Individual:
Mary McGrew, the mother of Robert Perry , operated a ferry after her husband's death, across the Ohio River at the Licking River near the Little Miami River, as perhaps the first female ferryboat operator in Kentucky. When the county proposed in November 1795 to build a new road in that area, they specified that it must follow "the nearest and best way from Newport to the Widow Perrys on the Ohio." The road was to run from George Town Trace to the salt works on Bank Lick, across Licking River to the Grassy Creek Road, then to Mary Perry's ferry on the Ohio River. On April 4, 1796, the county licensed Mary to keep a ferry on her late husband's lands. The county proposed another road on January 8, 1798, this time through unimproved land owned by Mary, and the county ordered the sheriff to "ascertain the injury that said Mary Perry and the Heirs of her deceased Husband will sustain from the opening of said Road through their Lands." The county courts ordered Mary's hired hands to help maintain these roads. On December 23, 1801, Mary married Rees Gaddis, but her daughter Ann kept the right to stay at the Ferry Place as long as Mary lived. Mary dwelt on the Ohio River until her death on December 16, 1836.
