2.   From "The Alexander Stewart Family of Kentucky":
   
   Alexander Stewart settled in the Cumberland River Valley in an area between Turkey and Stinking Creeks, a few miles from the village of Flatlick.
   Decker notes that “Flat Lick was a famous old place on the Warrior's Path, Boone Trace, and the Old State Road. Almost all early explorers, pioneers, and settlers mention it. Captain Ambrose Arthur, who, with his father, Colonel Thomas Arthur, first settled near ‘the Flat Lick!' about 1800, told members of his family that there was, in reality, a large flat lick near the old village. Almost a half acre of flat rock had been licked bare by wild animals in quest of salt. Since that date the rock has disintegrated, and vegetation has sprung up."
