TIP #262 - RESIDENTS OF THE OLD KENTUCKY FORTS AND SETTLEMENTS - PART 1:

Early in my contributions to this research site, I ran a series on the
old
Kentucky forts and settlements. One thing was missing - a comprehensive
list
of those who lived there. Recently, I found a book entitled "Kentucky in

Retrospect - Noteworthy Personages and Events in Kentucky History
192-1967.
The original version was published in 1942 for the Sesquicentennial of
the
Statehood of Kentucky; it was reprinted and updated in 1967 by G. Glenn
Clift and the Kentucky Historical Society. I am going to abstract
information from the section on the old forts and settlements and add
other
data as I go along. Many names are found at the forts and are supposed
to
be
relatively complete. However, please refer back to precious tips as I
see a
few names are missing.
FORT BOONESBOROUGH: This fort was established in 1775 in current day
Madison
Co, on the south bank of the Kentucky River. In February of this year,
Capt
Wm. TWITTY, James COBURN, James BRIDGES, Thomas JOHNSON, John HART, WM.
HICKS, James PEEKE and Felix WALKER came from Rutherford Co KY. They
traveled on to the Watauga River (Tennessee River) awaiting the signing
of
the treaty with the Cherokee Indians. Daniel BOONE was then sent into
the
area as an agent for the Transylvania Company. The men mentioned above
under
Capt. Twitty and Boone united and proceeded into Kentucky. Those with
the
Transylvania Company included Thomas HART, Nathaniel HART, David HART,
John
LUTTRELL, William JOHNSON and James HOGG from Orange Co VA and John
WILLIAMS, Leonard Hendley BULLOCK and Col. Richard HENDERSON from
Granville,
NC. A petition was issued of the Transylvanians to the Virginia
Convention
in May 1776 and contained the following names (per the Filson Club
