  • Notes 
    • HISTORY: From "History of Woodford County, Kentucky" by Wm E. Railey 1938 at
      Bellingham Library R929.3R: He was born in Augusta County, VA Oct 1743 and
      built his home on the Greenbrier River, in what is now Pocahontas County, West
      Virginia, and was known as Clover Lick Fort, an outpost used during the
      Revolution against the Indians. This estate had been sold to his cousin, Major
      Jacob Warwick, when he removed to Kentucky, and settled in Woodford County,
      near Pisgah Church, where many of his descendants now reside. He came to
      Kentucky with his brother-in-law, John Gay, in September 1783. In February
      1784, moved out into what is Woodford county (Kentucky), and opened and
      operated a sugar camp. In 1795 Col. Alexander Dunlap and Major Samuel
      Stevenson expored southern Ohio for desirable lands. In 1804 he removed to
      Brown County, Ohio, and also acquired land near Chillicothe, on the Sciota.
      Col. Alexander Dunlap was an Indian fighter in the Greenbrier, and on the Weaw
      campaign in Kentucky. His title of Colonel was received through service in the
      Virginia State militia.
