Annotated Notes on Bloody Monday, Louisville,

August 6, 1855By Tom Stephens

The Election Day violence in Louisville in 1855 that came to be known as Bloody Monday was the result of the formation of the American party—also called the “Know-Nothings”—and its antipathy toward foreigners and members of the Catholic Church. Just as the formerly dominant Whig Party was disintegrating in the early 1850s, German and Irish immigrants arrived to swell the ranks of the Democratic party. Of the approximately 36,000 white population of Louisville in 1850, almost 11,000 were Irish and German newcomers, many of whom were Catholic. The Know-Nothings had taken over the Louisville and Jefferson County governments and their courts by April 1855 and were in control of the polls on Election Day. In Louisville, the pre-eminent race of the day was that between the Know-Nothings’ Humphrey Marshall and the Democrats’ William Preston for a seat in Congress. Added to this incen-diary atmosphere was the fiery rhetoric of Louisville Daily Journal editor George D. Prentice. As voters headed to the polls on the morning of Aug. 6, the Journal implored the Know-Nothings to “Rally to put down an organization of Jesuit Bishops, Preists, and other Papists, who aim by secret oaths and horrid perjuries, and midnight plottings, to sap the foundations of all our political edifices—State and national….Americans, are you all ready? We think we hear you shout ‘Ready!’ Well, fire! And may heaven have mercy on the foe.” Twenty-two people died that day and numerous others were injured. What follows are quotes from contemporary accounts, as well as later reminiscences by those who witnessed the events of Bloody Monday.

Louisville Courier-JournalNovember 7, 1897

“The feeling was running very high, and for some time … and it was generally understood that there would be trouble.”

“It was evident that the anti-Catholic and anti-for-eign contingents (Know-Nothing or American Party) were determined to win, no matter what it cost.”

“The rumor had been spread abroad that the Mar-shall supporters would take possession of the polls and prevent the foreigners and Catholics from vot-ing. Those citizens who were to be proscribed gave out that they would fight for their rights and would not submit to any injustice.”

“The dirty work of the campaign and especially of the day was done by a number of lawless, fearless agitators, who held a man’s life at small value. Chief among these were Phil Victor, Herk Walker and ____ Tompkins.1 Then there was the rabble which

fell into the trap because of intense religious preju-dices. The mob was spontaneous, reckless, brutal, and worse than all, ungovernable.”

“The plans were well laid. The polls were sur-rounded by the Marshall sympathizers early in the day and great lines of men were on either side of the entrances to the voting places and every man who wanted to vote had to run the gauntlet. An old citizen who was known to be of American birth was allowed to vote if he had the nerve to take his life in his own hands….But it was very different with the honest German, the patriotic Irishman, or the devout Catholic. Some on in the crowd surely knew him, and gave the warning by challenging his vote. If he accepted this proscription, perhaps he was al-lowed to escape. But if he was disposed to question this arbitrary method of running elections and to give voice to his opinion, he was set upon at once. If he showed fight it was but a moment before he was overpowered and driven, bruised and bloody, to seek refuge in some friendly shelter.”

Bloody Monday, Louisville, August 6, 1855, continued ____________

“The bad blood that was shown on that day can not be measured by the murders, the brutal assaults nor even the bruises that resulted from it, for this was not half of the wickedness that transpired during the twenty-four hours which have come to be known in the annals of municipal history as the reign of terror.”

“They would have destroyed the Fifth-street Cathedral and other Roman Catholic churches had it not been for the firm stand taken by Mayor John Barbee. The rumor had gained wide circulation that there were arms stored in the Cathedral and in other places in the city, notably Ambruster’s brewery, the mob determined to fire all such property and to ex-ecute the owners and custodians. Bishop Spaulding, hearing of the plan, locked the doors of the Cathe-dral and turned the keys over to the Mayor.”

“At night, some sixteen houses on Main street, in the vicinity of Eleventh, were fired and burned. Shots were exchanged between the mob outside and the occupants within with destructive effect. Other buildings were fired and similar scenes in other parts of the city. Twenty-to persons were killed, and many wounded during the twenty-four hours’ reign of terror, about three-fourths Irish and one-fourth Americans, the police of the city being inadequate to

suppress or control the fury and riot of the factions.”

Louisville Daily CourierAugust 8, 1855(“Evening Edition, Three O’Clock, P.M.)

“Large crowds were stationed at the entrance to shove back Preston voters, while side and back doors were provided for Marshall men.”

