This issue of The LOllghllnler marks my first official work as editor. It will be difficult following after Dave and Sue Evan ~ as editors. They did a wonderful job and I hope that eventually I will be able to measure to their standards.

1 have a goal as editor which 1 did not quite measure to with this issue. 1 want to include articles on every one of our service counties in every issue. In addition, 1 want to make available Bible records and rare documents that have not been accessible in the past. Please help by submitting unpublished letters or diaries of historical or genealogical interest, unpublished Bibles, articles on your family, cemetery transcriptions, articles which illuminate the social history of the past, or articles on the history of our area or its pioneers. We can get this information into print and make it accessible to our members and others. In addition, by sharing we can all keep our precious records safe from destruction and loss.

The recent tornadoes in Tennessee and particularly those which wiped out the downtown area of Clarksville should make us realize that nothing kept in a single place is safe. Even though the older records in that courthouse were not destroyed, the fTagile nature of original documents and their safety was brought to mind. Please get your original materials and compiled records out of your closets and from under your beds and make copies and share them. That is the only way to keep them safe.

Gail Miller February I, 1999

We now have the capacity to include old photographs in The LOllghlllller. Laser copies scan nicely. Perhaps you have older group or school shots which would be of general interest. Identify tftose that you can; perhaps others can help with unidentified individuals.

2 THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXII, ISSUE I Court Day in Kentucky

From Pattie French Witherspoon, "Court Day in Kentucky," in Through Two Administrations, Character Sketches of Kentucky (Chicago, T. B. Arnold, Publisher, 1897), pp. 60-70.

Often your genealogical research on an ancestor will include dates ofparti cular land transactions or service on a jury. When these do not include genealogical information, they are often ignored because of the seeming lack of information on the ancestor that is provided However, many of these business or legal transactions probably occurred on County COllrt Day. An understanding of the importance of COI!."t Day as a social occasion might give life to these seemingly dry dates

Court day is a great event in a small Kentucky town, and stands third on the calender of social epochs, giving precedence only to circus and election days. It is a great commercial rally and the men are truly on 'change all day. On Court day the Kentuckian is willing to exchange, or swap, everything he owns from his bluegrass farm to his jack-knife. One can trade extensively on court day without having a cent of money; the only currency he need have is a young filly or a foxhound . Dogs are legal tender in Kentucky. The story is told of a clever young countryman who, without a penny started to town early one morning on court day, walking and leading by a string a pair of well-matched foxhounds. Late in the evening he returned home in state, riding a frisky "two-year-old," with sugar and coffee in the saddlebags for his family. In explaining the situation to his admiring neighbors, he exclaimed, "Yer see its all er-Iong uv my bein ' sich er dog-gored good jedge uv er anermule." This expression was intentionally comprehensive, and doubtless had reference to certain weak specimens of the human fam il y that had fallen into the clutches of the wily trader. Early in the morning "bunches" of fat cattle come in on all the roads leading to the village, walking slowly and with becoming dignity, as if they were conscious of the favoritism extended to them by their masters. The proud Roman, who reviewed the trophies and victims of his late conquests as he passed beneath the triumphal arches erected in his honor, was not more elated than is out Kentucky Cincinnatus, when he drives up court day his herd of one hundred sleek, fat thoroughbreds. Following the cattle come droves of fat hogs that toi l laboriously over the stones, burdened by the weight of their great flesh . The dissonant ringing of cracked bells announces the approach of a flock of sheep. They hasten to do the bidding of an imperious shepherd dog, that trots by the ranks with sedate dignity, like a commanding officer reviewing his troops. Now and then they

