From Kenneth Lee's "Jacob's People" "Old-timers like Oliver P. Shackleford and A. B. Johnson thought Salts Cave may have been discovered about 1794 by William West who they thought patented that land. Oliver said that his father told him the cave was first explored by Peter Kinser who was said to have stayed in it about a week examining its passages. "Oliver P. Shackleford and his wife Margaret were still living when I was a small child but old enough to remember them. They lived to be past age ninety, remained alert and active. Because they had no children she was able to go with him on various trips more than housewives with large families. We called him "Uncle Shack" and called her "Aunt Maggie." Once when she was exploring with him in Salts Cave she found an ancient moccasin. At first these caves had no value as tourist attractions but did attract scientists and explorers and of course a few who were thinking about them for financial reasons. The War of 1812 created a great need for saltpeter to use in gunpowder. Even though there were large quantities of it in Salts Cave it seems that cave was not worked heavily for that purpose. Ancestors of mine who spent much of their time exploring caves in that area did find where much digging had been done in Salts Cave sometime in the past, but nothing indicated for what purpose it was done. Markings at the diggings showed it was done with a very sharp instruments a long time ago. Sticks of wood with very sharp ends were found many places in the cave and looked as if they had been used for this digging. "One entrance to Salts Cave which we were told about was said to be at the bottom of a sinkhole and just large enough for one person at a time to pass through. A small spring above trickled over the entrance and disappeared into the pile of fallen rocks which nearly closed the entrance. To look at such an unimpressive hole in the ground you would never suspect the giant avenue just beyond. The floor of the cavern was so covered with jagged rocks which had fallen from the roof above that you could wonder if they may have closed other entrances which may have existed sometime in the past. "Early explorers reported indications of an ancient village just above this entrance. There they found flakes of flint, axes, awls and other implements. A little over a mile north of this place there were indications of another prehistoric village site. "A few miles inside the cave there was a small spring but otherwise the cave seemed very dry. Just inside the entrance early explorers found a bed of ashes ranging from two inches to two feet in depth and containing both human and animal bones. These bones seemed to have been cast in a disorderly manner. There were several skulls and lower jaws containing all teeth, indicating those people were still young at time of death. In some cases the second set of teeth were forming under this set of first teeth indicating those people were still children. The temperature and dryness of the cave had preserved the bones very well but after they were brought out into the dampness they soon crumbled, while the animal bones lasted longer."

I just posted this to my KYBIOGRAPHIES list and thought the readers of this list might enjoy reading about one of our former citizens. Sandi A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians, The Leaders and Representative Men in Commerce, Industry and Modern Activities. By E. Polk Johnson, Volume III, Illustrated. The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago-New York, 1912. HAIDEN C. TRIGG is one of the noblest examples of splendid business ability, of well balanced judgment and perseverance, of high integrity and extreme philanthropy of character, and all in all virility and symmetry of manhood such as are without example in the ole Blue Grass Commonwealth. He set forth on his journey of life some seventy-seven years ago, under the rapidly shifting skies of success and adversity, and through years burning with intense energy and devotion to the manifold affairs of life he has come to a ripe old age with undimmed alertness and clearness of mentality and judgment and rejoices that he can still carry the burden which would overwhelm most men of half his years. The history of his active career begins with a beautiful resolution, and nobility of purpose and strength of character have marked his life history. He has been interested in a number of different financial projects during his active career and has won renown in mercantile affairs, in the banking business and in railroading. He has long been a popular and prominent resident of Glasgow, Barren county, Kentucky. On a splendid far eligibly located some three miles distant from Glasgow, occurred the birth of Haiden C. Trigg, the date of his nativity being the 27th of May, 1834. He is a son of Alanson Trigg and of Mary Frances (Martin) Trigg. The paternal grandfather of him whose name initiates this review was born in the year 1765, in Bedford county, Virginia, whence he migrated to Barren county, Kentucky, about 1801. He was one of the original