George and Sharon There is no doubt that many who came to Ky came from Westmoreland Co, Pa. I have been looking at why? If you want some very interesting history look at the history of The Ohio Co which sold or pushed people to Westmoreland Co after 1750. This was before it became PA. When most went to Westmoreland it was touted as a county of VA. They mostly settled at Redstone Fort or Town which is now in Fayette Co PA. The library in Fayette has a great genealogy dept and covers this migration with excellent references. There are two reasons (my conclusions only) that they (including my ancestors) left. The first was the terrible indian wars initiated by the English and the second was that most had slaves especially those that came from NC and VA. PA just after it got legal title to Westmoreland Co area (It was called many other names prior) declared PA a slave free state. My ancestors Robertsons divided on the slave question with some in the same family moving north to Michigan and some moving to NC and SC. My wifes family the Claytons apparently also came to Ky the same way but they seem to have been non slave owners. All this may never be proved. Brock
