As we near the conclusion of America's Bicentennial celebration, it is interesting to look back and note some of the events which were occuriring one hundred years ago during the Centennial Celebr ation of our nation's independence from Great Britain. One note worthy event in South Central Kentucky was the publication of a series of weekly newspaper articles in The Glasgow Times, beginning in March 1876 and continuing until October of that year. This series of thirty articles, entitled The Times Of Long Ago, was written by Franklin Gorin, a well-known pioneer resident of Barren County and prominent South Central Kentucky lawyer in the early days. This series of newspaper articles was collected and published in book form in 1929 by Lewis J Gorin,Sr. of Louisville and then repub- lished in 1974 by the South Cnetral Kentucky Historical and Geneal ogical Society, Glasgow, Ky. Although one hundred years old now The Times of Long Ago is still a valuable source of data for geneal ogists and historians and contains a wealth of information on many of the early pioneers and succeeding generations of their families. It is truly remarkable that Franklin Gorin, at age seventy-eight, still possessed the keenness of memory and brightness of intellect required to produce such a book. He was a very distinguished member of his own generation and one of the few living then who left a leg acy which we have continued to enjoy even to the present day. On this hundredth anniversaray of the first publication of The Times Of Long Ago, it is therefore seems very appropriate to review some of the highlights in the life and career of Franklin Gorin as a tribute to his memory. Franklin Gorin was born May 3, 1798, in a log home in a tiny settlement later to become known as Glasgow, Kentucky. He was the sixth child and third son of John Gorin and Elizabeth (Franklin) Gorin, who had moved to that area less than two months prior to his birth, along with members of the Franklin family, from whence his given naone was derived. He was the first white child born in Barren County, a fact comm emorated in a bronze plaque dedicated by the Edmund Rogers Chapter of the DAR in 1940 and now attached to the north wall of the Barren County Courthouse. The Courthouse itself stands on ground which, intrestingly enough, was donated by John Gorin, Franklin Gorin's father, in 1799 when Glasgow was established as the County seat of Barren County. John Gorin was a veteran of both the Revolutionary VJar and the War of 1812. He was born near Alexandria, Virginia, in 1763 and enlisted in the Revolutionary War at age thirteen, serving in several rtiajor battles during the war, including the final caim- paign at Yorktown which culminated in the surrender of Cornwallis 1 and his troops. He was made Captain of a company of mounted Militia recruited in Barren County during the War of 1812 and was subsequent-

-59- ^ ly promoted to major, serving with distinction under Isaac Shelby at the Battle of the Thaones. Little is known of Franklin Gorin's early life beyond the few m' details and incidents related in The Times of Long Ago. He obtained his education in Barren County under Rev. John Hov/e and Dr. Benjamin Thurston and was associated with his father in the merchandising business for a few years before entereing the legal profession. On October 21, 1818, he married Louisa Frances Underwood (1802-1841), sister of Joseph Rogers Underwood (1791-1876) and daughter of John Underwood and Frances Rogers of Goochland County, Virginia. The Underwood and Rogers fsimilies included many eminent members in those early days, the most distinguished of all being Gen. George Rogers Clark, who was a first cousin of Frances Rogers Underwood. Louisa and her brother had been entrusted to the care of an uncle, Edmund Rogers, who brought them to Kentucky and saw to their education and upbringing. Edmund Rogers (1762-1843), a veteran of the Revolution, came to Kentucky in 1783 and assisted his cousin. Gen. Clark, as a surveyor that year in the area around Louisville. The following year he became one of the first settlers in the area south of Green River, msiking the earliest surveys in that region and founding the f town of Edmonton, later to become the county seat of Metcalfe County. ; Edmund Rogers, no doubt recognized the remarkable talents and abilities of his nephew Joseph Rogers Underwood and provided him with an unusually fine education for those days. After his graduation from Transylvania University in Lexington in 1811, young Underwood studied law there under the eminent Robert Wickliffe, receiving his license in the fall of 1813 and moving to Glasgow immediately after wards to open a law office there. He was very successful in his practice from the beginning and had achieved a considerable reputat ion by the time of his sister's marriage to Franklin Gorin in 1818. At that time, he was representing Barren County in the state legis lature and also serving as County Attorney; in later years, he would rise to national prominence