I don't believe there was a Stearns, KY prior to 1901:
1901 John Toomey, associate of L. E. Bryant, visits Jutus S. Stearns in Michigan and convinces him to consider investment in Big South Fork area (Thomas 1989; OH:18)
1902-3 Big Survey and other land surveys and purchases by Kinne, for Justice Stearns, leasing of other Bryant lands
1902 Stearns Coal Company, Stearns Lumber Co., and K&T Railroad incorporated, begin work on lumbar yard and town of Stearns (Thomas 1989, Kinne 1929).
