HORSE INDUSTRY Owingsville Wilkes [a horse] will make the season of 1891 at the stable of Jacob Warner, 1 1/4 miles southwest of Owingsville on Slate Creek. J. Dudley Warner

There were many famous horses owned by local residents. There were many citizens who dealt in horse breeding. "Jacob Warner, who had Owingsville Wilkes, Dillard Dudley and Ben Franklin."

From an illustrated History of Bath County, Kentucky by J.A. Richards Jacob Warner was born near Owingsville, Bath County, on June 8, 1827, being a grandson of Jacob Warner, the original pioneer who cleared the farm and built the brick residence on Slate Creek long in the possession of the late Dudley Warner. He was a man of the highest integrity known far and wide for his honorable condust and fair dealings. He was a practical farmer and prospered well, owning several hundred acres of valuable land at the time of his death. He died in 1903 leaving surviving him three children, Dudley Warner, William Warner and Mrs. Jeff Dawson. For many years he had in his possession an old razor, the property of his grandfather, Jacob Warner, who came from Pennsylvania to this county in 1796 and settled on Slate Creek. This razor bore the engraves address "Dickson and Palmer, Flemingsburg, Kentucky" on the blade and dated 1776, though the latter was believed to be the name of the style of the razor and not the date of its manufacture. Wade & Butcher, Sheffield were the makers.

January 16, 2003 By Darrell Warner Today I called Mary Linda (Warner) Copher who lives in Owingsville, Kentucky. When I visited the Warner farm located in Owingsville in 2001 I looked for the 2 houses marked as Jacob Warner residence off an old 1880 map of Owingsville and the area around it. I found the one built by Jacob Warner the son of William and the grandson of Jacob. The other one on the map was located across Slate Creek. I walked along Slate Creek and did not see a way to cross and did not see a house on the other side. This house should have been the original Jacob Warner home who cleared the land. After talking with Mary she remembered the house. She said her father even thought of fixing it up to be a fishing cabin but never did. She said it fell in and was torn down many years ago. She did not realize what the historical value was nor did her father. She did mention that the whirlpool in the bend of Slate Creek was still there. Mary was a wonderful person to talk too and made the offer to help me find things as needed. She said to keep in touch.
