Kentucky settlers

Kentucky began as property of Virginia, eventually becoming a county of that dominion. Kentucky was granted statehood in 1792.

The first family to call Kentucky home were the Berrys. Enoch Berry moved there from Virginia shortly after the Revolutionary War. His daughter, Elizabeth Berry Crail died in KY during the 1840s.

Samuel Clark was in Kentucky not long before she was granted statehood. His son Isaac was born there in 1792. The Clarks were Ohio-bound by 1807.

Dr. Peter Trisler migrated to Kentucky from Maryland in 1791. His daughter Susanna would end up in Indiana with her son Martin Cawby Jr. during the late 1850s.

The Crails and Stewarts arrived in Kentucky about 1795. James B. Crail Sr. would leave about 1818.

John Cawby and his sons arrived about 1808. His grandson, Martin Jr. moved to Indiana during the late 1850s.

Willis  Gulley settled in Kentucky prior to the outbreak the War of 1812. His father, Enoch, arrived in 1815. Both moved north to Indiana in 1828.
