The words you have DO jibe with the Stephens' account (indicated here) that came to me hand-me-down: Stephens' got stead of the land 'tween Gunpowder&Middle Cks. at turn 19th-cent.-- and a John S. started a vendorship/livery at Middle Ck. (Rajjie Hash now). The Stephens bunch o' ours housed down the River some-- @ now power plant-- anywho they (according to genealogy cous Nancy Ryle) were DEEP into the Underground Railroad (she said)- with a 'Steal Away t Jesus Farm' t get to 'House of Rising Sun' I guess. And the Stephens'-- all of 'em down to me-- are Populists if 'owned-good.' "Red" Jim S. was about the biggest Populist, though, according t Nancy R. - Vernon Lynn Stephens Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:28:30 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/how_rabbit_hash_got_its_name.html#comment-165 "[url=http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9E0DE1D71338E233A25753C1A9619C94679ED7CF]Queer Names of American Towns, How Fancy or Accident Has Affected Local Nomenclature[/url]" article that mentions Rabbit Hash, Kentucky from the "Boston Transcript\" published by "The New York Times" dated July 10, 1896 - Pat Raverty Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:05:30 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/how_rabbit_hash_got_its_name.html#comment-67 :grin Great Idea, Karen - Karen Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:06:01 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/how_rabbit_hash_got_its_name.html#comment-44 :p Let\'s come up with a new reason to name the hamlet Rabbit Hash. After frequent requests, I never did get a recipe from the locals for rabbit hash. Therefore, let\'s have a cooking contest every year to find the public\'s (visitors\') favorite recipe for rabbit hash. Some cooks would bring their dish already cooked; others would cook on site over a camp fire. The visitors would buy a small plateful from the cooks of their choice and vote for their favorite cook\'s recipe. Rabbits can be hunted or bought. For example, rabbit (dressed for the skillet) is for sale at Jungle Jim Supermarket inFairfield, Ohio. - Bela K.

I am sure we will never know the whole truth... But it is fun thinking about it!!! - Terrie Markesbery Wed, 22 Aug 2007 16:40:47 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/how_rabbit_hash_got_its_name.html#comment-53 I don\'t know, but I remember that saying from my Mother & Sister.

Nice meeting you & thank you, Karen - Karen Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:55:30 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/how_rabbit_hash_got_its_name.html#comment-63 I was told that some people were in Ky stopped at this place to eat. Saw some rabbits & got them. So they made hash from it & as they were sitting there eating trying to figure out a name for this place as this was where they were going to stay & live. Someone suggested calling this place \"Rabbit Hash\" so they named it Rabbit Hash, Ky Karen Borst - Karen Borst Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:15:34 +0100
