Russell/Buckman
Looking for John Buckman Russell married Marcella Bolton in 1860, Marion
County, Kentucky. He was born April 1828 in Marion County and died
1906 in Union County, Kentucky. Charles Russell was also from Marion
County and lived next door to John Buckman Russell in Union County,
KY. Charles was born 1822 in Marion County, KY. I began looking for
a Russell and Buckman relationship, I found Charles Lewis
Russell, Jr. and Julia Ann Buckman in Marion County. They married 14
June 1821 in Marion county so both John Buckman and Charles
could be their children. Are John Buckman and Charles Russell
the children of Charles Lewis Russell, Jr. and Julia Ann Buckman?
Any help appreciated, Mike Gough

My wife’s family has hit a brick wall for her 3rd

Washington, Monroe, Missouri. The second and third children were born in
Lebanon, Marion, Kentucky. The last one being born in 1846. The 1850
census shows all three children living in District 1, but living with a
farmer named Adams. The parents are conspicuously missing. We don’t know
what happened to them. They disappeared sometime between 1846 and 1850. Is
there a way to find out what happened to the parents? Milton J. Hocker was
supposedly born in 1818, also in Lebanon. We don’t know who his parents are
either. Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

Spalding – a shoemaker who lived in Marion county per the 1850, 1860 and
1870 census and was born about 1828 in Marion County. He married

records suggest the name could have been Bell Lenento, Eisbelle
Lennsartz, Lena Artz, etc. They both show up in the 1850 and 1860
census, in the latter with children Thomas, David, Laura, Martin and
Joseph. Isabell is not in the 1880 census and may have died during or

Surname:
Simpson
I am trying to find the last resting place of my great-great
grandfather John B. Simpson and his wife, Elizabeth. The 1850 Census has
them living in the crossroads village of New Market outside the Marion
County seat in Lebanon. John B. was born in Marion Co. in 1807. Elizabeth
was born the county in 1808. John B. apparently died after the 1850 Census
because only Elizabeth and her five children appear on the 1860 and 1870
Census. I have tracked down Mathew, the last child born in 1842, to Purdin,
Missouri where he and his wife Laura are buried. My grandfather, James W.
who lived to be 96, was a product of that union, but can't find any record
of the deaths of his aunts Louisa, Mary Jane, Sarah or uncle Thomas in
Kentucky. The loss of Marion County records in John Hunt Morgan's raid on
July 5th, 1863 has made the search very difficult. The 1850 census listed
John B's wealth at $1.200 which in 2002 dollars was $37,000. Any help will
be appreciated, thanks, Ross Simpson

Bricken / Montgomery
My brick wall is the family of William
Bricken and Mary Elizabeth Montgomery. They were married in 1862 in
Washington County. I do not know who their parents were and need that
information. The 1870 census for Lebanon, KY. shows that William is 37
years old and Elizabeth is 25. They are shown with three children,
Frances, Thomas and Ida. The 1880 census also for Lebanon shows the
last name as Bricker however the names of William and Mary Elizabeth are
correct. Also shown are more children; George H. b. 1871, Edward c.
1876, Mattie c. 1874 and Ella 5 mos. Can someone help me with birth and
death records of William Sr. and Mary Elizabeth? Both were born in
KY. Mary Elizabeth's family hails from Virginia. Also, I'm interested

Lebanon in 1901. Specifically I'd like the owner's name and how long it
was in operation. Thanks for anything you can offer,

Surname:
Howard
My “brickwall” ancestor is James Howard.
He was born about 1757 in St. Mary’s County, MD and moved to Kentucky (then
Washington County). He is often shown as living on Prather’s Creek of the
Rolling Fork. Marion County, of course, did not exist at the time of his
death (1802), but stranger things have happened in the genealogy world.
We have his will, filed in Washington County, which gave his land to his
wife Mary. It also lists his children, confirming that we have the correct
James Howard. (By the way, James Howard is my gggg grandfather.)
It seems logical that if he died on Prather’s Creek of the Rolling Fork that
he was probably buried in that area. Since it is now Marion County, I
thought it was worth a try with the Marion County folks.

