Pioneer Families of Clay County, KY, 1769--1974 by Kelly Morgan
there were three printings of this book--which is no longer
available to buy--it is available in some libraries--or try to find a
used copy to buy.

The Clay County Genealogical Society also has some of their back
newsletters for sale. I will post more on this later. The Clay Co
Newsletter is one of the BEST around.

I'm sure that their is some book that I have missed but--
Hope that this helps.
