The Societyhas reprinted —for the fourth or fifthtime —the always popular book "The Times of Long Ago" by Franklin Gorin, the first white child bom in Barren County. His account of early county people, places and events is a valuable and unique reference to our early history.
The book has been retyped for a clearer, more easily readable page. A six-page biographical sketch of Franklin Gorin, done by Ray Gorin, has been added, and a new thirty-page complete index by Lewis Gorin has also been added.
Gorin's book is another of our Bicentennialefforts. The 182 page hardbound book sells for $12, with a $2 postage and handling fee, and can be ordered directly from the Society— as can be the cemetery book. "TRACES" OF SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY

With help from our members we can continue to bring valuable information to all our members. ,W / i OUR SOCIETY HAS DONE IT!!I!I As a Kentucky Bicentennial project, we decided to publish to-date single volume cemetery record of Barren County. have been three cemetery records done in the past unpublished manuscript done about 1950 by the Barren County Homemakers, and two volumes by Eva Coe Peden. The project took over two years to complete, with contributions from many people. Kenneth Beard, the BIG contributor, sighted most of the cemeteries recorded here, and he wrote the computer program for the book, feeding in the information as received. Another nice feature he added was the mapping of the larger cemeteries.
This will be a very useful research tool for people with Barren County roots, and will be of help to other societies and 1 ibraries.
County Cemeteries is 8 1/2 x 11, hard bound, 528 pages with an additional 18 pages of surname index. There are 32,915 names listed, and 612 cemeteries recorded. The cost of the book is only $25, due to the in-kind contribution of many hours of work by many people, and by a geneerous grant from the Kentucky Bicentennial Commission.

"FOUNTAIN RUN" ESTABLISHED TOWN ESTABLISHED - JAMES TOWN Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky, Order Book 4 - Page 288. Nov 1816, Barren County Court. Submited by Gladys B Wilson, Glasgow, Ky. On application of Jacob Goodman Sr & it appearing to the Satisfaction of the Court that notice has been given at the Courthouse door two months & published in an authorized newspaper twice a month for three Months successively previous to this application, it is Ordered that the title of fifty Acres of Land in Barren County on which a Town is proposed to be established, now Owned by said Goodman & the same when laid off shall be vested in Walter Caruth, Wm Kerr, Josiah Short, John Austin & Lanmon Short, Trustees of said Town established as aforesaid be Known by the name of JAMES TOWN -
Whereupon it is Ordered that the said Jacob Goodman Sr entered into bond with Wm Moore, John Austin & Lanmon Short in the sum of one thousand pounds Conditioned as the Law directs.
It is not known to this writer at this time the exact date, nor the specific reason for re-naming the town James Town, to
33 Fountain Run. It is known, however, that the town is still lovingly called, at times, "Jim-Town". While researching the Masonic history of my grand-father Georgo Samuel Dyson, who was three times the Master of Loving Lodge No 323, F&AM of the Grand Chapter of Kentucky, in Fountain Run, Monroe Co., Ky•, in 1890, 1891 & 1894, I found in Kentucky Grand Chapter records of October 1882, that he was listed as a Senior Deacon in Loving Lodge No 323, in Jamestown, Monroe Co., Ky. By this, I assume that the name was changed between Oct 1882 and Oct 1883. The counties of Allen, Barren and Monroe join in a triangle, with Fountain Run being a very short distance in Monroe County, and also, a very short distance at that point from both Allen and Barren Counties. As Allen was created in 1815 from part of Barren; and Monroe created in 182Q from part of Barren, the court recordings of deeds, marriages, probate records, and such trans actions, of a particular family could very well be in three different counties, and two different town names, yet the resi dence in the same spot all the time. It would be wise for the researcher to bear this in mind, when unable to find a particular record in one of these count ies, for these margin dates. ****

