that he was in the 2nd Michigan Cavalry. Weller, Stafford Daniel, 25, Co.
H. Private ( New Recruit, Died and Buried Lebanon Ky. 11/10/1862. He
probably died in the Battle of Perryville. And I have a feeling he does not
have a tombstone. How ironic He was a stone cutter by trade.
I have no idea which cemetery as the National Cem did not exist until
1867. Thanks, Patri Hilborn

Surname: Green
I have been looking for the parents
of my great great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Green. Believed to
be born 25 Jan 1850 Kentucky. Both parents, according to 1880
Arkansas census documentation, were born in Kentucky. I have gone
through each "Green" listing in the 1860 Kentucky census and have
found the following. I am not sure that this family is the one for
which I am searching. Out of the four listings found for a 10 or 11
year old Thomas in the 1860 census only one panned out. The census
was taken during the middle of the year. Knowing that Thomas J's
birthday was in January, he would have been 11 years old.
Is there any way to find out if the
10 year old Thomas listed below had a middle name of Jefferson? If
this truly is my Thomas Jefferson, what was Ann's maiden name?

Surname: Miles
My great grandmother was Elizabeth Miles (b 10-10-1879 - d. 1959?). She
married John Williams & lived in Bardstown, KY. Supposedly, my great grandmother
was from Marion Co. Her father was John Thomas Miles &
her mother was Julia Hall. Elizabeth's siblings were:
Agnes, Ann, John Francis,(1883-1905) & Jospehine (1881-1886). Julia died when
she was 27 and John Thomas Miles then married Emily Gardiner. 6 children were
from this union - Catherine (Kate), Roy, Margaret (Maggie), Leo, Minnie McHenry
& Emmitt. I am at a terrible loss in finding anything past John Thomas Miles as
far as his parents, etc. I've think I have Julia's - George W. Hall & Delphaina
Bryant (Brian?). Of course, I can't find any birthdays, which would make this a
lot easier! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope to hear from someone
soon - my head is hurting beating against the brick wall! Thank you immensely -

Surname: Spalding
I have a large combination
autograph-scrapbook that belonged to "Miss Maggie Spalding" and I would love
to get it back to her kin if I can locate them. The book has hand drawings,
and pictures of flowers, and pasted poem clippings, and many poems and
notes written to "Miss Maggie." They seem to be mostly from male admirers
who go to great lengths extolling her beauty and virtues, and most are
signed with just initials. The notes are dated from 1856 to 1860, and most
are noted to be from Louisville, KY and some from Maysville.
I found a Margaret Isabella Spalding,
daughter of Jack Spalding and Harriet Beaven Pottinger, born in 1842, and
married in 1861 to Thomas H. Johnson. She had descendants, but names were
not listed. This was in a book found on Heritage Quest called "Origins of
Clements - Spaldings and Allied Families of Maryland and Kentucky" by J. W.
S. Clements, published by the author in 1928.
This Margaret would fit the right age
bracket to have had an autograph book as a teenager. But I have no proof
that it is the correct one. If you have any information about "Miss Maggie"
or her extended family, I would appreciate knowing, and would be willing to
send the book to them. I know it isn't in my family line, but it's a
mystery that I would like to solve. I hope someone can help me get this back
to the correct family! Thank you, L. H. Murrell

Surname: Graves
I am looking
for information on William Samuel Graves. He was born in what was Washington
County in November of 1820. He later moved to Crittenden Co., and became a
doctor. His parents stayed where they were, and that area became Marion
County. His father died in 1844, per a biography I found. However, it did
not list his name. It also said they moved from St. Mary’s Co., MD about
1794. There are several Graves who could be his parents; John, William, and
George. I have tried to find wills for them, with no luck.
I believe his
parents to be George Noble Graves and Catherine Medley. They were both born
in St. Mary’s Co., and moved with their parents when they were children.
They were married in 1810, in Washington Co. George died in 1844, and she
remarried, to Ralph Leak. They both died in MO. They had several children,
and one was named William. I know nothing about that William. I am hoping he
is my William S. Graves. George’s parents were John Graves and Sarah
Catherine Noble. They were Catholic, and I did find some Graves families at
St. Charles Church, but not these men. Another researcher thinks his parents
were John Graves and ?? Barnes. After trying to contact her for several
years, I tried to check the sources she stated and could not verify any of
them. A biography of one of Dr. Graves sons said his grandfather was William
Graves, from St. Mary’s County, MD.
As you can see,
it is very confusing. I went to the library in Marion Co. a few years ago,
and I was quite disappointed in the amount of genealogy info they had. This
was before I knew you could go to the courthouse. I also checked microfilm
records at the Archives in Frankfort. I only found a will for a Charles
Graves, widow Eleanor, and he only had one son (not a William). I would
appreciate ANY help, Diane B.

