"Remembering Lee County" by Bernice Caudill " The first settler of Bear Creek was Henry Evans, who like many people came to KY from VA by the way of Cumberland Gap in a covered wagon. Mr. Evans built a house near a waterfall about the middle of the distance from the head to the mouth of the creek. He died in 1865 and was buried in a plot of his own land which also became the first cemetery on the creek."
