Salt
River Genealogy
and History
Southern
Boyle County and Northern Casey County, Kentucky
The
Salt River rises on the north slope of Persimmon Knob,
near Alum Springs, KY. It flows generally
northward towards Harrodsburg, then westerly to West
Point, KY, where it empties into the Ohio River.
Along the way, various tributaries augment the flow,
notably the Chaplin River, flowing through Parksville
and Perryville, and the North Fork River, beginning in
the knob region of northeastern Casey County.
Thus,
"Salt River" was chosen as the unifying
feature, joining southern Boyle and northern Casey
Counties. Many families, over time, have lived
in both counties, so the Salt River is fitting as the
title of this web.
I have
purposely left out the Forkland community of Boyle
County as they have already published and collected a
great deal of historical and genealogical
material. As the main purpose of this web page is to
gather unpublished material, or information which is
not readily available, including Forkland would simply
be a duplication of effort at this time
I DO
plan to include Junction City and Shelby City as well
as Mitchellsburg, as time and materials permit me to
do so. These communities, like the ones already
included, have little or no printed or published
materials, and so anything I can gather into one place
will be more than what exists now.
