We continue the Bullitt County 1850 census written by Mrs. W. V. Mathis, Wallace A. McKay and W. C. Barrickman. Betty Darnell shared this in The Pioneer News on 7 Nov 1990.
These records have been briefly compared to images of the census pages, and occasional additions or corrections have been made. Those changes we consider significant are noted with red print. Also, the census dwelling house number and family number according to visitation has been added, like this: [1/1].
28 October 1949
(The HOLZCLAW family traces its history back to Hans Henrich HOLZCLAN of Druppach, Germany, and his wife Gertrut, 1666. Twelve families of German Protestants came to Essex, now Orange County, Virginia in 1714, including Jacob HOLZCLAW, schoolmaster, his wife Margaret, and his sons John and Henry. HOLTSCLAW descendants came to Kentucky before the Revolution. William H. HOLTSCLAW married in 1833 to Llewellyn CRIST, daughter of Nicholas and Ruth BRISCOE CRIST. Burilla, daughter of William H. HOLTZCLAW, married George E. W. SIMMONS; and their daughter Lula married Tom COCHRAN. - W. C. Barrickman)