3 THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXII, ISSUE 1 bleat piteously for the green meadow and shadowed brook they have left behind forever. Last of all come herds of men and dogs; the faithful animals follow their masters' lead dutifully, eager to catch the gossip about the last fox hunt, and equally eager to scent out the probable date of the next one. It is considered not quite proper for women to appear on the crowded thoroughfares court day. The streets are often very muddy from the unusual trampling and splashing made by the stock in their recent importation, and besides that, the men and horses claim the honor of representing the State for the day. Occasionally a country housewife is smuggled through the ranks in a closed vehicle to exchange her butter and eggs for coal-oil and prints. She usually has an eye, if not a hand, on "pa" all day, and often keeps that gentleman from intemperate measures. In the afternoon she has the melancholy satisfaction of driving "pa" home in a state of only semi intoxication, whereas she looks about her and sees poor Mary Ellen's husband reeling, and riding with his face toward his horse' s tail, and the poor thing congratulates herselftbat her "pa ain 't tbat bad off" Court day affords a fine circulating me.dium for candidates, quack doctors and other humanitarians. On one street comer the tooth doctor who extracts teeth without pain holds forth to a crowd of inquisitive Negroes, who in turn hold their broad palms over their jaws with jealous care, lest the oil-tongued doctor conjure their sound "chawers" whether or no. On the public square in front of the court house the patent medicine man stands in his wagon, that is drawn by four white horse, in stentorian voice sets forth the virtues of King Cure All. Tbe country men push and figbt tbeir way through the crowd savagely, for fear the medicine will give out before tbey get a cbance at it. In the midst of it all comes tbe minstrels' band; tbe horses bow tbeir necks and prance the "Jockey's Minuet," and the whole town presents the appearance ofa fairground. The street urchin is almost driven to desperation by the conflicting attractions. He darts bere and there between the horses' legs and wishes devoutly he could be five boys on court day instead of one. He thinks it isn't fair that everything nice and funny should come on court day anybow, wben often between times he is forced to tease his favorites for whole days at a time just to get up the enlivening interest of a dog fight. Tht; village papers feed on the material court day affords them for a month afterwards, until another court day. The shopkeepers run to their doors every few minutes during the day, to see "what's goin' on," and in tbeir absence the shop-lifters---wbo came up from the city "to do" the town, along with the tooth doctor and the patent medicine man --empty their cash drawers at their leisure. Tbe farmer tells his wife wben he lights his pipe in the evening, "The streets was that crowded, jess, it' s er good thing you and ther children wasn't thar, court day ain't no fit'n time fur women folk ter be draggin' roun' town nohow."

4 THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXIl, ISSUE I

The agent from the city, who went up to collect a few debts, exclaims with a yawn as he steps upon his return train, "The country wasn't as lonesome as I expected to find it." On court day the merchant drapes his windows with his gaudiest colors, and generally makes it a point to work off old goods at high prices, because he knows the men are delegated to do the shopping. But poor John often loses the sample he is to match and forgets the number of thread he must buy before he gets outside of the barn lot. When he arrives at the town he enters the little dry-goods store and tries to describe to the smiling clerk the kind of dress Mary Ann is making that lacks just enough for the sleeve:;. He concludes his vague description with the expression, "It' s a kind of flowered tweed, I think." The clerk is slightly puzzled; the accommodating proprietor comes to the rescue, and sends his subordinate to wait on a lady. He pulls down two-thirds of his stock, and throws the heavy bolts on the counter with great pride and calm assurance, which mean in substance, "If you can 't find it there, sir, it ' s not to be had in this country." They together go over the goods carefully and patiently, but poor John finds no shade in his mind' s eye that corresponds to the prismatic colors on the counter. At last the merchant, determined not to show how very limited his stock is, exclaims," I've nothing in the house today that corresponds to your description, sir. It will probably be in next week though, in fact I'm looking for that very article on every train. Good morning, sir; call again, and bring your wife. The disappointed purchasing agent leaves the store and forgets his errand. Late in the afternoon, after he has made some very good or very bad trades, and has celebrated the same in a convivial treat, (the remedy is alike in both cases), John orders his horse and starts home. Suddenly the vision of Mary Ann, standing in the doorway demanding her sleeves, confronts him; he turns his horse's head once more toward the village. When he enters tbe store he sees a bolt of light green silk, slightly mildewed, that has been left on the counter; he admires it, and asks the price for it . As the customer is a man, the shrewd merchant prices the goods to him at only (great stress on the last word), one dollar per yard, that being at least double the amount he would dare charge any woman. Poor John thinks it is a great bargain; he buys ten yards of it and three spools of red thread, and pays for it like a little man---on credit. He is so pleased with his bargain he buys a bundle of red candy for the children and wraps it all up in one package, to run together harmoniously. He carries the green silk home in triumph, to make the sleeves for poor Mary Ann 's navy blue calico dress. By all odds the most important event on this memorable day is the court day dinner given by the women for the benefit of some church or society. They do not advertise their feast, nor do they employ a town-crier to proclaim it on the streets; this fair syndicate knows there is no