35 A sketch of the life ^ CHARACTER OF JOHN C McFERRAN. Esq. Bv ru_s Pastor Friend, TT Eaton. Louisville, KY, 1886.
PART 1 There is nothing in history more remarkable than the persis- tence of certain characteristics in nations and families. With all the differences which make no two individuals alike, either in feature or in character, there are certain distinguishing characteristics which mark a race through successive generations; and if at any time there is a marked change in the qualities of a race, it is because they have adopted a new religion or have been intermixed with other people. There is no race which shows its characteristics more distinctly than the Scotch; Cromwell builded for the world better than he knew when he transplanted Scotchmen to the soil of Ire land. The more genial climate and the more fertile soil removing the necessity for an unceasing struggle for bare subsistnce, the hardness and narrowness necessary for existence in their own land were charged into generosity and hospitality. Their truth and bravery, their business capacity and their devotion to principle, remained unchanged; so there is no better blood than the Scotch- Irish to be found on the earth. Wherever that people are found they are known by these leading characteristics: truth, bravery, devotion to principle, and business capacity, inherited from their race in Scotland, and warm-hearted generosity and hospi tality, due to their living in Ireland. Find them where you may, you will find them among the leading citizens, whether as farmers, merchants, statesmen, soldiers, or preachers. In the field, the Scotch-Irish gave our land Stonewall Jackson; in the cabinet, John C Calhoun; in the pulpit, John Hall. Every where that blood means ability, integrity, and devotion to principle. People of this race may be wrong in their principles, like other men, but they are sure to believe them earnestly and maintain them unflinchingly. To attempt to move them from what they believe is right would be like attempting to move the Grampian Hi 1 Is. It was from this race that James C McFerran sprang, and the persistence of the characteristics of the race is shown in his ancestors and in him. His great-grandfather, with two brothers, came from the North of Ireland and settled in Botetourt County, Virginia. Many a stirring story of those early days has been told to the succes sive generations. There is at Glenview a pewter plate, pierced by a bullet, which has come down from the early colonial times, and whose history is full of interest. While the men were off in the fields at work, the Indians attacked and burned the grandfather's house. They found two of his sons in the field, killed one and carricd the other away captive. The father and neighbors pursued and overtook the Indians. In the fight that followed one of the Indians held up this pewter plate, which had been stolen from the
36 house, as a shield, but the rifle-ball went through the place and kiI led the Indian.
John McFerran, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born six miles from Fincastle, in Botetourt County, Virginia. In the year 1791 he married Miss Annie Rowlands and removed to Kentucky along with his brother-in-law, Andrew Steel, who had married his sister Patsey. First they settled at Logan's Fort, near the present town of Stanford, so that they might have the protection of the fort against the Indians. There they lived four years, and there Judge William R McFerran was born. The family, with some friends, then moved to Barren County, near Glasgow. It is difficult to realize the great changes which have been wrought in our State during the lifetime of a single generation. It is a question for the future to solve whether the changes which have made life ,more comfortable will result in developing as brave and self-reliant characters as did those pioneer days. When they first reached their new place of sesttlement, John McFerran and James Forbes together built what was called a "half- faced camp," which consisted of three walls of logs, with the front entirely open, A large fire was built in front, serving the purpose of a guard against wild beasts at night, as well as of warming the campers and cooking their food. So soon as it was practicable, a cabin was built for each family. At the first court ever held in Barren County was held in John McFerran's cabin. There were no roads, but only trails through the forest, and on such a trail the settlers were obliged to carry their grain eighty miles to Rolling Fork, where was the nearest mill. When, for any cause, the men could not go to mill, and meal was needed Mrs McFerran and Mrs Forbes would beat the corn with a pestle in a large block hollowed out by fire. The Scotch-Irish ingenuity of these women showed itself in their arranging a "sweep" to work the pestle, and thus save their strength. No article of merchan dise, not even salt, could be had without going ninety miles to ShepherdsviIle, through an inhospitable region, infested with still more inhospitable savages. To get a winter's supply of meat, Messrs McFerran, Forbes, and Bell once went with nine horses to the Cumberland Mountains, and brought home as much bear meat, the bones having been removed to lighten the weight, as their horses could carry.
