Posted 04/20/2013 Surname: Bruce/Holbert

My brick wall relates to the family legend of the Indian ancestor.  Any picture of my father leaves no doubt he is a descendant of a Native American.  The questions arise with respect to documentation of the tribe and pinpointing the individual.  I have definitely traced the Bruce family to Gallatin, Kentucky through census and marriage records.  My father was Louis Ernest Bruce; his father was Luther Bruce; Luther's father was Thomas Jefferson Bruce and his mother was Harriet Ann Holbert - both of Gallatin in the mid 1800s. If any of the family stories are even close to truth, Harriet is the original Indian.  Some family stories say she was from the Miami Tribe, some say it could be another, possibly Shawnee.  Harriet's father was John, and as best I can determine her mother was Mary Ann Alcorn, again from Kentucky. I'm not looking for such documentation that could lead to some sort of entitlement... just some answers or confirmation even if it's from someone else's family legend. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, McClure, wegypsies42@gmail.com

Seems like everyone's brick wall in Gallatin County is locating burial records and/or location of early cemeteries/ family plots.  I've not located burials for any of my Goins, Jackson, or Ray ancestors.  All lived in Gallatin County, some on Craig's Creek since early 1800's. Charles Goins, a Rev War veteran, died in August 1857, age 104.  His wife Elizabeth died before 1870, possibly in her 100's also. Moses Jackson, a Rev War veteran, died in May 1821, around age 61.  His wife Chritina died about 1851, around age 90. William Ray, died around 1830, age unknown. Believe he had a brother John, who died in 1834, Sangamon County, IL.  William Ray was a bondsman for his daughter Susanna's marriage to George Jackson (son of Moses) in November 1814, in Warsaw. Does anyone have any info beyond what is currently published? Bogardus's work and the headstone transcription project. Would like to locate family bibles, land records, diaries, etc, might help determine where our oldest Gallatin County ancestors were buried...Greg A. Bennatt, gbennatt@yahoo.com

Posted 01/23/2008  Surname: Levell

I am looking for information about my great, great, great grandfather, whose name was James Levell. We know from U.S. Census records that he lived in Gallatin County from at least 1830 to 1860. We also know from these records that he was born in Kentucky in 1807. He was married to a woman
whose maiden name was Agnes Cox. We know nothing regarding James' or Agnes' parents. They had at least six children, among them my great, great grandfather Andrew Anderson Levell. Our family's oral history says that James Levell was shot and killed about 1860 in a family argument by
a man named Charles Tandy, brother of Andrew Levell's wife. It is probable that James Levell's death occurred in Gallatin County in 1860. Would like to know if there could possibly be records or newspaper accounts that would provide additional information about his parents.  His oldest son, John J. Levell, died in Gallatin County on April 4, 1870, so we know the family ties to Gallatin County continued beyond his death. Can you offer any suggestions as to how I might try to research his death, i.e. newspaper accounts, police records, etc., or where I might look for burial records? Any help would be appreciated.Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Doug LaVelle, douglavelle@aol.com

Perhaps someone can give me some advice.  My gg Grandfather was John Glenn and I am trying to find his birthplace and parents name.  I know some things for sure.  He was born 26 Oct 1797.  He says in census, Ohio. His children say Kentucky. He fought in the War of 1812 as a substitute for a Mr Joseph McCann.  He enlisted in Louisville and served as Pvt in Capt Holt's Co KY Militia  10 Nov 1814 -10 May 1815.  He was discharged in Gallatin County, on 10 May 1815.
