An article about the Children's Home will be featured in a future issue of the Knox Countian magazine.

What Our Patrons Have to Say...
Question: to access your files on the Cain family in Drawer 4, do I have to drive down there? I live in Cincinnati and am doing family research. I belong to the KY Historical Society but am at a dead end. Thank you.

Very informative post.Really thank you! Awesome....
I would love to read the article by Charles Reed Mitchell titled The Killing of Levi Lee. Can you tell me how I can get this article?
My ancestors were William and Jesse Moore who m. Peggy Cathers and had many children. Wm and son Jesse Moore purchased land on Little Racoon Creek (now Laurel county) in 1810. William and Mary Moore lived in Woodford county and came from Culpepper, VA. May be related to owner of indentured servant merchant ship late 1600s through early 1700s.
Would love to connect to others related to Jesse Moore.
