People use to ford the river. You may still see the concrete pad which is
between Yamacraw Bridge and the railway trussel.
Has anyone know the origin of the name, Yamacraw? I heard it was an Indian
tribe from South Carolina.

Hi all! Christmas is just around the corner and if you are like me you have at least one or two people that are just impossible to buy for. We never know what to buy them.

I think the Yamacaw Bridge has something to do with the dividing line of Wayne Co. and McCreary Co. Yamacaw River. One side of the bridge says or did say entering Wayne Co. and the other side entering McCreary Co. Maybe the U. S. Forest Service people can come up with something on the subject and the history of it. ??
Was the river the dividing line between Wayne and Whitley Counties before
1912 when McCreary County was made?
I'm not sure either, but I thought all that area, Yamacraw and Hill Top were
Wayne County.

Im not absolutly sure of this, But.....
There used to be another bridge called that. It IS on the dividing line,
always has been, and its on the South Fork. In looking for info about people
who used to live in that area (mine are some of them) you need to bear in
mind that the old bridge was a little south of where the current one is. Im
not at all sure of where, exactly ,it was but several of my Cousins who
lived in the area have mentioned the Old Bridge as a point of refrence.
Hope this helps a bit
Dear List Members,
I just ran across an interesting Website, "Courthouse Experiences"
http://www.bcpl.net/~dmg/courthouse.htm Not every county is listed, but
the ones listed gave helpful information regarding the attitudes of
those working in the courthouses.
I might suggest that if you have had a positive or negative courthouse
experience you add them to this site.
I now know how to prepare myself for several courthouses I want to visit
later this year.

Clear DayI've been in and out of to many censuses. I was thinking that Yamacraw was located in Wayne Co., KY before McCreary Co., KY was formed. I figure that Worley, KY is Worley Hill Top comm. If it is then I believe that Worley would be Whitley Co., KY back then. Does anyone know?
April 23, 1910 Stearns/Yamacraw KYApril 23, 1910 Stearns Coal Co. Mining Camp near Worley, KY So was this camp in Whitley or Wayne Co., KY?????? Thanks,

In reference to the bridge at Yamacraw: The main bridge was built by the
Stearns Coal & Lumber Company for the K & T Railway (Kentucky/Tenessee), and was
owned by the Stearns Coal & Lumber Company. It was for railway only. People did
foot walk it.
This bridge is still standing to this day. There are no tracks on the bridge.
The only other bridge at Yamacraw to my knowledge is the Raised Ford Bridge,
meaning the bridge was raised up just above the water. That is the only name I
have ever heard it call
Does anyone have information or remember Luther & Hattie Jones who lived in
McCreary County? I think Luther died in the mid 1970's - They had children
named William, Dorothy, Edna. Edna stilles lives in McCreay County. William Jr (
know as Ed Jones) Served with the 82nd Airborne during WWII including Sicily,
Normandy, Belgium. My older Brother, William E Jones, Jr currently resides in
Somerset - I live in Missouri. Any info would be greatly apreciated
