Pioneer Families of Perry County, Kentucky

From the book, "Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky" by William C. Kozee, A.B., LL.B.

This is from the earliest available court order, November Term 1823, at the Perry County, Kentucky Court. This is not a full list, only those present in the court at that time. The list ended with "Esquires", which usually today means a lawyer, so this may only be those acting lawyers in the area. I have added data that I was able to find for several of the people. If I can add to the list later, I will. If you know of a pioneer from Perry, please consider submitting. My email is above.
