Hello Dale & Gang,
Since I confessed to being Granson to Elihu the Moonshinner I will also come
clean & tell you of another Moonshinner in Clay County Ky.
Issac Carmack 1816 (son of Levi 1791) Had a Dau Mary Ann who Married
William Bishop Jr & Lived on the Pooter Branch of Cedar Valley-Newfound Rd.
Back in the late 1800's you could get a license's to make so many Gallons.
Well my Great Great Granmother Mary Ann Carmack Bishop had her License's in
her appron when they came to her still but she said nothing.She was arrested
& taken to a large city to stand trail for Moonshinng.
The judge said Mrs Bishop do you have anything to say before I pass
sentenceing? She reached into her appron and pulled out her license's & said
your Honor I have my license's. The judge said why did'nt you show it to the
arresting officer's? She replied they did'nt ask me if I had a License and
besides I always wanted to see a big City.
Cousin Tony
