Cadentown - a settlement in Fayette County east of Lexington established solely for the purpose
of providing housing for the freed slaves after the Civil War. The farm which Samuel McKee
owned, later residence of Capt. John Starks, Revolutionary War officer, was purhcased in 1867
by Owne Caden, a farmer born in Ireland in 1830. He came to the US in 1840 and his children
settled in the area, subdividing the land of about 70 acres at the intersection of Liberty and Todds
road. A 1971 Housing Report states that the one-room schoolhouse was still standing.
