Hi, All. The 1809 date I mentioned wasn't a COOLEY, it was the first
entry in the deed books. Not a relative.
I went back to Casey Co. today & all bad news for the likes of us;
There was a fire there early on, everything lost. That's why the 1809,
I guess. The new Judicial Center ( that's architect for ugly courthouse
) has only criminal and civil cases & they don't go back far enough.
The fellow I talked to mentioned the "1850s". The local cops ran my
plates, for practice, they said. No help there. The county library had
an event; A rainstorm, the roof fell in, decades of pigeon "stuff" came
in with the rain. A local official told me it's supposed to reopen
tomorrow. I'll give it a try - they're supposed to have a pretty good
genealogy section ( if they still have it! ). Closed Wednesdays - can
you imagine?
Back in the 70s a politician got the bulk of the county records
transferred to the state archives at Frankfort, KY ( state capital ) and
from what the local enthusiasts tell me they're stored in a dungeon,
hard to get to, hard to search. The politician is gone, so are the
records. Frankfort's in my way going north into Ohio, more hotel
charges ( doesn't bother me, at the moment ). I have address & phone
from 3 sources so I guess they must be correct.
I'm inclined to go, disinclined to crawl around in a musty old basement
rooting through dusty old boxes. I understand that all of you are a bit
partisan in this matter but, please, try to talk me into it, or out of
it, as the case may be. I have a salt shaker handy.
