomas and James Dowdall were among the first settlers here and the McGees, along with other families. This station was on the north side of Salt River about a mile below Brashear's Garrison, Jacob Myers had patented this land. It was on the upper bank of the river, was an excellent site for a ferry and the latter opened there shortly thereafter. The ferry was a God-send for the settlers as previously, travelers going from the Falls of the Ohio to Harrodsburg (after leaving Bullitt's Lick) had to go up the north side of Salt River, fording the river below the mouth of Cox's Creek, walk or ride down a buffalo path up the south side of the Salt River, ford Cox's Creek again at the mouth of Rocky Run and then go up the east fork of Cox's Creek on to Harrodsburg. Of importance at this time were the brothers Benjamin and William Pope from the Falls of the Ohio. Benjamin moved his family to Brashear's Station in 1783 and then moved on to Dowdall's. The McGees came about the same time. Patrick McGee was a hunter, a hunter for land and a saltmaker. He and Ben Pope built, in 1784, a cabin (or more) across from Dowdall's Station. Patrick McGee has a tavern there early. A little known station was called Clear's Station or Clear's Cabins. Collins said it was in Bullitt County and it was erected by George Clear before 1783. It was on Clear Run, a short distance from the crossing of the Wilderness Trail from Louisville to Bullitt's Lick - near where later stood Huber's Station on the L&N railroad. It was not a fortunate location for Clear because Isaac Hite, Robert Shanklin, David Williams, Peter Casey, Ebenezer Severns and Peter Higgins had been through this neighborhood in 1776 and put in a claim. A law suit ensued because of conflicting claims and in the end, Clear only received 28 acres out of his original 1,400. Isaac Hornbeck and his family came to Clears in 1783 and in 1784 the Shanklins came with a party including Mrs. Sodowsky and James Alexander. The next saltworks built was known s Long Lick. Long Creek is a branch of Salt River, and a short distance below Bullitt's Lick Run. Bardstown Junction is now located about 5-6 miles from its location. Everyone was trying to enter land that had salt licks. Peter Phillips, Parmeas Briscoe, Henry Spillman and John Cocky (Cockeye) Owens, John May, John Bowman, Mary Oyler, Jacob Myer, Benjamin Frye, John Friggs were just a few. After Nelson County was formed in 1784 from part of Jefferson Co, Long Lick fell in Nelson County. Down the creek from Long Lick was DryLick. The 3rd lick opened was Mann's Lick .It was located north of Bullitt's Lick, near the present side of Fairdale in Jefferson County. This lick was well known to the early settlers at the Falls of the Ohio. Other land entries made in this area included those by John Todd, James Speed, George James, Daniel Sullivan, Bracket Owens,William Garrard, James Francis Moore, Levin Powell, George Slaughter, James McCawley, John Hamilton. This lick was fortified more than most others. Since it was openly visible with the knobs on one side and swampy wetlands on the other, and danger from the Indians was constant. Fort Nonsense was located where a great buffalo road forded Salt River below the mouth of Bullitt's Lick Run. From this lick to Long Lick was a safer route from the Indian attacks. Fort Nonsense was on the north side of Salt River not far from this buffalo ford. It was on Jacob Froman's survey which joined Christian's Bullitt's Lick Tract. William Farmer also had a claim in this area within Jacob Froman's entry which included Fort Nonsense. Collins mentions this fort but little is known about it. Jonathan Irons, who was a salt maker from Bullitt's Lick, acquired some land on the opposite side of the river and this marked the beginning of Irons' Lick. It was on the south side of the river right across from Fort Nonsense. Jonathan Irons met an unfortunate death, not from the Indian attacks but because of long drinking sprees. The buffalo crossing her was later known as Irons''Crossing and Fort Nonsense became Irons' saltworks. The Parakeet Lick was located about a ½ mile above Shepherdsville on the north bank of the Salt River. Originally known as McGees' Lick, it was later known as Parakeet Lick for the large flocks of wild parakeets that stayed in this area. James Burks discovered salt water here and leased some land from McGee. The salt here was not abundant and not of top quality. But in 1802 and 1803, the scarcity of salt made it worth working and John Dunn formed a partnership with James Burks and produced salt here. James Alexander and John McDowell were also saltmakers here. To be concluded next week with a look at salt making. (c) Copyright 23 August 2001, Sandra K. Gorin.

