From that web site, I learned that NELSON County was created 29 Nov 1784 from part of Jefferson County and named for Thomas NELSON, signer of the Dec of Independence. Bardstown is the county seat. Additionally, it was an important Roman Catholic settlement area. Numerous links are available from this site.
