Notes

  1. ↑ Coordinates in infobox above are as given by NRIS, but are inaccurate, as they do not point to a building anywhere near the north bank of the Licking River. However the exact location may be surmised. Kentucky Route 982 coincides with New Lair Road on the south side of Cynthiana, and "New Lair Pike" is given as address of then-owner. Review of Google satellite imagery by the editor suggests it might be the house at 38°22′14″N84°17′29″W / 38.37045°N 84.29139°W .
