Edith Wood, Ch. I: "As late as 1810, there were 113 Indians in Jefferson County . . . white men were in the Middletown vicinity as early as 1769. . . . Abraham Lincoln, the President's grandfather, was killed by Indians in ambush, in 1786, less than seven miles from Middletown. . . . The Commonwealth of Kentucky was created in 1792 . . . and Middletown was created in May 1797."
Edith Wood, Ch. II, p. 13-14: "The 'Abell Home', [built "sometime after 1803" and] the last house on the south side of Main Street at the east end of town, is a two-story dwelling with the front wall of Flemish bond brickwork. Evidently, Joseph wanted to put up agood front! The other walls are fashioned in the ordinary pattern . . . and all are solid brick twelve inches thick. There are six rooms and two halls. Two of the seven outside doors are in the front, four in the back, and one on the east side. . . . All of the rooms have large fireplaces. . . . The slave quarters were demolished years ago."
