Comment by Lynne Jenkins Breland on July 29, 2009 at 9:14pm: I'm looking for information on Tennysons from Greene County, KY. So far I haven't been able to locate them in census records. My ggg grandfather was John Tennyson and he was a medical doctor. He moved from KY to Alabama, then to Mississippi, where he died in 1898.

Comment by Lynda McCann Ovington on July 29, 2009 at 5:55pm: For anyone looking for a particular head/grave/tomb stone, give a look. There are people who are members who volunteer to photograph cemetery sites. Moreover, it's a FREE site.

Comment by Gladys White Davis on July 26, 2009 at 7:34pm: I am doing research on the Davis Family from Breathitt County, Kentucky. My husband is a direct descendent of Jeremiah & Mariam Little Davis. Would love to have some pictures. I have one of Jefferson & Casandra Davis and would really love to find one of their brothers and sisters, expecially John Evans (or Evin) Davis. Is there anyone connected to this family?

Comment by patsy adkins on July 26, 2009 at 6:42pm: hi there
Most of my mom's family comes out of Eastern Kentucky. Ive hit brick walls when it has come to them. At one point the main families stayed in Carter Co. Ky before branching off to Lewis, Greenup and Boyd Counties.
The families were
John Lunsford who married Millie Ann Sexton.
John also married a Nancy Stephens.She was his first wife. They only had one child who name was James Lunsford.
There daughter Margaret Mary Lunsford married Aaron Loar right after the 1880 census. They ended up in Whitley Co. Ky. Aaron father was Moses Loar. Moses was married to a Sarah Parker from Lawrence or Boyd Co. Ky. She was supposely accidentally shot to death. Moses left there son and disappear for few years. We know that Sarah Mom' Elizabeth Parker was Loar and figure that Moses was somehow related to her but cant figure it out.
Emma Lunsford daughter to John/Millie married George Herron. Both of them from Carter Co. Ky ended up in Kanawha Co. WV.
Mary Lunsford d/o John/Millie married John Osborne. Both of them from Carter Co. Ky.
Anybody working on these families.

Comment by Carol Dobkins Keith on July 26, 2009 at 6:13pm: My Kentucky ties are Dobkins-in Pulaski and Wayne Counties-allied with Barnett, Turpin, Holler, Bolding, Adams and others. Also my husband's family-Keith/Keath of Owen County, KY-allied with Stewart, McPherson, Kemper, Burk, Branstetter and Hughes. Anyone out there tied to any of these families?
