This publication consists of transcriptions of all the letters; most of the drafts, receipts, deeds (some abbreviated), etc. excluding about 35 documents dated 1859-1915 and several undated receipts or notations from the collection in the University of Kentucky. Most original spelling has been retained.Documents are presented chronologically, following an examination of the family background that includes the children of Benjamin and Anne (Seay) Wilson and kinsman John Wilson (ca. 1750-1826), and a discussion of the geographical background.

Situated near the conjunction of Franklin, Woodford, and Scott counties, the Elkhorn Church was a magnet for persons of the Baptist faith who had suffered under the established church in Virginia. In a series of sketches based on the old minute books of the church, the author recounts the church's early history; lists its founders, members, and pastors; and endeavors \"to tell something of the families who worshiped at the Forks Church during the first half century of its existence.\" Several hundred families are traced by means of entries in the old minute book, family Bibles, wills, land records, tax lists, census records, and a variety of other sources, while family legends and traditions are also incorporated into the fabric of the genealogy. Here the researcher is furnished with places and dates of birth, marriage, and death; names of children, husbands, and wives; places of residence; and points of migration-as far as they could be determined by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErmina Jett Darnell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1946), 2006, paper, 348 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806308838\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-1320\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32244642906230,"sku":"102-1320","price":43.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-1320-1500px.png?v=1777309824"},{"product_id":"101e-ky0262","title":"Woodford County, Kentucky History and Biographies","description":"\u003cp\u003eWoodford County, Kentucky was created in 1788 out of the older Fayette County.