as a Congressman and U. S. Senator from Kentucky, in addition to numerous other honors. Underwood encouraged his brother-in-law to undertake the study of law, giving Franklin the benefit of his own unusually good libgrary education and legal training. Under the able tutelage of Joseph Underwood, Franklin Gorin mastered the rudiments of law and was ad- mited to the bar in March 1820. After receiving his license. Frank lin began practicing law in Barren County, in association with Jo seph Underwood, this arrangement continuing until the latter moved to Bowling Green in 1823. He was appointed County Attorney in Nov. 1820, succeeding his brother-in-law, and served in this office until 1835, when he resigned in order to have more time to devote to his t private practice. He represented Barren County in the state legis- * lature three times during this early period but did not run for ^ political office again after 1835, He was, however, a very active member of the Whig party which dominated Kentucky and Tennessee pol itics for a quarter centruy or more prior to the onset of the Civil War. -60- One of the highpoints in Franklin Gorin's career occurred in 1838, when he purchased the already famous Mcunmoth Cave for $5,000. at a time when the cave was, in his own words, "in a delapidated state," and tourists interest had waned considerable. Under his leadership, exploration of the cave was pushed and many new passageways and chambers were opened up, attracting much attention to the cave not only here in America but also throughout Europe. Gorin established the first system of official guides, who not only conducted visitors through the cave but also performed most of the exploratory work in this era of new discoveries in Maunmoth Cave. He also recognized the need for improved living accomodations for visitors at the Cave site and enlarged the existing inn, built stables, put up fences, and made other improvements. Under his leadership and guidance. Mammoth Cave sprang to life again, and the real development of the Cave as a major tourist attraction got underway to continue unabated until the pre sent day. .O As a result of the new f^ame and popularity of Mammoth Cave, Dr. John Croghan (1790-1849) of Louisville became interested in the Cave and on October 8, 1839 purchased it from Franklin Gorin for $10,000. Gorin had represented Dro Croghan as business agent in the South Central Kentucky area for many years, this relationship perhaps stemming from the family ties existing between the Croghan, Rogers, and Underwood families. Dr. Croghan's mother, Lucy Clark Corghan, was a sister of Gen. George Rogers C^],'rk and consequently a first cousin of Frances Rogers Underwood, who was Franklin Gorin's mother- in-law. After the transfer of ownership of the cave. Franklin Gorin con tinued to represent Dr. Croghan and played an active part in the Louisville physicians' Mammoth Cave venture. Following Gorin's suggestion. Dr. Corghan had an unusually fine system of roads con* structed which gave access to the cave from four different directions, Extensive additions were made to the hotel and surrounding grounds so that tourists could spend several days or more in relative comfort in the midst of the wilderness at the cave site. Exploration and development of the cave itself was also pushed as during the period of Gorin's ownership so that the cave continued to increase in both size and popularity and to attract more and more visitors. After his wife Louisa's untimely death at age of thirty-eight, Franklin was married July 30, 1841, in Nashville to Mrs Frances Boardman, a thirty-one year old widow, originally from London, Eng land, and a noted beauty of that era. Possibly the finest chapter in his career began shortly after this, when he moved to Nashville and opened a law office there. There were many distinguished lawyers practicing in the Courts in and around Nashville in those days. Among the legal giants of that age were Ephriam Foster (U S Senator from Tenn), Francis Fogg (Civic leader, first president of Nashville school board), Felix Grundy (eminent judge, twice US Senator), James K Polk (Eleventh President of the U S), and the renowned John Bell. Aside from the aging Andrew

-61- Jackson, Bell was no doubt the most powerful political figure in Tennessee at the time and a leader of national prominence in the l^/hig party. He had represented Tennessee in the U S House of Rep- ^ resentatives from 1827 until 1841, rising to the position of Speaker of the House and later becoming Secretary of War in President Will iam H Harrison's cabinet. A few months after Harrison's death, Bell resigned his cabinet position because of dissension between President Tyler and the Whig party led by Henry Clay of Kentucky. Returning to Nashville, Bell resiimed his law practice there and in 1842 enter ed into a partnership with Franklin Gorin. An advertisement which appeared daily in 1842 and 1843 on the front page of the Nashville Republican' Banner stated the following: "John Bell of