Settlements were not made in Carlisle Precinct as
early as in some other portions of the county. The
early settlers are all long since gone, and 'Squire Stephenson
and 'Squire Powell are about all there are left of the
second generation. The father of 'Squire Stephenson,
James Stephenson, came from Westmoreland County,
Pennsylvania, to Paris, Kentucky, in 1788, where he remained
a short time, and then came to what is now
Carlisle Precinct, and settled on the farm owned at
present by Henry Parker, four miles from Carlisle, between
the two branches of Somerset Creek. He had
served three years in the Revolutionary war, and soon
after its close he followed the tide of immigration to
the Western country. He broke the first land ever cultivated
on the waters of Somerset Creek. Here he
cleared five acres of ground, and while thus engaged, he
lived in camp. Ilis vife was'El'zabeth Caldwell, born
at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1761, and died in 1848 ; he
was born in 1749 and died in 1810. At the time of his
settlement here, his only neighbors were John Blair, on
Taylor's Creek, at the mouth of the Concord Spring
branch, and a Mr. Bushfield, who died on the farm now
owned by Benjamin Gore.