But the energy and industry of John McFerran soon showed themselves in improved conditions of living. He was a superior farmer, and his care and energy soon made him what was regarded as wealthy in that day and region. His cabin was replaced by a two-story brick house, the magnificence of which was the marvel of the region, and it was soon known far and wide as the "White House." He was proverbially brave, kind and generous. The confi dence of his fellow citizens in him was proved by their electing him sheriff, which was then, perhaps, the most important office in the gift of the people. It was no child's play to go over a
37 county eighty miles long and without roads to arrest nen, each of whom carried a rifle and was a sure shot. And it speaks volumes for his perfect fairness and sense of justice that, although he unflinchingly executed the law, he yet held the affection of even those who broke the law. Imprisonment for debt was then legal, and on one occasion his deputy reported to him that a certain jailer, who owed a debt he would not pay, could not be im prisoned. Promptly Mr McFerran went after the recalitrant jailer, and soon had him locked up in one of his own cells.
But this brave, steadfast man, who feared God and feared nothing else, was as tender and loving as brave and true men always are. His devotion to his mother was simply beautiful. He had a large family - there were ten children - James C being the youngest. Between the duties of his sheriff's office and the demands of his farm, his life was a busy one. And yet, despite all his cares and labors, he went on horseback over the mountains to Virginia to see his mother once every year so long as she lived. A whole volume could not show the loving heart and reverent soul of the man more clearly than does this one fact of his annual visit to his mother in the face of such difficulties. And this same filial devotion is seen in his children and grandchildren. Although Mr James C McFerran lost his mother at five years of age, such was the intensity of his devotion to her, that he has ever tenderly cherished her memory, and after he was seventy years old he said of her, "She has been an inspiration to me all my life through."
James C McFerran was born in the old homestead, near Glas gow, September 14, 1812. At the age of five, as has just been mentioned, he lost his mother, and when he reached ten years his father's property was swept away to pay security debts. It was probable that he could have worked his way through these debts had he been able to look after his business affairs, but just at the critical time he was confined to his bed three years with rheumatism. The inflexible integrity of the man and his clear sense of honor show themselves in one incident that occurred about this time. At his request several of his neighbors had joined him in becoming security for a note on which suit had been brought. When the creditor refused to allow the sick man time to recover and make an effort to save his property, he sent for those who had joined him in the security and told them he would not allow them to lose a cent, since they had signed their names at his request. In such a forced sale of course his property was sold at great sacrifice. At the time of the sale he was prostrate with his disease, and even the bed under him was sold for one dollar and a quarter. When every thing had been struck off he turned to the officer and asked, "Have you got enough to pay the debt? if not, there hand my clothes."
But all the neighbors were not like the skinflint who re- fused time to a sick man of such well-known integrity and energy. They loved and honored him, and showed their feelings by buying
38 what they could and giving it back to the family. Some time before Mr John McFerran had given a sick colt to his little son James C, telling him that if he could save it he might have it. When this colt, now in good condition from his care, was put up for sale the boy cried. His tears touched the warm heart of Wm Logan who said, "Jimmie, they shan't take your pony away from you." and then bid it in and gave it to the boy. This was the first piece of horseflesh James C McFerran ever owned. For years afterward this colt, Dinah, was his saddle-horse as he rode with his father all over the county, aiding him in his official duties. Stephen Logan bought nine pigs and gave them to the boy also. As James C McFerran, on that memorable day, stood and saw the home sold over the bed of his sick father, he resolved, if ever he got able, to buy and own that place. In the after years this resolution was carried into effect, and the old homestead is part of the large estate of Mr McFerran left at his recent death.
When Mr John McFerran recovered from his sickness he went to Chameleon Springs and improved some land, but soon returned to his old neighborhood and went bravely to work on rented land to recover his fortunes. He was made constable, and his neighbors showed their love by giving him all their business. One by one the children married, until only James C, the youngest, was left with the father. The same noble qualities which caused the father to be loved and honored, those leading characteristics of the race from which they sprang, showed themselves in all the children, and in a very marked dgree in the youngest son. When, in after years, he was asked the secret of his success, he replied, "I never learned to say, can't." He might have added, that from his youth up he had done with his might what his hand found to do, braveley and cheerfully.
