RESEARCHER: Sherry Kasberg [sherryk@gorge.net] Coordinator Sherman County, Oregon Historical Museum wrote T. Mason in Aug 2001:
In 1772, Fincastle County, Virginia was organized; the new county included all of present Kentucky. Then on 31 December 1776, Kentucky County, Virginia was formed from Fincastle County.
In 1777, Virginia's General Assembly divided Fincastle County into three parts and created Washington, Montgomery, and Kentucky Counties. The act creating these counties described Kentucky County as being "to the south and westward of a line beginning on the Ohio at the mouth of Great Sandy creek and running up the same and the main, or northeasterly, branch thereof to the Great Laurel Ridge of Cumberland Mountain, then south westerly along the said mountain to the line of North Carolina.
In 1780, Kentucky County was divided into three counties -- Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln. Within just a few years, six more counties had been carved out of those three. Between 1784 and 1792, people living in those counties held ten conventions on the question of statehood; on 18 December 1789 Virginia's General Assembly passed an act allowing Kentucky to apply for statehood and on 1 June 1792, those nine counties became a state, with the full consent of Virginia.
Fayette County was one of the original three counties formed 30 June 1780 from Virginia's Kentucky Territory. Named for the French General Marquis de LaFayette who served in the Revolutionary War, it is located in the Inner Bluegrass region of the state. Early pioneers arrived in 1774; Jacob Baughman, Hancock Taylor, Simon Kenton, James Douglas and John Floyd surveyed here in that year. William McConnell settled in 1775 and the Bryant family in 1776. Early stations included Levi Todd's (1779) and William McGee's (1780). Robert Boggs built here in 1784 and Levi Todd in 1787. The county seat is Lexington, which was organized 5 May 1782. It was named earlier by Captain Robert Patterson, while he was being guided through the Bluegrass by Simon Kenton. He selected the name Lexington upon hearing of the historic battle that began the American Revolution.
Fayette's neighboring counties are Bourbon, Clark, Jessamine, Madison, Scott, and Woodford. The elevation in the county ranges from 549 to 1070 feet above sea level. In 1990 the county population was 225,366 in a land area of 284 square miles, an average of 793.5 people per square mile.USGenWeb, Fayette County, KY; Subscribers for A Narrative of the Life and Travels of John Robert Shaw, the Well-Digger, now Resident of Lexington, KY, printed by Daniel Bradford, 1807; Lexington: Samuel Ayres, Eng.

They INCORRECTLY imply that the David Jameson referred to was indeed this David who was born 15 Oct 1757. I conclude the following information refers to someone else, based upon first the birth date cited in the family bible which is also the same birth date cited in the reference "The Jamesons in America."

LAND: The Battle of Poison Springs, during the Civil War, was fought in the same area as John Jameson Samuel's farm. It was destroyed and the family was left destitute. Mama was very bitter over the south's defeat because her mother could remember her mother tell of actual happenings. I'll not write about this battle here as it can be read of in printed matter on the Civil War.
From World Family Tree CD Vol. 3, Record 2092: John Jameson Samuel came to Arkansas from Kentucky and had a farm near Poison Springs where the Civil War battle of the same name took place. During that time Union soldiers ransacked the Samuel home looking for food and hidden valuables. Furniture was slashed to pieces with swords and Samuel's front teeth were ground off by Union soldiers in an effort to extract information from him. Fortunately, Samuel's Masonic apron was found by the Union commandant, who was also a Mason, and the torture was stopped. It was said that daughter, Kate, danced for the Union soldiers in exchange for food and coffee.

REF: Early Days in Danville by Calvin Morgan Fackler; 1941. p. 212 - McDowell Park, The Old Graveyard, was originally the burying ground of the "Old First" Presbyterian church. In the northwest division Philip Yeiser, Sr. occupies a more lowly abode than the beautiful one he once builded himself. It is on a line between the Confederate and McDowell monuments, about half way. He was brought here after July, 3, 1833. If cholera carried him off, then it was a rather useless gesture on the part of death, for he was past seventy-eight.
Philip Sr. came to Danville in the 1790's. He was largely interested in tanning. The Yeiser home was the first attempt at a mansion in Danville.
BIRTH-CHILDREN: letter from Carol Jackson to "Mr. Yeiser"; 12/20/81; copy in possn of T.Mason (filed - Philip Yeiser); EXTRACTION: Here is copy of notarized document apparently copied from Catherine and Philip Yeiser's Bible somewhere in Arkansas. (Contains Catherine's birthdate and names and birthdates of 10 children.) The other is material copied from Affie Yeiser Jackson's bible and some updating by me. (Contains two pages of family records.) At end is comment, "As you can tell, the Jacksons are not real great record keepers, but this may give you some idea about this branch of the family, and how some of us are still here in Danville at the Episcopal Church." The document is accompanied by a one page Notary Public testimony given by C.C. Dean the 21st day of October 1885 in Little Rock, Pulaski, Arkansas. EXTRACT: ... page in an old German Bible, belonging to descendants of the Yeiser family, said Bible having been printed as appears by its title page in Hamberg in Germany about the year 1700.

6) Beverly G. Yeiser, Sr. Corresondence 17 Jan. 1998. Following article was included regarding the house that Philip Yeiser built. "The Philip Yeiser home was the first ambitious attempt at a mansion, here (Danville, KY. SJFG) This old place which, once in ever so often, someone calls "Christopher Greenup house," is that beautiful colonial at the head of Second Street. Mr. Philip Yeiser, Sr., who was largely interested in tanning, came to Danville in the 1790's. He bought a tract from John Crow in 1795. Unfortunately the sheet containing the body of the deed is missing from the records. As it doesn't seem to have been either cut or torn out, it was probably omitted when the sheets were rebound at some time. We have it properly indexed, and the acknowledgment shown on page 7, but nothing else. So not until John Yeiser, the son who inherited it, conveyed to Thomas Proctor, do we get the description, which shows that the tract ran from our present Third Street with the north side (as now) of Lexington Avenue. It formed an almost perfect parallelogram, excepting the nipped off southeast corner, at Nichols' ropewalk, and the elongated one upon the northeast. All Danville above Lexington Avenuie (which was not opened until long after) and east of Third once formed a part of the Yeiser farm.1840-1860 Construction Period
Some of our best residences were constructed between 1840 and 1860. Then the Philip Yeiser farm was divided among the heirs of Thomas Proctor who had obtained it from John Yeiser. Philip Yeiser, the master of beautiful Yeiser house, was certainly here in 1794, which year he bought his first real estate." (The above excerpt appears to be from a book.
