Elizabeth 'Betsy' Tyler was an unknown person in the history of western colonial Pennsylvania. She has been the subject of innumerable stories most of which describe only an event, not Betsy. Her story was first published on August 10, 1785 in the American Daily Advertiser, a Philadelphia daily newspaper owned by Messrs Dunlap and Claypoole. Many other newspapers of the day picked up the story and reprinted it. Her name was not mentioned in any of them. Betsy and John had five children, but only one lived to maturity. In 1782 Betsy and three of her children were massacred by an Indian scalping party. Another daughter died from her wounds later. Her first child, Delilah, was all that was left of Betsy's life. Nothing has been written about Betsy or Delilah until now. This book tells the stories of Betsy's ancestors, her parents and siblings, her life with the preacher John Corbly, and the life and descendants of Delilah, her only surviving child and legacy.

The Families of Nancy Ann Lynn Corbly is the story of her life with her Lynn family, and, after marrying Pastor John Corbly, her life in that family. Nancy Ann Lynn was born into a family firmly grounded in its old, well-established Scot-Irish roots. She was the daughter of an early pioneer family who migrated westward across the Allegheny Mountains into the uncivilized lands, the Pittsylvania Country, which was claimed by Virginia and Pennsylvania. All the men she knew as a child including her brothers, father, uncles, and, yes, she also knew John Corbly at an early age, all of them served in some military capacity in the Revolutionary War and in the many wars against the Indians. She lost two uncles and a brother in the fights against the Indians. This book includes the genealogical biographies of her Lynn and Corbly families and includes a genealogical and individual index.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.

With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.
