Hardin County, Kentucky was formed in 1792 from land partitioned from Nelson County, which itself was created from Jefferson County in 1784. Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the 15th State on June 1, 1792. Prior to that it was known as the Kentucky District and was within the jurisdiction of Virginia. The first permanent European settlement was founded in 1774 by James Harrod at the site of present day Harrodsburg in Mercer County. On 4 March 1843, the southeast portion of Hardin County was set of to form LaRue County.
The Family History Library has filmed and since digitized the deed books for Hardin County. Digital images can be accessed from a home computer at the FamilySearch.org website: Hardin County, Kentucky Deeds, 1793-1902; index 1795-1904. A list of deeds involving persons named BREWER.

This post has been in the draft file for some months now. My original intention was to abstract these deeds. Plans have changed, I will not be doing that at this time. Perhaps this list will serve as a bit of a shortcut to anyone who may be interested in the Brewer families of Hardin County, Kentucky.
