Fort William (Kentucky)

[1] Fort William was another name for A'Sturgus Station built in 1779 on the Middle fork of Beargrass Creek.

After Christian's death in 1786, his wife, Anne, began to refer to the site as Fort William.

The land acquired by the Christians was payment for his service during the Seven Years' War.

[3] After William Christian's death, Anne moved to Mercer County.

In 1790, she died either on the return trip from Antigua or the day after arriving in Norfolk, Virginia.
