• 06/22/15 Surnames: Henry, Anderson
Seeking Henry Family Burial site in Bourbon County near Nicholas County, KY line. Hugh Henry and
I am researching part of my family tree. I am trying to locate a
Bourbon County cemetery called the Henry Family Cemetery, the burial
place of Hugh Henry (1765-1835) and Rachel Anderson Henry (1765-1839).
As far as I can tell, they are the only people that are supposed to
buried there. I have tried to locate this cemetery many, many times
with no success. I know that Hugh and Rachel Henry had a log cabin
located on Boone Creek, Bourbon Co., near the Nicholas Co. line, but I
have no clear understanding of where that is. I did find a record of a
family reunion of the Henry Family that was given newspaper coverage
(many years ago) by the Carlisle Mercury Newspaper, if that helps to
pinpoint the area.
Any assistance that you could provide would be most appreciated.
Transcription of the Newspaper article above: OLD HOME - a picture of the Hugh Henry-Rachel Anderson Henry home, in which they were living in 1785(?), seven years before Kentucky became a sate, to homestead on Boone Creek in Bourbon County, just across the Nicholas County line. It is one of the oldest log houses still standing in this part of the country. Recent owners, the Wasson Brothers, had weatherboarding applied to preserve the logs but most of the interior is as it was in the 18th century. Hugh and Rachel Henry had seven sons and nine daughters. Three of the sons fought in the War of 1812. Their youngest son, David, the great grandfather of Jesse T. Potts and Ernest Sharp and many others, was born in this house in 1790. Many descendants of Hugh and Rachel Henry through their son John's four sons, Valney, William, James and George live at Carlisle, Paris and Lexington, while others are scattered from coast to coast. John's two daughters, Nancy and Louisa, were the ancestors of Tucker families. The Henry Familys eleventh reunion was featured in a recent issue of the Carlisle Mercuty.

Obituary
Emily Wilson was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, December 14, 1814, and departed this life in Hagerstown, Indiana, October 26, 1884, near 70 years of age. She removed with her parents to Indiana in 1826, and settled on the farm where Jacob Mason's family now lives. Her first marriage was to Tobias Bickle, who died, leaving his wife and eight children. In after years she was united to John Castor, her now bereft husband; united with the Christian Church at Flat Rock, Henry County, in her youthful days. A number of years ago, she moved to this place and placed her membership in the Christian Church, and remained in fellowship with the church until her death, when she was removed to the Church triumphant to die no more. Her funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Wm. C. Bowen at the church to a large congregation. Text of the sermon was from First Thess., 4th chapter and 13th verse to end of chapter. She leaves behind an aged husband and her surviving children, all of whom are married, and many friends to mourn her loss. She was a good neighbor and kind companion and mother.

I am interested in finding any information about the Humphrey Hill School. Three children of Captain John Whitledge (deceased October 1788) were sent to the Humphrey Hill School and one of them, Susannah, later married John Humphrey. I don’t’ think the school was public. I do believe that it was started under the auspices of a church. After John’s death, the children were placed in the care of Francis Callis, who later married the childrens’ mother, Alcey.

• Surnames: Scott, Horn/Harn/Harnes, Borders
I'm looking for any information you may have on Jonathan Scott. He was born in Virginia. His father, Simon Scott was kidnapped from Scotland, worked as a cabin boy on a ship, then sold as an indentured servant when the ship cam to the Carolinas. Simon married a Mary "Polly" Watkins Horn (or maybe Harn, Harnes). We believe that Jonathan had at least two brothers: William and Daniel.
Jonathan Scott was born in 1778. He married Catherine (or Katherine) Borders who was born in Rowan County, North Carolina. Jonathan lived in Bourbon County, Kentucky from about 1800 through 1840. In about 1816 he was ordained a deacon in the church of God by a Peter Hon. He moved to Monroe County, Indiana in 1840 and purchased a tract of land. He died 8 miles west of Bloomington, Monroe Co., Indiana on 29 Nov 1845.
I'm hoping you can give me additional information on Jonathan and/or other family members. Also, I'm interested in information on the Church of God and anyone I could contact regarding their membership records.
We do have a copy of Jonathan's obituary and his will.
Jonathan is my g-g-g-g grandfather.

