This was the home of John Barnett and Elizabeth Johnston, when they went to Rockcastle Co., KY. about 1856. Inside the house one can find the ABC carved in a log so Elizabeth could teach her children. The house is setting at Brush Arbor, Rockcastle Co., KY being turned into a museum.

Amazing that it is still standing!
My 4th great grandparents, George Washington Johnston and Sarah “Sally” Davis Barnett also left Scott Co and moved to Rockcastle Co, KY. Do you know if they are related? Or if this house is near Brodhead in Rockcastle Co? Any info, Thanks!
