Past Registrar General Tony L. Vets, Sr was guest speaker for the September meeting. Vets gave a presentation on the founding of Fort Boonesborough, KY, by Daniel Boone and Richard Henderson in April 1775. Two of Vets' Patriot Ancestors, Thomas Phelps and his daughter Lucy, were defenders of the fort during an eleven-day siege from the Shawnee and British Canadian troops in September 1778. Vets ended the presentation by telling how Thomas later moved his family to present day Louisville, where Lucy met and married another of Vets' Patriot Ancestors, Marsham Brashear.
Brashear was appointed a trustee in the founding of Louisville and served as secretary. This Patriotic Service led to him being recognized as a Patriot of the American Revolution. He is also credited as being one of the first, if not the first, distiller of bourbon whisky.
President Gervais Compton presented Vets with a Certificate of Appreciation for his talk.
