This book is about the original settlers of my hometown and how they survived harsh times. They thought they had a land deed; instead, it was a marriage license to an Indian princess.

Padgett Farm, home to five generations of my Padgett ancestors, thrived at the confluence of Otter Creek and Dry Branch in Meade County, #Kentucky. In 1937, the Federal Government acquired the land to expand Fort Knox—a pivotal moment that redefined my family’s legacy. 🌾 #Genealogy #KentuckyHistory
