I am seeking my ancestor, George Miller who is believed to have lived
near Lancaster prior to 1780. I do not know what resources may exist to
help with a search, such as tax lists or land records. The area eventually
became Lincoln and later, Garrard. His wife was Elizabeth----. The
family, including 11 sons eventually moved to what became Adair County. He
was paying taxes there as of 1802. I know that he was involved with a land
survey "south of Green River" reserved as a military district in 1786. I
am trying to prove his service with Capt. Joseph Bowman in the
Revolutionary War, who was then living near Harrodsburg.

married an unknown Crawford. She is the daughter of Milton William Judd
and Sarah C. Floyd Judd of Columbia, Adair Co., KY. Gertrude is listed in
the Bullitt Co., KY 1910 census as being a widowed and having 1 son Harry
Crawford being 11 months old. She is listed as a servant in the household
of William Hobbs.
In the 1920 Spencer Co., Camp Branch, KY census she is listed as a housekeeper along with her son, Harry Crawford who is now 10 yrs old in the household of Ernest C. Wood, MD and his wife Bertha Wood. I can't find Gertrude after the 1920 census but do find her son, Harry in the household again with Ernest C. Wood, MD and his family in the 1930 Bloomfield, Nelson Co., KY Census. He is listed as a roomer in their household. I am looking for information on what happen to his mother, Gertrude Judd Crawford who is my great aunt. Is she buried in the cemetery that her son, Harry and his wife (Elzabeth Wheeler Crawford) are buried in also in Bloomfield, Nelson Co., KY. It is the Maple Grove Cemetery and Harry worked after he retired at the Houghlin Funeral Home until his death which was in 1987. His widow, Elizabeth lived to be 7 months short of turning 100 yrs old she died April 28, 2002. According to Gertrude Judd Crawford's fathers (Milton William Judd) pension file from the civil war she was born October 8, 1881 and had 10 siblings. I know the siblings are correct but not positive about her birth date as some of the census shows it could be a few years either way. Her siblings were: (1)Martha "Mattie" married Robert Holt, (2)Mary "Mollie" married Charlie Hawkins (this is my great grandparents), (3)Milton "Frank" married Minnie Vaughn, (4)Dollie (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HER), (5)William "Will" (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HIM), (6)Ellis (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HER), (7)Laura Darnell "Nell" (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HER), (8)Fannie had a son Paul Judd was the major of Frankfort, KY, (9)Charles married Alice Ann Unknown (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HIM) and (10)Fred married 2 times had one son by his first wife (NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HIM). Any help or leads with any of these people would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Roberta rjdooley23@aol.com Posted 2/27/2005
Looking for information on WILLIAM CALDWELL,
born 1759 in York Co., PA, came to Columbia and purchased property off the
SW corner of Columbia Parkway 9-11-1812, having come from Abingdon,
Washington Co., VA, and Russell County, VA where we believe he intended to
return . Is there anyway we can get some help on solving this
problem about which WILLIAM is who? I have identified about 7 others who
were also in Columbia at different times, that adds to the confusion.
We believe
our WILLIAM is mixed up with the other WILLIAM CALDWELL who served as the
first Clerk of the Court for the County, m. to REBECCA EDMONDS, who went
back to Obioin Co., TN, Union City after WILLIAM died. Some say that
WILLIAM was born 5-7-1793, and others say also in 1759 in Goochland Co.,
VA and collected a Rev. War Pensioin. That one died 7-5-1825. So it is
understandable some have these two mixed up. Some say the parents for
WILLIAM CALDWELL, the Clerk, were THOMAS CALDWELL and SARAH BUCHANAH. Thank
you for any assistance you may be able to give. JEAN CALDWELL ADAMS

I'm looking for information on Stephen Cotton
who was married to a Judea Pitman they had children named Starling, Talbert,
Malvina & Eliza. Stephen and Judea divorced and Stephen married Elizabeth
Wilson they had children named Sherman, Abraham, Stephen, Polly and
Sallie and probably a couple more. The family moved around but I did find
Stephen and Elizabeth and some of the children in Ohio Co but what I have
found was on the census records. I have no idea when Stephen and Elizabeth
married or any information like that. I do know that for some reason their
son Sherman lived with a Bratcher family household but for what reason I don't
know. I know Stephen died between 1893 and 1900 but where he is buried remains
a mystery. I would love to find a little more about the family while my dad
is around to hear it! Any information concerning this family would be a
great help. Thank You

can prove. I have a relative who say's that Preston Head is the son of a
Benjamin or could also be known as Henry Head, and Lucinda Northcutt. I have
never seen any proof of such. I have seen marriage of Benjamin and Lucinda
but nothing that says Preston was their son. Any help will be appreciated in