party that laid out the city of Glasgow and he was one of the first men to represent Barren county in the state legislature. In 1870 he moved from Kentucky to Winchester, Tennessee, where he passed the closing years of his life. Of his nine children seven accompanied him to Tennessee, one daughter, Fannie Curd, and another son, Alanson, remaining in Kentucky. Alanson Trig was born in Virginia in 1791 and was a child of but ten years of age at the time of his parents’ removal to Kentucky. During his life time Alanson Trigg was a farmer, a merchant and a banker and in each of those enterprises he achieved marked and gratifying success. He was summoned to the life eternal in 1873 at the venerable age of eighty-two years, his death having occurred on the old Trigg estate near Glasgow. Alanson Trigg married Mary Frances Martin and they became the parents of ten children, of whom the subject of this notice was the oldest son and the sole survivor in 1911. Haiden C. Trigg received his elementary educational training in the common schools of Barren county and later he supplemented thata discipline with study in Urania College, at Glasgow, Kentucky. When a youth of nineteen years of age he left home and went to the city of Louisville, where he engaged in the hardware business. His health becoming impaired, however, he returned to Glasgow and in 1866 there established the bank of Gorin, Trigg & Company, his partner in this enterprise having been Thomas J. Gorin, who retired from the banking business in 1873. Thereafter until 1900 Mr. Trigg continued his banking concern under the name of Trigg & Company, his business associates having been John T. Hawkins, S. G. Snoddy and T. P. Dickinson. During the entire period of the bank’s existence it has weathered the various financial storms and has never failed to meet its obligations, holding as a sacred trust all deposits and ever being ready to respond with cash whenever called upon. In 1900 the bank of Trigg & Company was nationalized and at that time Mr. Trigg retired from active participation in banking business, having been identified with that field of endeavor for fully forty-five years. He has been president of the Glasgow Railroad Company for the past twenty years, and in 1900, with others, he purchased that road, retaining his office as president. In earlier years he was also engaged in the general merchandise business, but he now confines his attention to his extensive railroad and property interests. He is a man who has climbed to affluence mainly through his own efforts and for that reason his success in life is the more gratifying to contemplate. Mr. Trigg has been twice married, his first union having been to Miss Bettie Hawkins, who bore him two children, of whom one died in infancy and the other, Litie, is now the wife of Hon. C. U. McElroy, of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Mrs. Trigg passed to the life eternal in 1865 and subsequently, Mr. Trigg was united in marriage to Miss Anne Carter Ballard, of Louisville, Kentucky. This union was prolific of nine children, concerning whom the following brief data are here incorporated: Louise B. [suc] is a practicing physician and surgeon at Glasgow, having been graduated in the Louisville College of Medicine; Charlotte is the wife of John V. Vreeland, of Louisville; Haidee is the wife of T. P. Dickinson, of Glasgow, and concerning his career a sketch appears on other pages of this work; Mary Frances is the wife of J. W. Krueger, of New York; Pearl Bertha is the wife of Hon. W. Morgan Shuster, and they formerly resided at Washington, D,. C.; he is now treasurer general and financial advisor to the Persian government; Alanson maintains his home at Glasgow, where he is cashier of the Trigg National Bank; Paul Dudley is the employee of the Glasgow Railroad Company, with headquarters at Glasgow; Herbert Blanton is engaged in the banking business at Los Angeles, California; and R. Ballard is in the insurance business in Glasgow. In his political affiliations Mr. Trigg, of this review, is a stanch advocate of the principles and policies for which the Democratic party stands sponsor. He has never aspired to public office of any description, but is ever ready to give of his aid and influence in support of all measures and enterprises advanced for the progress and development of this section of the state. While not formally connected with any religious organizations he is nevertheless decidedly a Christian man – of large heart and great benevolence. In his home he has a “Prophet’s Chamber,” where ministers and other good men are frequently entertained. Although fairly well advanced in years Haiden C. Trigg still retains in much of their pristine vigor the splendid mental and physical qualities of his youth. This is due in large measure to the fact that he is a natural born sportsman, one who is fond of all kinds of healthy out-of-door exercise, his one big hobby being the chase. Mr. Trigg’s sporting nature is well known along the line of the dog and gun and he has given to the hunting world a superior breed of fox