Mike Watson: The Permanent Settlement of Adair County A little early history of our town and county for those who are so inclined to learn more about their place upon this continent. 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. Previously on ColumbiaMagazine: William Casey sketch from Judge Rollin T. Hurt by Judge Rollin T. Hurt Prepared and submitted by Mike Watson, Adair County Historian The permanent occupation of the territory which now constitutes Adair County, to any considerable extent, was accomplished by Colonel William Casey and about thirty other men, some of whom had families and who joined themselves together upon the Hanging Fork of Lick [Dick's or Dix] River, in Lincoln County, and moved in a body to Adair County. Mr. [William B.] Allen, in his History of Kentucky, says that this movement occurred in the spring of the year 1791. There is no record anywhere which will verify the correctness of this statement as to the date of its occurrence. These men of the woods, though they made it, did not write history. They did not keep records, and no one has arisen to write the history made by them except Mr. Allen; and the facts which he relates pertaining to them and their history are meager. The statements made by Mr. Allen with reference to this were founded necessarily upon tradition, and were not written until as much as eighty years had passed away after the occupation of the county. The fact, however, does not militate against the accuracy of the statements if the information was acquired from men who had associated with the pioneers and heard the stirring story of their lives and actions from their lips.
