This work, which treats the same area as Kozee's Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky , is largely a source-book of genealogical data, rather than a collection of family histories. Genealogical information on each county is uniform and is arranged in the following manner: first is given the boundary and establishment by law of each county; next, a synopsis of the earliest court records pertaining to the county; then, often a list of pioneer families according to the 1810 federal census and various county tax lists--alphabetically arranged by head of household; and finally, and of greatest importance to the researcher, marriage records of various southeastern Kentucky counties. Additional sections of interest include lists of Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War soldiers.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Partially a good resource but flawed,
By Laura B. Mckenzie "Laura Brown Mckenzie" (On a mountain in Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky (Paperback)
The vital records collected and available in this book are very useful but the genealogy of the families is quite flawed. A researcher would want to verify each bit of information. My own families (Browns, Prestons, Van Hooses, Williams, etc) are in this book and the mistakes are numerous.

This review is from: Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky (Paperback)
The book on the history of Eastern KY was what I expected it to be. I appreciate the work done by the author and I found some helpful information in it regarding my own family background.

Clay County descendant of Allen, Baker, Daniel,
By
This review is from: Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky (Paperback)
I am from Kentucky but now live in North Carolina. A relative traced my family tree back two generations, but no farther. Although I had no burning interest in genealogy per se, I wondered what eastern state my relatives came from. On 1 January 2008, an aunt sent me a package with lineage traced back to Adoniram Allen b.1734. I traced Adoniram back to England 1636, so in one fell swoop I now have part of my traced lineage. I enjoyed the Kozee book, because I am also descended from two Baker lines. Robert Baker, in whose house the first Clay County court was held, is also my ancestor. I enjoyed reading about the early history of Kentucky. Another relative is Kenus Fara Daniel, but I have not traced his parents, grandparents. Perhaps the Thomas W Daniel noted in the Clay County section will help me make future connections.