Surname: Brady / Raley
I am looking for a death record/ obit and burial location for

(age 23) In Lebanon. According to family history he died when his only son
Thomas Adrian was about 6 yrs old. Thomas was born in Bradfordsville in March
1895. Nate does not appear on the 1900 census so he may have died between June
of 1894 and the time of the census in 1900.
I will be traveling to Lebanon May 2009 and would be so grateful if anyone has

I am trying to
find proof of who the
parents of my gr gr gr
grandfather, Nathaniel
(or Nathan) Sapp were.
He was born in 1822 or
23 In what later became
Marion CO in the New
Market area. When the
tornadoe destroyed the
churches in New Market,
Nathan donated the land
and help build the
original Muldraugh Hill
Church. He married
Elizabeth Vessell. I
believe his parents are
probably Benjamin Sapp
and Betsey Bird Sapp,
but I cannot find proof
of this, but I cannot
place him in any other
family either. My mother
was Dixie Sapp, her
father Howard Sapp, his
father WT Sapp, his
father Wm Perry Sapp who
was Nathan's son. All
were born and died and
buried in what is now
Marion CO, except my
mother who is buried in
Knox CO IN. Nathan and
Elizabeth would be in
the cemetery right
across from the church,
but the only family
marker left there is

Surname: McCarty
It has been a
while since I
have worked on
my McCarty
family line. A
few questions
still stick in
my mind and pop
up, maybe
someone has ran
across what I'm
searching for
since it's been
a few years
since I posted
these
questions...
Justin McCarty [bn.
1757] raised
a large family
in Washington
Co. and the area
of Washington
Co. that became
Marion Co. He
owned quite abit
of land, sold
some [I have
documentation]
and had 200 +/-
acres that
eventually was
divided among
his children
when he died.
His children
married into the
Milburn, Kinnett,
Inman, Mercer,
Jarboe, Thorp,
Simpson, Hayse,
Hinds[Hines],
Hays, Nelson and
Seamster
families, I have
documentation. I
won't list
grand-children's
marriages, my
concern is
Justin's
children and
spouses.
Some of Justin's
children,
spouses,
grandchildren
and collateral
family members
are buried in
what is called
"the Old
Hourigan Farm
Cemetery". This
is NOT the
Hourigan
Cemetery
included with
Haysville/ Beech
Fork Cemetery at
the Haysville
Church. The Old
Hurigan Farm
Cemetery is
supposedly on
Beech Fork Road.
My thoughts are
that this
cemetery
possibly is on
land that Justin
McCarty owned at
one time, and
that the Old
Hourigan
Cemetery is
actually the
McCarty Family
Burying Grounds.
This cemetery
was documented
by I believe a
Mr. Sheppard
years ago and
noted there were
possibly a
hundred graves
and was very
over grown.
I suspect that
Justin and his
wife Mary and
their children
that I can't
find burial
places for are
in this
cemetery. My
reason for
thinking this is
due to the
burials that are
documented as
being in this
cemetery that I
know is Justin's
family and the
obituary and
death
certificate that
I have of my Gt.
Gt. Gt.
Grandmother
Theresa [Maiden
name unknown]
Thorp - McCarty
- Harmon
[Hammond?] -
Devine, stating
she was buried
in the McCarty
Family Burial
Ground. The Old
Hourigan
Cemetery is the
only cemetery I
find that has
"old"
McCarty family
burials in it.
My quest is
finding just
where this
cemetery is and
enough
information to
make my
suspicions
feasible that
the Old Hourigan
Cemetery "could"
be my McCarty
Families burial
Grounds. The
land where this
is located
definitely is in
proximity of
Justin McCarty's
original land,
land of his
heirs and some
land that was
sold off by his
children,
possibly sold by
Justin's son
Milburn, who
sold his land
about 1845 and
moved to
Daviess/Ohio
Cos. Ky. Or by
son Thomas
Samuel & wife
Mary Polly who
sold one tenth
of 121 acres on
the waters of
Beech Fork, to
Jacob Frowman in
1830.
I can't find the
burial places
of:
1. Justin & wife
Mary Graham
2. Mary Polly
McCarty Milburn
& husband David
Milburn
3. William
McCarty & wife
Elizabeth Jarboe
McCarty Myers
4. Joseph
McCarty & wife
#1 Miriah Mercer
& wife #2
Theresa Thorp
McCarty Devine
[my line]
5. Thomas Samuel
& wife Mary
Polly Inman
McCarty. [Some
have Polly
marrying
Shadrick Inman
1828-9, this is
NOT true, Polly
and Thomas are
still together
after 1830]
6. Sarah McCarty
Hays and husband
Peyton Simpson
7. James McCarty
and 2nd. wife
Rachel Hinds
[Hines]
8. Samuel H.
McCarty and wife
Sarah Seamster
McCarty.
9. Jane McCarty
Nelson and
husband Stokey
Nelson.
Justin's son
Milburn & wife
Catherine
Kinnett McCarty
are buried in
Ohio Co. Ky.
Justin's
daughter, Sarah
McCarty Hays and
husband Harrison
Hays are buried
in Old Hourigan
Cemetery noted
above. James
McCarty's 1st
wife, Priscilla
Hays McCarty is
buried at Old
Hourigan
Cemetery noted
above.
I'd also like to
know what
happened to
Thomas Samuel &
Polly Inman
McCarty, as no
other records
can be found for
them after 1830.
Also what
happened to Jane
McCarty Nelson &
Stokey Nelson.
No records
except marriage
bond can be
found for them.
Any ideas or
information
would be greatly
appreciated!

