I DEDICATE THIS VOLUME- My father was a resident of Jessamine County for sixty-five years. He was honest, upright, patriotic, public-spirited, and always the friend of the poor and — suffering. My mother God bless her name and memory ! had a heart full of human sympathy and tenderness, and also of the love of Christ, whose teachings she faithfully followed for sixty years, in the midst of the people of Jessamine. Descended from Revolutionary sires, they both ardently loved the freedom of this free land with an unquenchable love, and taught their children, as the noblest aim of life, to serve God and be true to the glorious liberty their ancestors had so cour- ageously fought to w^in. They sleep in the cemetery at Lexington, Ky., and I trust they have a kindly remembrance with the people among whom they lived and died. PREFACE. Jessamine' ctnnit\- is one of the few jj^reat counties of the state whose history remains unwritten. I"'or a long time after its be- ginning, it was overshadowed in many ways by Lexington. Dan- ville, Paris, 1 larrodsburg, and W'incliester. 'Die county had no positofifice until 1801. Mails were infrequent and carried by hand. Lexington was the great town south of the Ohio and west of the Alleghenies. Wlicn the county was organized, Lexing- ton had a population of nearly 2.000. while Cincinnati had less and was its merchandise in which than 500, buying Lexington ; was already the seat of a university; it had churches and schools, and was the great trading point for a large part of Kentucky, and portion of Ohio. Indiana and Tennessee. Brick houses had begun to be erected, and newspapers had been published for eleven }ears, and being only twelve miles from Nicholasville. it was inevitable that it should draw to it a very large share of the trade of Jessamine. Lexington was then, and remained for many years thereafter, the political, intellectual, and commercial metropolis of Kentucky, and it necessarily dwarfed the surrounding towns and attracted ihe I)est trade from the counties within a radius of fifty miles. Lexington, too. had the first railroad in the west. The line to P'rankfort was finisheil and operated in December. 1835. and b}- 1851. trains Vvcre run through from Louisville to Lexington. In 1854, a train ran from Covington to Lexington, and from Lexington to I'aris in 1853. Hiese railways diverted the trade from the steamboats on the Kentucky river and thev made Lex- ington a great center. The enterprise and courage of her people received a just and ample reward. J^'ayette county and Lexington always exhibited great enterprise as well as the highest public spirit, and in com- merce as well as education they attained high rank, because thev had the sagacity and tlie enter|)rise to improve the op])ortunities which presented tliemselves. Jessamine count \ liad no railway until 1857. From that time Nicholasville assumed a new importance. Long the terminus of 8 Preface. the Kentuckv CcMitral, tlK-rc came to it both travel and trade, and of it began to improve.

She has liberalh' rcs]ionded to all calls for ptiblic improvement. She never re])udiated any of her obligations. She always paid what she agreed to pay, and her subscription to the Kentucky Central Railroad, to the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, to the improve- ment of the Kentucky river, and to the Richmond, Xicholasville, Irvine and Beattyville line: is highest evidence of her sagacity and generosit\-. and placed the county in the best possible position for the development of all its resources. Looking back one hundred years, the people of Jessamine can feej a glow of honest pride at what a centtu'v has accomplish- ed. The smallest, except fifteen, of the one hundred and nineteen counties in ihe state, with an area of only 158 square miles, it has always maintained a prominent place among the rich and large agricultural ccjunties. I'^or its population it is surpassed in it as of wealth b_\- only a very few cotinties, and ranks one the great producing counties of I\entucky. Its land, per acre, has always, for taxation, been valued at a very high rate. In 1846 It was the sixth county in value of lands per acre, and in 1870, notwithstanding the great cities in other counties, it stood ninth : and still maintains that place. Led by the guiding liand of fate to make mv home in the greatest of all Kentucky's cotmties. Jefferson, I have never lost love for and its Nicholasville and my Jessamine, capital citv, ; oftentimes there creeps into m)' heart a longing to spend the evening of life wb.ere 1 first saw the light, and an absence of thir- ty-seven }-ears, has neither destroyed nor dimmed my love for the ]:)eople who juive always remembered me in my comings to the old liome i)lace, with such generous hospitalit\' and unchanging kindness. Xo one else offering to write a history of the county, I have tmdertaken the task. The work has been done hurriedlv and Prefftcp. 9 uliile under ilie pressure of a l)usy professional life; but it is a labor of love, and if the story of the sacrifices, courage, and patri- otism of our forefathers who settled and organized the county. shall be efficient in creating upon the present and future sons and daughters of Jessamine higher love (jf their ancestors, great de- votion to Kentucky, and better aj)prehension of the cost and vakie of the freedom of our country, I shall be more than repaid for the labor and cost of ])roducing this voliune. It does not contain all that a history of the county should include, but it does for the first time \n\i in ])ermanent form ilie leading facts connected with the organization of the county and accounts of the men who first cut down the forests, grubbed the cane brakes and drove out the savages who (lis|mted its possession, and it will, at least be a help to those who may hereafter desire to write a more extended his- tory of Jessamine and of its people. Mr. S. M. Duncan, of Xicholasville. has for more than forty years been gathering notes of the history of the people who have lived in Jessamine. He has done more for the preservation of its history than any one man who ever lived in the county. He has generously given me the tise of all his facts. 1 have bv research gotten others and verified his. and J have, as is his just due, placed his name upon the title page of this book as associate author. Although the preparation and ptiblication was assumed by me. I consider it both a privilege and a duty to thus connect Mr. Duncan with the first history of the couiU}-.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXV DECEMBER, 1929 NUMBER4 The Burr Conspiracy In Indiana* By ISAACJ. Cox Indiana in the days of the Burr Conspiracy embraced a much larger area than today-at least technically. It extend- ed westward from the boundary of the recently-created state of Ohio to the Mississippi. The white settlements within this area were, it is true, few and scattering. The occasional clearings within the forests were almost wholly occupied by Indians slowly receding before the advance of a civilization that was too powerful for them. But sparse as was the popu- lation of the frontier territory when first created, its infini- tesimal average per square mile had been greatly lowered in 1804, for Congress had bestowed upon its governor the ad- ministration of that part of Louisiana that lay above the thirty-third parallel. As thus constituted, it was a region of boundless aspira- tions-a fitting stage for two distinguished travelers who journeyed through it the following year. Within its extended confines near the mouth of the Ohio lay Fort Massac, where in June, '1805, Burr held his mysterious interview with Wilkinson,' and also the cluster of French settlements from which William Morrison, the year before, had attempted to open trading relations with Santa Fe2-a project in which Wilkinson was to follow him. It was here that Willrinson, the second of this sinister pair, received from his predecessor a letter warning him against political factions in his new juris- diction.a By this act Governor Harrison emphasized not only his own personal experiences, but also the essential connection of the area with Hoosierdom.

