  • Notes  Married:
    • Kentucky became a state in 1792, so Mason County in 1790 was a part of Kentucky County, Virginia.

      "Washigton was established in 1786, by the Virginia Legislature, six years before Kentucky became a state. By 1790 it had grown to 119 log cabins, the second largest town in Kentucky. After separation from Bourbon County in 1788 Washington became the county seat of Mason County, which included nearly one-fourth of the area of Kentucky.

      In 1792 Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the 15th state, and many Westerners hoped that Washington, the thriving little city, with its 119 log cabins, would be the capital of the United States."
