Note:
The booklet "Recollections: Yesterday, Today for Tomorrow", published in 1969 by Bracken County Homemakers says that Hugh Marshall came to Bracken County with the Philip Buckner party in 1796. There were a total of 40 families, 70 people in all. Philip Buckner of Caroline Co, Virginia was a Captain in the Continental Army of Virginia. As a result of his service, he received several thousand acres of land, beginning in 1781, in Kentucky and Ohio. He made his first trip into the area in 1783, and later made several trips back and forth. In 1793 he took his family and friends and 40 Negroes to Bear Grass Station, a military post (present-day Louisville, Kentucky.) He left them there and returned to VA "to induce other families" to relocate. Who would be more logical to encourage than his own brothers, nephews, and cousins? Apparently he had much land, much more that he could use, and he was offering it to those who would like to have it. Phillip Buckner founded Augusta, Kentucky, one of the earliest settlements on the Ohio River, in 1795. He received the land as a gift from the Commonwealth of Virginia for his gallant participation in the Revolutionary War. Buckner and several scouts first surveyed the 200 acres at the mouth of the Little Bracken Creek in 1780. Pleased with the land development potential, Buckner later returned with his family, a small group of settlers, and 40 slaves. The settlement at that time was part of Mason County. In December 1796, Mason and Campbell Counties were divided to form Bracken County. Augusta was named the county seat. On October 2, 1797, Philip Buckner dedicated 600 acres to the town of Augusta.