“In the Sixth ward, one of the most quiet and re-spectable in the city, foreigners were driven from the polls and then beaten for presuming to so that which the Constitution grants them. About the Courthouse there was stationed during the day a party of worth-less bullies, who disgraced the city by their demoniac yells an acts of ruffianism.”

“The first severe fighting occurred near the corner of Shelby and Green streets about 11 o’clock in the morning. In this Germans, Irish, and Americans actively participated. The foreigners were worsted, and several of them, taking refuge in a house, had to escape the rear way with broken bones and bruised bodies.”

“Intelligence was immediately communicated to the Lafayette and Kentucky engine-houses, and im-mediately a force was armed and marching toward

The Irish community surrounding St. Patrick’s Church was the scene of the worst carnage of Bloody Monday, which killed at least 22 people. Twelve houses at 11th and Main streets were torched and those trying to flee them were shot down or beaten to death. Many, it was reported, elected to die in their burning homes rather than face the mob. Patrick Quinn, who owned the houses and lived in a room in one of them, was “shot, beaten and then burned (to death).”



the scene of these reputed outrages. Going up Shelby street this body of men and boys became wild with excitement, and when they reached Green street were panting for blood. Here it was that while the prelim-inaries of battle were being arranged the Americans received a volley of shot, and then the engagement followed. In this fight Officer Williams was pep-pered with small shot; Joe Selvage received ten shots; Frank Stout was shot slightly in the arm and side; Wm. Richards received a charge of small shot indis-criminately over his body; Vard Morris was slightly injured, and Wm. Atkinson received several bad wounds. In the same melee Mr. Ether was wounded by a ball that crushed the bones in one of his legs, rendering amputation necessary for the safety of his life.”2

“Having dispersed the Germans, the mob imme-diately went to work demolishing the coffee-house kept by Chris. Meier.3 The windows and doors were broken in, the counters and shelving demolished, the furniture smashed up and the inmates forced to flee. In a short time this army of vandals, receiving constant armed accessions from all quarters of the city, as the news was spread, took up its march, stop-ping next at Conrad Kitzler’s, corner of Walnut and Shelby, who was sitting in his house quietly enjoying his pipe and beer….The property for which he had laboriously worked was nearly demolished, his furni-ture cut in pieces and the lives of himself and family threatened.”4

“At this point a fight occurred in the street, in which a German, residing on Shelby and Madison streets, was killed, and several injured. E.M. Saat-kamp, a German baker on Walnut street, received several cuts in the head.”

“The mad mob pushed further out Shelby street, and had nearly reached the Catholic church, which they proposed sacking and burning, when Mayor Barbee appeared in the crowd. His efforts at paci-fication were for some time fruitless, but at last he gained the multitude’s attention, went and examined the church, reported ‘no powder found,’ and then having assured them that they had won the election, ordered them, under the command of Capt. Rous-seau, to return to their respective wards. With much

trouble, Capt. Rousseau marshaled the large force and counter-marched to the Lafayette engine-house, the rioters as they returned knocking down signs and breaking windows.

Peace had been but practically restored in that section when a cannon, fully manned for action, fol-lowed by fifty men, armed with muskets and bayo-nets, came up the street at a furious rate. This party, under the leadership of Capt. D.C. Stone, proceeded up Main street, crossed over to the head of Jefferson, and while in that vicinity the following property was destroyed, viz:

Ambrusters’ large brewery was fired, and the workmen were severely injured and stock and ma-chinery totally burned. Loss over $6,000….

Adolph Peter’s brewery, adjoining, was fired three times, but unsuccessfully.5

Louisville Mayor John Barbee, himself a member of the American Party, faced down the “mad mob” of Know-Nothings bent on burning down St. Martin’s Church on the heels of their destruction of several German-owned businesses along Shelby Street. After entering and examining the church, Barbee was able to disperse the crowd by disproving the story that gunpowder was stored there.



Charles Heybach’s establishment was completely riddled, and a man named Fritz was shot in the breast.6

The confectionery of Daniel Smook was attacked and the females driven to the garret, where they were nearly suffocated buy the burning brewery.

Baker’s house, next door, was stoned and other-wise injured.

In the attack on the brewery Saddler, the cart driver, was badly wounded, and his wife, being driven over the bridge, could not gain admission into the houses of any of her friends for fear of their being mobbed.

The bakery of Charles Beckers was attacked and stoned, and the windows of Charles Drout’s barber-shop were broken. Those houses belonged to Mr. Raymond, who lived in the country.

