You might say that Davy Crocket and Daniel Boone’s descendants helped to populate Kentucky, and you would be correct! However, despite their surveying and transporting new settlers into the region, other land companies were formed to bring new immigrants to the lovely forests and landscapes. A colossal land acquisition in Madison County became possible in 1774 when Judge Richard Henderson of North Carolina formed the historic Transylvania Company. This formation acquired lands west of the Appalachian Mountains from the Indians. Remarkedly, a successful purchase was made from the Cherokees of some 20,000,000 acres of land!
