My long ago grandfather was a Whitley county.baptist preacher who was granted 2000 acres for his service in the revolution

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

That’s an interesting connection! Does the land remain in the family?

[@BookZealots]

So fascinating! Thank you for making this. Now, if I can only find out which family member it was that got us here to KY. =)

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you find those ancestors!

I have found videos about the state of Franklin and it talks about its troubles with North Carolina getting help against the natives, congress would not give enough votes, and was attacked by the Chicasaw, Cherokee, and other natives. After failing statehood and all its troubles, how did Tennessee become a state just 5 years later? Or Kentucky a year later for that matter? I know that is not the topic here just hoping to learn more peices to the puzzle here, ty and I did learn more.

It’s very interesting, there were multiple attempts of people trying to start states. We’ve found three that would have changed Kentucky.

Great Video and I appreciate and applaud your effort and contributions - while it is the History of the Beginnings of Kentucky - the men and women and children of the Western Waters and frontiers of Old Virginia and Carolina were the defenders and pioneers of the Kentucky County, Virginia - Kentucky would not be formally created until June of 1792 so all that history is truly the history of Virginia and more specifically the counties of Fincastle (defunct) Washington, and Montgomery - the men from those battles regrouped back into lands of Washington County Virginia in 1782 and many would settle in the land of current Tazewell, Russell and Buchanan counties Virginia - especially true are the lists of Oaths of Allegiance from the men that were the leaders of those early Frontier Forts - James Harrods men, before he “disappeared” ( of which my ancestor James Brown was named in oaths of allegiance) and Logans men, and Boones men as well as the many other men Trigg, Keaton Girty, Shelby, etc who were present in the Kings mountain battles- the neighborhood men of my ancestor Jame Brown who died in 1814, they speak of these battles in Kentucky and the men they served in their applications for Rev War Pensions act of 1830 - my ancestor and his wife had already died before the act but they can be found in the oaths, lands, property tax lists, in service in Order Books of the newly established county of Tazewell in 1800 on lands they acquired in 1780’s Washington County and the reference to Kentucky lands in his Will. The many neighbors in the lists surrounding these times are evidence of Patriots who they served alongside during the wars of the Revolution and the Indian wars that followed. Thank you for sharing - I love the video - be Blessed.

My grandfather William Holland was born in South Carolina in 1774 and he is buried in Princeton Kentucky 1843 so doesn't that make our Last name older than America.

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

It sure does!

[@michaelterrell]

First!

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

Every time!

[@michaelterrell]

@@KentuckyHistoryChannel At least I'm a consistent Kentucky born viewer! 😁

I recently learned of a Buffalo trail along licking River that was used by the Indians to attack settlers in Virginia, during the revolutionary war.

[@michaelterrell]

@@jamesarnett1767 We had a biannual buffalo migration through Ft. Greeley Alaska, when I was stationed there, 50 years ago. the torn up and overgrazed land they left behind was the perfect cover for anyone who moved along with them. The worst was the tons of their crap that had to be removed to keep it out of the waterways.
