All of us have a "brick wall" somewhere in our research! It's that elusive ancestor that just doesn't seem to exist! I will be posting emailed queries sent to me by people who are searching for their "brick wall" ancestors. Please take time to look them over and if you have info that could help these folks, please let them know!

Please Note: When you compose your Brick Wall query, please make sure you include the family connection to Henry Co. Queries sent without listing a Henry Co., KY connection will not be posted. I apologize for this but I am receiving many queries with no obvious connection to the county. If you are not sure where in KY your ancestor was from, you can post a query here; http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyunknow/ ... Thanks sss

Posted 04/13/2015 Surnames: McEndre

I'm searching for information about the parents of my 3rd Great Grandfather born around 1808.  His name is Robert McEndre.  I've searched using Ancestry.com and seen the family name spelled in a variety of ways through the generations: McEndree/McAndre/McCandree.  Any of these might be used for Robert's name. Robert married Catherine Dunn in Henry Co. in 1831, and fathered George M McEndre (b. 1833), John Ruben McEndre (b. 1835), James D McEndre (b. 1841), and several more children subsequently.  John Ruben, my 2nd Great Grandfather, fathered a son named Robert Layton McEndre (b. 1862). I have found records of a Bunyan McAndre (b. 1765) in the area that I am hopeful may be connected.  Bunyan fathered Reuben McAndre (b. 1780), John McAndre (b. 1784), and several more children subsequently.  Reuben married Elizabeth Sullinger in 1800, and fathered Layton McAndre (b. 1805).  I have not been able to find any records that connect Robert to this family.  But Robert's birth date would fit easily into Reuben's family.  Furthermore, it's very interesting that the names Ruben, John, and Layton appear in the names of my ancestors as well as in the names of the Bunyan McAndre family.
There is a death record in the "Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953" for a man named Robt McEndre, which is the basis for the death date you cited: 29 May 1856.  I've not seen any other source for his death date.  The death record shows very little about Robt McEndre - nothing about his age, occupation, cause of death, place of birth or residence Place of death is Carroll Co.  But of the few things it recorded about him, it included a name for Parent: "Wm Winan" which creates more questions than it answers... The death date 1856 fits the census records: Robert is listed with his wife and children in the 1850 census, and he is not included with his wife and children in the 1860 census. Any help with this would be very appreciated, thanks, Chris, chrisolga@gmail.com

 

Posted 04/12/15 Surnames: Roberts

I'm trying to find a marriage record for John T. Roberts (1814-1850) and Amanda Smith Roberts (1816-1901). I believe John T. is the son of James and Betsy Roberts. James was a wealthy land/ slave owner in Henry County. He had a son, John T., who inherited one of his farms. Family Search indicates that John and Amanda were married on September 26, 1837. I cannot find a marriage record for them. I'm hoping that if it turns up, it will list John's parents. Can anyone help me find this document? Thanks! Diane Steiner, disteiner@gmail.com

Posted 01/11/15 Surnames: Wells

I am searching for my ancestor Littleberry Wells who was born 3 Apr 1762 in Dinwiddie, Virginia.  He was in the VA Militia during the Revolutionary War.  He later moved to Henry County, Kentucky.  He apparently passed in 1848 and his will was probated in Henry County that same year.  I found a record saying that he was buried in Steverson Cemetery in Bethlehem, KY.  My problem now is that I cannot find any record of the cemetery. I would appreciate any help in finding the cemetery and if any trace of his grave still exists a photo of the site.  I know that a lot changes in 150 years but I would love to find this burial site. Thank you for any help, Reba Wells Corley, rjcorley161@yahoo.com

