This is a basic history of Kentucky, with emphasis on the
contributions of the early pioneer families, many of which are of
Scotch-Irish extraction. Apart from the genealogical details of
dates and marriages, the author outlines many of the public
services provided by these individuals and families and the
beneficent influence they have exerted upon the Commonwealth. The
author's objective in this work is to trace from their origin in
this country a number of Kentucky families of Scottish extraction,
whose ancestors emigrated to America early in the eighteenth
century and became the pioneers of the Valley of Virginia. A later
generation of these same families of the Valley, were among the
early pioneers of Kentucky. The Following families constitute some
of those for whom narratives are provided: Alexander, Allen,
Anderson, Andrews, Ball, Barbour, Bell, Benton, Birney, Blair,
Bowman, Brashear, Breckinridge, Brown, Buford, Bullitt, Burden,
Butler, Campbell, Carlisle, Carrington, Carson, Caruthers,
Carthrae, Chrisman, Christian, Clarke, Clay, Crittenden, Cummings,
Dickson, Drake, Duke, Fontaine, Frogg, Hall, Harbeson, Hardin,
Harvey, Harvie, Hawkins, Helm, Innes, Irvine, Jones, Keith, Kirk,
Le Grand, Lewis, Logan, Luke, Lyle, Madison, Marshall, McAlpine,
