Typical of the gentlefolk who came to the Kentucky frontier in the
last thirty years of the Eighteenth century are the twelve families
grouped in this series, known as Louisville's First Families. An
effort has been made to picture the early social life of Louisville
as inaugurated by the twelve families included and by similar
families of culture and refinement that emigrated from Virginia,
Mary land and Pennsylvania to the wilderness in the late seventeen
hundreds. From family records and traditions that have come down,
verbally, through the several genera tions, material was obtained
with which to illustrate the permanency of these families in the
city, listing the descendants of the pioneers, to link the
Eighteenth century with the Twentieth, and to in-dicate the shaping
influence of such people upon the growth of a community. The twelve
families documented in this work are: The Bullitt family, Prather
family, Clark family, Churchill family, Pope family, Speed family,
Joyes family, Veech family, Thruston family, Taylor family, Bate
family, and the Floyd family. Paperback, ((1920), repr. 2011,
Illus., 176 pp.
