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!