• 09/13/09 Surnames: Campbell
My great3 grandfather and grandmother were Charles Campbell and Rachel Campbell. I am trying to find out the maiden name of Rachel, and Charles's family, but so far to no avail. Charles was born in 1796 and Rachel was born in 1800.
Charles and Rachel married on October 31, 1818 in Fayette County, Kentucky. By the 1820 census, they were living in Bourbon County. They had 5 children: William, born 1826; Greenbury Williamson, born 1830; Louisa E., born 1838; Caroline, born 1840; and, my great great grandfather, Charles H., born 1842. They continued to live in Bourbon Co., KY, until the sometime after 1850. The 1860 census shows Rachel as a widow, living with her son Charles H, 18, a farmer in Dewitt Co., IL. Rachel is then living with her daughter Caroline Storts's family in Clinton, Dewitt Co., IL in 1870, and in Platt Co, IL in 1880. According to familysearch.org, Rachel died sometime after 1880. However, I haven't been able to get her exact death date, or her husband Charles's exact death date.
Any help that you could give me or let me know where the best place to go from here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
• 08/24/09 Surnames: Johnson, HIbler
My husband's great-grandfather was from Bourbon county, KY . His name was Abel Johnson and he married Mary "Polly" Hibler 1 Jan 1818 in Bourbon County, Ky. The family had several children, some of whom were most likely born in Bourbon co. The relocated to Paris, Monroe county, MO prior to 1841 where John Thomas Johnson was born. Other siblings we have located on census reports were William H., Lucinda and Joseph W.
It is amazing that out of possibly 11 children born to this couple we have been unable to locate any of today's generation.

• 08/13/09 Surnames: Moore, Chandler, Ewalt, Morin
I have reached a brick wall confirming the parents of my grandfather Quince Ward Moore (1892-1947). His father is listed as James Moore and mother as Fannie Chandler? on his death certificate. At this period of time (late 1800's) in Bourbon County there are many with the name James Moore although family oral history says he died at the Bourbon County Old Folks Home & Poor Farm and was buried at the Ruddles' Mills Methodist Church cemetery. This cemetery is overgrown and my search for a gravestone unsuccessful. Since Quince's youngest siblings were twins named Sophie and Lizzie and born in 1896 he was still alive. I have been unsuccessful in finding an obituary or death certificate.
Using a Bible record of John M. Stuart found at Duncan Tavern in their genealogy library, I believe my great, grandfather is James C. Moore the oldest son of Noah Spears Moore Sallie Ewalt Moore. My great uncle's name was Noah Andrew Moore and since he was the oldest son he may have been named for his grandfather, but I have no confirmation. If this is the case, I would then need the names of Noah S. Moore's parents who I believe were Andrew Moore and Sarah Morin Moore.

• 06/17/09 Surnames: Bayles, Cogar, HIldreth
I need some help........
I have been looking for my husband's grandfather's parents since 1956,
53 years.
He was born May 4, 1851, Bourbon co., Kentucky and his name was John William Bayles.
I cannot figure out who his parents are, although I kind of narrowed it down to one of the sons or grandsons of Nathan and Adeline Bayles.
John William Bayles' last child was a Adeline Bayles.
John William stated his parents died ( I believe between 1851-1860) when he was young and
he was sent to live with a aunt. He is found on the 1860 Bourbon co., Kentucky census living with Marianne (Kitty) Hildreth Fretwell Cogar.
Kitty had a sister that married a Bayles:
Mary-Eveline Hildreth married John Bayles in 1844. He died before 1857.
But yet, on the 1860 census John William Bayles is not living with her, but with his aunt Kitty.
There is a possibility that John William Bayles was fathered by one of the Bayles sons, but born out of wedlock.....either Nathan who died in 1851 or John who died before 1857.
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

I hope to be able to solve my Dykes and Browning's family dilemma's with the help of your viewers. My Great-grandfather William T. Dykes b. ca March 1833, marr. Sarah J. Hendricks KY. It's a possibility the John and Patsey ( ? ) Dykes of Bourbon Co. are William T.'s parents but this has not be proven.
Millersburg, Bourbon Co. KY would possibly be William T. birthplace. When William T. marr. Sarah J. they raised all nine of their children in Millersburg, therefore spending almost all of their lives in Millersburg, KY.
One of their dau.'s Georgia A. Dykes b. Feb 1875, married ca 1889; to Charles C. Browning, b. 01 Oct 1868. They are found in Millersburg, Bourbon Co.

My brick wall is the parents of Jacob Baker of Nicholas Co who died in 1814, wife Barbara (possibly nee Sagasser). Believe he is a son or brother of Isaac Baker who settled in Bourbon Co and shows up with him (Jacob) on the 1797 and 1797 Bourbon Co Tax list. An Isaac Baker signed a $600 surety document at the estate settlement of Jacob Baker in 1814. Does anyone know any more of this Isaac Baker of Bourbon Co. There were two Isaac Bakers in Bourbon about the same time. One went to Sangemon Co ILL and had a son Jacob born 1790 who also lived in Nicholas Co. This Jacob is too young to be my ancestor though.

remarried and had five more. Once in Miss, I have creditable data. But for James in KY and his father, Alexander, born 1774 in SC all I have are suppositions. I don't know James' mother, any siblings, marriage or death of parents. I know even less about Alexander. A will notes an Alexander as the son of Moses Hall which is what I have found on various web sites. Any clarity anyone can provide would be welcome.

He married Winifred Wakeland in Bourbon County in 1808. He and Winifred are listed on his brother John A Payne's 1826 Bourbon Will. Jesse had sons named John C Payne and Francis Payne. Any information at all will be appreciated. Thanks
