Sandi Gorin's TIP # 387
Although not the most pleasant subject, many in Kentucky, as in other
states, were on the wrong side of the law. I have been asked so many
times if there was a list of those who had been executed in the state.
This list is NOT complete. If the surname appears in parenthesis, it
is the slave owner's last name. Additions to Sandi's list appear at the
end of this page.

Maysville, Mason Co.
August 28, 1878 newpaper reads:
18 years ago, last Tuesday, Charles Collins was hanged at this place (Maysville
- Mason Co.) for the brutal murder of the Cobb family. The execution took place
about noon on the road leading from East Maysville to
the Flemingsburg pike.
Those he had killed and robbed included: Francis Cobb, Sr. age 70 and his
two sons George age 15 and Abijah age 17 on July 24, 1861. Also, injured were
other members of the Cobb family
Other records state that Collins was hung on a sycamore tree on Limestone
Creek directly in front of the J.G.Fee School; which is now the location of
the Mason Co. detention center.