When the father returned and rented land where he had once been a wealthy land-owner, James worked hard at the crops, and rode around with his father as he went about his official duties. Boy though he was, he was of great assistance to his father, particularly in hunting up men. His father's pride in his faithfulness and abilities was the reward for doing what, in this day, would be considered work for two men. And it was the reward of all others which most delighted the son. In addition to his other work, James cut and hauled wood to Glasgow, where he sold it for one dollar a cord, and thus he earned money to buy his first suit of "Sunday clothes," and a fine (for that day) saddle and bridle for church-going, without which his Sunday's outfit would have been by no means complete. All his clothes before this time had been spun and woven by his sisters, who, previous to their marriages, had thus made clothes for the entire family. New fasions did not trouble them.

OLD RECORD BOOK IS STORY OF OLD TIMES Glasgow Times 31 May 1945 ^interesting relic of the past which had been b^ JoL q surveyors notebook, dating back to 184S, kept NohoK r u earliest settlers around the head of NewtonNewtL Ar Pedigo,P ofp Summer Shade,P'-eservedwho showedby his Itgreat-grandson,to Clayton C Simmons to assist him in his historical records of that section of the county from which this account is taken. perfect that it seems^ incrediblequill, thatthe itletteringwas doneisbyso hand.exact Tradiand tion says that he was of aristocratic English stock and possessed Habituallyu K-f "f. dignifiededucationand impressive,than the averageit is saidpioneerthat hisof hisconstantday. reserve made him difficult to approach and he formed but a few intimate friends.
Besides early surveying records, the book contains several pages of rules for "laying off new lands" and forms of all type
45 of legal warrants from disciplining a "tipping house" to "appre hending criminals," such as would come under the jurisdiction of a magistrate of that day, in which capacity he also served. Most interesting in his brief authobiography, also included in the book, which gives a description of the otten-tragic, always perilous long travels made by the early pioneers into Kentucky.
Without change, we reproduce it to his own style of writing: "I was bred and born in the State of Virginia and County of Lunenburg (on the 10th day of Jany 1777) I was born. On the 28th day of Oct 1795, I left Virginia and started to Kentucky in Company with 3 families (Viz) Mr John Dixon's, Curtis Bandy's and my Fathers, we traveled on very well till we came to the Allegany Mountains, which was the 18th day of November following, the weather and roads being so bad we made a conclusion to leave our waggons and pack what plunder we had over the Mountains to the River (Monongalale) and left in care of Mr John Hagan some that were sick, with the waggons, etc., and accordingly on the 22nd day of Dec ensuring we all got to the River (except one of Mr Dixon's little negroes which died at said Hagans.) The river being so cold and the weather so cold we concluded to stay here till early in the spring, and in the course of the winter my Father had a little negro die. We made between four and five hundred pounds weight of sugar. On the 18th day of March 1796 we set sail down the river and landed at one Mr Brooks' just above Limestone on the bank of the Ohio river in Kentucky on the 30th of said month (March), Thomas Hardy, son of Curtis Hardy died at this place. Thence we went on to Madison county. We landed or got there on the 6th day of April ensuing and rented a plantation of one Mr John Denham, 1797. Rented a plantation of Mr Phillip Turner and made a crop in Madison county."
"1798 on the 1st day of Feby I started to Gren County and made a crop on head right Tract of land of my fathers on Glovers Creek waters of Big Barren River, I bought 200 acres of land on the East Fork, of said Barren River (head right also) and on June following I returned to my fathers in Madison, and on Tuesday the 10th day of July ensuing I was married to Susaneh Tuder. Thence I moved on the 27th day of Sept to my crop on Glovers Creek thence to my place on the East fork on the 22nd day of Jany 1799. Thence to Cumberland on a plantation of my Fathers the 14th day of Feby 1800. I bought me a pice in said County of Cumberland and mov'd to it in Oct ensuing. Thence to Barren County the 20th day of Nov 1805."
Mr Simmons reminded that there are two Glovers Creeks in Barren County. The one referred to appears that in the southern part of the county which flows into Big Barren river some four or five miles west of Fountain Run.
