Corrieville

 Adam Corrie, concerned about the unrest in England after the French Revolution, sent his son, John, to America to purchase land. In 1838, Adam was required to pay tax of 1 1/2 cent an acre on 7094.72 acres in what would become the Lukin area of Lawrence County. One of Adam's nephews had arrived in Baltimore in 1819, and bought a pilot boat, filled it with some furniture, and floated down the Ohio River to the mouth of the Wabash River. They reached Mt. Carmel and wintered there. In the spring they moved north onto their land. They bought farming things and paid $50 to have a log house built and $9 to build the chimney and fireplace. In 1823 the father died. This area became known as Corrieville.