hounds, call the “Trigg dog,” which he describes fully in his work, “The American Fox Hunt,” a volume compiled from celebrated letters of Mr. Trigg’s personal correspondence with noted sportsmen of Virginia and other states, the same covering a life-long experience. Mr. Trigg has come by his great love for the chase through inheritance, his mother having been the great-granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Walker and Mildred (Meriwether) Walker, of Castle Hill, Virginia, and a granddaughter of Nicholas and Mary (Walker) Lewis, of Albemarle county, Virginia, persons of great wealth and leisure whose pastime consisted chiefly in the importance of thoroughbred horses and fine hunting dogs and who were ever responsive to the mellow notes of the horn over the mountains of old Virginia. Mr. Trigg because of his great love of fox hunting has been frequently referred to as the Nimrod of Kentucky. He is a great breeder of fine dogs, the Trigg breed of fox hounds having been shipped to all parts of the South and even to far distant California. It is the fresh air and healthy sport that keeps one young in these days of strenuous activity and while Mr. Trigg has covered quite a number of years he is as young in spirit as he was half a century ago. He is the grand old man of Barren county and is everywhere beloved and respected on account of his exemplary life and broad human sympathy. He is very public-spirited and has in many ways given his efforts and influence for the upbuilding and advancement of the county which has represented his home and the field of his endeavor for so many years. His activities have touched upon many lines relating to the business development, the fraternal and social growth and progress of the city. His genial manner, his genuine worth of character and strong personal traits have won for him the regard and friendship of the vast majority of those with whom he has come in contact and made him a representative citizen of Glasgow.

I work many, many hours on the computer or digging out records from the County Clerk's office, etc. But, I do read things other than pedigree charts. I have never recommended a book to the list members but I'm going to break tradition. I guarantee that I receive absolutely no compensation from this but it's too good not to share. "In The Blood" is the first book by Steve Robinson of the UK. It would be classified as a genealogical crime mystery. It follows the adventures of Jefferson Tayte, an American genealogist who is tracking a family for a client in the US and he finds that someone went to great lengths to erase the whole family bloodline from recorded history. The story is set in Cornwall, England, past and present and reveals a young Cornish girl, a writing box,and a dark family secret. I love mysteries and I love genealogy and this is a "I don't want to put it down" book. I have corresponded with Mr. Robinson several times after reading the book. He is a charming gentleman who has his own family brick walls to break down and says he is not truly a genealogist but became involved while tracing his own roots. His second book, "To The Grave" will be released on Kindle the first week of June and about 6-8 weeks later in paper book. I just thought some of you might enjoy this book as it combines the best of genealogy with a lot of mystery, twists and turns and I guarantee that you won't figure out the mystery until the very last.

Happy Memorial Day as we remember those who have died to keep us free! Charlie has posted the puzzler for the week; I'm looking for one specific title! Go give it a try ... I just finished another book which is statewide other than just for south central KY. The Kentucky State Register For the Year 1847. The first year of publication, this was printed at first for all county employees and business men; then made available for the general public. It contains over 7,500 names for various classifications including: Judges and Clerks of the Courts, Commonwealth Attorneys and other government employees. Then each county is shown that was in existence in 1847 showing names of Justices of the Peace, Sheriff (commission date shown), Deputy Sheriffs, Clerk, County Attorney, Jailer, Coroner, Constables, Notaries Public, Surveyor, Commissioners of Tax, Attorneys at Law (plus town where lived), Physicians (towns shown) and principal merchants (town shown). Following this is a section showing the names of all the following clergy: Roman Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist Episcopal, Universalists and Lutheran. The next listing are the officers of the Masonic Fraternity, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance. Concluding the book is a history of Kentucky showing major events 1749 through 1821. 265 pages including large full-name index. This took a while to index! It is a snapshot of 1847. I found it fascinating and found some of the ancestors in the listing. This is a copy of the original book. If you would like to see the index (large), write me privately and I'll send it to you at no charge. Now enjoy the day!