Posted 05/08/14 Surnames: Robinson

Looking for the parents of my grandfather on my mother�s side. His name was James Lewis Robinson and he was born June 20, 1904 in Eminence, KY. and passed away September 10, 1965 in Indianapolis, IN.  He was an African-American male.  He had four children with two different wives- Jesse Lee (surname?) and Mary Eleanor Bryant.  Children�s� names are James Lewis Robinson, Jr., Margaret Frances Robinson, Ivalue Robinson and Lucia Emma Robinson.  I am also told he had a step-brother named Owen Robinson and two step-sisters named Lizzie Mae Smith and Rosa Lee Walker.  Also had an aunt named Daisy Barnhill who he stayed with for a short while in Indianapolis, IN.  I have also started a family tree online at ancestry.com and have tried to do some research on the website but have not had any luck in finding out who his parents were and who his (blood) siblings were, if he had any.  I do not live in KY so physically visiting there to do some research is not possible at this time.  I would appreciate any and all leads/information you might be able to share in helping me continue my family research. Any help with my family would be greatly appreciated! Wayne A. Wellington, well7440@bellsouth.net

Posted 06/20/2011 Surnames: Adams / Kirkwood / Jackson

In the Oldham, Henry, Jefferson County area there were 3 KIRKWOOD siblings married to 3 ADAMS siblings.  The ADAMS siblings were children of William and Nancy ___ ADAMS of York County, PA and Henry County, Kentucky. There were no KIRKWOOD elders in the area so their father must have been deceased and the mother remarried or also dead.  On Oct 9 1796 in Jefferson Co. MARTHA KIRKWOOD md MARTIN ADAMS bondsman was JOHN JACKSON, Jr.  This couple seems to have disappeared from Kentucky.  On 21 Jan 1800 MARY KIRKWOOD b 10 May 1776 d 12 Oct 1850 md FRANCIS ADAMS b 15 Apr 1776 d 10 Jun 1834. Bondsman was JOHN JACKSON.  Mary and Francis lived and died just over the Jefferson Co line in Oldham Co. off the old River Road. On 5 Jul 1810 WILLIAM KIRKWOOD md Naomi Morrison d of Hugh wit was Levi Tyler.  He married 2ndon 28 Aug 1820 to NANCY ADAMS d of FRANCIS ADAMS.  FRANCIS ADAMS was bondman.  It appears William married his niece.  The only reference I have found to the origin of the KIRKWOOD family was the 1850 census for Mary Kirkwood Adams says she was born Virginia.  There were KIRKWOOD�S in York Co Pa. but no connection has been found.  Since JOHN JACKSON was bondsman for both girls� marriages I assume there is a family tie.  Any information on any these people could be a help and will be appreciated. Thanks, Martha Easter measter@cfl.rr.com

 

Posted 05/02/2011 Surnames: Thompson

Nelson P. Thompson was born in what is now Oldham CO., KY, Jan 1812. I have seen estimates as late as 1814. He died, I believe some time between 1 Jun 1885 and 1897 in Bent CO., Colorado. Both his parents were born in VA. He married 20 Sep 1833, Telitha P. Van Cleave d/o David and Rachel Sweringen Van Cleave, in Decatur CO.,IN. Telitha was born 14 Feb 1810, Shelby CO., KY but by 1933 her family had moved to Decatur CO., IN. Nelson and Telitha may have stayed in Indiana maybe long enough to have at least there first child James C. Thompson but by the time of the 1840 census they were in Western Div., Henry CO., KY. By 1850,Clay CO., ILL. 1860,Bates CO., MO. 1870,Not Found, 1880,Bates CO., MO. 1 Jun 1885, enumeration dist. 2,Bent CO., Colorado. with his son Archibald H.M. Thompson and his family. Telitha died 24 Oct 1861, Bates CO., MO. His son Archibald was  in Los Angeles by at least 1897. As far as I have been able to find, Nelson never made it to Los Angeles. Children of Nelson P. and Telitha P. Van Cleave Thompson: CH: 1) James C. Thompson M: Mary Elizabeth Thacker. 2) Rachel Amanda Thompson M: David Landreth 3) Elizabeth C. Thompson M: William Alexander Drake 4) David Edmond Thompson M: Lucinda Abigail Drake 5) Archibald H.M. Thompson M: Sarah Elizabeth Cohee 6) Van G.S. Thompson: Seems to have died young.
   "   7) Mary Drusilla Thompson M: Nathaniel Anderson Griffitts. Nelson named his first daughter Rachel after Telithas' mother Rachel Swaringen. I believe He may have named his first son James C. Thompson or his second son David Edmond Thompson after his Own Father. I Have found James', Davids' and Archibalds' in that area of Kentucky. Also I believe there is a good chance that he named his second daughter Elizabeth C. Thompson after his mother. All this of course is speculation, but may give clues to his parents. Nelson P. Thompson is my wifes' gggrandfather. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. You may contact me at the following email wparham@bak.rr.com.  Thank You So Much, Walt Parham

