TIP#205 - MEMORIES - PART 1: As we approach the Christmas season, I would like again to publish something that is not genealogical, but a part of our past. Recently on one of the lists that I moderate, people began just remembering their childhood days. Coming from a diverse background, these were so interesting that it doesn't matter if the individual was Kentucky born or not. This is our past - what makes us what we are. Let me share some of these memories with you! I've removed the names from these as it could apply to many of us. AMUSEMENTS: · Television was not only unheard of, you were doing good if one out five had a Dome Top Radio. To this day, Glenn Miller music is among my favorite. · The hit parade? Giselle McKenzie. Dorothy somebody? "Lady of Spain", "What's Behind the Green Door?" "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" I loved to sit by the radio and listen to many of the radio programs - Just Plain Bill, Stella Dallas, Portia Faces Life, and several other radio soaps of the day. I also loved to listen to the Philharmonic Orchestra on Sunday afternoons. · One of my uncles played for dances when he was 9 or 10. They never took lessons, just picked up any instrument and played it. What a honky-tonk piano my grandmother and aunts played. Several of my uncles were in the band behind Tex Ritter in the movies. They knew "Dutch" Reagan and many of the people on the Grand Old Opry. Played with Flatt and Scruggs. Also played on WHO in Des Moines. My grandfather stomped his foot so hard, in time to the music, that they had to put a pillow under his foot so it wouldn't be heard over the radio! I still love that country music! · I remember being entertained in the evening by my other brother making animal shadows on the wall. He made the GREATEST animals in shadow. · I had one uncle who was always telling ghosts stories. · My sister and I used to play dress up and pretend we were movie stars. She was always Betty Grabel and I was Deanna Durbin. I can remember when Frank Sinatra first started singing and it was a battle to see who was more popular, Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby. The big bands had wonderful music. My favorites were Tommy Dorsey and Xavier Cugat. · Beaded dresses from the 20's, Shirley Temple dolls, every Little Golden Book, china tea sets, real silk parachutes, dotted Swiss curtains that I could tie around my head and run down the sidewalk, pretending that I was The Running Bride. · I have memories of my grandmother and the girls would getting dressed up, in perfume and hats and gloves and suede pumps, and ride the streetcars downtown to go to live radio broadcasts: Bob Hope, Amos n' Andy, Bing Crosby...I remember being disappointed that it wasn't real thunder you that heard when you listened to the radio at home: I found out that they shook a metal sheet in front of a microphone. I imagined that they were telling stories on someone's back porch during a real storm! CLOTHING: · In winter we had to wear those ugly long brown stocking in that somehow attached to our winter underwear. · I wore feed sack shirts and dresses and even underwear for years. Ours was chicken feed sacks but my mother has been saying those weren't chicken feed sacks--they were flour sacks. I liked those feed sack patterns. The flowers and the colors were really pretty. · Didn't everyone's grandmother have a scrap-bag? Where else would you get your material to crochet rag rugs from and well as make your quilts? New material would be much too dear for rugs & quilts. And of course feed sacks were important. It was awful not being able to get them in later years & having to settle for that unbleached muslin/cotton at the 5 & 10. I used them to learn to embroider kittens on dish towels, one for each day of the week of course! DISEASES & ILLNESSES: · What did they call those awful bags the kids had to wear around their necks to ward off germs? To break a fever, my dad used to hold me under the covers until I broke a sweat. Remember when every July and August you couldn't go swimming for fear of getting polio? And the diseases that are no longer...mumps & German measles & smallpox. And when you had a baby you had to be in bed for 10 days! · Coal oil for every injury too. Syrup of black draught or calsodine tablets. Cod liver oil. Giving the babies paregoric... full of OPIUM!!! · Mom went to the old Doc ( I still think he was the town drunk). He told my Mom to make a certain tea to give my brother and she did. Guess what kind of tea??? Chicken droppings in hot water! FARM LIFE: · Killing chickens. I also remember the awful stench of burnt chicken feathers, after my grandmother had chopped off the rooster's neck. I use to help mama pluck the chickens, dip them in a boiling tub of hot water set up outside and flat out CRIED the whole time I had to do it! Had one rooster get my brother on the chin with his spur....needless to say...that one became a meal shortly thereafter...and I have school photos of him with the sore on his chin from that rooster! · Hand and one row corn pickers. We still own a one row corn picker and used it up until 3 years ago. · I still remember going to the barn with my grandfather when he milked the cow. Sometimes he and I would go pick blackberries. We were doing that one hot day, when something was gleaming in the warm sun. My grandfather dug it out of the ground and wiped the dirt away. It was an old whiskey bottle, with the picture of a beautiful clipper ship on it. I loved it so much, he gave it to me. I couldn't wait to get back and show everyone, my treasure. · My father and those like him that I knew growing up had gardens they burned off every year...even today you'll hear that ashes are a "fertilizer" of sorts. · Both my grandfathers always planted large vegetable gardens, so I grew up helping to pick beans, peas, corn, okra, tomatoes, etc. and to help with the canning and preserving that took place each summer. FOOD AND MEAL TIME! · Apple dumplings: The apple quarters were put inside rolled dough and they were boiled in sugar water and served with cream. · "Butter" came so white it looked liked a hunk of LARD, with a small packet of food color [yellow/orange]? · When you could get a BIG SWEET 'TATER' from the market man for a link of chain, that is on the days he and his horse and wagon came down the main streets of towns. · Staying up till midnight and making the best divinity, fudge, popcorn balls, and the like. · Breakfast: Country Ham (going out to smokehouse to get one down and wipe the mold off), Country Eggs (going to hen house in the am to gather) (fried up and put on a platter), Fresh Milk (got to milk cow first thing), Hot Homemade Biscuits (with real butter that I churned tonight), Homemade Jellies and Jams (grape, apple, peach, musidime, fried Tators (of course they are stored in the cellar for the winter), Flap jacks (homemade