History
|
| Logan County, the thirteenth county in order of formation, is located in the Pennyroyal region of western Kentucky.
The first settlement was Maulding's Station on the north fork of the Red River in 1780; the Maulding family became prominent county residents.
A diverse mixture of people immigrated to Logan County. Peter Cartwright, a noted Methodist minister who lived near Adairville from 1793 to 1802,
damned the area as "Rogue's Harbor" because it was the home of the lawless from almost all parts of the Union-murderers, horse thieves, highway robbers, and counterfeiters.
In this setting, the GREAT REVIVAL of 1800, led by the Rev. James McGready, a Presbyterian minister, started at Red River Meeting House.
In 1807 many members of the Gasper Presbyterian Church, including John Rankin, the minister, joined with three Shaker missionaries to form the Shaker
settlement at South Union (twelve miles east of Russellville). |