Nashville and F» Gorin, recently from Kentucky, will practice law, in conjunction, in all the Courts held in Nashville; the Chancery Court held at Franklin, and in the Circuit Courts of the adjacent counties. They will attend to collections in any part of the state. Office in Campbell's New buildings. Cherry Street, Nash ville." The partnership flourished and was continued until 1848, when John Bell returned to Washington following his election as U. S. Senator from Tennessee, He served in that capacity with much dis- 5 tinction until 1859 when he was nominated for the presidencey. In the election of November 1860, the southern or pro—slavery vote was split between Bell and John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky thus assist ing in the election of Abraham Lincoln as a so—called"minority Pres ident." Lincoln received less than, 40 per cent of the popular vote but carried the heavily populated Northern states with large elec— torial votes and thus was elected President at a crucial moment in our nation's history. After the dissolution of his partnership with John Bell in 1848, Franklin Gorin returned to Glasgow and practiced law in association with his nephew John G Rogers, who later moved to Chicago and became a noted Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals there. Gorin's second wife died in Glasgow in 1851, and the following year he married Deborah Putnam Campbell (1820-1900), the daughter of Col. Samuel Campbell of Cherry Valley, New York and granddaughter of Gen. Israel Putnam of Revolutionary fame. Deborah C. Gorin was very historically inclined and an active genealogist whose detailed records of the Gorins and related families exist to this day and are of great value. She reputedly could trace her paternal ancestry back through the Campbell Clan of Scotland to King Arthur of the Round Table! In 1855, Franklin Gorin and family moved to Louisville where he became a member of a law firm in association with Addison M, Gazley r-\r and VJilliam Sampson. Gazley was one of the most successful lawyers of the 19th century in the Louisville area and Sampson was to be el ected Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals in Kentucky in 1865, Gorin continued to practice law there with the same unvarying success as elsewhere; but, due to the trying times and conditions existing in Kentucky during the Civil War, the firm was dissolved in 1864.

-62- The Gorin family moved to New York state at that time and spent the remainder of the war with relatives there. At the conclusion of the war, Franklin Gorin and family returned to Kentucky, living for a while in Bowling Green near an old friend, Joseph Rogers Underwood, then returning to their beloved Glasgow in the early 1870's. There, with a few remaining old friends and colleagues. Franklin Gorin lived out the remainder of his almost fourscore years, and composed The Times of Long Ago, possibly the greatest achievment in his long and varied career. He died in Glasgow on December 8, 1877, survived by his widow and three children; Harry C. Gorin (1854-1923), Mrs. Alice Gorin Blake- more (1845-1924), and Annie W. Gorin (1857-1939), all of Glasgow.

THE SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, INC., proudly announces it is sponsoring the publication of THE BARREN COUNTY. KENTUCKY CEMETERY RECORDS. VOL I. which has been compiled by Mrs. Eva Coe Peden. These eagerly awaited records, which have been collected for more than ten years, contain listings of burying grounds and cem eteries, some well known and easily accessible, and others little known or abandoned. Some of which are no longer in existance and are gradually disappearing over the years. There are no partial listings. If listed at all, it is complete, except for burials made after data was taken. The markers that were unreadable due to the ravages of time and weather, and in many cases, marked only with native stones, sometimes were identified by descendants or others with knowledge of persons buried in these family plots. These cemeteries were located with help of maps, and with persons who knew of the vicinity in which the burying grounds were located; from Wills of persons, who "excepted" these plots, if their land was to be sold or divided at their death; and from Deeds in which a family burying ground was mentioned. The book contains an index by name of the cemetery or burying ground as well as a 15 page surname index; there are 264 pages of the listings. The exact location of each cemetery is also included. It is 7X10 and is hard-back library bound. These records will be helpful to persons with ancestral links to Barren County, Kentucky. Expected mailing date is September 30, 1976, and pre-publication price is $12.00 plus 50^ postage and handling. After November 15, 1976 the price will be $14.50 plus postage and handling. On both prices Kentucky residents will please add 5% Kentucky sales tax. Place orders and make checks payable to: Mrs. Eva Coe Peden, 208 Morningside Drive, Glasgow, Kentucky 42141