Posted 03/24/2011 Surnames: Glenn / Knuckles
I am conducting genealogical research into my Great-great Grandparents, John F. Glenn & Mary E. Knuckles, of Newcastle, Henry County, Kentucky. My research indicates that John served in the Company A, of the 5 U.S. Colored Calvary. John enlisted in 1864. Further, my research indicates that John married Mary in 1864. I'm seeking in obtaining information about their marriage, and the birth of their children. I'm interested to know if Negros/Blacks were allowed to marry in Kentucky, 1864? If so, were they allowed to marry in a church, or was there some sort of Freedman's Bureau in operation to conduct the wedding?  Or is it  possible that the Army conducted the wedding? John & Mary had four children born in Henry County, are there any records of negro births in the county? Thank you for taking time to answer my question, and I'm sure your responses will help me in my research. Thank you in advance Rodney B. Caulton, caulton@att.net

I am of the Lindsey/Devine family from Smithfield. I used to live in Eminence as a child. I am trying to submit a DAR application with John Charles Lindsey as my patriot.  My grandfather is Claude Lindsey married Clella O'Nan. I can not connect John Lindsey 1758-1838 who resided in Henry County and has a court document for his pension from the
Revolutionary War to John Lindsey 1794-1861 who married Harriet Basey in Henry County in 1816. Their son David Oliver Lindsey is my great-great grandfather.  At some point John Jr would have moved to Scott Co as I
think David was born there and John Jr died there.  Do you have any documents or ideas to help in my search?  Thank you, Kathy Lindsey Miller, tkmiller1215@earthlink.net

I'm trying to find the parents of John Noble Roberts, b. 1827 in Henry Co., Ky. John is my g-g-grandfather. John married Sarah Ann Shuck in 1849 (Henry Co., Ky.). There is a connection to Hiram Roberts. Hiram signed the marriage bond between John Roberts and Sarah Ann Shuck. I'm not sure if Hiram is related to John or to Sarah Ann, since both John and Hiram signed the bond. John Roberts and Sarah Ann Shuck had the following children: Sarah Elizabeth, John David, Wm. Preston, Edmond Thomas, Hannah Margaret, Lorenzo Dow (there are two in Henry at the same time; very confusing, but
I've figured out this is my g-grandfather who married Lydia Shuck), Mary Francis, and James Roberts. Any help is appreciated. Or if you have a family connection, I'd love to
see what you know. Thanks, Tammy Shaw, hubert@bluegrass.net
 

Posted 03/01/2011 Surnames: Cook

According to Kentucky death records, my grandmother, Lena Cook (married name Kinman) was born in Henry County on 5/25/1902.  I believe her father's name was Levy or Levi Cook (born 1879 in Owen County).  The 1900 census shows him single and living in Port Royal as a hired hand for the Castleman family.  Then the 1910 census shows him living back in Owen County.  It shows his status as divorced.  It appears that between 1900 and 1910, he was married, had a child (Lena Cook) and was divorced all in Henry County.  I have been unable to find any of these records.  A divorce during that time would have been scandalous I am sure.  I would just like the know my great-grandmother's name and what happened to her. Thanks for any help, Karen Frans, karen_frans356@hotmail.com

After receiving an education at St. Mary's College, Marion County, Kentucky, he married October 31. 1833, Ellen Mitchell Owens, born July 1, 1818, the daughter of Nathaniel Owens of Green County, Kentucky.

