KENTUCKIANS IN OHIO AND INDIANA.

Baltimore: Holt, Rinehart and Winston Book. VG+. Hardcover. (1986), 302pp, index. VG+. From the Foreword: "Kentucky was a classic breeder state, sending her children to newly opened areas where it was believed the prospects would be brighter. So pronounced was this propensity to move that in the antebellum period nearly one-third of all native-born Kentuckians were living out of state. Doubtless, many of those who moved were of the proverbial rolling-stone variety and put down shallow roots in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Missouri, and finally ended their days farther west.The information abstracted for this book comes from approximately 200 rare county histories and county atlases published between 1876 and 1916. The atlases often list patrons by name, birthplace, and year, and give the year they migrated to the county. Thus, post-civil War migrants, as well as early settlers are listed. In county histories the biographical information usually includes the date and county and state of birth of the biographee. In many cases, similar information appears for the parents.".
