Bob Scott's Jefferson County, Indiana Blogspot

Books:
The Indian-Kentuck in the Nineteenth Century
The book is hardbound, indexed, and covers 94 pages. It details the history of the area of the Indian-Kentuck basin, principally eastern Jefferson County, but also parts of Pleasant and Craig Townships in Switzerland County, and Brown and Shelby Townships in Ripley County. The book deals with first settlements, origins of various waves of migration, key settlers, the founding of churches, stores, and mills in the area. While it has some genealogical value, it is not a genealogy. Anyone interested in pricing and terms, please contact Bob Scott.
