Comment by Barbara Whiteside on July 23, 2009 at 1:29pm: I am very interested in the Shaker religious society at Pleasant Hill, near Harrodsburg, KY and will do lookups in my GONE TO THE WORLD book, by Marc Rhorer for anyone wanting to see if an ancestor was a member of the Shakers. My own lines were the first to join the society in 1805, Banta and Montfort, in particular. I have a group dedicated to both THE SHAKER RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF KENTUCKY and another to the DUTCH COUSINS IN KENTUCKY. Have had over 50 years of researching and glad to help others if they are part of the Low Dutch Colony that came to KY starting in 1780 or suspect a family member might have been a Shaker.

Comment by Pam McCreary on July 22, 2009 at 5:43pm: I'm looking for any information on Henry and Mahala Miller. They lived in Lebanon, KY in 1880. They had 4 daughters, Mollie (8), Jane (7), Ida (6) and Annie (2). On the 1880 census Henry was 29 and Mahala was 35. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