of course), Sorgum Molasse(made in our sorghum mill), Fresh Apple Cider (from our cider mill), fresh ground sausage ( we killed hogs yesterday), Scrambled eggs with the fresh brains of the hog we killed yesterday. Fried chicken (yes for breakfast also, will ring necks in the am and get ready) · Fresh leaf lettuce chopped up with green onions chopped up and wilt with hot bacon grease along with fried cornbread. My dad poured hot bacon grease over chopped up green onions and soaked his flat, unsweetened cornbread in buttermilk! He thought that was the best. My grandmother made the best biscuits in the world...and apple pies. She always had a pot of beans on the back burner, but the fried potatoes were crispy on the bottom and crunchy (not quite done) on the top! Green beans were cooked until they were just almost falling apart, with ham hocks. And her apple butter was the best! · The foods Mother made were the greatest. She made hominy from home grown corn and cottage cheese from our cow's milk. I still love black eye peas and cornbread better than anything---especially with chow chow on top. Nothing wrong with navy beans or pinto either. She also made hominy from home grown corn and cottage cheese from our cow's milk. Gravy went on anything from sliced tomatoes to fried eggs. It was a "universal topping" in our house. Daddy used to pour hot bacon grease over his green salad in summertime. I thought I should try drinking my milk through the "straw" of a green onion top. It didn't work too well. I only remember apples or oranges at Christmas (in TX) and also ribbon candy. · My grandfather used to eat the brains out of fried squirrel heads!!! We has to taste pig brains. I also wouldn't eat tongue. · Home-made ice cream with raw eggs in it, as well as raw cookie dough and cake batter. And not too many years ago we used to drink from any running stream that LOOKED clean. · Whole milk, with the cream on top .Red apples that tasted the way an apple · Although not a real "farmer"...dad always had a garden...mama canned...they even killed hogs...I remember them squealing and just bawling over it! I remember the taste of hog's head cheese. I remember eating pork chops from the ones he killed, sitting at the table and daddy "squealing" every time I took a bite - set me to bawling all over again..and I wouldn't eat my supper...many times mama had to smack him and say..."Let the child eat her supper and hush!" · I remember CHITLINS!!! Cleaned and "rendered" hog intestines...believe what they say about them....it'll drive you out of the house when they're cooking. Ate many a chitin in cornbread. Believe it or not...but pigs feet when preserved (pickled) are a treat to behold. · Grandmother Sally still cooks for anyone that comes to see her. Our favorite is breakfast she always cooks us Choclate Syrup and Biscuits To be continued. (c) Copyright 10 December 1998, Sandra K.

TIP #202 - NON-RESIDENT LANDS, PATROLLERS AND TAXES. There were specific Kentucky laws governing land which was owned by people who were not residents of the state. The first legislation was enacted December 21, 1779 which included the following stipulations: 1 - The State Auditor was to keep a book for the purpose of receiving and entering lands of non-residents. The following had to be adhered to. a. Each tract was to be placed in its proper class b. To be recorded in the county where it was situated c. Non-residents had to follow the Kentucky regulations. d. All taxes, when due, with any interest, to be paid to the State Treasurer e. Any taxes not paid within the prescribed time limit were allowed, by the State Auditor To be put up for sale on the 3rd Monday of November each year, or they could be sold By the Sheriff of the appropriate county. f. Transfers in ownership were to be recorded by the Auditor. 2 - The County Sheriff, after receiving taxes and interest from residents or non-residents, accounted for each sum, had to be bonded, was liable for any damages and costs of any court cases involving the land. 3 - Any person (infants and those non compos mentis excepted) who claimed lands in the State of Kentucky, who failed to list that land for taxation, forfeited his claim on the land. There were a few legal exceptions to this. If, within two years, the individual paid his taxes and the land was still available, he could pay the back taxes and render an account to the Auditor. On December 223rd, 1802 a law was passed which stated that when a person purchased land of non-residents which had been sold for taxes, he had to take from the register of the land office, a certificate of this purchase, noting that the taxes and interests had been paid. The certificate was presented to the State Treasurer and the monies paid. If the purchaser failed to do this, or refused to do so, he forfeited the land and had to pay fifty per cent on the amount of the tax and any costs. If the land of a non-resident had been classified incorrectly, or listed twice accidentally, satisfactory proof had to be made to the State Auditor of same. If proven by the Auditor to be incorrect, the auditor was allowed to pay the owner back for any overpaid taxes. (Land was classified as first, second, or third class land with first class being the best. Each had it's own tax valuation). PATROLLERS. The use of patrollers began with an act passed by the Kentucky State Legislature on the 29th of November 1799. The county courts were ordered to lay off their counties into as many districts as they thought necessary. In each district, a company of patrollers was to be appointed who were to serve for a one-year term. The Caption of the Patrollers was a "discreet person", he could enlist as many patrollers in his district as he felt he needed, not to exceed four. They took an oath and were sworn in. The patrollers were to serve as many hours each month as the court of that county directed; not less than 12 hours a month. Their duties included: 1 - Visit Negro quarters and other suspected places of unlawful assemblies of slaves. If they found a slave out wandering around, going from one plantation to another without the permission of his owner, he could be taken before a local Magistrate and receive no more than 39 lashes. 2 - Other duties as needed. The captain was paid 4 shillings for every 12 hours on patrol; assistant patrollers received 3 shillings for every 12 hours - to be taken out of the county levy. TAXES: It was the duty of the Sheriff to collect taxes each year. In the year 1816, the rate was 6 and ¼ cents for every hundred dollars valuation. Non-resident lands were taxed at the same rate. For his services, the Sheriff was paid 7 ½ % of the revenue collected. Indirect taxes were also charged which included those on a covering horse (stallion), taverns (ten dollars), Jackasses, Pedlars ($20) and Billiard tables ($500.00.). © Copyright 24 November 1998, Sandra K.

