Mike Watson: The Permanent Settlement of Adair County/II First Teacher/Installment II This is a historical sketch on the subject of Adair County's earliest permanent settlement as written by Judge Rollin T. Hurt, Columbia, Kentucky, 1919. The following, in the original tone of Judge Hurt, was published some years ago as "History of Adair County, Kentucky, by Judge Rollin T. Hurt" and edited by Mike Watson. A few clarifications have been made, as footnotes and/or in brackets, to aid the reader. A little early history of our town and county for those who are so inclined to learn more about their place upon this continent. Previously on ColumbiaMagazine: Mike Watson: The Permanent Settlement of Adair County by Judge Rollin T. Hurt Prepared and submitted by Mike Watson, Adair County Historian The First Teacher In 1793 [Colonel William] Casey caused to be opened and taught the first school ever taught within the bounds of Adair County. At least it was the first school of which there is any record or tradition. He employed one Arthur Hopkins, who afterwards resided in Lexington, to teach school for the period of one year in Casey's and Butler's Stations, and in Casey's Station on Butler's Fork. For this service Casey agreed to pay Hopkins the sum of fourteen pounds and Isaac Butler, John Reynolds, Francis Pelham, John Harvey, Henry Rennick and William Butler jointly agreed to pay him ten pounds, which in all amounted to less than ten dollars a month. The exceeding scarcity of money in the county at the time is shown, not only in the meager salary which was paid to the teacher, but the manner of its payment.
