"The Indiana Liquor Law has caused a brisk business to spring up at several points in Kentucky along the Ohio River. The owner of the ferry at Milton is reaping a fortune, and several citizens of Madison talk of erecting taverns in Milton. At Ghent, the jug business is carried on extensively; the horse ferry boat will soon give place to steam - as our Hoosier neighbors, to get steam will put on steam. At Carrollton, the jug traffic is improving, but after all, it may only prove to be an increased appetite for molasses." - Carroll County Times, July 7, 1855 |

How many
towns in the area covered by Northern Kentucky Views were chartered by
Virginia; that is, before 1792 when Kentucky became a state? Two. Maysville
and Milton.
Then again, I've also read that the Milton chartered in Virginia in 1789 is
Milton, Virginia
(in Albemarle County, east of Charlottesville). Anybody know for
sure?? if so, please
email me.
