"Early Pioneer Families" of Southeastern Kentucky

Searching in Southeastern Kentucky for my family has been both a challenge and a joy. In the early days of this area, only a few strong men and women came into the wilderness to make their homes and raise their families. I have found many of my ancestors among the first to settle in Clay Co, Knox Co, and Bell Co Kentucky and Claiborne Co, Tennessee.Please join the search with me for these Surnames:

ASHER--BEGLEY--BOWLING--DOWNEY--FUSON--GOFORTH--GOODIN--
HENDRICKSON--KINCAID--MARTIN--MANAN--PFAFF--ROBINSON--
VANBIBBER

Will share what I have found with you..
