Hopkins County Kentucky
It's called Hell's Half Acre and most people in the area know that it used to be one of the wildest spots around. The story of Hell's Half Acre began back when the area that is now Hopkins County was largely unclaimed woodland. Charles Wyatt, or Wiott -- both names appear on various records -- and his two brothers were traveling through the area. Charles' wagon broke down on the road and with no one to repair it he decided that was just as good a place as any to settle. One of the brothers managed to make his way further west and eventually settled in Oregon. Another brother went to Warren County, KY. The brother that went to Warren County was named George. He decided to come back to Hopkins County and settle near his brother Charles. Charles had claimed a great deal of land and had plenty to spare for his brother. George built his house on a half-acre plot in the middle of the land.
Headstones for Charles, George and Delilah Wyatt cvould not be found in old cemetery.