Those listed in his book for whom he surveyed lands included Hezekiah Jackson, Thomas Lincoln, (the Thomas Lincoln who was claimed by some historians as possibly being the father of Abra ham Lincoln, but such claims have never been proven), Joshua Embree, Orsorne Bland, Mose Kirkpatrick, Jesse Roberts, Jessie
46 Hill, Moses Davis, John Bedford, Ephraim Dicken, Jesse Gee, John S Gee, Abraham Engart, Benjamin Halsil, Charnall Glassrock and T NeviIs.
Of still more interst are the names of those who acted as chain bearers in making the surveys for they were probably picked from among those already settled in this locatioty. They were John Jackson, Joseph Matthews, Robert Matthews, John Smith, Warren Bland, William Kirkpatrick, Thomas Ray, John Story, Archi bald Roberts, Joshia Davis, Charles Simmons, John Engart, Josiah Black, Mathew Teamhorn, T Sconce, F Watson, William Sprouls, Alexander Sprouls, Lemuel Jones, John Enghart, Jr, Isaac Rob- berds, Peter Stephens, T Halsil, B Halsil, H Oneal and M Biffffer- staff.
In his own history is it interesting to note that before he got married he came down and started his crop, for without a crop, in those days the pioneer had little likihood of pulling thru the winter.

She married January 14, 1813, in Franklin County, Virginia, Samuel Franklin Harrison, and was dead (or divorced) by 1826. Her descendants are listed under the Harrison family. NOTE: I have found nothing to indicate that she and Samuel F. were divorced, but there is a Lucy Harrison summoned in the settlement of Allen Bradshaw, and no other seems to fit. Also, the wording of Peggy Harrison's will leaves some doubt in my mind.

Lot was living with his brother, Allen Bradshaw, and Elizabeth was living with her father. I know definitely of only one child of Lott and Elizabeth: 1. Virgin Mary Bradshaw, born ca 1834, married ca 1848, Josiah Powell, son of Thomas and Essenith (Tinsley) Powell.

CIVIL WAR INCIDENTS
As told by the father and mother of Oren A Beatty, MD, contribu tor :
In the past few years we had a television series on the history of the Civil War. This was such a traumatic war that most people then living and succeeding generations were touched by lack of full integration of the blacks in all aspects of our social, civil and economic structure. This report deals with what happened in Albert Huffman's family. Albert was my grandfather, and he lived in Barrren County between Nobob and Summer Shade.
Albert had very fine horses, but horses were needly badly. During the War horses were sometimes appropriated by passing soldiers - Confederate or Union. To avoid this happening he would take his horses early in the morning and hitch them in the sour- wood thicket.
58 Not only was Albert Huffman a farmer but also a cabinet maker. He made many caskets for the surrounding population. One day during the War a man from Summer Shade by the name of Grin- stead brought in a wagon a dead soldier for burial. He was very nervous and wanted a casket made right away, and this was done- He asked permission to bury him in his family cemetery. This was given. They were in such a hurry that they dug a shallow grave. Also they did not remove a gold watch and chain which he wore. Albert Huffman did not know the soldier's name or address. Mr Grinstead ws a strong Southern sympathizer and was a relative of the Grinstead, a former mayor of Louisville. The corpse was a Union soldier. No known investigation was made. My father, Alexander Beatty, came from Clinton County to Barren County about 188Q. The area around Clinton and adjoining portions of Tennesse experienced guerilla warfare. As a result many lost their lives. My grandfather, Jefferson Beaty, and his father, Abner Beaty, had different Civil War experiences due to the guerilla warfare waged by Champ Ferguson who was notorious Southern sympathizer. My grandfather, Jefferson, and great grandfather, Abner, were Union sympathizers. All the other many Beatys were Confederate sympathizers.
Champ Ferguson and his followers, who had a record of killing about one hundred men during the Civil War, came by Jehu Beaty's home and announced that he was on his way to the homes of Abner and Jefferson Beaty. Jehu was Abner's brother. Jehu's wife took a short cut and went over Jenny's Knob to their homes and notified them that Champ and his gang were on the way to their homes. They left immediately for a safe place and avoided loss of life. In this case family ties were stronger than political ties. Many families were divided in sympathies and even soldiers from the same family served in both sides during the Civil War. ****
