A person became a naturalized citizen of the
United States after having first filed his intention to do so and disavowing
all allegiance to a foreign power. In Kentucky, the intention was filed in
county or circuit court and recorded in the court order books (court
minutes). The information in the intentions may vary, but usually
includes the name of the person, when he filed his petition for naturalization,
and to whom he formerly vowed allegiance. He also promised to support the Constitution
of the United States. After a period of time (it varied according to the
current laws), the applicant returned to court to finalize the process and
become a citizen. The applicant could begin the process in one state and have
it finalized in a different state. The following information has been
abstracted from the court order books listed at the end of the specified
entries.
