GADBERRY, KENTUCKY

There are many towns and cities around the world and the United States named after individuals.  In fact, if you have read, "A Brief History of the Gadberry Name and the Family that bears it", you probably know that our name may be derived from an area and possible village in Great Britain.  But I was surprised to find that there is a street in Union, South Carolina named Gadberry and  there once was a town in Kentucky named Gadberry.  As a matter of fact it still appears in many late century atlases.  The town now sits long abandoned only a few of its buildings remain.

To find Gadberry Kentucky look to the left of Columbia, on the map below.  If you have a hard time seeing it, just click on the map for a full size copy.
 

The few buildings that remain have been posted and identified by the state of Kentucky.  Thelma Juanita, daughter of Archie Gadberry and grand-daughter of John Daniels made a trip to Gadberry Kentucky in 1995 and took the following pictures.
