Jackie & Dorothy Johnson back home in Cumberland County



2017-02-19 - Public Square, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) .
Jackie Johnson had made many trips in his prized 1955 210 Chevy V8 back to visit Cumberland County until this last year when he retired and brought his wife Dorothy to live full time in their native home. When they married, he at 19 and she at 16, "forty-some years ago" they went to Louisville to make their living. They raised two kids there and now have three grandchildren and one great grandchild, all of whom, Dorothy said, "live in the Louisville area and all begging us to move back there again." They have options and a cool ride to do their thinking in. Today was a perfect one to have the windows down and enjoy the view. -- LW

MIKE WATSON : William Casey sketch from Judge Rollin T. Hurt

Colonel William Casey & Montgomery Station Sketch number 19 in a series on Adair County History written by Judge Rollin T. Hurt, Columbia, for the Adair County News,. published 1919.

Submitted by Mike Watson, Adair County Historian

[William] Casey appeared in Lincoln County in the early part of the year 1779. He lived at Logan's Fort during the summer and in the early autumn he returned to Virginia, but came again to Logan's Fort about the beginning of the winter. He spent the winter of 1779-1780, which is memorable for its extreme severity, in an open camp upon the banks of the Hanging Fork of Dick's River. He remained in Lincoln County for ten years, during which time he actively engaged in the defense of the country and participated as a soldier in the various military movements made against the hostile Indians. A portion of the time he resided in Logan's Fort near the present site of Stanford, but afterward he established a "station" upon the waters of the Hanging Fork of Dick's River. This station was three miles and seven miles from the present sites of Stanford and Danville, respectively. The term "station" was used by the pioneers as a place where several men and families associated themselves together and lived near to each other for mutual protection from the Indians and helped each other upon occasions of necessity. Usually a stockade or blockhouse, or both, were erected, or the dwelling houses were situated near to each other so that, if one house was assailed, the occupants of the others could assist in its defense at once by the use of their rifles in shooting from their own homes, which were provided with loop holes through the walls for that purpose.
