Tricky Little Subject isn't it?

You all know that Sandi Gorin is a friend of mine, possibly cousins, I got thi
from her Ky Tips forum

Tip #1 A look at Ky.

If our earliest families can be traced back to "Virginia, we must realize that
they could have been

1. In any part of Illinois from 1781 until its statehood in 1818
2. In any part of Indiana from 1787 until its statehood in 1816
3. In any part of Kentucky from 1775 to its statehood in 1792
4. In any part of North Carolina from 1728 to 1799
5. In any part of Ohio from 1778 to its statehood in 1803.
6. Any part of pennsylvania from 1752 to 1786.
7. Any part of Tennessee from 1760 to 1803
8. Any part of West Virginia from 1769 to 1863!

Before KY reached statehood, and long before white man explored here, Kentucky
was part of Augusta County, Va. In 1780 Kentucky county, organally Virginia
County, was subdivided into three separate counties: Fayette- Jefferson-
Lincoln.
