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 13 Jan 1992.
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].
24 March 1950 (no column)
31 March 1950
From about 1870 to 1900, Shepherdsville had two stores. "Maraman Brothers" store was founded by William, Harry L. and James MARAMAN, sons of Henry O. MARAMAN and his wife, Elmira TROUTMAN. The original firm of "Troutman Brothers" were her brothers.
"Maraman Brothers" eventually passed into the hands of Judge Conrad MARAMAN and his sons Nat and Roy MARAMAN, while "Troutman Brothers" finally came into possession of the sons of Mike and Sophie TROUTMAN, Frank, Lee, Fillmore, and for a time, Hite TROUTMAN. Mike and Sophie's daughters were Mary Ellen, Emma, Minnie, and Ida.
