Mercer County, Kentucky Wills, Estates, Marriages
Mercer County was formed from Lincoln County in 1785 and was named for the Revolutionary War General Hugh Mercer who was killed at the Battle of Princeton in 1777. The county seat is Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Some of the earliest settlers were: Abraham Bsnta, Alexander Bowling, Daniel, and Cornelius Cozine, George Silvertooth, James Harrod, James Hornback, James Quigley, Thomas Freeman, Thomas Threlkeld, Patrick Lowry, Joseph Bohannon, John McMurtry, Harman Van Dyke, Benoni Swearengin, and Matthew English. The Wills, Estates, Inventories, Orphans, and Guardian Returns are all combined in the same books. A number of pages in these books were too faded and damaged to include. The effort was made by the State of Kentucky to restore some of the images, however, what you see is what you get.
