Bullitt County History

William Pope Jr. & Richard Bibb Jr. - A Salt Contract

In 1804, Pope and Bibb made a rather complicated contact that involved the production of salt at and near Bullitt's Lick and Shepherdsville. While complicated to read, it tells us quite a bit about the salt works. The images of the pages that contain this contract are shown below. The transcription of these pages is shown on another page.
