You wrote of Estill's Station--so I googled for Estill's Station. I turned up several URLs. One by Sandi Gorin [she knows a lot about Kentucky, but I forget which part] and these are the descriptions she gives: ESTILL'S STATION: On Muddy creek, 3 miles S of Richmond, Madison county; settled by Capt James ESTILL, before 1781. ESTILL'S NEW STATION: 5 miles SE of Richmond Searching the surname Miller is a problem. Millar is the way Ulstermen [Northern Ireland] spell the name. I have a Miller allegedly from County Down who somehow got to the frontier in Trigg Co., KY by 1820--in time to marry a lady somewhat older than he!!!! He was a wily critter!!! Kept moving!!! Helped with the Texas Revolution in 1835. Question: Is Estill's station and the early settlers mentioned at all in the Lyman Draper Collection (on about 152 reels of film at many University libraries and probably at Kentucky Historical Society and larger universities in Kentucky - and elsewhere.) One needs a calendar [no--it is a kind of index, most of which have been published by the Historical Society of Wisconsin, who holds the Draper Collection, where Draper was a curator/director for a number of years]. I googled for the phrase *calendar of Draper collection. Someone has listed on e-bay a CD-ROM ($14 plus shipping) of Part II of something about the Kentucky papers. To find out a little more about what may be included in the Draper Collection (specifically, those parts which refer to Kentucky Papers), use this URL for Bowling Green [Ky] college. --_www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/_ (http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/) infosrv/MicroCollections/draper.htm-- Remove the punctuation fore and aft--rootsweb doesn't like *raw* URLs. E.W.Wallace PS If you learn more about the early days of Estills Station, please share with us. My folks were more in the Boonesborough area--except perhaps Andrew Tribble, who seemed to be in and around Richmond (or its predecessor).

Bowling Green State University (bgsu) is in Ohio. The university in Bowling Green, KY is Western Kentucky University (wku). None of this matters if you are using the web, but if you decided to visit, it would make a difference. Sandi Gorin is in Glasgow, Ky, not far from WKU and she knows a lot about most parts of Kentucky. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 10:44 PM Subject: [MADKY-L] Estill's Station > You wrote of Estill's Station--so I googled for Estill's Station.
