[Genealib] Anybody know about Kentucky

[Johnson, Donna]

Maybe this was the case because the state of Kentucky was reforming
counties about that time and it could be that the census enumerator did
not know the county name in that particular area and just used the
geographical notation.

Subject: [Genealib] Anybody know about Kentucky



A patron asked me about the 1830 census. One area in West KY, instead of
being labeled with a county name, is referred to as "South of the
Cumberland River". Anybody know why this was used instead of a county
name. I checked a few sources I have about Kentucky and censuses and
didn't find anything.
