Where was the Kentucky Military District located?
In May 1779, the Virginia General Assembly approved a subcommittee’s resolution that the Military District be located as follows: “bounded by the Green River and a southeast course from the head thereof to the Cumberland mountains, with the said mountains to the Carolina line, with the Carolina line to the Cherokee or Tennessee River, with the said river to the Ohio River, and with the Ohio to the said Green River, until the farther order of the general assembly.” See the map of the Virginia Revolutionary War District included in the “Maps” page of the Reference Library.
