Bracken County Probate Records
Bracken County was organized in 1796 from parts of Mason and Campbell
Counties. Originally, the county extended to southern Nicholas County
(north of the Ohio River and west of the Licking River). It has two
creeks (named for William Bracken), the Big and Little Bracken. William
Bracken was a surveyor by trade and visited the area in 1773. He was
later killed by Indians during the Northwest Indian War. The first
county seat was Augusta, Kentucky but was moved to Woodward Crossing
(Brooksville).
