In 1788, William Smuthers, Gilbert LeClerc and his wife, pioneers, were on their way to settle the land they had bought, which later became the site of Munfordville. The men were killed by Indians about 4 mi. SE of here. The deed taken as part of the booty. Land resold before title was found not to be clear. Original deed found and in town was resumed.
