In my searching so far, I have found that they came from all over KY. Some
came from the Northeast, down the Ohio and into Northern KY Area then on to
Jennings, Ripley and Decatur counties. I have one family that came from
Garrard county KY,
After the Northwest Treaty was passed in 1781, people started really coming
to Indiana and in early 1800's they started dividing into counties and into
townships and selling tracts of land at very food prices.

Subject: [INJENNIN] families from KY to Jennings IN
In looking at my husband's family that has traveled to Jennings
from KY.
I
am at a dead end on where our Longs were originally from in KY.
Other
names
in the family are McCammon, Spencer and Meek. I have noticed many
families
came from KY. Is there a pattern of immigration I am missing? Was
there
a
certain time that many traveled to Jennings for land around 1840 or
1850?
I
understand that many families traveled together, and I'm curious
if there
is
a certain area from KY that the families in Jennings traveled from or
did
they come from all over in KY. Thank you for any information. Sincerely,
:-) Barbara Long <brlong54(a)aol.com>