The grocery store of Fred Burghold was com-pletely gutted of its contents, his damages being fully $1,000. Adjoining, the shoe store of Joseph Hook was similarly treated. These houses were the property of Jacob Stealer.”

“Poor women were fleeing with their children, and little mementoes of home that were brought from the fatherland; men were cowering before the mad multitude and hiding themselves wherever oppor-tunity offered, while most painful of all sights the stars and stripes waved at the head of sacrilegious mobites.”

“Visiting yesterday the scene of these outrages we were sickened a the ruin that had been wrought, the homes devastated, furniture broken and burned and the poor inhabitants gathered about the remnants of their property, terrified at every sound lest it might be the signal for another attack.”

“About 12 o’clock at night a frame grocery on the corner of Madison and Shelby streets was burned.”

“On Main street, just above Woodland Garden, a coopering establishment belonging to Thomas Gar-rety, was set fire between 12 and 1 o’clock yesterday morning, and burned to the ground. Mr. Garrety was sick in bed at the time and had been confined for several days. His loss, though small—about $500—leaves him and his family desititute.”

“On Main street, a little further above, on the op-posite side of the street, the coopering shop of Edward Prim was burned to the ground. Loss about $600.

“During the trouble Monday afternoon a German named John Vogt, residing on Clay street, near Mad-ison, was shot and killed. His wife was cut across the breast and her young child injured. A German named Keiser, living on Marshall street, was killed.”7

“Walter Murphy, an Irishman, was chased by a large party and shot Monday evening near Owsley, Kinnard & Co.’s pork house. He died yesterday morning having previously stated that Charles Genet was his murderer.”8

“George Edgerton, while conversing with some la-dies on Green street, received a shot below the chin.”

“John Feller, a German, was stabbed seven times in the fight on the corner of Shelby and Marshall, and Hein, a German rope maker, while walking along the street, was attacked by a crowd and terribly beaten.”9

“In the Fifth ward, between 1 and 2 o’clock Monday, a dastardly attack was made on Henry M. Smith, a worthy gentleman who has resided in that ward and whose residence is next to the engine house where the polls were held.10 For no offense whatever he was grossly insulted by those who wished to create a difficulty and without resenting it, he was pursued in his own word; and had it not been for the efficient exertions of Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Bacon he would doubtless have been murdered, despite the fact that his fainting wife threw herself with her children between him and his assailants.”11

“Late in the afternoon in the Sixth ward, an Irish-man was peaceably walking along the pavement in front of the courthouse, when he was assaulted by a gang of men standing by. He attempted to escape, but was pursued by some thirty men who had concealed on their persons short sticks with one end loaded with lead. He was knocked down, and brutally beaten, and one man actually thrust a large pitchfork into his person. He was then taken up and taken to jail, the man marching along with the pitch-fork on his shoulder, blood running from its prongs.



While the victim was placed in jail, the attempted murderers were permitted to go along undisturbed in search of other subjects.”

“In the lower part of the city, as stated yesterday, the difficulties originated near the corner of Chapel and Main streets. About 5 o’clock a man named Rhoads pursued an Irishman into a house on Main street, was fired at and killed. John Hudson, residing on Green street, near the corner of Preston, was shot in the Eight ward, about the same time. William Graham, a foundryman, while assisting Rhoads, was shot in the back of the head by Barrett, an Irishman. Barrett was immediately seized, shot and hung, but not dying he was taken to jail, where he expired dur-ing the night.”

“About 8 o’clock, the block of brick buildings on the corner of Main and Eleventh streets were sur-rounded by a very large, excited and well-armed mob. The cannon was stationed in the streets, and the corner building occupied as a grocery store by Mr. Long, an Irishman; was fired. His three sons were in the house at the time, one of whom escaped with the assistance of C.W. Field, while the other two were consumed in the flames.12 The fire imme-diately extended, burning the adjoining three-story brick house occupied by D. Riordan, an Irishman, as a feed store. A frame building occupied as a board-ing-house by Charles Kyan was next consumed. The vacant houses then caught and were burned. Next came a brick occupied by McKinney, a German cigar maker and saddler. Adjoining was a brick in which Patrick Flynn lived, and tenanted in part by Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. McGinty and Mrs. Dowd.13 The next house was occupied by Dennis O’Brien, Mrs. Flanery and Mrs. Mc-Grath.14 Farther up the street, two brick stores, one used by John McDon-ald, grocer, were nearly demolished. On Eleventh

street, the fire destroyed two houses occupied by Dennis Higgins, James Welch and Mrs. Monohan.15 All the above twelve houses were the property of Patrick Quinn, brother of an Irish Catholic priest. Mr. Quinn had a room in one of his houses, was shot and beaten and then burned last night. On the opposite side of Main, two houses occupied by John Fitzgerald and Mrs. Trainer were burned.16

