In January of 1809 the circuit courts were given authority to grant divorces. Some of these records come from a list of made by a gentleman named Glenn Cliff while he was working at the Kentucky Historical Society in the 1950's. This list of divorces was printed in the magazine "Bluegrass Roots" published by the Kentucky Genealogical Society beginning in the Spring of 1980. Some of these records I found while searching through the individual counties in the circuit court clerk's records and some are from reports of the Kentucky State Legislature." --Shirley Reynolds Keaton, Elizabeth Keaton, John Jan 23, 1827 sr Restored to her maiden name Elizabeth Shelton.
