I found this bit about a George Strother in Trimble County, KY. I have not been able to determine for sure if this is about Person:George Strother (5) or not. But just in case it is, I didn't want to lose the info and will post it here. If someone can verify if it is the right George, move it to the person page and delete it from this page.
This is copied from a 1920 historical talk by John C. Strother and posted here:

"The formation of Trimble County was promoted by George Strother, who settled in the county in 1802, having come from Virginia in 1796, and spent about six years in Bourbon County, Ky. Associated with him were the leading citizens of the county, who memorialized the legislature and went to Frankfort and secured the passage of an Act creating the County. George Strother was the first County Judge of Trimble county, and presided in the Fiscal Court when the site for the public square was conveyed to the county and the contract made for building the first court house. Leonard Sibley was a member of the Fiscal Court at that time, and it may not be uninteresting to note that James Strother, the grandson of George Strother, is now County Judge of Trimble County, and a grandson of Leonard Sibley is at present a member of the Fiscal Court."