“The acts of incendiarism that we have just record-ed, while outrageous in themselves, do not compare in atrocity with the dreadful murders that were commit-ted at the same time. Seeking to escape death from the flames, the wretched inhabitants reached the street only to meet death in another form. As soon as one appeared at a door he was fired at and generally killed. A number were taken off badly wounded, and others shot to pieces returned to the burning houses, prefer-ring rather to be burned than to meet the infuriated mob. One man escaped in woman’s clothes, was detected and shot. Another, who came out covered with a blanket, and, leaning on the arm of his wife, was torn away, and deliberately shot. To escape from within to the street without being killed was almost a matter of impossibility. How many of these miserable people thus caged in their own houses were burned alive there can be no computation. The blackened and charred remains of some have been discovered, while we hear of wives and children whose husbands and fathers are not to be found.”

“This is the last of a series of outrageous crimes which the Know-Nothing organization has been guilty of since it first reared its hydra-head in this country. It is the fitting sequel to the Poole martyrdom, the Hiss disclosures, the tarring and feathering of Catho-lic priests, the burning of ballot boxes, the desecra-tion of churches, and the knocking down and murdering of inoffensive citizens, all of which acts

are identified with its history and have been its dis-tinguishing characteristics….”

“Capt. Thomas, a highly respectable and intel-ligent citizen of Madison, desires us to state that before any difficulty had commenced, he was pass-ing down Market street and saw ahead of him three decent, genteel appearing Irishmen, who turned off at Tenth street. Reaching Main he observed a man rush out and knock one of the Irishmen down, while the others were chased across the street into a house, and then the firing commenced from windows. This, Capt. Thomas says, was the commencement of the whole trouble, growing out of an unprovoked assault upon an Irishman who was quietly passing along the street.”

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.—Yesterday morn-

ing on Jackson street, Wm. Hardin, a Know-Nothing and Jesse Hughes, a Catholic, became engaged in an altercation. Hughes was knocked down, and falling to the earth a pistol that he carried in his pocket was accidentally discharged, killing him.

Letter of James Speed to Col. W.R. Thompson, September 8, 1855

Dear Sir: You ask me to state what I saw on the 6th day of August last, the day of the election. I do so cheerfully. I went to vote before my breakfast, about 6 o’clock. I found a crowd around the polls and great difficulty in getting in. There was a good deal of noise and much hallooing for Marshall.

I returned from my breakfast about 9 o’clock, and went directly into the court room where the votes were taken. The crowd and a large and noisy one was in the passage. I remained in the room till about 9:30 or 10 o’clock a.m. Whilst there I heard the noise of several fights in the passage, and saw from the window Irishmen and Germans beaten and chased from the court-house yard.

When I came from the court room, or the room in which the votes were taken, into the passage the crowd which had been in the passage and chased some foreigners into the yard east of the court-house and saw the crowd running down Sixth street. I went back through the court-house, and out of the front door to my office in front of the court-house. From my office I saw many men, Irish and German, beaten in the court-house yard before dinner. It was not fighting man to man, but as many as could fall upon a single Irishman or German and beat him with sticks or short clubs—not walking canes, but short clubs. I advised all foreigners I saw after I came out of the court-house and before I went to my din-ner, not to go near the court-house. From the time I came out of the court-house till dinner time, the court-house yard was occupied by a number of men and boys armed with short clubs shouting “Hurrah for Marshall!” “Hurrah for Sam!” They wore yellow tickets in their hats or on their breasts.

Soon after I returned from dinner, about 2:30 o’clock p.m., I saw a number of men and boys com-ing out of the court-house armed with muskets and a great many armed with clubs. I inquired of Judge Bodley what it meant: he replied that the Germans two hundred strong and armed with double-barrel

James Speed’s letter to Colonel W.R. Thompson on Sept. 8, 1855, was an important eyewitness account of the Bloody Monday events. Speed served as U.S. attorney general under President Abraham Lincoln and in numerous other elected offices, from the Louisville Board of Alderman to the Kentucky House and Senate.



shotguns had taken possession of the polls in the First ward. I told him that it was not so and would not be so. He replied with warmth showing that he believed it to be true.