TIP#200: WHAT'S FOR SUPPER? In the age of fast food restaurants, microwaves and frozen dinners, it is hard to realize what the pioneer life was like around the dinner table in pioneer times! Even though it will make me, and many of the readers, appear to be ancient, there are some of us who were born before any of the above-listed. And, going back even further; there was a much simpler life before that! I didn't say easier, just simpler perhaps? Kentuckians, as all of our early pioneers, followed a long tradition of hunting their own game, preparing it, preserving it and eating it. Mothers worked the gardens to grow their own vegetables; families milked their own cows, gathered their own eggs with nary a fast trip down to the corner market in horse and buggy to satisfy the age-old question "What's for supper, Mom?" Town markets did start up in the early 1800's where the farmer could bring in goods and produce for sale, but "in the beginning" if you couldn't grow it, milk it, harvest it, you didn't eat it! If we remember our history classes, a lot of our eating traditions date back, in America, to the Native Americans. They were already quite the pros in growing corn, pumpkins, beans, squash and herbs. The settler, once discovering these sources of food, soon learned how to add it into their diets. One product - corn - became the staple because of the many ways it could be eaten - it could be roasted, baked, parched and pickled. It was the main ingredient for bread and was sadly found to be a main ingredient in whiskey! It is no surprise that in the early land laws, a pioneer was supposed to go live upon a piece of land and show that he had improved it to show that he lived there and planned on making it his permanent residence - and the improvement might be simple 2-3 corn plants! Corn meal became the staple of most pioneer homes. With corn meal the pioneer cook could create such delicacies as ash cake, corn pone, corn bread, griddle cakes - a feast for the weary pioneers! Johnny-cakes were a favorite and were made in a skillet . It was baked over an open fire on one side and then flipped over to cook the other side. Ash cakes were another favorite staple. This was made by wrapping the dough in fresh corn shucks or vegetable leaves and placing the whole thing right on the hearth. This was covered with ashes and cooked until done. But alas, the pioneer mother had little in the way of fancy cooking utensils! Spiders were common; not the creepy crawly kind, but skillets which stood on long legs. They had griddles, stew pots, wooden utensils and if lucky, some pewter plates. Often the father carved out the eating utensils himself as it was extremely difficult for the settler to buy or transport to the wilderness called Kentucky, the fancy plates, glasses and silverware we think are so common place. Until the pioneer was a monied individual, they made it themselves. The diet of the early Kentuckian settler included what could be grown in their gardens, gardens hacked and hoed and dug out of the sometimes rocky soil. Some of the most popular vegetables were turnips, cowpeas and sweet potatoes. Herbs were grown - not for spicing up a bland diet - but for medicinal purposes. Ham, now known as delicious "country hams" were an early staple and still is a favorite. Early hogs in Kentucky were not the cute little "Porky Pig" varieties, but wild fearsome creatures! Cattle were kept by some of the early farmers and chickens, geese and ducks. The husband supplemented the meat supply with wild game which flourished all over the state. The farmer's gun was his most valuable asset! Another blessing for the early settler was the abundance of salt in the area. Kentucky has many salt springs, and the salt was boiled down right at the place where it was found to turn it into the salt crystals we are familiar with. It was not an easy job, it could be dangerous, to prepare salt. But it was something that the settlers needed not only for flavoring but for preserving the meat. Once the settler had a good supply of salt, they preserved their hams and bacon and beef. With the addition of butter, cream and eggs from the cattle and chickens, our pioneer settlers had a fairly good diet. Nothing was wasted either. Hocks and bacon fat were added to the vegetable dishes for flavor. Later tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, peas and cucumbers were added to the diet. And nothing was more fun than the children going out to harvest the abundance of fruits which grew in Kentucky - cherries, peaches, apples, pears, plums and strawberries. The wife dried many of the fruits for eating in the long, cold Kentucky winters. When the influx of settlers from Europe began moving into Kentucky, they introduced favorite foods from their native lands. Soon the Scotch, Irish, English and German foods worked their way into the diets, especially in the larger cities. Different ways of preparing the foods were learned - roasting, frying, pickling. Soon some of our forebearers were enjoying sauerkraut, soups and other of the "finer" foods. How did the pioneer woman manage to turn out good meals with so little in the way of utensils? They improvised! Fires were definitely a problem (in a wooden cabin) due to the utensil the lady of the house cooked with. It was a long time before cooking pots were glazed, so the substance inside the pot came through the pores on the outside. It that being cooked was fatty, the fat and grease got over everything and often caught fire itself. Skillet cooking was done on the hearth with the woman constantly bending, stirring and checking before the open fire. I imagine many of pioneer lady got singed once in a while! Sometimes sparks from the open fire caught things on fire, including children's clothing as they played nearby. But, all in all, the pioneer diet was most likely the most healthy of all. No artificial preservatives, no heavy doses of sugar …. we could take a lesson couldn't we? © Copyright 17 November 1998, Sandra K.