When I was a small child, women in our neighborhood would gather to help with quilting. Since I am/was a depression child, we did not have a lot of toys etc. We played with whatever we could think up. While the ladies were quilting at "our" house, we would play under the frame and quilt. We had shoe boxes, Sears Roebuck catalogs and scissors. We would cut out the furniture, people (no paper dolls) and whatever and paste them into the shoe boxes which was the home of our make believe families. I must tell my grandchildren this story. Mary June Foulk

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For years, varied and sometimes wild claims have been made about the origins of a group of dark-skinned Appalachian residents once known derisively as the Melungeons. Some speculated they were descended from Portuguese explorers, or perhaps from Turkish slaves or Gypsies. Now a new DNA study in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy attempts to separate truth from oral tradition and wishful thinking. The study found the truth to be somewhat less exotic: Genetic evidence shows that the families historically called Melungeons are the offspring of sub-Saharan African men and white women of northern or central European origin. And that report, which was published in April in the peer-reviewed journal, doesn't sit comfortably with some people who claim Melungeon ancestry. "There were a whole lot of people upset by this study," lead researcher Roberta Estes said. "They just knew they were Portuguese, or Native American." Beginning in the early 1800s, or possibly before, the term Melungeon (meh-LUN'-jun) was applied as a slur to a group of about 40 families along the Tennessee-Virginia border. But it has since become a catch-all phrase for a number of groups of mysterious mixed-race ancestry. In recent decades, interest in the origin of the Melungeons has risen dramatically with advances both in DNA research and in the advent of Internet resources that allow individuals to trace their ancestry without digging through dusty archives. G. Reginald Daniel, a sociologist at the University of California-Santa Barbara who's spent more than 30 years examining multiracial people in the U.S. and wasn't part of this research, said the study is more evidence that race-mixing in the U.S. isn't a new phenomenon. "All of us are multiracial," he said. "It is recapturing a more authentic U.S. history." Estes and her fellow researchers theorize that the various Melungeon lines may have sprung from the unions of black and white indentured servants living in Virginia in the mid-1600s, before slavery. They conclude that as laws were put in place to penalize the mixing of races, the various family groups could only intermarry with each other, even migrating together from Virginia through the Carolinas before settling primarily in the mountains of East Tennessee. Claims of Portuguese ancestry likely were a ruse they used in order to remain free and retain other privileges that came with being considered white, according to the study's authors. The study quotes from an 1874 court case in Tennessee in which a Melungeon woman's inheritance was challenged. If Martha Simmerman were found to have African blood, she would lose the inheritance. Her attorney, Lewis Shepherd, argued successfully that the Simmerman's family was descended from ancient Phoenicians who eventually migrated to Portugal and then to North America. Writing about his argument in a memoir published years later, Shepherd stated, "Our Southern high-bred people will never tolerate on equal terms any person who is even remotely tainted with negro blood, but they do not make the same objection to other brown or dark-skinned people, like the Spanish, the Cubans, the Italians, etc." In another lawsuit in 1855, Jacob Perkins, who is described as "an East Tennessean of a Melungeon family," sued a man who had accused him of having "negro blood." In a note to his attorney, Perkins wrote why he felt the accusation was damaging. Writing in the era of slavery ahead of the Civil War, Perkins noted the racial discrimination of the age: "1st the words imply that we are liable to be indicted (equals) liable to be whipped (equals) liable to be fined ... " Later generations came to believe some of the tales their ancestors wove out of necessity. Jack Goins, who has researched Melungeon history for about 40 years and was the driving force behind the DNA study, said his distant relatives were listed as Portuguese on an 1880 census. Yet he was taken aback when he first had his DNA tested around 2000. Swabs taken from his cheeks collected the genetic material from saliva or skin cells and the sample was sent to a laboratory for identification. "It surprised me so much when mine came up African that I had it done again," he said. "I had to have a second opinion. But it came back the same way. I had three done. They were all the same." In order to conduct the larger DNA study, Goins and his fellow researchers – who are genealogists but not academics – had to define who was a Melungeon. In recent years, it has become a catchall term for people of mixed-race ancestry and has been applied to about 200 communities in the eastern U.S. – from New York to Louisiana. Among them were the Montauks, the Mantinecocks, Van Guilders, the Clappers, the Shinnecocks and others in New York. Pennsylvania had the Pools; North Carolina the Lumbees, Waccamaws and Haliwas and South Carolina the Redbones, Buckheads, Yellowhammers, Creels and others. In Louisiana, which somewhat resembled a Latin American nation with