per: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/4335/Monroeco/fountainrun.html> History of Fountain Run KY (Taken from posts made by Sandi Gorin to the South-Central-KY list.) Taken from "Fountain Run, Yesterday and Today, on the 100th anniversaary 1855 to 1955, Lucy Goad Albright." ". . .FOUNTAIN RUN, a small town of some four hundred souls, is located in the southwestern end of Monroe County, KY. Specifically, according to the National Archives and Records, it is located three miles north of Barren River and three miles west of Indian Creek. . . .The DOWNING clan of this section which number in the hundreds are descendants of Benjamin Sr. and Sarah GRAY DOWNING. Benjamin Sr. was of English parentage and it appers he and his brother Samuel immigrated from Ireland to the colonies before the Revolution and settled inMaryland. Samuel enlisted in the War for Independence and served three years, being granted a pension May 8, 1820. Benjamin DOWNING Sr immigrated to KY about 1794 and settled near Covington. Later he moved to Green County, KY where he was killed in the manufacture of gun powder. Descendants of Benjamin Sr and Sarah were Rachel, Sarah, Sophia, James, Benjamin Jr., Elizabeth, Mary and Nancy. After the tragic death of Benjamin Sr,his widow, Sarah DOWNING, purchased fifty acres of land in Allen County, on Barren River where she and her family settled. Benjamin DOWNINGJr was born Apr. 9, 1789, in Maryland. After having moved to Allen County with his mother he married Isabella CAMPBELL, daughter of James CAMPBELL, who fought in the Revolutionary War, and Jane SAMPLE CAMPBELL. James and Jane CAMPBELL settled near Fountain Run and endured all the privations of early pioneer life. Four sons were born to Benjamin and Isabella Campbell Downing, James C., Daniel E., Wm. R., and Benjamin; they were also the parents of four daughters, Sarah, Jane, Isabella and Adeline. . . ."
