Dear Reader: A special request from the author: this volume, Real Country II, and the three additional volumes, have been "under construction" for about ten years. Several times the information has been brought up to date with extended title searches and new discoveries. This is a process that could be extended interminably. Therefore, I ask for you to consider that this work was complete at the end of 2015. Your additional investigation takes off from this point. abb Scott County, first settled by Europeans and Africans in 1775 and 1783, had its formal beginning on June 22, 1792 when Woodford County, established by the newly created Commonwealth of Kentucky from Fayette in 1789, was divided longitudinally. At the time of their creation, Scott and Woodford counties extended to the Ohio River. That extreme size did not last long. As population grew and demanded access to county seats, Scott yielded territory to the formation of all of present Boone, Kenton, and Grant counties and portions of Gallatin, Owen, Pendleton, and Harrison. Scott was not to achieve its present size until 1819 with the creation of Owen County. Today's Scott County encompasses 284 square miles. This volume relates to the northeast quadrant of Scott County. This territory includes parts of two of Scott County's three geophysical sections - the Lowell-Nicholson soils of the middle segment (the waistband) of Scott County, and the Eden Shale northern sector. The region is rich in history from the settlement period (c. 1785-1825) and the antebellum period (c. 1825 to 1865) into the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the ultimate focus of this work. Founding families who claimed large grants of land or who bought them once they got here are treated at length in these pages. A major challenge has been indexing names of the individuals comprising these families, and their descendants, so that you, the reader, will be able to locate them and their activities as the decades moved forward.
