Can anyone tell me if any of these surnames (or folks) are familiar in Hampshire or Frederick County? This Gath was part of old Montgomery Co KY. I'm looking at finding out where most of the occupants were from so I can find out if Thomas C. Brown came to Gath from a county other than Hampshire. The first trustees of Gath were William Burke, William Caldwell, Thomas C. Brown, and Alexander Simpson. William Burke was a land owner on Locust Creek. His will is recorded in Fleming County and it was probated in October, 1801. According to the plat of the town in the old court order book, Gath contained 103 in-lots and 10 out-lots. These 113 lots contained all together 100 acres. The streets were named East, North Cross, Main, Lower Water, and Upper Water. In the center of the town was a public square containing two acres. Running north was a street called Out Street, which led in the direction of Flemingsburg. At the May term of Fleming Court, 1799, John Hunt and Manley Brown were appointed to mark out the bounds for a warehouse in the town of Gath for the inspection of flour and hemp. They finally made their report in July, 1799, stating they had laid off lots 12 and 13 (half-acre lots) for the warehouses -- beginning on the bank of the creek, thence down the same 10 rods, then off at right angles 15 rods, for quantity. Isaac Terhune bought the first lots, numbers 5 and 50, in Gath on March 10, 1800. The trustees at that time were Isaac Lawson, Archibald Glenn, William Caldwell, and Edward Johnson. (This change of persons on the board of trustees indicates that a number of people were interested and involved in the town.) On May 12, 1800, Joseph Denton, Archibald Glenn, William P. Ramey, and Andrew Wills were appointed to view and mark out the nearest and best way for a road from the ford on the Licking River at the town of Gath to intersect the road from Flemingsburg to Myers' ferry at or near Terhune's. On July 14, 1800, they made their report, stating that they had completed said order. On the same day Byram Routt, Archie Remy, Shardlow Whiteman, Skinner Hutson, and Roger Dougherty made a report that they had viewed and marked out the road from the mouth of Locust to Abraham Tout's, running with the town (Gath) line until it crossed Locust then up Locust to the mouth of the South Lick, then to near the head of the said lick and crossing the ridge to said Tout's. On Nov. 10, 1800, it was ordered that the road from the mouth of Locust Creek to intersect the road from Flemingsburg be established as a public road and that Shardlow Whiteman be appointed overseer.
