HE economic beginnings of Kentucky are to be *- found almost as far back in the past as the foundations of its political history. At the beginning of the French and Indian war, the Governor of Virginia gave to the militia of his State a specific reason for enlistment in the promise of western lands. According to the terms of his proclamation, 200,000 acres of land were to be surveyed on or near the south bank of the Ohio River and divided among the militia.1 The terms were liberal, as was appropriate in the case of men who in all probability would not live to demand their execution. For reasons which do not require explanation, these lands were not surveyed till the close of the struggle, and in 1763 the proclamation of King George in regard to his newly won territory again took up the land question. The land was to be surveyed for the veterans in amounts proportionate to their rank. Field officers were to receive 5,000 acres; captains, 3,000; subalterns or staff officers, 2,000; noncommissioned officers, 200; and the lowly private, 50.2 But the same proclamation that set forth these terms likewise closed the Kentucky lands to settlements, reserving them to the Indians. Not until 1770 did the Virginians obtain the legal sanction to settle in Kentucky. In October of that year the treaty of Lochaber with the Cherokees placed the western boundary at the Kanawha, and Colonel Donelson in surveying ran it along the Kentucky instead. This action, acquiesced in by all parties, opened 1 Hening, Vol. VII, p. 669. 2 Ibid. up Kentucky for the Virginians. The English shortly announced a new policy, to survey the lands in tracts of from fifty to one thousand acres and sell them at auction.3 But the Virginia House of Burgesses...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its establishment in 1745, Augusta County, Virginia served as a haven for Scotch-Irish, German, and, to a lesser extent, English immigrants who failed to find economic opportunity or religious freedom in the colonial settlements along the Middle Atlantic coastline. This little known but important work contains detailed genealogies of the twenty families mentioned in the title of the work, who settled in that region of "old western Augusta" that today encompasses Bath and Highland counties, Virginia. In addition to the family histories, the compiler has provided introductory chapters on the history of German and Scotch-Irish settlement to the region; a table of family members who fought in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil Wars, and a full name index with approximately 10,000 entries.

Book excerpt: The present work is the result of consultation and cooperation. Those engaged in its composition have had but one purpose, and that was to give to the people of Kentucky a social and political account of their state, based on contemporaneous history, as nearly as the accomplishment of such an undertaking were possible. It has not been the purpose of those who have labored in concert to follow any line of precedent. While omitting no important event in the history of the state, there has been a decided inclination to rather stress those events that have not hitherto engaged the attention of other writers and historians, than to indulge in a mere repetitionot that which is common knowledge. How far they have succeded in this purpose a critical public must determine.
