Hope someone can help me.

I have only been connected to this site for a couple of weeks. The family names I need information on are centered around Madison, Estill, Clark, and Garrard Counties. They include : Speakes, Arnold, Park, Daly, Pollard, Shotwell, Terrill, Saddler, Jenkins, Logan, Stevens, Stevenson, Brown, Tribble, Adams, Boone, Jacobs, Poynter, McMonigal, Peeler, Mills, Bowman, Berryman, Wills, McChristy, Sparks, Fritz, Brookshire, Harris, Bryant, Vowles, Newton, Tucker, Cummings, Scholl, Barrow, Muir, Humble, Morgan, Gilliam, Lee, Clark

I can share quite a lot of info on the names listed below as well.

I just found on the 1880 census for Kanawha Co. Wv a Nevora Porter age 8 born WV Mary age36 listed as single.
Could her name be spelled a different way perhaps..

Looking for descendants of the NAVE and NOONAN families in Louisville.

Patsy, Yes, this is the census I was talking about. This is her and her widowed
mother. If you look closer, you will see that there is a column with a tickmark
for "widowed"......a "D" would have been for divorced (I think). So, according to
that column, she would either be widowed or divorced. Funny, too, that they
are living right on Porter land. I checked the Land records but can find no
connection between Mary and George H. Porter who owned the land. He
would be the right age to be the father, though, or maybe an uncle.

hmmm makes you wonder what happen to the father.. were they married in WV. Do you know who Nevora married by any chance?

Some Ky researchers may find this site useful- http://www.familytreelegends.com/records/12252

Hello all.
I'm new to the group, but I have been researching for over 15 years. My "pocket" areas are 1) Taylor, Green, Marion, and Washington Counties - Surnames: SALLEE, SIMPSON, MALONE, TUNGATE 2.)Ohio, Daviess, and Grayson Counties - Surnames: EARLY, WEEDMAN, DUNN, HALE, DUGGINS 3.) Fayette, Mercer, and Franklin Counties - Surnames:WILSON, BROWNING, THRELKELD, BURNS, CONNERS, CARTER, SHEETS, TRACY 4.) Jefferson County - Surnames: BARTON, MESSINGER, MESSENGER, LORD, BENNETT, WITE, HUND, MERKEL

My 2nd gt. grandparents in KY were: John and Judy (Riley) Rutherford, ? Wm. Veatch (possible father of Frances Susan Veatch, the wife of Balis Rutherford), Uriah P. and Jane M. (Bledsoe) Robinson, Squire and Susan (Speaks) Searcy. My walls are for Willam Veatch (ca. 1794) and James Robinson (1761 - 1833).

Where was your Susan Speaks from and what dates, Glenwood ? Not a lot of us and all that have traced the Speak/e/s name back tie in with the same Thomas who came here in 1667 with his two sons, John and Bowling.

I show Susan Speaks b 1809, Henry County, KY and d 1880 in Madison County, KY. Md Squire Searcy 17 Nov 1825, Madison County, KY. She may have been the dau of Joseph H. Speaks and Sally Reed.

Have and also looking for info on Bailey, Brewer, Salley, Campbell, Mynhier, Hemingway, Dolphin, Dale, Gumm, Taylor, Jones, Eichorn, Hale, Dean, Southard, Carlisle, Riddle, Chandler, Welch, Collinsworth, Rarden, Coole, Coldrion, mostly in and around Wolfe/Menifee county, VA, OH, IN. Some pictures and grave site pics included.

I research Thornhill, Meadows/Meader/Meador, Lewis, Lemon, Jackson, Sallee, Sullivan, Taylor, Randolph/Randall, Hargis, McNair, Williams, Pinkley, Earp, and more in Kentucky before 1900.

I see the name Searcy came up! Hubby's GG Grandpa Edward (Edwin) Remington Adkins (Family moved from Owens, KY, before he was born in MO4 May 1852) married a Harriet Searcy and moved to UT, but then she disappears. Anyone know anything at all about a Harriet Searcy? I've always suspected her family followed the same migration pattern as the Adkins.

My principal interests are in the Moormans, DeHavens, and Steretts of Breckinridge and Hancock Counties; and in the Harpoles of Warren County.

Hi All!
I am researching Shafer, Shaffer, Schaffer, etc. in Jefferson, Bullit, and Union Counties. The family as far back as I have found were in PA., and were suppose to be German emigrants.

I desperately need a death record of my great-grandfather Charles Shaffer born 6 May 1863 in Jefferson Co, son of Joseph C? Shaffer 1835-1912 Jefferson Co and mother of Mary Elizabeth Stout 1839-1912 also Jeff. Co. Charles was married Mary L. "Mollie" Henry b. 24 Jul 1866 in Union Co. died 7 Dec 1958 in Sturgis, Union, KY. She is buried in Pythian Ridge Cemetery, Sturgis, Union, Kentucky.
Charles moved to Sturgis sometime before 1890, cause thats when my grandfather Raymond Henry Shaffer was born. I have no marriage info for Charles and Mollie, but since she lived her whole life in Sturgis, that might be the place.
Any help, would be SO APPRECIATED! Thanks!

S Horgan, do you know if your Gr grandfather died before or after your Gr grandmother. Do you think he might be buried in Pythian Ridge also. My husband lived in Union County for 20+ years and we still sometimes go up there. If you thought that he was buried there also I would try and get a picture of his marker. The libray in Christian County has death certificates up to 1957/58 but I would need to know more as to when he died. I cannot promise when we will get up there, but I will try if you like me too.

This is not my family..I have no other into Note the cemetery on Charles Shaffer's father..might be another place to look for him. Joseph C Shaffer

Union county is on the border of Illinois---maybe he died in a hospital there? I find there is an index of Illinois deaths online, but can't tell if any of the Charles Shaffers that died there was yours.

Hello all! I am researching EATON,BRYANT, YOKELY, BURGESS, SPENCE in Barren County, Monroe County, Lewis County and Mason County.

Search the tri county area- Henderson Union and Webster county for Shaffer's. Each county is only about 10 miles away from Henderson County.

Looking for HANEY in Fayette and Bourbon counties.
LOWRY is Estill and Fayette counties.
Jessamine County roots: WATTS, CANTER, BRUNER, SAGESER, PRESTON

Re: Charles Shaffer----hmmm. appears he died between 1900 and 1910 as Mollie is listed as a widow in 1910. So there is probably no death recorded. Obits would be your best best at this point.

Lawrence M. Rose of Kentucky while in the Army married my grandmother

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a death date from Bracken Co. sometime between 1851 or 1852 and 1860 for Andrew Nelson. I have him and his family in the 1850 census, that info tells me he was born in VA. abt. 1822, his wife Mahala was also born in VA. Their first child, Payton, was born abt 1842 in TN. Their next child born about 1845 was born in KY as were all their other children the last being born abt 1852. By the 1860 census the family is still in Bracken Co but Mahala is now the head of house it seems as Andrew is not with them and I can not find him. By 1870 Mahala and most of the family is in Clermont Co. OH.

Does anyone have a book of deaths or church records from Bracken Co for the time frame of 1851 to 1860 that could look for Andrew for me. I would really like to find out when he died and maybe even what happened to him.

Oh yeah my Nelson line is my gGrandmother Delva Nelson Deible. Her brother named a child Delva also and in the 1880 census I find a minor child named Delva Nelson living in TN with a grand mother, that doesn't have the name of Nelson. But I have a feeling Delva is a family name.
Thanks for any help at all!