Posted 03/10/2010 Surnames: Anderson

I am getting ready to start on an ANDERSON surname line and thought I would check to see if anyone had done any work on this line. My great-grandmother was Lola Barton ANDERSON (Armstrong), according to
her death certificate she was born in Henry County. I have since seen her born in Owen County as well.
Lola's father was Richard ANDERSON, per his death certificate: born 30 January 1852 in Kentucky; died 3 November 1933 in Mercer Co., KY; His father was Richard ANDERSON born in VA; His mother was Lucretia URTON born in OH. Lola's mother was Frances STEWARD (Anderson), per her death certificate:
born 21 January 1856 in Gallatin Co., KY; died 14 June 1948 in Mercer Co., KY; Her father was John STEWARD, location unknown; Her mother was Lucinda HENRY, location unknown. According to the 1860 Census for Gallatin County in the location of Warsaw there was a household with Richard ANDERSON (50) and Lucretia
(33), William H. (14), Anna Bell (11), Richard (7), Runkin W. (5) and Lydia (1). According to 1870 Census for Carroll County in the location of Jordan there was a household with Richard ANDERSON (60), Lucretia (45), Richard
(18), Bell (16), Franklin (14), Lidia (11), Lucinda (9), Catherine (7) and Elijah (3). Previous household was a William H. ANDERSON (24), Mary J. (22) and Firsh (sp?, female child).

'd'), Lucinda (25), Elizabeth (14), James B. (9), Robert F. (7), Francis (3) and Edward (2). If any of this interlinks with your ANDERSON research please let me know. Paul Gregory, Paul Gregory, pgregory@bloodhorse.com

in Henry Co., KY. For years I have been searching without success for his parents. I do have some ideas, but I have not proven any parent for him. One clue is that census records state his parents were from Virginia. Any

grandmother are buried. The date of birth on my grandfather says he was born in 1889. My grandmothers head stone spells her name as Wilhite, not Wilhoite, and I was always told her middle name was Mae. Also in checking
the Henry County Website i found there are quite a few Beverly's. I can recall my mother talking about a Stevie Beverly, a cousin or a relative. Am I on the right track?

about people with the surname "Mellon" or "Mellons," please contact me. Thank you so much.

There are many Pooles who lived in the Henry/Trimble/Oldham counties.  I am not sure if there is a connection to the Pooles from the Henderson county area, but I surely do wonder.  My grandfather was Vincent Poole (DOB 9/16/1886 and DOD 1961, married to Artrecia McCarty.  They had 7 children, many of whom lived and died in Ky.  My mother, Malissa Alton Poole Johnson is the only sibling left and she is 88.  I am trying to find information as a gift for her, but there are few folks left that I can ask. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your wonderful
work!  I look forward to hearing from anyone, Loretta Burd at dougandloretta79@gmail.com

Richard told his family that he had ridden the Orphan Train and we do believe he did, even though so far no record has been found (and evidence points to his not being adopted out) so he ended up back in Henry County.  He had a guardian, James RODGERS and was listed
in the 1897 School Census for Blackwell in Henry County.  Richard told the family that his sister and brother rode with him.  On the 1880 census for Pleasureville, Henry County, Richard's siblings that were at home are
listed: Isaiah VEST, age 6 and Sarah Christina VEST, age 3. These children would have had to been the ones that rode the train with him. No one knows what happened to them.  Did they ride or did they die?  We