Now, it's early in the morning and I've been reading a lot of mail, but it appears that webtv management has unblocked rootsweb so our webtv subbers can get mail from us again. I have been told they were overrun with complaints (including one from me). What this means is that hopefully, I won't lose anymore of you! Thanks for your help and understanding, I don't know how many got kicked off - but thank you for your help. Again - the e-mail addresses I listed were NOT spammers - they were the ones who had been kicked off by webtv or were in danger of being kicked off. A couple asked me exactly what spam is. Spam is junk mail that is sent to everyone on a particular list. There are many companies who hack their way into a mailing list or server, and send out thousands of junk e-mails advertising everything from get rich schemes to porno ads. It is not only disgusting to the readers, but puts a strain on rootsweb with thousands upon thousands of these going out at the same time. Rootsweb added a very swift computer "detective" that sniffs out possible spam e-mails. The list owners are sent a copy of the spam with the notice that a certain msg appears to be spam and lets us, as listowners, make a decision as to whether it is or not. We can release or forward the e-mail in question or trash it. Rootsweb so far has been running a 100% record. IF something gets through rootsweb, I have blocked it by "closing" my lists. This means that only subscribers can post to these lists. So if someone sends out a blind ad to SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY and is not a subber, the msg comes to me and I just trash it. The only way a spam can get thru is for these companies/individuals to subscribe to the list - send out a "bulk mailing" and then unsub. This has happened - it's hard to determine if every subber is legit. If the latter happens, I of course will see it, and there is a way I can go into the utility program set up for each of our lists and do a global ban. By putting that e-mail address on a reject list - nothing they send through will can get to you, the readers. Once in awhile we have to sub some of you manually. Yahoo-com is considered a spammer by rootsweb. It was a hard decision I am sure but a tremendous amount of junk mail or spam comes from yahoo. So - if a yahoo user sends in a sub notice, it is bounced. I catch it, I am able to manually subscribe that individual. It doesn't mean that the yahoo user trying to sub is a spammer! Pacbell is having massive problems and all of us are getting a LOT of bounces from messages sent thru them. Still working on that one - out of my control right now. Occasionally attworldnet has problems ... they all have their moments! Thanks for your help and comments and I'll try to contact anyone I might have lost along the line. This ends Spam 101 and I'm going to have some coffee and try to wake up a little more. Have a wonderful weekend!

I just received notice that the ISP webtv has hired some professionals to help them eliminate spam. Well, since rootsweb is high volume - rootsweb is now considered spam. Below is a list of subbers to this list who are with webtv. If you are still getting msgs and are on webtv, write me so I can hold on to your name. If you aren't but have a friend below who is, would you drop them a line to let them know what's happening. Webtv is not returning calls at the present time. Let me assure you that rootsweb does NOT spam - they have a very sophistical anti-spam program and anything that sneaks through is sent to me because I have closed the lists - I get the spam but you don't. Thanks and I'm sorry - complain to them if you are a subber!

