My husband's ancestors crossed into Ripley Co from the northern KY cos of
Boone and Campbell. Some of the names were RICE, WATTS, and VAWTER(who had
made a detour through Tennessee). Jordan Rice served in the War of 1812 from
Gallatin Co.KY and may have been born in Rockingham Co. VA.
They seem to have been part of an intermarried group of Baptists.
