Henry County was created from the northern portions of Jefferson and Shelby Counties. Floyd's Fork is a tributary of the Salt River, running through Jefferson County and Bullitt Counties today. When Henry County was created, a small portion of Floyds Fork was in the southwestern portion of Henry County, near the junction of the boundaries of the three counties. Today, this region is still within the boundary of Henry County near Smithfield.

1785 - Living in David Cox's District was described as "on all the waters of Cox's Creek, Simpton Creek Easterly to the County Line northerly of Chaplins Fork." (James, Joseph's brother, had moved from Rogers Station by the time the tithable list was compiled in 1786; for he and his son William were on the tithable list of David Cox in 1786. David Cox's district in 1786 was described as "from where the County road crossed Salt River on the north side of said road including all the waters of Cox's Creek." Therefore, James was living somewhere north of the County Road, east of or on Cox's Creek and south of the Salt River. John, James, and Joseph were all reported living next to each other on this list and living with or near them was Christopher Stark. They may have all been living on the same property where John and Joseph were recorded in 1785, being a large enough family group to provide each other with mutual protection against Indian attacks.)
