An extra post mucho early ....forgive me!! I'm going to break down and plug a new book which I just now finished. For the past 4 yrs or so, I have been publishing researching tips for KY. After being asked by so many, I have just finished Volume 1 of these tips, updated. Many major libraries have been saving my tips over the years for the use of their patrons and many of you readers have asked me to put this in book form. I have organized the first volume of possibly 2 or 3. The book is 220 pages long with almost 6,600 names in the fullname index. It is soft spiral bound. Chapters include: Chapter 1: Kentucky - the State. How Kentucky evolved from Virginia Chapter 2: County Formations. When formed, of what county, named for, info on county seat, some early citizens and events. Chapter 3: Old Forts, Stations and Settlements: When founded, location, published residents, what happened there if known. Chapter 4: Old Trails, Traces, Paths and Roads. How did our ancestors get into KY and leave. Location of the above. Chapter 5: Rev. War Soldier's Pension Applications. Showns name, rank, where served, when applied, age at application, amount paid, death date if known. All counties shown - several didn't have any if formed too late for any living soldier to reside there. Chapter 6: Kentucky Time Line 1745-1874. Wars, duels, feuds, strange weather, murders, birth or death of famous KYians or citizens with unusual circumstances, explorations, etc. Chapter 7: How KY Acquired its Land: Walker Line, Tellico Grants, Loyal Land Company, Treaty of Paris, Treaty of Fort Stanwix, Treaty of Sycamore SHoals, Lord Dunmore's War, Treaty of Camp Charlotte, Jackson Purchase. Chapter 8: Kentucky's Newer Forts, KY Militia, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Galvanized Yankees. Chapter 9: Abbreviations, Definitions & Terminology. Medical, legal, food, equipment, occupations. The book is available and sells for $28.00 which includes shipping and handling, with KY residents 6% tax to be added. Thanks for letting me tell you about the book - if you have questions, write me privately. With this large an index, I am not doing look-ups - it covers the whole state. Sandi Col.