TIP #198 - BATTLES, DUELS, PANICS AND SKIRMISHES In this tip, I will begin covering some of the difficult times during the history of Kentucky. BLACK PATCH WAR: This "war" began due to the low prices being paid to tobacco farmers in the tobacco fields of western Kentucky and Tennessee in 1904. The prices had become depressed and the American Tobacco Company held pretty well a monolopy. The Planter's Protective Association was formed, giving farmers a place to turn for help and a sense of leadership. More than 5,000 farmers participated in the creation of this organization and by 1906, there were more than 25,000 farmers represented. The American Tobacco Company began paying higher prices to growers who refused to join the Planters group. Violence erupted in the Night Riders time frame when vigilantes on horseback rode into the tobacco fields and destroyed the plant beds, machinery and barns; with occasional murders occurring. The Planters group went out of existence in 1914. BLOODY MONDAY: Riots erupted in Louisville on 6 August 1855 due to anti-foreigner and anti-Catholic prejudice. At least 20 people were killed before quelled. Involved was a distrust of the German and Irish immigrants; the Whig party had been done away and there was increasing unrest over the slavery issue. Over 11,000 of the 36,000 plus citizens of Louisville had become immigrants from these two company and many of them were Catholic. The unrest started because most of the immigrants soon became Democrats while the Whig party floundered and its members split into the Know-Nothings. Between 1854 and 1855, there had been a few incidents resulting in violence and was brought to a head in May of 1855. The Louisville Daily Democrat appears to have played an active role due to its editorials. The rioting began, according to the Kentucky Encyclopedia on the east of the downtown Louisville area where most of the German immigrants lived. Mobs, consisting mainly of Know-Nothings ran through the streets, destroying shops, taverns and homes, beat up every one on the street, and set fires on Shelby Street. Gunfire rang out and the William Armbruster Brewery was burned. The mobs then proceeded into the Irish area, west of the downtown area, and began setting fires and beating residences. Fireman were warned not to try to put out the fires. The rioting continued for several days. DESHA-KIMBROUGH DUEL: This was fount on 26 Mar 1866 on a dueling ground along the Scott and Fayette Co line near the town of Donerail. It was supposedly among the last duels with the participants being Alexander Kimbrough and Joseph Deska, both natives of Harrison Co and Desha was the grandson of the Governor Desha. It is thought that the duel was flared because of ill-feelings between the two men; some have hinted at political causes. Desha was in the Confederate Army; Kimbrough in the Union army. The two had met in February and Desha was offended with Kimbrogh refused to accept his handshake. Kimbrough's second was William Long, a former major in the Union Army; Desha's second was his cousin Hervey McDowell - a former Colonel in the Confederate Army. The first shots rang out and both missed. In the second volley Desha wounded Kimbrough in the hop. Both men had to flee to Canada in order not to be imprisoned for the duel. Governor James McCreary, 1875, pardoned both men. Kimbrough went to Texas and later Arizona and then Los Angeles, CA. He died at Leavenworth, KS on 22 August 1921 at a home for disabled soldiers, buried in the Battle Grove Cemetery in Cynthiana,KY. Desha turned into a cattleman in Harrison Co and died in Cynthiana 8 May 1902 - ironically buried in the same cemetery. EVARTS, BATTLE OF: This event occurred in February of 1931. The Harlan County coal operators and operators cut wages for their employees causing even more of a depression in the area. It resulted in a United Mine Workers drive with over 2,000 in attendance. This rally was held in Pineville. Black Mountain Coal Corporation fired many employees (as did others) and forced their former employees from the company housing. Miners, forced into poverty, often turned to looting to provide food for their families. On the 5th of May, three cars passed through Evarts escorting a miner who was not a union employee to the Black Mountain mine. He was ambushed by up to 300 miners who were in hiding. Carl Richmond and his three deputies, Jim Danies, Otto Lee and Howard Jones were killed - all miners. The Governor, Flem D. Sampson sent out the National Guard. The strike continued spreading and reached Bell County. By the middle of June the strike collapsed. Several miners were arrested - union president William Hightower and UMN secretary William B. Jones included. JACKSON-DICKINSON DUEL: This famous duel took place on May 30, 1806 between Andrew Jackson (later president of the United States) and Charles Dickinson. Jackson killed Dickinson over Dickinson's snide remarks about Jackson's wife, Rachel. She had been previously married to Lewis Robards. It appears that when Andrew and Rachel married, her divorce was not yet final. The two men met in Nashville, TN and agreed to duel in Logan County on the bank of the Red River. Dickinson was staying at William Harrison's home. Dickinson fired first at Jackson and missed. Jackson fired, but the gun jammed. Since this was not considered a legal shot, he was allowed to fire again and fatally wounded Dickinson who died that night at the Harrison home. Jackson was wounded. PANIC OF 1819. This was a time of economy depression. With the re-establishing of foreign trade at the conclusion of the War of 1812, the now unnecessary need for war materials, Kentucky was thrown into economic chaos. The only profitable goods for a time were crops due to an extended famine in Europe. But, my 1818, it was all down-hill. In 1816, the Bank of the United States, the second one, had been chartered. It allowed for branches throughout the nation and it was expected that they would be accepted. When the foreign trade flow became unfavorable, payments of enormous amount fell due on our debt broad. In July 1818, the bank called on all its branches to curtain discounts and then discontinued the policy of interchanging notes among the offices. Many businesses failed, unemployment rose rapidly. This led to the controversy called the Old Court- New Court controversy. It was not until the 1820's that the financial situation eased. REGULATOR UPRISING. After the Civil War, Kentucky became a place of lawlessness with vigilantees roaming the land. The "Regulators" ruled. An uprising began in Elliott Co in 1877 after outlaws burned part of Sandy Hook - the county seat. Attacks on women were waged in 1879 and the citizens of Elliott County decided to take care of the Regulators themselves. "Judge Lynch" told the people that lawlessness would not be tolerated. On the 20th of October 1879, 200 Regulators, armed completely, dragged two supposed outlaws from the jail and hung them. This started a time of terror against all lawbreakers in the area. Men who rode on horseback and were masked road the countryside and drove the lawless out of the area. By the spring of 1880 the movement widened to include the counties of Morgan, Rowan, Carter, Boyd and Lawrence. Judge James E. Stewart, 16th judicial district, although threatened with bodily harm, stated that he was holding the line. He contacted Governor Luke P. Blackburn, asking for state troops to assist. He promised clemency for the Regulators who surrendered. On 28 May 1880, 200 Lawrence and Carter County Regulators surrendered. By 1881, the Elliott and Morgan County Regulators had disbanded. SHANKS/SKAGGS/SKEGGS FAMILY MASSACARE. Although I have covered Indian raids in another tip, this massacre in 1787/1788 was not included. Indians, a small party, attacked the cabin of Catherine Shanks, a widow, with her family at Cooper's Run in Bourbon County. It has been noted that this name has also been shown through the years as Scraggs, Skaggs or Skeggs. Catherine, her two daughters and son were killed; one daughter kidnapped. The eldest son and two daughters (one with a baby in her arms), escaped and hid in the woods. One Indian was killed. Neighbors later investigated and 30 men, led by Colonel John Edwards, pursued the Indians killing one and wounding another. However, the Indians had already killed their captive. © Copyright 10 November 1998, Sandra K.

