The St Mary's/ Charles County Maryland to Kentucky Migration;
There was a general exodus of people out of St Mary's County at the end of the 18th century. There is an excellent reference for thisoccurren ce in Regina Combs Hammett's book "History of St Mary'sCounty, Marylan d" published in 1976.
The migration out of St Mary's County was part of the general movement out of St Mary's/Charles?Prince George's/County. Between 1790 and18 10 the population decreased from 15,500 to 12,800. Hammettattributes mu ch of this relocation to the counties of north-centralKentucky, particula rly to Washington and Nelson Counties The reasonswere numerous; one reas on was that the federal government offeredpayment in land in exchange f or serving in the Continental Armyduring the Revolution.
In addition, between 1789 and 1799, 480,000 acres of western land were offered to promote settlement. Ads were placed in the MarylandJourna l, Baltimore Advertiser and the Maryland Gazette offering cheapland f or sale and through lotteries. Religious reasons have beencited as reaso ns for going; up until the Revolution, Catholics hadbeen denied the rig ht to hold office. The changes from the land rentsystem to the land owner ship system and the associated debt after theRevolution was another contr ibuting factor.
In 1785 a group of St Mary's/Charles County Catholic families form eda "Catholic League" committing to relocate to Kentucky. The Archdiocese in Baltimore agreed to provide a priest if the group settled together in a contiguous area.
Hammett indicates the way of getting to Kentucky from St Mary's/Charles County was consistent. The settlers traveled overland to Pittsburgh, Pa where they boarded flatboats traveling down the Ohio River toMayvil le, disembarking there to avoid the rapids and the Indiansknown to occu py this region. They then proceeded overland to one of ahalf-dozen "stati ons" where there were blockhouses, for protectionagainst the Indians.
Excerpts from "Sketches of the Early Missions of Kentucky" and "The Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky"
In "Sketches of the Early Catholic Missions of Kentucky" by M J Reverend Martin John)Spalding (1810 - 1972) he Writes "The Catholics of theinf ant colonies received him (Rev Whelan, Irish Franciscan Priestprovid ed to the Kentucky families) with open arms. Many of them hadnot seen a p riest for two years. They were poor, scattered over anextensive territor y, they had no church in which the divine mysteriesmight be offered up. T hey were in too destitute a condition to beable to erect even a tempora ry place of worship."
He goes on to state that there were only 50 Catholic families in Kentucky in 1786, which had emigrated from St Mary's and Prince George'sCount y, Martland. William Coomes (Combs/Coombes) and his 16 year oldson Walt er A were the first known Catholics to emigrate to Kentuckyin 1774 - 177 5. The Haydens and Lancasters led the first CatholicColony in Kentuck y, mostly around Pottinger's Creek about 1785. (Oneof the Hydens lo st 7, and another lost 3 family members from thehardship and sickness whi le on the way to Kentucky)
The next spring, 1786, a larger colony of Catholics was led by Captain James Rapier. In 1787, another colony led Phillip Miles and ThomasHil l, then another in 1788 led by Robert Abell. Benedict Spalding leda gro up in 1790.
"The Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky" by Hon Ben J Webb not es onpage 27: The Pottinger Creek settlement; in the year 1785, a leag ueof 60 families was formed in Maryland, all Catholics, and mostlyreside nts of St Mary's County each of whom was pledged to emigrate toKentucky w ithin a specified time (footnote on this page; The UnitedStates Cathol ic Miscellany of Wednesday, December 1, 1824, mentionsthe fact that abo ut twenty Catholic families reached Kentucky in theyear 1785)

Forerunners of the later emigration arrived in Kentucky in the 1770 'sand their names can be found in a Certificate Book of Virginia LandCom mission. Most of the migration out of St Mary's/PrinceGeorge's/Charles Co unty occurred between 1790 and 1810. Below is alist of settlements whe re many of the St Mary's/PrinceGeorge's/Charles County ended up;
Pottingers Creek Settlement, begun 1785
Hardin Creek Settlement (ten miles east of Pottingers Creek) begun inear ly 1786
Bardstown, county seat of Nelson Co, Ky, incorporated in 1788(Kentucky ad mitted to the Union in 1792)
Cartwrights Creek (about 20 miles from Bardstown, and now part ofWashingt on Co, Ky) begun in 1787
Scott County Settlement (settled as Woodford) begun in 1787
Rolling Fork Settlement begun about 1788. Some of the StMary's/Charles Co unty residents also settled between Rolling ForkSettlement and present d ay Lebanon.
Cox Creek Settlement (later called Fairfield) begun about 1795
The St Mary's/Prince George's/Charles County residents took their extensive knowledge of tobacco growing with them and in these areas ofKentuc ky, tobacco became the primary "cash crop." They also took withthem a uni que food called "stuffed ham" which is a boiled ham,stuffed with seasonin g, kale and other items. It is served cold andhas a very strong taste, wh ich is an acquired taste. It is stillserved in church dinners in St Mary' s/Prince George's/Charles Countyand the only other place where it is kno wn to be served is inKentucky
Richard came to Kentucky after his marriage, and established his ho meon Cartwright Creek (1795) which was located near the present Catholic Church of St Rose in Washington Co, near the town of Springfield.In 18 02 Richard moved with his family (and probably slave) to CaseyCreek Preci nct # 12, Adair Co, Ky. He was accompanied by the familiesof ; Henry Clem ents, Nicolas Wheatley, Wilfred Miles, and John Speakswho settled on cont iguous farms. This group of families was laterjoined by the families o f; James, Montgomery and several otherfamilies.
Richard's farm (part of a tract owned by John Grundy) of one hundr edacres was situated (according to the deed) "on the East Fork of CaseyC reek - waters of the Green River." Richard, the unofficial leader ofthe g roup, died in the 1830's. It is believed that Richard had sevensons and m ost of the present Wethingtons can trace their roots tohim.
