Original known as Bourbon County, Virginia, Clark County was created in 1785 from Fayette County, KY.

This book is similar to other history books of the era, but what does set it apart is the extensive section of religion and the churches role in its development.

This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one played a more important role in the settlement of Clark County than Capt. William "Billy" Bush. Born in Orange County, Virginia, Billy came out with Daniel Boone in 1775, resided for a time at Fort Boonesborough, then spent the rest of his life living a few miles from the fort. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. Billy was also a key figure in establishing Providence Baptist Church, the first church in Clark County. Their place of worship-the Old Stone Church-is now the oldest church on Kentucky soil. Billy Bush laid claim to thousands of acres of land between Winchester and the Kentucky River, and Daniel Boone ran the surveys for him. This land became the foundation of the Bush Settlement.

Download or read book The Clark County Chronicles written by Rosemary Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, the story of the settling of Clark County mirrored that of the rest of Kentucky and, indeed, the westward expansion of the country in general. Situated immediately north of Fort Boonesborough, the county served as a gateway for the pioneer settlement of central Kentucky. Its early history was filled with dangers and tragedies as well as the relentless will to survive and flourish. By the early 1900s, the children and grandchildren of Clark County's settlers were passing away, and along with them, their family stories and accounts of this early history. Almost a hundred years ago, the Clark County Historical Society was organized in 1922 with the goal of seeking to preserve our heritage. Two months later the group began producing The Clark County Chronicles, a series of articles focusing on the early history of our county. The columns first appeared in The Winchester Sun and were presented over the course of several years during the early 1920s; The Sun republished them in the 1980s. The Bluegrass Heritage Museum, home of today's Clark County Historical Society, feels it is time for the community to revisit the Chronicles, but for the first time all the articles have been combined in one book, illustrated and indexed.
Download or read book Where In The World written by Harry G. Enoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unusual place names evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. How did a place come to be called "Barefoot" or "Battle Row"? Where in the world were the "Sycamore Forest" and "Blue Ball"? Researching these names often reveals fascinating stories about local history, families, events, and politics. Clark County, Kentucky is blessed with many such interesting places. The articles in this book are collected from a column in the Winchester Sun called "Where in the World?" Each article describes an historic place name in Clark County, some well known, some not so well known. The articles were written for the Bluegrass Heritage Museum in hopes of fostering an interest in local history and the museum. This book is intended to do the same. This work includes one hundred articles that appeared in the newspaper between January 6, 2005 and August 23, 2007. A few of the articles were updated for this publication when additional information became available.
