Mary, I live in Warren County and I agree with Sandi. I would go to the courthouse. It's located on 10th Street. It's the old courthouse. We now have a new one, but the records are at the old one. DO not park in the bank parking lot! They will tow your vehicle! As you enter the courthouse, you will go to the door on the right. Haven't been in there in a while, but the records are in the basement. I would also go to the Kentucky Library located on Kentucky Street. The records are upstairs. They have a special collections room. I donated my great aunt's autograph album to them because my kids didn't want it and would probably destroy it. Wanted it to go somewhere where it would be saved. If you need better directions, let me know and I will try to help.

May. They were in Warren co in early 1840s. I am planning a trip to Bowling Green this Summer and want to know where I can find land records, wills, and anything else that might date back that far. I am trying to find out the father of Caleb May who was born in Virginia (his father) probably in the 1760s. Elizabeth (his wife) is on the census alone so I believed he died in Warren Co before 1840. John R. (who I believe is another son) was in Warren county and was a brick mason. Delphia May Williams may have been a daughter. This Caleb May was born in KY about 1811 and married Louisa Harris in 1839. Not long after that they moved to Missouri, where he died about 1893. Any help with this problem would really be appreciated. There are other Caleb Mays in other KY counties - Floyd and a few others. The births don't fit.

Charles et al - this is good information. On the rare occasions I make it to Bowling Green, I haven't been able to spend any time. I'm only about five hours at most but I wish I could go and stay for a while without running up much in hotel bills. I have family but my closest contact, Thelma Jean Conner Willoughby died in the past year or so. I wish wasn't so crunched for lodging!