its racial mixing, there were Creoles of the Cane River region and the Redbones of western Louisiana, among others. The latest DNA study limited participants to those whose families were called Melungeon in the historical records of the 1800s and early 1900s in and around Tennessee's Hawkins and Hancock Counties, on the Virginia border some 200 miles northeast of Nashville. The study does not rule out the possibility of other races or ethnicities forming part of the Melungeon heritage, but none were detected among the 69 male lines and 8 female lines that were tested. Also, the study did not look for later racial mixing that might have occurred, for instance with Native Americans. Goins estimates there must be several thousand descendants of the historical Melungeons alive today, but the study only examined unbroken male and female lines. The origin of the word Melungeon is unknown, but there is no doubt it was considered a slur by white residents in Appalachia who suspected the families of being mixed race. "It's sometimes embarrassing to see the lengths your ancestors went to hide their African heritage, but look at the consequences" said Wayne Winkler, past president of the Melungeon Heritage Association. "They suffered anyway because of the suspicion." The DNA study is ongoing as researchers continue to locate additional Melungeon descendants. ___ Associated Press Writer Cain Burdeau contributed to this story from New Orleans

The following story is taken from the Spring 1999 issue of Broomsedge Chronicles. This was written by Julie Massengill of Glasgow as told her by WIlma Pierce of Harrogate, TN in 1999. "My mother, Wilma Pierce, grew up in a small community in the hills of Tennessee called Tazewell, which is located in Claborne County. In the early 1940's, generally in January or February, Mom recalls as a child accompanying her mother, Irene Hansard, to quilting bees, which were a big event. They walked across the hills in the cold of winter wearing long stockings on their legs and handmade dresses that had been sewn by Grandma. But before the quilting bee could happen, several steps took place. "First, the men of the community began assembling a quilting frame, which would last for years. The frame consisted of a total of four boards, two long and two short, giving the frame a rectangular shape. The short boards crossed over the long boards, leaving an extension protruding from each end. Each of the four boards had tacks placed about every four to six inches apart where the quilt would be attached very tightly. Every board also had holes drilled every twelve inches so that a nail with a head could be dropped into it for sizing of the frame. These holes allowed the ladies to roll their finished work under the frame in order to decrease their work space and make quilts of different sizes. The corners of the short boards had large holes in which strings were tied and then attached to ten-foot high ceilings, so the quilt could be rolled up along the frame to the ceiling until another quilting day. "On the day of a quilting bee, the farmers' slim wives assembled and stitched the quilt together. First, they placed the back of the quilt, which was usually muslin (heavy or sheer cotton cloths of plain weave), on the frame. Second, they carefully laid a layer of cotton on top of the muslin, making sure both layers were pulled tightly over the tacks on the frame. Last was the quilt top, the heart of the quilt which someone in the community had stitched together from cut pieces of material, designing the fabric into pictures, patterns, or appliqued patchwork. Many quilt tops were signed and dated, while others had an intentional mistake of turning a piece of fabric backward, upside down or sideways. The makers of the quilt tops did this because only God could create something that was perfect. After each layer was placed tightly and securely over the tacks on the frame, the ladies sewed the layers together with short running stitches, called quilting stitches. Three to four women lined up on each side of the quilt and began working right away with their thimbles on their fingers, their needles sewing swiftly, and their scissors close at hand. "Lastly, the quilting bees for a time for children and adults to enjoy the social gathering of the day. It was a time for the children to play and have fun, and the women to talk and visit with one another. Everyone didn't quilt at the same time. Some quilted, some cooked, and some cared for the children, but they all cared about their families and neighbors. They talked about the community and the people in it, but this was never gossip because these Christian women figured out ways to help one another or someone in need. So truly more went into the quilts than stitches because they were filled with the care and love of all the neighborhood ladies. Mom recalls that her fondest memories were those wonderful times that were spent with one another at the quilting bees. "Unfortunately, quilting bees are becoming a thing of the past. Even my mother doesn't quilt -- she only pieces the quilt tops together. She never learned the art of quilting even though she had one of the best teachers. However, her quilt tops are beautiful and cherished by all four of her children, especially me even though I never learned to sew. For my generation, the art of making beautiful quilts is dying out, but the biggest loss is the closeness of the community pulling together to love and to help one another. The quilting bees were a time to visit, to care, and to love. The quilts were an extra bonus."

