Facts and Events
FROM THE BATH COUNTY MEMORIES, 1811-1976 "The Jacob Warner house is still standing on Slate Creek. Even the split rail fence, slave cabins and all, are still there. The house built in the 1800's and they had about seven slaves, who lived in the cabins on the farm. One of the slave women was known as "Granny" and she remained on the farm even after they were freed. She lived in a little cabin close to the main house until her death. Mr. Jacob Warner's grandson was also Jacob Warner. They owned many famous saddle horses: Owingsville Wilks, Dilliard Dudley and Ben Franklin. There were many activities on the farm. They bred horses; they had a training track with a split rail fence. People came from miles to bring their horses for training and breeding. Besides being a great horseman, Mr Warner, also built the first Courthouse in Bath County. 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 brick house everyone always refers to) 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.

He had a large gourd, which he had filled with liquor, and started to return home. In making his way from Naylor's branch at Washington's branch, he halted at a spring, near the house one occupied by J. C. Maxey, in order to get a drink. As he stooped to drink from the spring, he heard his dog growl, and looking up he saw an Indian creeping toward him. Seizing his gourd, Mr. Warner concluded to take refuge in flight. For a time it seemed that he would distance the Indian, who cagerly pursued him, but when he reached the top of the ridge, looking toward Prickley Ash, the Indian was gaining on him at every step, but just as Mr. Warner reached the foot of the hill, on the waters of Prickley Ash, the Indian threw his hunting knife at the fleeing form of Mr. Warner, and gave up the chase in disgust. Mr. Warner came on to the furnace without further molestation.
