TIP 391 - WHY DON'T YOU MARRY A LAWYER DEAR? Ah, the dream of mothers world-wide; to have their daughter marry a lawyer (or a doctor)! Good money, easy work, right? Wrong! The field of law has changed greatly over the years from the individual who learned his practice from "hearing" the law read from another lawyer, to the first law schools set up in Kentucky, to the profession it has become. Now sometimes regarded as one of the practices one doesn't trust, or one of which there is an over-abundance, the job of the lawyer has always been a fascinating one. I salute the lawyers of Kentucky past and present; as with any career, there were good ones and those who weren't so good. In the early days of interpreting the law in Kentucky, there were challenges not faced today. Our Kentucky laws were based so heavily on Virginia laws and little by little laws were modified, created or done away with to make Kentucky's legal system its own. Having access to many old law books on loan, I have compiled a list of lawyers found in Kentucky in the year 1859. If any are missing, I apologize, these were the only ones named in the legal library of one of our family members who had several generations of lawyer's blood running in their veins and had many of the original editions of records. There might be variations in the spelling, some lawyers were recently retired. This is a long list so will take several posts!