5 THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME xxn, ISSUE I

necessity of incurring either expense. In Kentucky all who are not related to each other are in love with one another, and so everybody is interested in everything. At noon the all-pervasive aroma of boiling coffee and the insinuating suggestion of roast turkey tloat out upon the frosty air and remind the men that it must be almost dinner time. Soon the fair maids decide they will attempt something in the way of illustrating, in personis. Adorned in dainty muslin caps and aprons, that enhance their coquetry, and holding cupid painted waiters mockingly in front of their hearts, they pose before big plate glass windows. Then the men know it is dinner time, and they tlock to the dinner room in large numbers. A burley old farmer from way down in the "neck" enters the room and stands awkwardly on one foot waiting for directions. He wears an overcoat that is green with age rather than youth, his pants are stuffed in long buskins, an old beaver cap stopping just short of his shaggy eyebrows completes his rustic costume. At last he is shown to a place next a young gentleman who is a la mode, from eyeglasses to oxfords. The old farmer takes his chair and his neighbor's appetite at the same time; the latter makes a great show of sucking an olive in his fingers, and presently leaves the table in deep disgust because the old farmer is actually cutting his meat with a knife The man who has just come in---followed by half a dozen comrades who are sticking very close to him just now---is the big-hearted candidate who is bringing in some jolly tloaters at his own charges. It is not quite proper to speculate on futures at a church entertainment, but the sanguine candidate thinks he has his men, or will have them before the day is over. And now the young lawyer saunters in with a toothpick in his mouth, as who should say, "I've had my dinner, ladies and gentlemen, but I am so full of public spirit I'm willing to make another effort for the benefit of society at large. I want it distinctly understood, however, that mine is a benefit and no personal gratification." When the lawyer begins to eat he discovers that cheese and crackers do not render a man altogether insensible to table comforts. That young man with hungry eyes and nervous manner is the editor; he throws down his last fifty cents with affected indifference, and says hurriedly, "No, thank you, madam, I haven't time to eat, I just dropped in to take a few notes." He continues the argument mentally. "It would be fatal to my reputation as a poet to eat in such a crowd; the people must be made to believe that I feed on classic lore." Alas l for the editor; his healthy old appetite gets the better of his morbid young theories, and he is soon eating with the rest. He chooses the daintiest viands however, and tries to prove that his taste is epicurean enough to be classic. The room is rapidly filling. the clatter of di shes, the hum of voices, the chinking of coin almost intoxicates the fair doorkeeper. In her vivid imagination she fancies she can see the old debts flying away on the tails of little silver kites.

6 THE LONGHUNTER, VO LUME XXJ], ISSUE I Kentucky Historical References to Some Stations of Old Kentucky Submitted by Bud Thomas 61 Badger Road Kite, GA 31049

Many settlements of old Kentucky were labeled as "Stations" by the populace. Actually, they served the dual purpose of residence and miniature fort, built to help stave off Indians in case of attack. Many of these Statio ns were occupied by multiple fami lies and were often named after the leader of the group.

Below is the first of a series oflistings of many of these Stations and, where known, a location and/or brief narrative. Taken from many sources, they are thought to represent the largest single listing of early Kentucky Stations, anywhere.

"Being raised in a section of the country were life of the Union man was constantly in jeopardy from the heartless guerrillas, many of the members of this organization had private grievances to correct that may have led them to commit excesses upon those recent Kentuckians who fostered the guerrillas and pointed out their homes for destruction. Still their services were efficient and appreciated by the Government they had sworn to defend." "In the many fights and skirmishes in which it engaged, the bearing of both officers and men sustained the gallant record so bravely won by all Kentucky troops during the Rebellion."

It was mustered out at Bowling Green, KY, January and March 1865.

29 THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXD, ISSUE I DOs and DON'Ts for Query Letters

Perhaps the first rule of successful correspondence is this----Put yourself in the place of the person to whom the letter is being sent. The type of letter should be determined by the recipient of the letter. A letter to a well-loved relative would be more personal than a letter to a courthouse clerk. Nevertheless, certain rules of correspondence apply to all query letters. Here are a dozen DOs and DO 'Ts that add up to courtesy and common sense when sending out query letters.

6 DOs I. Do type your letter whenever possible. Make sure to include your address on the letter. Use a new printer ribbon. 2. Do your homework before you write. An short, intelligent letter which addresses specific questions will be more likely to get a response. 3. Do give specific names, relationships, dates, and places. Mention different spellings of names and/or places. 4. Do make your letter easy to read and easy to answer. If you are asking for several items, number your requests. 5. Do be courteous. Ask for the assistance of the person to whom you are writing. 6. Do enclose a self-addressed. stamped envelope, and pay a reasonable fee to clerks or share information and pictures with relatives.

6 DON'Ts I. Don't ask impossible general questions. Be short and specific about what you want. Asking a person who has been active in genealogy for years to send you a copy of "everything they have" is unreasonable, possibly requiring weeks of photocopying. 2. Don't present information as fact without clear evidence. Cite your sources. 3. Don't leave out important information just because it is familiar to you. Your letter should be carefully planned to make the most sense in the shortest amount of space. 4. Don't forget to consider that all persons and places are duplicated by name elsewhere. Don't be arrogant in stating your assumptions. 5. Don't forget to say where else you have looked, and who else has looked at your problem for you. This would be unnecessary when writing to a courthouse clerk. 6. Don't forget to thank your correspondent for any help that may have been provided, and ask for a referral to others who may be able to give you further assistance.
