Flanagan Web version copyright 1998 Gary L. Flanagan I originally compiled this data during 1984-1985 from the original documents in the Russell Co., KY Courthouse. The contents were transcribed onto index cards, which were transcribed into typewritten form in 1985. The Web version consists of files scanned from the typed document. While I am proofreading this material and comparing it to the typed version as I make it available on the Web, it is subject to error at the time of transcription, typing, and scanning.

The format is as follows: Groom's name, bride's name. Date. Person performing the marriage. Date of bond, surety. Witnesses. Other information (parentage, notes, etc.) Book- page.

The Kentuckian Citizen, 1 November 1962. Paris Man, 38, Burns to Death At His Home (this headline says that he is 38, yet the obit below states 33..) A Paris man was burned to death here early Saturday morning when he apparently was trapped in the kitchen of his burning home. The victim was identified as #Emmett Burns, 33, of Highland Lane. Fire Chief Walter Ishmell (Ishmael) said the fire evidently started in the front part of Burns house about 4:45 a.m. When the blaze was brought under control about one hour and 45 minutes later, Burns' body was found in the kitchen near a hot water heater, the fire chief said. The victim suffered third degree burns over his entire body. The house was destroyed. The victim's wife and three children were at the home of Burns' family when the fire occurred. Fire Chief Ishmell said the cause of the fire was not known. Burns is survived by his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Burns; a daughter, Brenda Faye Burns, at home; two sons, Danny Norwood Burns and Larry Owen Burns, at home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burns, Paris; four sisters, Mrs. Ray Tramby and Mrs. W.O.

This frontier fort, a significant early gateway to the settlement of the West, is being excavated by Kim McBride, professor of archaelogy at the University of Kentucky and co-director of the Kentucky Archaeological Survey. Located in Lincoln County on the edge of what is now Stanford, the small fort served as a safe haven for settlers and as a base for scouting further into what is now Kentucky. Through this and other forts, settlement of the area became possible. "This area was a very important one in the early settlement of this region by Euro-Americans," says McBride. Physical description of individual forts from this era are rare, and few physical-drawings exist, though documents do provide detail on militia and scouting. Archaeological excavations are necessary to fully understand the size, appearance, location and occupational history of these forts. While locating these sites is a first step toward their preservation, full-scale excavations are needed to understand variations in the physical structure of these forts. Archaeology also helps people understand the material used by the early settlers at their forts and home sites. Written accounts about Logan's Fort tell that the fort site, near a spring, was chosen in 1775. Construction was completed in 1977 (sic). Sometimes up to 19 single men lived in the fort, along with seven families. When danger from Indians brewed, settlers were called back into the fort for protection. According to research done by Clyde N Bunch, a member of the Logan's Fort Foundation, the log fort was 90 feet by 150 feet, and gates--located at the east and west ends--were raised and lowered by leather thongs. Two blockhouses were built on each end of the south side, with three cabins between them. A blockhouse, built on the northwest corner, was adjoined by four cabins. A conventional cabin, situated on the northeast corner, is thought to be the one built by Benjamin Logan. The site was difficult to excavate because it has been reused many times. By 1780, most of the families had permanently left the fort, according to McBride. "Documents suggest a possible house there in 1820, probably another house by the 1850s, and the one standing today. An additional complication was that the L and N railroad put a track through the site in the 1860s," she says. "One of the goals of the excavation was to open up the investigation to the public," says McBride. Recently, during a period of 12 days, hundreds of volunteers helped excavate. Most of what they found could be dated to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, says McBride. "While we have not been able to distinguish the boundaries of the fort as of yet, we have recovered a great deal of information that will help us understand the lives of the people who relied on the fort," says archaelogist M Jay Stottman, an MA graduate from UK who is on staff with the Kentucky Archaeological Survey. "Not only are we trying to understand the past, we are trying to get the public to touch and understand the past," Stottman Adds. "Archaelogy makes history and the process of understanding tangible, which proveds more than just facts. It creates experiences and memories that will become history."
