Book Description
By: A. Goff Bedford, Pub. 1958, reprinted 2019, 582 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-893-5. Original known as Bourbon County, Virginia, Clark County was created in 1785 from Fayette County, KY. It was much larger area than present-day Bourbon County, as its original territory included the counties of: Bracken, Boone, Campbell, Estill, Fleming, Floyd, Greenup, Harrison, Kenton, Mason, Montgomery, Lewis, Nicholas, Pendleton, Powell and Robertson. This book is similar to other history books of the era, but what does set it apart is the extensive section of religion and the churches role in its development. This book is filled with over 6,000 names that helped its development.

Book Description
No one played a more important role in the settlement of Clark County than Capt. William "Billy" Bush. Born in Orange County, Virginia, Billy came out with Daniel Boone in 1775, resided for a time at Fort Boonesborough, then spent the rest of his life living a few miles from the fort. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. Billy was also a key figure in establishing Providence Baptist Church, the first church in Clark County. Their place of worship-the Old Stone Church-is now the oldest church on Kentucky soil. Billy Bush laid claim to thousands of acres of land between Winchester and the Kentucky River, and Daniel Boone ran the surveys for him. This land became the foundation of the Bush Settlement.