TIP #197 - FREEMASONRY IN KENTUCKY This is the oldest and largest fraternity in the world, going back to the stonemasons of Europe. Members, called Masons, do not solicit members, and members must express a belief in God and a future state. They are thoroughly examined before being allowed to join; once a member, any talk of religion and politics is prohibited. Freemasonary was constituted in 1717 with the Grand Lodge of England. Lodges were developed in Virginia after the Revolutionary War in 1778. In Kentucky, on 17 November 1778, this former organization granted a charter to Richard Clough Anderson (master). Another to John Fowler, Green Clay and others in the Lexington Kentucky Lodge No. 25. Shortley thereafter there were lodges established in Paris, Frankfort, Shelbyville and Georgetown. The Grand Lodge of Kentucky was organized with William Murry as grandmaster 16 October 1800. >From the very beginning, there was strong anti-Masonic feeling. Because of the actions of those against Freemasonry, Kentucky membership was noted to have dropped from 18,00 in 55 lodges to approximately 1,300 in thirty-seven from 1820 to 1830. By 1961 there was a membership of 100,675 in 470 lodges in Kentucky. It is also noted that the Masons took no sides in the Civil War as this was a political matter. They tried to continue throughout the Civil War although bands of guerillas often disturbed them. Soldiers from both sides included the following Masons: Robert Anderson, Thomas E. Bramlette, John C. Breckinridge, Simon B. Buckner, Cassius M. Clay, the Crittenden men, James Guthrie, George W. Johnson, Albert Sydney Johnston, John Hunt Morgan, George D. Prentice, Beriah Magoffin, James F. Robinson, Frank Wolford. (KY Encyclopedia, p. 358., published 1992). A Masonic and Widow's Home was established in 1867 at St. Matthews and the Old Masons' Home at Shelbyville. I will not enter into an explanation of the Masons and their lodges here, but want to list the names shown in Collins' History of Kentucky involved in the earlier years.

As a break from serious research, here is another in the series of old-time occupations of our ancestors. Please remember to check out the past 195 tips on the KYRESEARCH message board shown in the URL in my signature line. And, remember to go out and vote today! Sandi TIP #196 - GRANDPA WAS A POTTER My dearest friend's daughter is a wonderful potter and I have seen many of her creations and purchased a few along the way. This is a fascinating occupation and an extremely old one. Pottery was brought to America as early as 1635 when Philip Drinker worked in Massachusetts. Almost every village soon had a "pot house", a one-man operation and kilns dotted the countryside. American pottery in early America was normally called "redware" and was shaped from ordinary brick clay which took its color from its iron oxide content. The colors limited the finished product; pots ranged from a pink to a bright red; but the clay was too soft and porous. The clay used by the potter is originally leached from rocks, has very fine particles and due to its adhesive nature, stick together and more easily moldable. Most clay has varied colors in from impurities - white, red, yellow, tan and blue. The old time potter dug his own clay with his bare hands and sifted out rocks, pebbles, leaves and what other debris might be found in it. The better he did in sifting, the better the finished product. After cleaning the clay it was mixed in a pug mill. To keep the clay from cracking in the kiln, the potter mixed it with clean sand while the clay was in a soupy state. Flint might be added if he wanted a stronger and harder stoneware. The excess water was eliminated by evaporation which allowed the mass of clay to thicken. When it was found to be the right consistency, the potter made balls or clumps of clay and stored in a damp area to cure. When ready, the clay blob had to be checked for air bubbles. The potter or his apprentice beat the clump of clay with a special club - much like the preparation for bread making. He kneaded it thoroughly. Then, while the clay was soft and workable, he would shape it by pressing it into plaster or metal molds. Plates, bowls and various jugs were formed by throwing the clay on the potters wheel. The wheel is a circular table which revolves on a vertical shaft. It was then spun around its own center causing the object to be round. When the potter was finished with one or many pots, he put them on pegs on the wall and let the clay dry for several days. Handles were then added if required and then put on the shelf until it was totally dry. The term used was green when it was dry. The kiln, circular and built of common brick had a domed top for redware, for harder products it had a conical top. Redware was glazed in the second firing of the clay. But, even fresh from the kiln, the redware could break easily; it is much like the flower pots we have used for years. The fire was intensified and the pottery maintained in the kiln for a good period of time. Then the kiln was allowed to cool down and wasn't opened until it was almost cold. The glaze used on the pottery was red or white lead and sand. The potter dipped the piece, trying not to miss a spot. He poured glaze in the pot and sloshed it around; the glaze was left to dry and then they were re-fired. The glaze, after it was fired, had no color. The potter colored brown by adding magnanese or green by adding copper oxide. The glaze, a pure lead, was deadly poison and the potter could get it on his hands. Many of the pottery pieces were decorated by the potter by etching in designs of flowers, bids or fish and coloring them with cobalt. This is a simple explanation to a difficult process and I hope I have done it justice! © Copyright 3 November 1998, Sandra K.