Posted 01/07/2008 Surnames: Stark

Questions: Is there a cheaper way to get a copy of a probate record than renting the LDS film for Henry County? The reference I have is 1803-1824 FHL US/CAN Film 828254, Henry County KY Court Orders 3:1 and begins "At court held 19 Jan 1808, Sarah Stark widow and relict of Joseph Stark......" The children in the record fit the Joseph Stark I'm trying to research, but his wife's name should be Hannah. I've been in touch with some Stark researchers like Gwen Bjorkman and she wondered if someone had copied the record incorrectly, having not seen the original. (Joseph and Hannah Stark had a daughter Anna who married, 19 Jan 1812, Henry Co., Samuel Hayes. His father Samuel may have come directly from Ireland to Henry Co.) Would you advise renting the film or writing to the Henry Co probate Office (if so what address)? Many thanks for any suggestions or help you can share with me, Marti Lynes. malynes@comcast.net

Posted 07/31/2007 Surnames: Neff

My great great grandfather was John "Jack" Neff.  I have never been able to locate his parents.  On two separate censuses he claimed he was born in 1810 in Kentucky.  The nearest possibility we have been able to find so far is
that there was a Daniel Nave listed on the 1820 census for Newcastle, Henry County.  This Daniel Nave had two males in the household between 0- 10 years old.  One male was between 18-26.  One of the younger males
could be our John "Jack" Neff.  Daniel, himself, was listed as being over 45 years old.  Daniel Neff (who may have been the father of our John "Jack" Neff married Mary "Polly" Logan.  Two Logan families also lived in
Newcastle, Henry County Kentucky on the 1820 census.  Jas Logan was head of one of the families and John Logan was head of the other family. These two families living in the same proximity to each at the right time make a strong case.  I am hoping someone in Henry county can look at the records for that area between 1795 and 1820 and see if they locate any documents showing any actions by either of these families and especially anything showing any interactions between the two families. Thanks, Norman Neff, Gene1527@aol.com

Sanford

Henry County, Nov. 1824 will was probated for Daniel Sanford.  Henry County, KY Will
Records, 1800-1821, pg. 314. Daniel arrived in Bourbon Co. in 1798 and then moved to Henry where he died.  According to KY Biographies of a grandson, Lewis Major Sanford, I think errors have been made by those publishers of the past who simply wrote what the client presented without factual documentation. Please help me. First, Charles Sanford born in Virginia in 6 FEB 1790, was actually Charles born on that date in Dartmouth, MA. Charles' father was Richard.  This Richard was born circa 1764 and died in MA circa 1806. The major discrepancy being the location of birth and death making it improbable that this is the correct Daniel. The correct Daniel would be the Daniel born in Westmoreland, VA.  He had a son named Charles.  He died in Henry Co., KY and his will was probated there, too. I think there is a perponderance of evidence showing that those early bio book publishers were given incorrect information by a family member. If there are still lines to the Sanford family, please clarify this information for me. A descendant of Daniel Sanford of Virginia who died in Henry Co., KY in 1824. Thank you, Brenda Pike, hiptub2@aol.com

Horace's parents I'm not sure, but Sibbi's parents were Amos Jackson and Frances LeCompte who married in Ripley county, IN in 1817.  I do not know if Horace and Sibbi ever married as I have yet to find it.  The family of Horace and Sibbi LeCompte I have found in only one U.S. Census, and that is the 1870 Henry county, KY
census.  As I remember their children were Caroline, James, Frances Emmaline, Wm. and maybe a Susan.  The name LeCompte is so unusual and must be related to the LeComptes of Le Compte Bottom.  My great grandmother was Caroline Le Compte who married Simeon Tague on 1-4-1874 in Ripley county, IN.  They went to Nebraska in 1879 w/e sons and Simeon's parents.  My grandfather was their 4th son, Walter Rufus Tague. Caroline died 3-5-1880 leaving her 4 sons.  Simeon returned to Indiana and dropped the 4 boys hither and yond.  Would appreciate some light on Horace and Sibbi Ann Jackson LeCompte should anyone out there have any.