I was about my office till after 5 o’clock. Before I left the office or the neighborhood, I saw many Irish-men carried to jail all covered with blood.

Near 5 o’clock and before I left the office an infu-riated crowd, wearing the yellow ticket, came yelling down Jefferson street, guarding an Irishman to jail who was all covered with blood and so weak that he had to be supported to walk. A man with the same yellow-ticket badge followed just after with an iron pitchfork. Betwixt the front gate of the Court-house yard and Sixth street the crowd on guard took after a little German who was going up Jefferson street. They raised the shout “move him.” He ran, pursued by the crowd; He was stricken many times before he got to the Court-house yard gate, and soon after he got into the yard he was knocked down and most unmercifully beaten. To escape the blows he crawled under the Know Nothing stand, and from where I stood I thought the man with the Iron pitchfork stabbed him when under there. In this I am told I was mistaken. They dragged him from under the stand, more dead than alive, and carried him to jail on their shoulders, the crowd yelling to make the damned rascal walk. I still think the man with the pitchfork stuck the man when down.

I know that the Court-house and Court-house yard was in the possession and under the control of Know Nothing bullies from 8 o’clock a.m. until ____ ____ ____ the foreigners were so frightened that they would not come about there.

The foreigners came to the Court-house in the morning, not in crowds, but singly, and without clubs or arms of any kind. I saw no foreigner mis-behave or do or say an insolent thing. The Know Nothings had clubs and yelled incessantly.

About dinner-time I saw a small German knocked from the front steps or from the upper platform to the bottom. I thought that the fall would kill him. They ran down, beat him with clubs and he got up, and as he ran pelted him with stones. A man met him and knocked him down. Capt. Rousseau got up and with three men saved him.

When I was in the court room I heard that the Hon. Will R. Thompson was struck while attempt-

ing to ___ an Irishman, and saw the wound or bruise on his cheek. He told me that he had been struck for trying to keep the mob off the Irishman they were pursuing.

I am, sir, most respectfully your obedient servant and friend.

JAMES SPEED.W.R. THOMPSON, ESQ.

Col. Durrett’s Recollections.“I have very distinct recollections of ‘Boody

Monday,’” said Col. R.T. Durrett the other day, “but it has been so long since the occurrences of that dreadful day that I can not recall the various details. I was here and lived all through the excitement—in fact, I had some little part in it. I was attorney for Mrs. Ambruster in her suit against the city, and after fourteen years succeeded in getting the claim allowed by the Council.” Besides I wrote a great deal for the newspapers then and on account of certain vigor-ous editorials, directed against the Know Nothing movement and the candidacy of Gen. Humphrey Marshall, I incurred their enmity to a certain degree, as I afterward learned, for it placed me on the list of those who were to suffer for their opposition to the party pledged to religious proscription and the foreign element.

“I had no difficulty in voting on that day, al-though it was extremely hazardous for a foreigner, a Catholic or a Democrat to get near the polls. Prob-ably it was because I was known as an old citizen and an American that my vote was not challenged. At any rate I voted and witnessed one or two threatened attacks around the polls.

“I have vivid recollections of Gen. Preston, who was a Democratic candidate for Congress, and meet-ing him early in the morning on election day, I said to him: ‘General, I don’t think you have any chance if they carry out the tactics they propose.’ Gen. Preston was very game and very brave. He replied that he did not know what his fate would be, but he was ready to make a sacrifice of his own life for principle, and remarked that a few first-class funerals would do more to abolish the lawless organization than anything else. So far as I know, no violence was attempted on Gen. Preston, and he came and went unmolested.

“I firmly believe that the acts on the Know-noth-



ings part and the manner in which they carried the election in 1855 was their doom….

“The plan of action which was followed by the Know-nothing people to prevent free exercise of suf-frage was to form a row about the polls and jostle the voters to and for as they tired to get in line.

“If a foreigner or Catholic approached he was or-dered by one of the bullies to leave, but if he refused he was attacked by the whole mob, severely beaten and driven away. If the man showed fight his life was in great danger. To my mind the whole secret of the success of this disgraceful affair was due to the fact that the Know-nothing sympathizers were prepared and armed for the conflict, while the foreigners came singly, unprepared and practically unarmed.

