Letcher Co. KY is right across the state line from SW Virginia.  
Kentucky became a commonwealth in 1792. Anyone can make a mistake when  
writing down a geographic location, whether from a mental lapse or  
misinformation. Unfortunately finding a primary source a couple of  
hundred years old doesn't guarantee the legitimacy of information, as  
much as we'd like to believe it does :)