I am looking for any information on the parents of Polly Lundy.....James Lundy born abt. 1832 VA. and Jemima " Mimie" Barton born abt. 185?.
Here is one of the problems... In the 1880 census Mimie says she was born in Georgia her parents in South Carolina and gives her age as twenty five.  In 1910 while living with my grandparents,  she says she was born in KY so were her parents and gives her age as seventy six, which would mean she was born in 1833. I have been all over the census for Georgia and SC, but can not seem to find her, of course I have no Idea who her parents really are.
 
I think Mimie and parents might be from Henry County. I found  S.T. Barton living in Henry County alone with Wife Phoebe and daughters Mary Elizabeth, Sally and Mimie born 1858.   Mimie  was not a common name in KY in the 1800's,  the age is about right,  my mothers sisters names were Elizabeth and Sally. As you can see I have a long way to go to straighten this mess out.  I sure could use some help!

The problem is, in the one and ONLY census record I found him in, that is, 1900 Schuyler Co., IL., his name is most difficult to make out. At first I thought it may be "Lamen". Ancestry calls him "Larman", however, that is impossible to derive at, from that record. After more study, I have come to believe his name was perhaps "Laurence". Since there seems to be some connection between the IL,MO,OH,MD,KY LaMaster's,
I am hoping someone can help!!! 1900 Schuyler Co., IL Census: Lamaster   ?Laurence?   Born: Feb 1875 in IL as are parents Lizzie*1    Born: Sep 1880 all same Winnie*2    Born: May 1898 CO parents IL. *1:  Lizzie is  "Lizzie P. (Parks) Lamaster-Hawks".
*2:  Winnie is  "Winifred Mae (Lamaster) Jackson-Garside-Jackson". Winnie was my grandmother. She grew up in Kewannee, Henry Co., IL. after her mother (Lizzie) Remarried one Creed L. Hawks in Keewanee. That was in Nov 5-1906. In 1910 Kewannee, Henry Co., IL Census:

My Huge CLARK Brick Wall
My biggest brick wall begins with my 3rd Great-Grandmother, a woman named Cynthia Clark who married my 3rd GG, James Fears, in 1829 in Owen County.  It is said, though not proven that she was born in Owen County.  Her marriage bond was signed by her Father, James W. Clark.  While this marriage took place in Owen, she married a man with strong lines in Henry and I'm hoping someone in Henry might have information about her or the couple.  I have a photo of them and they appear to be approximately the same age which would put her birth somewhere around 1810-12.  I have had no luck in tracking them after marriage in the Kentucky censuses, but James does appear back in Henry in 1870 census as a widower living with his daughter, Desdemona Fears CLARK [who may have married a cousin in her mother's family?].  If you have any information about this CLARK branch,  please contact me at ewingb@infionline.net.

My family lived in Henry County from about 1800 till right near or right after the end of the "War of the Rebellion." The Civil War for some of us. So I have a lot to uncover in Henry County, including the grave of Cyrus Wiley, the !st Corporal of Eleazor Headdie's Company, War of 1812. Cyrus died in 1862 and is buried in Henry County.

Will you please try to help me find the names of the parents of  Vincent Jefferson Poole ? He married Cracinthia  Ann  Lindel in Hardin Co. Ky.    His son Thomas Jefferson Poole is buried in Smithfield.  I feel that the family lived in that area. Vincent married  15 Jan 1828.    Son T.J. was born 5 Nov  1844  .   He died  20 Nov. 1926 .   Surely  he wasn't the first child.   If so,  what took so long? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have any idea whom I could contact regarding the cemetery records for Sulphur Cemetery?  Who is responsible for it nowadays?  I would like to obtain the burial records for my great great grandparents, Wm. and Margaret Jackson, and don't know who to ask!

Hello, I'm researching mostly the Russell family but my g-g-grandfather married a Nancy Patterson.  Can you tell me about online info available such as census, birth records, etc?  I had found the Henry Co. 1852 birth records online and found relatives on there.  Also, does Bethlehem still exist?  How about Kentucky River?  If there isn't much on line yet, is it easy to visit the courthouse or wherever the records are kept?  Thanks  a lot.