“I had an interesting experience about that time. There was a man named Roft who killed a police-man just outside of the city limits. And I was called upon as a lawyer to defend him. The only line of defense that was possible for me to make was to show that the policeman was outside of his territory, and consequently attacked this man simply as an individual. I made a very strong speech in his behalf and succeeded in saving his neck. The next day I was sitting in my office when Herk Walker, one of the desperadoes who figured in the bloody affair, walked into my office and said, ‘Good morning, Mr. Durrett.’ I am not much of a coward, but I confess when this man who had killed fifteen or eighteen men and who had the reputation of being the most blood-thirsty of the lot stood in my doorway I felt a chill run down my back. I said, ‘Good morning Mr. Walker, what can I do for you?’ He then told me that he had been present in the court-room and heard my defense of this friend Roft. He informed me that he was greatly pleased with the manner in which I handled the case, and said if I ever wanted his as-sistance that I could have it. He told me in the most cold-blooded manner that he had been watching me for a long time, and that my name was on their list, which I understood to mean death, but that my defense of his friend militated? (mitigated?) in my fa-vor and that no harm should come to me. I thanked him for his consideration and told him that I had done the best I could for his friend. In concluding our interview he said, ‘Mr. Durrett, if you have any enemies that you want taken care of just call on me.’ I thanked him for his kindness, but never had occa-

sion to seek his assistance.”

Logan County Emancipations, 1792–1865

By Judy Lyne

This database compiles all references to emancipation orders, both in Order and Deed Books between the formation of Logan County in September 1792 and end of the Civil War. Only the indexes of books covering November 1846 through December 1859 exist but they mention emancipated slaves, no descriptions or own-ers listed, but the names are included here with estimated dates supplied.

In Logan County, the emancipations in the Deed Books are indexed under “Slaves” in the master index, 1792-1938. These are recorded in the database, some as duplications to the order book entries and some separate entries. This index also lists the immigrants and the slaves brought into Kentucky for personal use but these are not included in the database for it refers only to those individuals emancipated.

Slavery and emancipation from this servitude was always regulated by Kentucky constitutions and statutes. How carefully the rules were followed is only a guess so this list is as accurate as the records allow.

Virginia, when giving permission for Kentucky to be cut off to form the fifteenth state of the union, stipu-lated that slavery as an established institution would be maintained. Following Virginia codes, the first consti-tution in 1792 set the basis for slavery in Kentucky. Among other points, Article IX stipulated:

1. The legislature could pass no law for the emancipation of slaves without the consent of owners or without paying their owners. This explains the early capital felony cases where a slave was convicted, executed and then the owner paid for his loss.

2. Laws could be passed to regulate emancipation so that the slave did not become a burden on the county where he resided nor could creditors be foiled by sudden freeing of the slave.

3. While immigrants could bring their slaves into the state, no slaves were to be brought here with the intent of merchandising purposes nor could slaves from a foreign country be brought to Kentucky. In this case, the word “intent” allowed for slave trade for anyone could “intend” to use the slave for personal use and then de-cide later to sell said slave or slaves.

In December of 1794, the emancipation law clarified a few points. If one desired to emancipate his slaves by a will, the document had to be in writing, stamped with a seal, attested, and proved in open court by two witnesses. The court could demand bond and security from the emancipator or the executor of his estate so freed Negroes would not be a burden on the county finances. A certificate, made of parchment and bearing the county seal, was to be given to the freedman.

Kentucky operated under the guidelines developed in Virginia until 1798 when it drew up its own slave code. These forty-three articles dealt more with the treatment of slaves, solving problems inherent with slav-ery, punishments for various crimes committed by slaves or owners and did little to change the emancipation practices.

In 1823 a slight refinement of the emancipation law was passed. It required a description of the freed slave on the certificate and specified that only one certificate was to be issued unless a person could prove the first one was lost. Severe penalties were to be incurred if a freedman gave his certificate to a slave, thus allowing the other slave to have freedom.

To avoid some of the legal and financial obligations, some Kentucky slave owners took their slaves to Ohio and freed them over the state line. Many of these may have moved to a colony of freed slaves in Green County, Ohio. Only one record was found in Logan County Deed Book T when Maria Caldwell was freed at Cincin-nati, Ohio. Since it would not have been required to be noted in order or deed books, others may have been freed in this manner. Some of the Logan County records state the freed slave has to move from Kentucky, that he may go anywhere in the world except slave states, and some specify a move to Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois.

Owner Ephraim M. Ewing even specified that M.T. or R.T. Higgins was to take the freemen out of state.

