- Revolutionary War Veterans, a father of a president, explorers, adventurers, War of 1812 Veterans, inventor of the flat boat, court house burned, capture of commander of Quantrill's Raiders, a spy that may have changed the outcome of the Civil War, and an inventor of products that changed the world for the blind, Spencer County, Kentucky! In this video we briefly cover these amazing stories that the county has to offer.
We tell the story of Spier Spencer, of whom the county is named after and Richard Taylor whom the county seat is named for. We also tell stories with names like Captain William Quantrill, Felix Grundy Stidger, James Morrison Heady, Jacob Yoder and many more!

Spier Spencer is one of my Ancestors. Proud of my family roots.

Great video Russ. A lot of history that I did not know about spencer county. I have learned a lot of history that I was unaware of about alot of counties in Kentucky. I really appreciate all the hard work you put in when creating these videos on the history of our state an it's counties. An the people who are responsible for them/helped developed an establish them. An fought for our freedom an land long ago. There's not alot of us left out there that really appreciates the history of our land an the ones responsible for developing it. Thanks again for all your hard work. Catch you on your next history adventure.😁👍👍
Thank you sir! Yes it does take a lot of hard work but we are passionate about it. Sooooo much on the way!
really enjoyed this brief history of a small place.
Thank you sir! Over the next few weeks you will see videos of each story we mention in this video.
Great job, I grew up in Louisville just a few hundred yards from Taylorsville Road...had no idea of the rich history of Spencer Co and Taylorsville.
How about that!? That is kind of my point with making these videos, so few know. Be on the look out over the next few weeks, we made separate videos of each story that we speak of in this video!
Outstanding video. I had no idea about the history of the county. I grew up in Lexington and spent most of history travels in the central bluegrass. I will have to take a trip to Spenser County upon my return to Kentucky.
Yes sir! It’s amazing how much history is in that county. Be sure to look out over the next few weeks for videos on each subject that we touched on in this one.
Cant wait to hear this. My 3rd great grandfather helped found Spencer Co. I am headed there in May
Wonderful! He wound have known several of these people.
That's very interesting! How did he help? Tell us more about this!!!
Officially addicted to your videos... so informative and well put together... also developing a little man crush on you, sir...
Thank you sir! Sooooo many on the way!
Until I traveled around KY, I didn't realize how much history was in KY. I thought there was Boonsboro, Logan's fort, things like that. I also didn't realize how hard the CSA fought for KY during the CW. I knew of Morgan's raid and few things. But both were a lot deeper than I originally thought. Good job
Thanks. It’s amazing how much history is here in Kentucky. Maybe because it’s in the middle of everything in American history. Geographically and population wise so to speak.
I may be deaf, but I'm pretty sure you said he was born in 1770 & got married in 1883 at a whopping 123 years of age. Did I hear you wrong, or...or...??? Now, I love your videos. I'm NOT poking fun at you, & it's possible I heard you wrong. (My hearing is not so good) Anyway, love your channel. Thanks 4 ur hard work.
Haha wow, oops! Had to go back & watch that. Missed it in all those views haha.
Very good guys. Always enjoy your material. By the way I've got a genealogy crisis. Haha. My 3rd great grandpa was Edmond Joseph Collins. He was born somewhere in the 1840s in TN. I don't know when he came to my area of Arkansas but I know it was 1892 when his son Samuel Benjamin Collins was born here. All we know is that Ed came from TN and died shortly after Samuel was born (of unknown causes). Samuel always seemed to be a bit darker-skinned and he had a twin named Tennessee who looked like an indian. I wonder if Ed was a melungeon. After doing some research I found one of the pioneer Melungeon figures who settled in TN in early 1800s was a man named Benjamin Collins. Benjamin had a son named Edmund Ben Collins. I wonder if there is some connection to my Edmond Collins here. My aunt who would be Edd's great grandchild took a DNA test that said 2% Nigerian. They say melungeons have African ancestry. I also wonder If Samuel Benjamin Collins would be named after this pioneer Benjamin Collins. Anyways thanks for reading and if yall offer geneology services I would love to look into it.
I tried to attach some l i n k s to research papers and websites but TH-cam deleted them. I'd be happy to communicate over email

@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy thanks. Got to go to school now but will check on it later :)
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy I sent some emails
Over the past month I have been researching The Battle of Tippecanoe which is 2 hrs Northeast me. Also The Battle at Fort Harrison in Terre Haute which was attacked by 400 Indians about the same time of Tippecanoe. Pigeon Roost Massacre south Indiana North Louisville. And several others in Illinois and Indiana. Great job I will be looking forward to your next video. Have you ever heard of Gen. Robert Matson from Kentucky? He has a direct connection to my home town and my relatives Gideon Ashmore. He was involved in what is considered one of Lincoln's top ten trials (Matson Slave Trial). Lincoln represented him and lost his case. Old History buff! Thanks.
Sir the Indian War & War of 1812 is what we plan to film this coming winter! Feel free to send us ideas as we make many of them. We will have to check out General Matson too!
My 5th great grandfather William Ashmore and his brother Capt. Samuel Ashmore served in the War of 1812. I have copies of their enlistment dates and payroll. The only one I have for my grandfather is Georgia Militias May 1814 to Dec.1815 and Capt. Samuel Ashmore Tenn. Militia same I think. Both buried here in Oakland, Il. Fought with Andrew Jackson Battle of New Orleans.We had several in our family with the name Jackson years ago.Samuel like Andrew Jackson. Creek Indian War. Fort Mims was brutal. Sorry to talk so much but always been interested in American History.@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy
