***Deweeses in Kentucky
Our branch of Deweeses showed up in Kentucky shortly after it was ceded (for a second time) by the Shawnees and other Indians as a result of the Battle of Fallen Timbers (1794).
The territory, ignoring Indian ownership, was part of Virginia.
In 1776, the county of Kentucky was formed.
In 1780, it was divided into three bits - Lincoln, Jefferson and Fayette Counties.
In 1792, Logan was formed out of Lincoln County, and that is where our people first show up.
In 1810, Butler County was formed from Logan and Ohio Counties, and that is where our people are found next. It isn't clear (to me) if they actually moved, or if
the name of their part of the county just changed.
Their final home in Kentucky (before they headed off to Indiana, Illinois, and parts west) was Ballard County, which was formed out of Hickman County, which was formed out of Livingston County, which was formed out of Christian County, which was formed out of Logan County.
So, once again, it isn't clear if they or the county line moved.
I suspect it was a move this time.
Butler County is now fairly south central Kentucky and Ballard is the most western county, right where the Ohio runs into the Mississippi.
There are no actual censuses for Kentucky for 1790 and 1800, so tax lists are substituted.
People in our direct line are highlighted.
Ballard formed 1842 from Hickman and McCracken; Carlisle formed from it in 1886
