    • Wikipedia: "Established in 1793, Hardin County was named for Colonel John Hardin, an Indian fighter who worked with tribes in the local area. In a few years, professional men and tradesmen came to live in the area. In 1793, Colonel Hynes had 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land (until then known as the Severn's Valley Settlement[2]) surveyed and laid off into lots and streets to establish Elizabethtown. Named in honor of his wife, Elizabethtown was legally established in 1797."

    Notes 
    • U.S. Census Elizabethtown, Hardin County, KY 1870: "Cinthia Harland [sic], age 40 b. Abt. 1830 Kentucky, keeping house; four children b. Kentucky: Louisa 20, James 19 farming, Martha 11, Kitty one."

      "Kitty Harlan, b. Abt. 1869" is likely "Hettie Davenport"

      U.S. Census Haycrafts, Hardin County, KY 1880: "A. Davenport, age 33 b. Abt. 1847 Kentucky, father b. England mother b. Kentucky, laborer, wife S. C. Davenport, age 30 b. Abt. 1850 Kentucky, father b. England [sic] mother b. Kentucky; one daughter b. Kentucky: Hettie Davenport, 11."

    • LDS FamilySearch, submission by Dorothy B. Wear, 20 Dec 2007:

      "According to all records I could locate on Hettie Davenport, she was born after the death of Reuben M. Harlan, and before the marriage of Cynthia to Abel Davenport. She is listed as Hettie Davenport, therefore she must have been adopted by Mr. Davenport. In the Civil War file for Abel Davenport, he stated he had no children and was not married prior to Cynthia Harlan and his marriage. This gives credence that Hettie is not the child of David Abel Davenport. Hettie married J. S. Harlan, son of William R. Harlan and Sarah Norman. . . . J. S. and Hettie had a son Joe Harlan, who married an Agnes (?). I met this couple when I was very little when they came to Los Angeles,California to visit Joe's half-cousin and my grandfather, Reuben Lee Harlan. My grandparents and my father, Lee Harlan told me they were cousins. It took me several years to connect the "cousin" relationship. The book, 'History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family,' written in 1914 by Alpheus H. Harlan, on page 612, number, 2729, lists the genealogy for Reuben M. Harlan and shows only the first wife and his children. However, Hettie Davenport is listed as the wife of J. E. Harlan. No further information was given by Alpheus Harlan on this family. By doing the censuses for the Reuben M. and Cynthia (Darnell) Harlan family, I have compiled the names of their children, and again, Hettie is not listed until the 1870 census for Louisville, KY."
