Does anyone have any old history of families in Greenup Co., KY? Or can anyone tell me about cutting staves for barrels? I understand that my GreatGrandfather did that for a living besides mining and farming. For instance, who made the barrels and was it for whiskey or something else, such as gains? What were barrels used for in the 1800's?  |

Thank you Annette, Yes, I already have family history. I wanted to know if anyone has information about making barrels in Greenup Co. or surrounding counties. I know that my Great Grandfather Charles W. Friend, cut staves for barrels and I was wondering if there was a barrel company in the area since that was one of the ways he earned a living? I thought maybe someone in the area might know about the barrel business and what the barrels were used for, maybe some pictures in old area books or articles? I anyone runs across anything like that, I would love to know.
