Kentucky never officially seceded from the Union, but in 1863 Bowling Green, Kentucky was the unofficial Capital of "Confederate Kentucky"

Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland were border states that remained in the union but still allowed slavery. The state legislatures of Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland voted to remain. Missouri voted to leave the union but union troops stormed the state capital and installed a pro union government to insure they remained with the union. Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation captured slaves were returned to their masters in Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland and in fact there are records of the Union Army conducting slave auctions in the border states.
Yes but when West Virginia was admitted to the Union, it was considered a "border state". West Virginia broke off from Virgina, and was admitted to the Union, as a slave state, in June 1863, and did not secede from the Union. West Virginia broke off from Virginia because there was heavy dispute amongst the counties, which became West Virginia and Virginia, regarding the issue of secession.
