Local Kentucky History

A lot of us can trace our roots back to adjoining Kentucky counties including me. Here's a link to my fifth great-aunts grave, Lucy Virgin Downs. I always have given the majority of the credit to her mother, my many greats grandmother who traveled across the Allegheny's pregnant.

That's neat.

Well, I guess so, makes for a good conversation item once in a while. Sort of explains where I get my gumption from, too. Wait, is gumption a word?

Started first by word of mouth from the Virgin family reunion and then had a nephew that did a report on it in school and did a lot of checking. The Virgin family also has a geneology link to ask questions and post messages. Our family has traced back on many ancestry ties on both sides of the family.
