Allen Sams & Minnie E. Wright
My grandmother Eva Mae Sams Templeton was born in Bardwell, Carlisle Co., Ky, in 1891. Her parents were Allen Sams and Minnie E. Wright Sams. Eva Mae had 6 siblings:
Oda, Joseph, Cordelia "Delia", Idella "Della", Vivian, and Blanche. Minnie passed away a few months after Blanche was born, about December 1899. Allen passed away sometime in 1900, leaving the children orphaned. I have seen the 1900 census for Bardwell, listing Allen (widowed) with all 7 children. Another 1900 census for Bardwell shows all the children living with a family by the name of Novell.
Later, the younger children were taken in by families living in the area. My grandmother Eva was taken in by John Mason and his wife. Her brother Joseph was hired as a farm hand with the Mason family. Cordelia "Delia" was taken in by the Munsell family and later married Luther "Lute" Munsell. Idella "Della" was married twice. Her second husband was a Milner. I believe Blanche was taken in by Denton relatives.
This is where my brick wall is. The only documentation I have on Allen Sams is the 1900 census. From that, it appears he was born in 1860. I have no information or documentation on Minnie E. Wright. I have been told that they were buried on the family farm located somewhere between Bardwell and Cunningham, perhaps one of those "Lost" gravesites.
William Robertson & Sary Bedford Robertson
My GGrandfather William Robertson died in Ballard County, Kentucky in 1850. He was married 2xs in Hickman county, Kentucky. I can't find his grave or where he lived. I believe he is buried somewhere in Carlisle County,Ky, before it was changed from Ballard County, Ky. Maybe I'm wrong but I have tried everything else. Any help Greatly appreciated.
William Robertson was married 1st./ time to Sary Bedford & had 2 girls. She died & he married the 2nd./ time to Martha Williams & had 3 boys & he died then. I found the 2 younger boys in Illinois with there mother but never found the 2 girls with there step mother in Illinois though so i don't know where they went. The mother ( Martha Robertson ) moved to Illinois & remarried there & had 3 more boys. Thanks for any help as its appreciated very much. He is ( William ) my brick wall...
Also a brick wall for Sary Bedford Robertson that died in Ballard County,Ky, before it was changed to Carlisle County,Ky..
