Andy Beshear's vision for building a better Kentucky continues to charge ahead as the commonwealth recently tied for fifth nationally on Site Selection magazine's 2021 Prosperity Cup list, an annual ranking of the top U.S. states for business climate. "Every day we are working to create a brighter future for Kentuckians, with quality jobs, better wages and educational opportunities for all residents," Gov. Beshear said.

Jane Lampton Clemens born 18 June 1803 By Mike Watson Jane Lampton Clemens was born in Columbia in Adair County, Kentucky, 18 June 1803. Her maternal grandfather, Colonel William Casey, was a Revolutionary War veteran, frontiersman, and lent his name to the county of Casey upon formation. In 1823, Jane married John Marshall Clemens, a Virginia native who was living in Adair County where he practiced law. The marriage occurred in Columbia. The newlyweds lived in rented rooms in the John Field house, one of Columbia's three oldest homes located on present-day Reed Street. The Clemens family moved to Tennessee where they started their family, after several years they relocated to Florida, Missouri and eventually Hannibal, Missouri, where John Marshall died in 1847. After John's death, Jane lived near to or with three of her children in various locations. Jane and John were the parents of seven children, four of whom lived to adulthood, but the best known was sixth child, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, born in 1835. Samuel became known around the world by his pen name, Mark Twain. Today, June 18, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Jane Lampton, Mrs. Clemens. 2021-06-18 12:07:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History
