EASTERN KENTUCKY CENTURIONS Following is a list of individuals that lived in Knott, Perry, Floyd, Magoffin, Breathitt or other Southeastern KY county who lived to be near 100. I say near because I am including those that was last know to be close in a census, cemetery listing, death records, etc or/and could have been 100 or older when they passed away. Some born early 1800's and late 1700's I may let slide to 90 to qualify. Females are listed as name is found in source document so for some that may be their married surname. If you run across a qualified name in a obit, census or other sources, please send me a e-mail with Centurion as subject line. We do not want to list anyone still living except with written permission ....submitted by Damon Wicker |