Since I had a puzzler recently that involved the Hatfields and the McCoys; thought I would inform you of the following special on the History Channel. For your information ... the below is from the History Channel promo. Sandi Hatfields and McCoys­the names alone call to mind images of backwoods vigilantes hell-bent on defending kith and kin. Yet the actual history behind the parties involved­and the grudges that precipitated the messy conflict­remain unknown to many. But that's about to change. This Memorial Day weekend, HISTORY® will offer a gritty, action-packed dramatization of the famous feud in a scripted miniseries. Featuring an all star cast including Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton, Mare Winningham, and Tom Berenger, Hatfields & McCoys brings to life the bloody vendetta, detailing the explosion of violence that took place in the shadow of the American Civil War and the tragic stories of the families torn apart by love, lust, passion, and revenge.

The late Kenneth Lee many years ago gave me permission to keep his books in print. One of these books is Jacob's People referring to Jacob Lock(e). Since I have been working with the records of Mammoth Cave reference the law suit against George D. Morrison; I thought I'd take another look at the history of the caves in Edmonson Co. The following is taken from pages 21 thru 23 of Mr. Lee's book and will be shown in more than one post. Chapter 3 - A Look at the Caves. In most countries of the world, caves have preserved the remains of ancient people as well as many articles pertaining to their way of life such as clothing, ornaments, food, tools and weapons. The aboriginal would find the cave to be the safest and most comfortable abode. From the fire-pits, ash heaps and debris left behind in caverns we can determine what kind of person he was and how he lived. I have been told that no findings in caverns of America correspond with prehistoric caveman findings of Europe. Many Kentucky caverns were used by the aboriginals as depositories of their dead. Articles found in these caverns indicate ancient families lived there either as comfortable semi-permanent homes or as temporary refuge from some kind of enemy. Beneath the grassy fields and green forests of south central Kentucky lies the most remarkable structure of limestone caverns. They are to be found in an area of at least eight thousand square miles. Layers of limestone in this area are found to vary from only a few feet to sometimes three hundred feet or more. In Edmonson County wonderful caverns have been cut between those layers of underground streams and their contents. One of those forces is carbonic acid gas to which nature has added the grinding effect of sand from the sandstone above and pebbles from the flintbeds of the limestone itself. In a triangular area of Edmonson County and Hart County, Kentucky have been found three very interesting caves, one of which is the world-famous Mammoth Cave. One of these called Colossal Cave we will discuss more about later. The other was named Salts Cave and contained some of the most interesting relics to be found anywhere. When examining some of the pieces of textile fabric found in that cave it is difficult to imagine how those prehistoric people could have made such a thing. In another nearby cave called Short Cave there was found a so-called American mummy, not just a skeleton of bones but skin and all, but of course, dried up. They told me it was possible for that to happen because of the germ-free atmosphere and constant low temperature of the cave. For a while that mummy was put on display at Mammoth Cave and later placed in the National Museum in Washington, D. C. Connected with Colossal Cave is a cave called Bed Quit Cave, so named because of the finding of an ancient mat resembling a quilt in the long ago. Salts Cave was very rich in prehistoric relics but never received much publicity until a study was made by Professor F. W. Putnam of the Peabody Museum of American Archeology and Anthropology together with members of the Kentucky Geological Survey. They visited and partly explored Salts Cave then revealed to the world some of the wonderful things which through this cave were traced to the people who lived in Kentucky centuries ago. Very little was written about that cave for a hundred years while Mammoth Cave received visitors from all over the world. It was a custom for early Kentucky explorers to place their names or dates in places where they thought others of their kind might later follow. Sometimes these men might use a rock to scratch names and dates on the walls of the caves or write such information with smoke from the flames of their lantern held close to the ceiling overhead. One of the earliest dates place in this cave was 1818 and the next was 1843 along with the names of people known to be living in that area at that time. To be continued next week.