TIP #194 - THE "DDD" SCHEDULE - 1880 CENSUS Thanks to Bill Utterback, an outstanding genealogist, I have learned about a special form of which I had never heard! It has great potential for providing a rich vein of information if accessed. I would like to thank Bill for permission to post this to the KYRESEARCH list. The resource is known as: The "Supplemental Schedules 1-7: Defective, Dependent and Delinquent Classes" of the 1880 census. The 1880 census year was the only time that these schedules were a part of the decenniel census process. In 1880, there was a growing interest in health and social reform. These schedules were an effort to provide needed statistical data toward that end. I quote now from Bill Utterback: "We are all aware that the federal population schedules enumerated individuals who were classified as "insane" or "idiots"(and there is a difference), those in prisons, those deaf and mute, blind, homeless children, and paupers and indigents. But 98% of all genealogists are unaware that the census takers in 1880 were required, after they had enumerated an individual who fell into one of these classifications, to then go to one of the 7 schedules set aside for these categories and ask additional, probing questions of these individuals, if they were capable of answering. The instructions to the census taker directed him to do so and provided the questions he was to ask. For an "insane inhabitant", for example, the census taker was to elicit the following data from the individual or his/her caretaker, in addition to what he had already enumerated on the regular population schedule: Residence when at home Form of illness Is patient a paying patient? Duration of present attack Total number of attacks Age at which first attack occurred Does the person require to be usually or often kept in a cell...? Has this person ever been an inmate of any hospital or asylum for the insane and if so, where? What has been the total length of time spent by him/her in his/her life in such asylums? Is this person also an epileptic? Is the person suicidal? Is the person homicidal? Another example I'll show is what was asked about homeless children: Residence when at home Is this child's father deceased? Is this child's mother deceased? Has this child been abandoned by his/her parents? Has this child's parents surrendered the control over him/her to the institution? Was the child born in this institution? If not so born, state year when admitted Is this child illegitimate? Is this child separated from his/her living mother? Has he/she ever been arrested? If so, for what alleged offense? Has he/she ever been convicted or sentenced? Has the origin of this child been respectable? Has he/she been rescued from criminal surroundings? Is this child blind? Is he/she a deaf-mute? If he/she an idiot? This is marvelous anecdotal information at the very least, and can be very important insofar as addressing the question of where the person resides "when at home", and the census takers were admonished in the instructions, to realize that the mere fact that they are in an institution in one locale does not mean that they reside in that place. The questions for paupers and indigents included such questions as: what other members of the person's family are in the establishment (such as a poorhouse), and it even gives separate lines for husband, wife, mother, father, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and many of the other questions noted above are also asked. So, what do we do - now that we know about the DDD Schedules - when we next see a person who is of interest to us in the 1880 census, and the person is shown as indigent or pauper or homeless, or insane, etc.? We will know to go to the DDD Schedules and look for them again, and see if we can gain some additional information about them, as individuals, and about their family, their place of residence, and other items. Where do we find the DDD Schedules? For Kentucky, the originals (2 volumes) are located in the Duke University Library Manuscript Collection in Durham, NC. But, they have been microfilmed by the National Archives and Kentucky's are Microform Record M1528. So that film can be ordered and viewed. I hope that when you are next working the 1880 census, this info on the "forgotten" schedules from that year will prove to be a help." I haven't seen a copy of this schedule to date, but will certainly see if I can obtain a copy! I asked Bill if these are available for every county in Kentucky and his reply was: "As far as I know, these are available for all counties, everywhere in the country. All of KY's are on one reel of microfilm. I looked at Calloway County several years ago and there were about 50 people listed. The larger numbers would be in places like Hopkinsville, where the state insane asylum was in those days, plus the bigger cities, such as Louisville. There were some of the less populated counties that only had a few people listed. So it all fits pretty easily onto one roll of film. © Copyright 27 October 1998, Sandra K.

TIP #193 - COLLEGES & SCHOOLS OF HIGHER LEARNING, PART 3. This will conclude the current series on the old and new colleges and schools of higher learning in Kentucky. However, I know there are more which were not listed in my master source - and more than individuals have e-mailed me. I am accumulating these names and will put out a short list of these schools in the near future. I hope that this has given you a clue to some of the schools that your ancestors might have attended! Much of the information has been taken from "The Kentucky Encyclopedia", published 1992, University Press of Kentucky, John E. Kleber, Editor in Chief. SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY: Located in Louisville. There was an enrollment of 65 during the years 1876-77. The school began in 1859 coming out of Greenville, SC.

The school closed during 1861 or 1862 and was taken over as a Confederate hospital. It was re-chartered in 1880, burned 24 Feb 1884, rebuilt and re-opened that fall. The school was renamed in 1908 as McLEAN COLLEGE in honor of Archibald McLEAN, president of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society. Another fire in 1912 but school continues. SPAULDING UNIVERSITY: Established 1920 in Louisville and originally called NAZARETH COLLEGE. Operated by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth back to 1829.

