Jefferson County

History

On the Ohio River in the Bluegrass region of north central Kentucky, Jefferson County was formed in 1780 from Kentucky Co., VA. Its county seat, Louisville, is on I-64 about 70 miles west of Lexington. Jefferson is bordered by the Kentucky counties of Hardin, Bullitt, Spencer, Shelby and Oldham, as well as by the Indiana counties of Harrison, Floyd and Clark.

Note: The above two Culpeppers died on the same day in the same place and had a residence in Michigan. It seems likely that this was a married couple who were involved in a fatal automobile accident. Also note that Louisville (Jefferson Co.) is on I-75, a major north-south route from Michigan to Florida. Since this couple has not been identified and since there are numerous African-American Culpeppers in Michigan who are not in our family tree, this couple is presumed to be African-American.