We are unable to find a death record for Mrs. Richard Harrison
Whitfield. Elizabeth “Bettie” Ann Craven daughter of Thomas J. Craven ,
married Harrison Whitfield in 1889. Their 1st and only child together
was my husbands grandmother Margaret “Maggie” Whitfield and she was born
in January of 1890. After that known date, we have zero information on
our Elizabeth Bettie Ann Craven WHITFIELD. We believe is is very
possible that she died giving birth to Maggie or sometime before May of
1894, because Harrison Whitfield then married Emily S. Caulk. Emily and
he had 3 children together. If my memory serves me correctly, Emily died
abt. 1915, then he married Mary Ollie Allen Murray Spratt WHITFIELD.
They did not have any children, tho his son James lived with him.
Richard Harrison WHITFIELD and all his wives stayed put. They lived
in his original home, always. It was in Raywick, Marion County, KY. Any

Most of the family are in St. Francis cemeteries. I Have some land
records showing where Burdit & Press bought from & sold land to naming a
few: Thompson, Vancliave, Mattingly, Buckler, Boaman, Nevitt.
#1 - Can anyone look in land record book 1896 - 1898, book 20 page 209.
This is the last record we had found of Burdit Davis selling land. He sold
to Thompson. May have additional names we are missing.
#2 - 1908 Book 31 page 91. Lists Press Davis selling land to Higdon.
Preston was dead at this time. Was it his wife selling
the land?
#3 - Trying to go back further on Burdit. Find him in tax records back in
1840 with no family.

I am searching for *any* information/articles/references about a "Reverend
Darren Gain", circa 1949 or thereabouts. I own a historical book which was
inscribed by this Reverend -- and I'm interested to see if I can uncover
something about the book's roots and the Reverend who inscribed it. The book
holds *great* meaning to me, and the information is solely for
personal curiosity's sake. I've owned the book for about 15 years now; but it
was published in the late 1930s. Specifically, the inscription reads: Rev.
Darren Gain, Lebanon, Kentucky,
July, 1949. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

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?

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

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

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: 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,

bn. 1757 and died 1825 in Washington Co. Ky. Justin at age 35, marries
Mary Graham in Fayette Co. Ky. 1792 at Walnut Hills Baptist Church. It
is unclear if this is Justin's 1st marriage. Any help with this family

Surname: Mudd
I am searching for information on Alexius Mudd. The oldest direct line
ancestor that I have verified primary source information in this line is his
daughter, Mary Jane Mudd 1824-1880. Does anybody have any information with
source (even secondary source) on who Alexius Mudd's mother was or a closer
date as to when he died?? Any information at all sourced or not would be
appreciated so I have clues to research. (Undocumented
information from Internet) There are a number of other spellings
including "Electious Mudd". Any help with this line would be great...
thanks, Jackie Whedbee,

Surname: Bailey
I have been
trying to find my gg-grandfather Morgan R. Bailey AKA Richard Morgan b.
April 4th 1817 –
d. April 1st 1905 mother father and siblings for years
without any luck. He married my gg-grandmother Catherine Adams Bailey b.
Bradfordville, KY. October 24th 1828 – d. December 3rd
1897, she is the daughter of Henry Adams and Sara Arthur.
I believe a
son, James Bailey b. abt. 1842 and daughter Kesiah Jane Bailey b. abt.
1844 were born in
Marion or Washington County
as well.
The family
ended up in
Missouri about 1845 in (St
James) Phelps Co where more children were born. They moved to (Black,
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
grandchildren but very little on their history… but then, that’s another
state.
Thanks, Carl

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
to get there due to living in Alaska.
My main interest is research on Mary Ann Nash's sister Bridget McAullife
Nash who married Robert Anthony Buckman. However I have reached multiple
brick walls on them and am trying to find some collateral information Any
information anybody has on the Green family would be appreciated. ANYTHING
AT ALL will help. Jackie Whedbee,