One odd segment of Logan County history oc-curred between 1 January 1862 and 29 January 1862. In late 1861 and early 1862, Logan County was occupied by forces of the Confederate Army. Some freedmen were forced to work for this army and there were reports of freedmen being carried south and sold into slavery. Fearing for their free-dom and that of their children, twenty freedmen voluntarily chose new masters, agreeing to be their slaves for life. They also agreed to the binding of their children, the boys to age 21, the girls to age 18, in apprenticeship programs to the new masters. By August when the Union forces had driven out the Confederates, the freedmen realized they had been unduly influenced by the specific individuals who benefited from their new enslavement. Of the twenty who were enslaved by this voluntary court order, eleven are not in the records as plaintiffs in suits ask-ing for return of their freedom. Equity court records record the other nine suing for and winning back their freedom. Of the 44 free Negro children bound to the various participants, only seventeen, those of the three families of Elijah and Elizabeth Broadnax, Bathia Cole, and Eliza Jane Bibb, show up in the later emancipation law suits.

The Logan County Courthouse at the time of the emancipations was the one pictured above, which had been built on the north half of the Russellville City Square in 1826. It was in the Federal design and featured a shuttered bell tower topped by a weathervane in the shape of a fish. The sign reads: “Wilson and Clark will repair your harness.” The courthouse was torn down in 1903 as construction progressed on a new courthouse nearby, which opened in 1906.

kentucky historical society

The Kentucky Historical Society, founded in 1836, has long been the state’s storehouse of history. Today it is the home of the 167,000-square-foot Kentucky History Center in downtown Frankfort. The state-of-the-art facility, which opened in April 1999, is the centerpiece of a campus that offers numerous learning opportunities to students, historians, genealogists, and anyone else interested in Kentucky history.

The Kentucky Historical Society operates three unique sites in downtown Frankfort that tell the story of our state’s history. At the Frankfort facilities and through the Society’s outreach programs, the Kentucky story stirs the hearts of over a quarter-million people every year.

The Kentucky Military History Museum (left) houses a collection of artifacts from the state’s martial past. It was built in 1850 as the state arsenal. Union and Confederate troops fought to control it during the Civil War. The Old State Capitol, (right) completed about 1830, is a gem of Greek Revival architecture. Designed by Gideon Shryock, it was the first state capitol of its type west of the Appalachian Mountains. It is today operated as a museum and is open for tours.

Kentucky History Center—Home to the Society, this building contains the state history museum, changing exhibit gallery, research library, gift shop, rental facility, and the Society’s educational and publications programs.

Old State Capitol—Completed in 1830, this site is a national historic landmark. Its House and Senate cham-bers, graced by Kentucky paintings and sculpture, tell the story of state government in the commonwealth.

Kentucky Military History Mu-seum—Two centuries of Kentucky’s military heritage are traced through an extraordinary collection of weap-ons, uniforms, flags, and photo-graphs. Housed in the 1850 Old State Arsenal, the museum operates in conjunction with the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs.


Education

Publications

Thousands of researchers blaze their own trail through the historic landscape each year with the assistance of the Society’s research facilities. Here genealogists can trace an ancestor’s path aided by family histories, census, church, and cemetery records, family Bibles, and land ownership and military service records.

In addition, the Society’s Special Collections house hundreds of thousands of manuscripts, photographs, maps, rare books, oral histories, pioneer accounts, diaries, albums, personal recollections, and more—all helping researchers come face-to-face with Kentucky’s distinctive heritage.

The Society publishes books and periodicals that meet the needs of genealogists, historians, and scholars alike. The publications program produces two quarterlies: The Register, a journal of scholarly research in Kentucky history, and Kentucky Ancestors, a genealogical magazine providing statewide coverage for family history researchers. The Society also publishes The Chronicle, a membership newsletter offering information on Society events, exhibits, and programs.

The Library and Special Collections facilities contain the stories of Kentuckians and their families, from the 1700s to the present. Researchers have access to hundreds of thousands of books, records, and photographs.

Every year thousands of people travel to Frankfort from all across America for hands-on tours, interactive exhibits, touch carts, historic character reenactments, family workshops, theatrical presentations, symposia, and festivals that celebrate Kentucky’s history. In addition, the education program offers Kentucky history curriculum materials to teachers for use in their classrooms. The Society’s outreach programs help people from Ashland to Paducah discover Kentucky’s unique past. These programs include the Kentucky Junior Historical Society, Museums To Go, and Historical Highway Markers. Grant and technical assistance activities sponsored by the Folklife, Local History, and Oral History programs give citizens the tools to document and present their own history.