Now that I have your attention! What I'm going to share with you is not an original idea of mine, although I did think of it many years ago and guess others had the same light bulb go off over their head too! But, my approach is a tad different from others due to my police computer background. In computers (back in the dark ages), we had to make flowcharts of how we expected the computer to process the input data we were feeding it, what to do with that data, what conditions to test for and then finish up at the now famous 999 which worried everyone during the end of 1999! I was taught from the very first day ... use LOGIC! As an employee of two different police departments, working with stolen cars and the detective lab in addition to other duties, I learned to look for information in non-obvious places. Every little clue was recorded, nothing was too small to be ignored. Then, in the computer field, logic played a vital roll. When I embarked into genealogy (now as a full time career), I tried to remember some of the things I had learned before. I'm sure you've thought of one of these already, maybe the second technique will be new to you. THE CLOCK WATCHERS: I'm sure everyone knows what a clock watcher is ... ah, I remember the years. Is it lunch time? It is time to go home? Is it time to get the children up for school or home from school? We're all terribly and often painfully aware of time and please note, the older you get, the faster it goes! I have always been intrigued with knowing as much about my ancestors as I could. On one of my daughter's ggg (several times over), I realized that I knew what he did almost every day of his life. I had discovered so many interesting things about him by just reading the documents a little closer. So this encouraged me to "clock watch" or what is better called - make a time line. Now, all the time lines I have seen are nice and they usually are in 10 year segments, or if you feel so motivated, can be purchased from various companies. This is really great, but I did it the hard way (and still do!), I go year by year. I simply start at my earliest reference to the individual, make the left hand column the year, the middle column the who and the 3rd column the event. If I have two gentlemen with the same name (or close enough) and I'm not sure I'm tracking the correct one - by running a time line, I might just discover which one to eliminate.. I have also used this when I wanted to find out when a family split up and moved. As an example, I have 3 main Gorin lines - John, Henry and Gladin. They traveled so much together that I made a column for all 3 of them and was easily able to see when they parted company. By doing it on a year by year basis, it gives me a more accurate picture than a 10-year time frame. A lot can happen in 10 years! Below is shown a simple time line the way I do it: (leaving many years out) 1763 John Gorin Born Fairfax Co VA 1791 John Gorin Tax rolls Fayette Co KY 1791 John Gorham Tax rolls Fayette Co KY 1798 John Gorin Moves to Barren Co KY 1799 John Gorham Leaves will in Versailles, IN Oops .... he went that-away ... goodbye John Gorham! I might run it a few more years to be sure he didn't just make a fast dash up there for a friend and become ill, but it appears now that Mr. Gorham has rolled off the pages of our family tree! THE BACK FENCE SNOOP! I don't know if you grew up in the same era as I (and I'm not telling what era that is!), or in a small town as I did. But the favorite gossip spot was over the back yard fence, normally as the neighbor ladies hung out their laundry. These dear ladies didn't miss a beat; they knew who was dating who, what time the neighbors got home, who had come "a callin" .... it was the older generation's version of the internet and chat lines! So, we come to the current time. A simple question for you. Have you ever had a problem of finding your ancestor's name in the index except as a reference to someone else? No flowery biography in a vanity or mug book, no newspaper column extolling the virtues of your great grandfather upon his death; no funeral home records, the stone at the cemetery stone has been stolen? Or the census taker dropped cigar ashes over his name in the census or that was the page that was out of focus or black? I think we all have relatives like that. We can pick up their name but they weren't doing anything on their own - they seemed to have just been passing by. Why not try something? Since you can't find out much about him/her except in other references, let's find out something about his friends and neighbors. In the process, we might find out some interesting things about our ancestor. Let's take a look at Kermit P. Kiddlehopper. Where to begin? Make an index of people's names associated with good old Kermit over the years. Example: We're trying to find where our Kermit came from; his mother's maiden name and any other goodie we can find! Friend/Neighbor? Date Event Joe Jumpinghorse 5 Mar 1840 Kermit a witnesses a deed in Garrard Co. Patrick Perkingcup 7 July 1841 Kermit a power of attorney in Loudon Co VA. Susan Anyperson 10 Jan 1845 Kermit the next best friend in lawsuit, Garrard Co. Joe Jumpinghorse family 1850 census 5 "houses" away from Kermit, born VA Charles Chewinggum 1850 census 10 houses away from Kermit, born TN Peter Potatohead 17 May 1851 