Surname: Carlile
The 1850 census shows my maternal great-grandparents John E. K. Carlile
(1817-1879), and his wife, the former Matilda Scott (1817-1900), living in
Marion County, probably farming in the Bradfordsville area. Sometime shortly
before the Civil War they moved to McDonough County, Illinois, following
Matilda's brother Richard Jr., who had moved there earlier, and
I can account for the Carlile family after that. Before that, however, is only a
guessing game.
According to the 1840 and 1850 Marion censuses, there were several Scott
families living near the Carliles, including Matilda's father and mother,
Richard Scott Sr. and the former Jane Smith, but the closest possible Carlile
(or Carlisle) relatives lived in the Green/Taylor area. If someone can help me
nail down information on any of the earlier Carlile-Scott
ancestors, I'll gladly share what I have. Stan Slusher,

without any luck. He married my gg-grandmother Catherine Adams Bailey b.
Bradfordville, KY. October 24th 1828 – d. December 3rd

The family
ended up in
Missouri about 1845 in (St

Reynolds Co), Dent, (Thayer, Oregon Co), and (Eminence, Shannon County)
where Morgan and Catherine died and are buried. (Munsell Cemetery) They
had 13 children in all.
It is
thought that Morgan’s father was from VA/Maryland and mother from
South Carolina. I have many of Morgan and Catherine’s children and

Surname: Green
I am searching for information on the family of John F. Green, born
abt. 1856 in KY. Shows up in Marion Co., Lebanon in 1880 census. Occupation
was Printer. He married Mary Ann Nash, (born abt. 1858 in KY) on 15 May
1878, St. Rose Catholic Church. Married by J. O. O'Dyre. Witnessed by Horace
C. Boone and Bridget at McCanliff (more likely Bridget McCauliff). Her
Father was John Nash (1826-1883) and Mother was Catherine McAauliff (-1869).
List of Children.
Mary Ann's parents were John Nash and Catherine McAullif who both died in
Louisville. When her sister Bridget McAulliff Nash Buckman died at age 36,
bet Oct - Nov 1896 in Springfield, KY, Mary Ann's husband was made executor
of Bridget's estate for a reason yet to be determined. Oddly enough in
Bridget's will which was written and approved by a judge it stated that her
assets were not to be used for her husbands debts. There are court records
to be found at Frankfort (I have the dates to look) but I have not managed

lists Marion Co. as the birth area of John Cornelius Scott, son of Shadrack
Scott, whom was living in Cumberland Co. KY from Pittsylvania Co., VA. John was
