Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky to the General Assembly of Virginia, 1769 to 1792

That your Petitioner at the request and solicitations of a number of the Inhabitants in the Kentucky District has provided himself with a Boat, Hands &c for the purpose of keeping a Ferry across the Kentucky River from Lands of his own in Lincoln County to his Lands in Fayette County at the mouth of Hickmans Creek where the publick Warehouses are ordered to be erected. Your Petitioner therefore prays this Honorable House to pass an Act for establishing the same a publick Ferry and fixing the rates of Ferriage. And whereas the keeping of a Ferry across the Kentucky River will be attended with more trouble and inconvenience than is usual on Rivers of that size owing to its peculiar situation & its being fordable generally six or seven months of the year your petitioner is induced to ask your Honble House for such as Augmentation to the general rates of Ferriage as may enable him to attend and serve the publick faithfully--

I Levi Todd Clerk of the County aforesaid do certify that James Hogan did legally advertise that he intended presenting this Petition at the ensuing Session of Assembly. Given under my Hand this 13th day of September 1785 --

From Jessamine County Kentucky 1798-1993: One of Jessamine  county's first ferries was at the mouth of Hickman Creek near  present day Camp Nelson. It was established by the Virginia  General Assembly in 1785 on the lands of James Hogan to be  operated by him between the counties of Lincoln and Fayette.  James Hogan also built a warehouse at this location for the  prising and shipping of tobacco and other commodities. In 1802  Hogan leased his ferry to William Downs and John Moss. In 1838  a covered bridge was erected across the river at the mouth of  Hickman which eventually led to the ferry's demise. This was  the only bridge to span the river, in central Kentucky, until  after the Civil War. Prior to 1800 William Downs, had  apparently operated a ferry near Handys Bend at Elk Shoals  about 3 miles upstream from High Bridge. The 1799 Jessamine Co  Court Orders mentions "Viewing a proposed road from Down's  Ferry to the Seat of Justice," (Nicholasville) 

In the minutes of the Circuit court of Jessamine county, there  are numerous entries for William and his brother Benoni  regarding the leasing of this ferry. Apparently Mr. Hogan and  then Mr. Moss owed William money from this transaction and  William tried for many years to collect it. 

Ferries.

Two of the earliest ferries established in Kentucky were with- in the limits of Jessamine county.

The first ferry in Kentucky was across the Kentucky river at Boonesboro. authorized in October, 1779, by the Legislature of \'irginia, on the farm of Col. Richard Callowax-. while the second ferrv established b\- legislative authorit\- in Kentucky was at the mouth of Hickman creek in 1785. 'ihe act was as follows:

"Be it enacted by the General Asseml)ly, that public ferries shall be constantly ke])t at the following places and the rates for jKissing the same be as followeth, that is to say : from the land of James Hogan in the county of Lincoln across the Kentucky river at the mouth of 1 lickman's creek to his land on the opposite shore in the county of kayelte. for a man four ])ence, and for a horse the same."

Up to 1786, ( miy the ferries had been established in Kentucky ; two across the Ohio river and three across the Kentucky river. Tn 1786, two more were established, one of which was the ferry at the mouth of Dick's river, the legislative act for which was as

follows: 158 Historij of Jessmnine Comity, Kentucky.

"Section I. Whereas, it has l)eeii represented to this present General Assenil)ly that it wouhl be of pubHc utiHty to estabhsh a warehouse for tlie reception and inspection of tobacco on the land of John C'urd in the county of Mercer;

"Sec. II. He it therefore enacted that an inspection of to- bacco shall be and same is hereby established on the land of John Curd l_\inj;- at tlie mouth of Dick's river in the county of Mercer, to be called and known l)y the name of Curd's warehouse.

"Sec. V. Be it further enacted that a public ferry shall l)e con- stantl\- Icept at the folh^wing places and the rates for passing the same as followeth, that is to say: Upon the land of the said John Curd in tlie count}' of Mercer across the Kentucky river to the opposite shore, for a man four pence, and for a horse the same, and for the transportation of wheeled carriages, tobacco, cattle and other beasts at the place aforesaid, the ferry keeper mav de- mand and take the same rates as are !)}• law allowed at other fer- ries. If the ferry keeper shall demand or keep from any person or persons whatsoever any greater rates than are hereby allowed, he shall for every ofifense forfeit and pay to the party aggrieved the ferriage demanded or received and ten shillings, to l)e awarded with costs before the justice of the peace of the county where the offense shall be committed."
