"The only way to get a divorce in the State of Kentucky before the year 1809
was by an act of the state legislature. In January of 1809 the circuit
courts were given authority to grant divorces. Some of these records come
from a list of made by a gentleman named Glenn Cliff while he was working at
the Kentucky Historical Society in the 1950's. This list of divorces was
printed in the magazine "Bluegrass Roots" published by the Kentucky
Genealogical Society beginning in the Spring of 1980. Some of these records
I found while searching through the individual counties in the circuit court
clerk's records and some are from reports of the Kentucky State Legislature."
