Collection
Correspondence, business papers and genealogical data chiefly of
the Lewis, Starling and Bibb families, who migrated to western Kentucky
in the early 1800s, comprise the major portion of the collection.
Of special interests are the Civil War letters of Samuel M. Starling,
who in his 50s, experiences the battle of Perryville, Kentucky,
and the chase of John Hunt Morgan into Ohio. Includes also letters
of John Bibb, the developer of Bibb lettuce.
