Feedback: More on Spurlings, Spurlington, Taylor Co., KY LETTERS & FEEDBACK Additional information on Spurling family, for whom Spurlingtonton named. See , RELATED STORY with photo, "1900 ft. long Spurlington Train Tunnel haunted by ghost?," by Larry Smith To ColumbiaMagazine.com No correction. Just additional info on Spurlington, KY. The Spurling family arrived from Fairfax County, Virginia to what is now Spurlington, Ky in 1818 when William Spurling Sr moves to Green County, KY with his family. Later, his older brother, Henson Spurling arrives, too. Henson & William had approximately 33 children total, so the area was quicky filled with Spurlings. Spurlington gains a post office about 1879 with John Kipsey Spurling becomes the first post master and would have submitted the name to the federal government. This coincides with the opening of the tunnel by the L & N RR. The construction of the tunnel was supervised by Fred de Funiak, who married one of the local Spurling girls.John Kipsey Spurling was the son of William Spurling and is buried with many of the Spurlings there next to the Union Ridge Methodist Church in Spurlington. The arrival of the railroad has been likened to the changes today caused by the internet. Spurlings still reside in Taylor County today. s/Mark Phillips This story was posted on 2008-02-07 04:09:34
