French Tipton Notes

Be warned that this folder contains some very interesting, yet nearly illegible, notes that Tipton scribbled for a variety of events that took place in and/or around Madison County. They can be read as both locally related fact sheets or actual primary source accounts of the events that took place. The included documents, just to name a few, detail the Battle of Little Mountain (Estill's Defeat), the Richard Calloway Ferry, the C.K. Doty Courthouse gunfight, early marriages in Madison County, church histories and Pott's Mill. Unidentified miscellaneous document sets in Tipton's shorthand can also be found in this folder. A small notebook that lists the political affiliations and names of prominent Kentucky politicians is also included. Presumably, this little notebook served as one of Tipton's many reference materials.
