By virtue of its location along the Cumberland River, Cumberland County was settled early, having been established by the Kentucky Legislature in 1798.1 Little is known about the early history of Marrowbone except that initial settlement probably occurred soon after the formation of the county. A post office was officially established in 1829, but development progressed slowly as most of the county's trade and commerce was diverted to Burkesville, the county seat located ten miles to the east on the Cumberland River. Marrowbone's existence was almost totally dependent on traffic along Highway 90, the main turnpike that connected Burkesville and Glasgow, the county seat of Barren County. During the early 1860s William Barton (1837-1900), a native of Metcalfe County, moved to Marrowbone and built his two-story house as a wedding present for his wife Susan. Barton was a dry goods merchant and also served as the village's postmaster from 1878-1898. 2

The initial settlement of Marrowbone and Casey Fork was closely associated with the establishment of the Presbyterian Church. In 1818 the first Camp Meeting was held to Casey Fork, and by July, 1830, Reverend Caleb Weeden and Joshua Barton had come to Marrowbone from Glasgow to organize a church. The Casey Fork (Marrowbone) meeting was the beginning of the Presbyterian Church in Cumberland County.4
