Trimble Co. Items from Collins' History of Kentucky
| August 8, 1839 | In favor of a convention to revise the [Kentucky] constitution, only 28,170 votes were cast, out of 104,622 voters in the state - less than 27 per cent, whereas over 50 per cent are required for success; in Owen county, 12 per cent of the voters vote for a convention; in Mason, 8; in Campbell, 50; and in Trimble, not a vote. |
| Feb. 28, 1854 | The house had passed, by 47 to 35, a bill to establish the Milton Bank of Ky,; capital $800,000, with branches at Lancaster, Standford and Prestonburg; it was defeated in the Senate by a tie vote. [There is an issue in my mind whether this refers to the town of Milton, or a man named Milton] |
| March 12, 1854 | Miss Delia Webster - who, out of sympathy for her sex, was pardoned out of the Kentucky penitentiary several years ago when she was a prisoner for aiding the Rev. Calvin Fairbanks in the escape of slaves - not long after removed to Madison, Indiana, and recently to Kentucky opposite Madison; and with Rev. Norris Day, has assisted away many slaves. Large meetings held in Oldham, Trimble and Henry counties; Miss Webster first requested, and then compelled to remove from the state. |