Younger per- sons who heard him not, nor saw him while living, have learned much of him through his numerous biog- raphers and from the mouths of others who did know him. Most that has been known of him, however, by either the living or the dead, has concerned his political career. For the purpose of securing votes for him among the masses in his candidacy for different offices he has been represented by his biographers as being of lowly origin in the midst of impecunious surroundings. Such, however, was not the condition of his early life. He was of gentle birth, with parents on both sides possessing not only valuable landed estates and numer- ous slaves, but occupying high social positions.

YOUNG Member of The Filson Club LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY JOHN P. MORTON AND COMPANY 1'rinten m 111~ riton ~tu 1903 OOPYIDGHTED BY THE FILSON CLUB 1903 PREFACE N the year 1780 the battle of King's Mountain was I won by colonial backwoodsmen in the midst of con­ ditions not unlike those of 1813, when Kentuckians won the battle of the Thames. The disasters which befell the Americans before both of these battles filled the public mind with a despondency which hung like a funeral pall over sorrowing patriotism. Isaac Shelby, the first and the sixth governor of Kentucky, was a leader in both of these battles, and the antecedents, the surroundings, and the consequences of each of them were· as like as his com­ manding person in both. Before the battle of King's Mountain the outlook for the Americans, especially in the South, was through thick gloom. Gates, with the glory of Saratoga blazing upon him, had suffered a disastrous defeat at Camden. Sevier, who was supposed to be always upon his guard, was sur­ prised at Fishing Creek. But worst of all Lincoln, after failing to recover Savannah, had lost Charleston at the end of a long and distressful siege.

  • 1 Failed Filibusters: the Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy And
    Failed Filibusters: The Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy and Early American Expansion Francis D. Cogliano In January 1803 the Congressional committee which considered the appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase observed baldly, “it must be seen that the possession of New Orleans and the Floridas will not only be required for the convenience of the United States, but will be demanded by their most imperious necessities.”1 The United States claimed that West Florida, which stretched south of the 31st parallel from the Mississippi River in the west to the Apalachicola River in the east (roughly the modern state of Louisiana east of the Mississippi, and the Gulf coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, and the western portion of the Florida panhandle) was included in the Louisiana Purchase, a claim denied by the Spanish. The American claim was spurious but the intent behind it was clear. The United States desired control of West Florida so that the residents of the Mississippi Territory could have access to the Gulf of Mexico. Since the American Revolution the region had been settled by Spaniards, French creoles and Anglo-American loyalists. Beginning in the 1790s thousands of emigrants from the United States migrated to the territory, attracted by a generous system of Spanish land grants. An 1803 American government report described the population around Baton Rouge as “composed partly of Acadians, a very few French, and great majority of Americans.” During the first decade of the nineteenth century West Florida became increasingly unstable. In addition to lawful migrants, the region attracted lawless adventurers, including deserters from the United States army and navy, many of whom fled from the nearby territories of Louisiana and Mississippi.2 1 Annals of Congress, 7th Cong.
