Footsteps of Early Barren County KY Settlers.
When Barren County was formed in 1799, settlers from many areas came here. The majority of them stayed and their surnames are still found in the county. However, many took off for new locations based on the lure of inexpensive land, a chance for a new beginning or the recommendation of family, friends or churches who had made the move. This book contains over 50 biographies taken from the biographical histories of Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Texas of former Barren County citizens. Many are extremely detailed, going back several generations and includes children's information, occupations, careers and a look at the hardships endured.
