During this time other neighborhoods also formed. The "Leavell neighborhood" included the southeast portion of Liberty and the eastern portion of Dudley. The "Heaton neighborhood" included old West Liberty, on either side of the Blue River for two to three miles beyond the site of Knightstown. These neighborhoods made up almost all of Henry County.
