Book Title: A History Of Jessamine County, Kentucky

Sulphur Well

   Sulphur Well, about five miles from Nicholasville in the southeastern part of
the county, was for many years a prosperous village. The discovery of a well of
sulphur water gave this town its name. For a long time many persons frequented
the place to have the benefit of the waters, which were supposed to have
medicinal value. It is on the main road from Nicholasville to Hickman creek. The
first settler in the village was John Walters, a Baptist minister, and he
succeeded in having a Baptist church built there in 1813. Mr. Walters and Robert
Ashurst preached to the church for several years.

   Of late years, the village has had its name changed to Ambrose. It is
improved very much; and the buildings in the village are neat and tasteful, and
the people kind and hospitable.
