Marhopper3 : I always thought of Shelby County as slightly closer to Louisville than Lexington. Hahahaha I've driven through there, but I've never really spent much time there. While about a quarter of my family is from New England, about 62% is Kentuckian. Of the Kentuckian portion of my ancestry, about a quarter is from the Eastern Kentucky mountains and the rest (37%) of my ancestry is from Central Kentucky.
@BostonAC : Shelby county is closer to Louisville than Lexington but when I'm trying to give someone an idea of my location, it's easier to use the bigger cities than the smaller ones.
If y'all buy sausage and it's Purnells, I went to high school with all those kids. They're from Simpsonville, in Shelby County, I doubt anyone knows where Simpsonville is tho. 😂
The horse farms have spread out and there are some amazing ones in Shelby County. I also went to school with the Crabtree kids and they are famous breeders/trainers. 4951