Writes will, names property line as Kermit. Joe Jumpinghorse 6 Jan 1860 Kermit marries his daughter Jasmine. Etc. etc. After building this name index for a while, certain names possibly will reoccur. In the brief example above, we see Joe Jumpinghorse was from VA. Patrick Perkingcup was from Loudon Co VA and hires Kermit to be his power of attorney to transact some business there. Why? Possibly a settlement of an estate or something? Later he marries Jasmine Jumpinghorse, daughter of James Jumpinghorse. Wonder if the Jumpinghorses were from Loudon Co too? Kermit was born VA .... the plot thickens. Kermit's middle initial is P. and the . Hmmm. Patrick Perkingcup is from Loudon Co ... wonder if Kermit's mother was a Perkingcup. Think I'll look at Loudon Co marriages. Yes, Preston Perkingcup married Elizabeth Everybody there. .... I think you get the picture. Sometimes it is the most illusive of clues that can help us reach a determination. You will have to prove it of course, but this is a good start. It is recommended that when copying a census record, you also keep the names of the families 10 houses above and below your name. When men's children reached marrying age, they often divided up their acreage between their married children. Relatives often settled close to each other, went to the same church, witnessed each other's deeds and wills. I can't guarantee that you'll find all your questions answered this way, but this is one more approach at finding a little clue. If nothing else, you will know more about whom your family knew - their friends and neighbors. You can start eliminating those whose name only appears once or twice and can eliminate individuals with the same name as your ancestor but who was in the wrong place at the right time! Next week we'll return to the National Register sites. (c) Copyright 9 August 2001, Sandra K.

TIP #350, KENTUCKY GOVERNORS - PART 1 While just a list of the Governors who have served Kentucky sounds rather boring ... I have learned to included extra information in my family histories. In addition to names, dates, burial places and basic genealogical information; I include little snippets of what was going on in the country while my ancestors lived, or people who were of importance.

In an early post I described the prisoner of war camps during the Civil War. Many people wrote and asked if I had a list of the soldiers detained there. For the new several posts, I will be listing the Kentucky soldiers who died at Andersonville. Credit goes to several sources included the National Park Service. Shows name, Rank, Oufit, where died, grave #. All are buried in the National Cemetery. Adams, John D, Pvt, KY Cav, grave 3385 Adams, Jacob L, Pvt, 27 KY Infantry Co G grave11759.

Please forgive the intrusion. This is going to sound like I am patting myself on the back, but since I'm the only one who can post to this list ... there's no other way to do it. Bill Utterback, an outstanding researcher and friend has asked me to forward this to you. The rest is up to you and again ... sorry! Sandi >From: Bill Utterback <billco@ARN.NET> >Last year, when I was fortunate enough to receive the Kentucky Genealogical >Society's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Genealogy for the Western >Region of Kentucky, I responded to a message on this List about my >selection, posted by our List Host, Sandi Gorin, in which I said that I >would be in touch with all of you again in 2001 when the KGS opened >nominations for the awards for that year. That time has now arrived. > >I have this week nominated Sandi Gorin to receive the 2001 Award for the >Central Region of Kentucky. I need not recount here the reasons why she >should have received this Award long ago. Her tireless work, covering >thousands of hours over the past 6 years on the Internet - and many years >before that in other genealogical venues - have enriched all of us. Her >data posts, the bios and research tips, her editing work on genealogical >newsletters and her column in a local newspaper - all of these - and much >more - make her the ideal candidate for this Award. > >The nomination alone, however, will not secure the Award for Sandi. >Letters of support for her nomination are also needed. I hope - and I'm >confident - that the subscribers to this List - and to the other Lists >which she hosts - will respond to this request for such support material by >the hundreds, and will flood the KGS with these letters of support. > >The approach needs to be twofold: a snail mail letter of support should be >sent to the following address: > >Kentucky Genealogical Society >P.O.Box 153 >Frankfort, KY 40602-0153 > >This letter must be postmarked no later than *15 July* to be considered. > >Simultaneously(in addition to, but not in place of, the snail mail letter), >I would also suggest that an e-mail be sent to the President of the KGS, Al >Alfaro, with the same message of support. His e-mail address is: > >AAlfaro99@aol.com > >Let's all pull together and do this for Sandi - she has done so much for us >over these years. > >If there are questions, you can e-mail me privately and I will be happy to >respond. > > -Bill Utterback >============================================================================ >== > > >==== SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY Mailing List ==== > > >