Miss Nannie Eckles, or rather her beautiful boquet [sic] of wax flowers took the first premium at the Glasgow Fair….

Captain Gracey left this morning for Nashville. He is a popular officer and we hope to see him in command of the finest boat in the river the coming season.

James Ritchie Jr. and Thomas Lowhorn, returned from Louisville last Sunday. They report dry goods rising, and crop prospect fine, in the rural districts about our little Metropolitan town.

A five- and three-quarter-pound Brazilian Sweet Potato raised by Master Mallory Sandidge knocks the beam heavily against the Columbia Spectator’s small potato. Last year, Mr. John B. Alexander raised some of the Bermuda variety weighing over eight pounds. We thank Mallory for his little vegetable and shall endeavor to do it Justice, when properly baked and well buttered.

G.B. McGee is now in Louisville laying in his winter stock of goods.

Sam Hess Baker is doing the Louisville Exposi-tion.

The largest Cabbage head of the season is now

ours, having been presented to us by Mrs. S.J. Eck-les, as a specimen of her garden’s productiveness.

DIEDOn Monday, October 8, 1877, Aunt Milly Pace,

aged 102 years, 4 months, and 24 days, having been born Mary 14, 1775.

On Sunday morning, October 7, 1877, Nick Nelson.

On Monday while the hands at the Baker place, below Burksville, were crushing cane with one of the old wooden cane mills, a little colored child aged about five years, came up unnoticed, and while poking leaves between the rollers its left arm was drawn in to the shoulder, crushing flesh and bone to a flat pulpy mass and completely removing all skin, both from the arm and the shoulder and breast of the child, next of the arm. Dr. W.G. Hunter, assisted by Dr. W.P. Alexander, amputated the arm at the shoulder joint, but having no skin flap to draw over the stump, the operation could not be as neatly per-formed as usual. Dr. Hunter says in all of his experi-ence as Army Surgeon he never saw a more ghastly mangling of a limb. The shock to the child’s nervous system was so great that the changes are but slight for its recovery.

Lynn Eddington of Shepherdsville wrote with information about a Mystery Album photo that ap-peared as the cover of Volume 41, Number 3.

“I am not sure what line this might be since I only have one Hardin, by marriage, in my Kays family. If the school picture was taken in Washington County, Ky., the teacher could be Everett Deadman/Dedman. In the picture with the baby, I’m not sure which Oscar Kays this would be unless it’s the one born in 1910. My g-grandmother’s brother, Oscar Kays, was born in 1892 and married in 1911. … I would be glad to share any Kays information….” Eddington can be reached at (502) 543-6335.

Jesse L. Cravens married Lavina Slaughter on 1 May 1816 in Knox County. As boundaries changed, they soon were living in Whitley County. Their children were Herman, Squire, James, Thomas, Jeptha, Sally, Synthis, and Mary Ann. Does anyone know anything about the family, especially Lavina’s parents? Also looking for information on Thomas Keeling, who left Kentucky for Indiana, where he married Rebecca Cotter before moving to Missouri; and William and Nancy Scaggs/Skaggs, who left Kentucky for Missouri.

JonesI am looking for information regarding the burial

site of my grandfather, William Jones, a farmer who was 71, living in Temple Hill, Kentucky. I have learned that the information should be in the cem-

etery records of Barren County. The 1870 Census, Sanders Precinct, Barren County, gave the following information about the family: He was from North Carolina; his wife, Martha A., from Virginia was listed as age 50. His children were Sarah A., a seam-stress, 24; John M. (my grandfather), 23; James B., 19; Nancy C., 16; Darthula L., 15; and Henrietta, 8.

Mystery AlbuM

A box of images and documents was recently discovered in Canton, Ohio. Several mention the David M. Harbin family of Louisville, Ky., and the H.C. Roud family of Canton. The above photo is believed to be that of the children of H.C. Roud. At right is Blanche Harbin, a daughter of David M. Harbin, who appears in the 1910 U.S. Census as a 20-year-old stenog-rapher living with her parents in Louisville. Any information about the families and photos would be very much appreciated.

If you recognize those pictured or can provide any more information about them, please contact Kentucky Ancestors at 100 W. Broadway, Frank-fort, KY 40601-1931, or call 502-564-1792, ext. 4435, or e-mail: [email protected].