TIP #188 - DISEASES, EPIDEMICS AND MEDICAL FACILITIES IN KENTUCKY Many times I have been asked where their doctor ancestor took his medical training. Many of our early physicians did not have a specific education; they practiced under the tutorage of another doctor. However, Kentucky did have several large medical training schools. I will be listing some of them here. However, we first need to look at how they developed. Kentucky, like all others states, was faced with numerous diseases in the 19th century. These included measles, mumps, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diptheria, smallpox, dysentery (bloody flux), influenza, typhoid fever, yellow fever, cholera and many types of diarrheal diseases. Some of the major epidemics have been listed in my Kentucky Time Line series but as a recap: 1822: Yellow fever hits Louisville 1835: Over 250 deaths attributed to cholera, hardest hit Russellville, KY. 1849: Cholera kills over 715 in Kentucky 1850: 137 reported deaths from cholera 1863: "Brain fever" hits Confederate troops in Kentucky causing intense head and neck pains, comas and rapid death. 1872: Smallpox breaks out in Louisville, over 100 cases reported. 1873: Cholera re-emerges with over 200 dead; yellow fever is brought to KY from Memphis, TN. 1918: The influenza outbreak in the United States was so bad that thousands died and in KY all public meetings were banned, even funerals were not allowed to be held. For many years, local physicians used available plants and remedies. Alcoholism, milk-sickness (trembles), pneumonia, pleurisy, venereal diseases were much tougher for the old country doctor to treat. They tried inducing sweating, purging and bleeding as their treatments for many diseases. This finally resulted in the need to efficiently train our Kentucky physician. Here are some of the medical schools in Kentucky, some of which no information is available at present: HOSPITAL COLLEGE OF MEDICINE: Opened in 1874-75, closed 1907. KENTUCKY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION: The Kentucky General Assembly, in 1851 incorporated the Kentucky State Medical Society which later became the Kentucky Medical Association. It is located in Louisville and handles medical education through the state. KENTUCKY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. Organized in 1850-51, closed 1907. KENTUCKY STATE BOARD OF HEALTH: This was established in 1878 primarily due to the cholera outbreak and smallpox. Local boards of health were approved in 1882 and city boards in 1886. It regulated the practice of medicine in Kentucky by requiring lists of certified physicians from each county clerk; then took over certifying physicians and nurses. The State Bureau of Vital Statistics was established in 1910 which required the listing of births and deaths. KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT: 1899-1908. LOUISVILLE MEDICAL COLLEGE: 18699-1907. LOUISVILLE MEDICAL INSTITUTE: Opened in 1837 and the city's first school for physicians. This, in 1846, became the Medical Department of the University of Louisville. LOUISVILLE NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE was incorporated on 24 April 1888., some show 1879. This was the only black medical school. It was allowed to give diplomas in the field of medicine and its graduates were allowed to perform surgery. The college operated into the early 20th century and was affiliated with Simmons University which is the only black institution in Kentucky offering a degree in theology, medicine and law. SOUTHWESTERN HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE. Founded 1892. TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY. The oldest medical institution in Kentucky. It opened in 1799 to educate doctors primarily west of the Allegheny Mountains. Some of the most famous medical educators were on staff her: Drs. Benjamin W Dudley, James Overton, William H. Richardson, Samuel Brown, Frederick Ridgely, Daniel Drake, Charles Caldwell, and Lunsford P. Yandell. But, it was sometimes a violent schools with duels breaking forth - one in 1818 between Dudley and Richardson. Yet the school prospered until the Louisville and Cincinnati Medical school merged and opened in Lexington. This was a financial strain on Transylvania and the last graduation held there was in 1859. UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE. The University began in 1837 with the creation of the Louisville Medical Institute and the Louisville College Institute. These two schools were combined in 1846 by the General Assembly and they added a law department. In 1850, opponents of the University of Louisville having a medical school established the Kentucky School of Medicine. These two institutions were constantly in competition and in 1907 the University of Louisville absorbed several rival schools. The medical school mergers coincided with developments near the 20th century . U. S. MARINE HOSPITAL: This is located on Portland Avenue in Louisville and was one of seven hospitals built on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and Lake Erie in the middle 1800's. The Secretary of War was authorized on 3 March 1837 to appoint a board of medical officers of the U S Army and were ordered to select and purchase locations for marine hospitals. Robert Mills designed the plan in 1837; and in 1841 a Louisville site was purchased. The U. S. Army Corp of Engineers which was supervised by Stephen H. Long built the hospital which was designed for civilian use. The Mexican War delayed the construction plans but by 1848, the progress resumed and the hospital opened in 1851. Closed 1898. On the web, there a site entitled Kornhauser Health Sciences Library Grandfather's Database. It has a searchable data base of students from 1838 to 1908 from various Louisville area medical schools. The following schools are included in the data base: · University of Louisville (1838-1908) · Hospital College of Medicine (1875-1907) · Kentucky School of Medicine (1851-1907) · Kentucky University Medical Department (1899-1908) · Louisville Medical College (1869-1907) http://purcell.library.louisville.edu/gfdb/Default.htm © Copyright 6 October 1998, Sandra K.
