I am looking for information on my great grandparents
Aaron Ballew and Martha Nichols both born KY. Aaron 1805, Martha 1803 I
believe that they were born in Adair Co. I believe that David could be the
father of Aaron, the family belongs to the Methodist Church so there could be church
records that would tie them together. Any information on this family or where
I could write for Church records would be appreciated.
Thank you, Bessie

I remember a place my grandmother took out past the
lake and it was full of crystal rocks or that's what I thought when I was
young. This place was BEAUTIFUL and I know for a fact that I went there
with her when I was very very young. I would just like to find the place
again. I am doing futher reserch with my family and they may have
the answers, I just thought I would try this.
She was Evelyn Rogers before she married.........
My Grandmother Evelyn White was married to Charles
White, whose mother is Annie Mae White and they all lived on Maddux Lake Rd.
(or that's what it is called now). My grandfather is still alive and
still living there. He dosen't remember good, and from the time I was
born they have live there. Thanks So Much. Suzanne White

I have been
searching for over 15 years for my ggg grandfathers parents and siblings.
My ggg grandfathers name WARFIELD ESTES born Sept 5, 1821 married MARY ANN
MCKINNEY July 23, 1840 and he died Sept 1897 all of this happened in Breeding,
Adair Co., KY. On there marriage bond it reads he is the son of WILLIAM
ESTES but no mothers name is listed anywhere. Nothing on his wifes parents
is listed either but I know who she descends from. I have all of WARFIELD
and MARY ANN MCKINNEY ESTES' childrens names and so forth it is just his parents
and siblings that has been the brick wall for many years. He and MARY ANN
are both buried in the ESTES/MCKINNEY CEMETERY off of Independence Ridge Road in
Breeding, Adair Co., KY and he was the first to be buried there. 2 of his
sons are also buried there along with many other family memebrs (you can see a
listing of this cemtery on this site as well) Posted 9/13/2002 I'm looking for the parents of Milam Bennett. I
recently obtained Milam's death certificate where I found the following
information: **birth July 16, 1866 Adair Co., KY**death May 11, 1954
Barren Co., KY**buried May 14, 1954 Adair Co., KY at Morris Chapel
Cemetery**father William Bennett**mother Eliza Bennett**birthplaces for both
parents not included. I have William (age 42 b TN) and Eliza Bennett (age 38 b
KY) listed in the 1870 census of Adair Co with 7 children. In 1870, Milam
would have been around 4 years old yet "Milam" isn't present on this
census. Where is he? I've been informed by a distant relative that
this is indeed the correct family. She has a total of 8 children which
includes Milam. He seems to be the only one missing from the census.
Her information was written in a bible. Other family cousins have Mary
Jane Moss as Milam's mother, not Eliza Bennett as listed on the death
certificate. I was also informed that William Bennett, born ca. 1828
(according to the above census) was adopted and was previously a Hughes. There
you have it. I'm stuck. Milam was married a few times. One wife,
Arena Compton Bennett, was the twin of Lena Compton Wilson. Another wife,
Nettie Jackson, had three of his children: John, Mary, and Altie. Anyone
with a Hughes, Compton or Bennett link in Adair or surrounding counties please
drop me a line. Maybe we could make a connection. Posted 9/13/2002

Posted 8/6/2002 I am searching for information on Thomas Sanders and his wife Nancy. Someone told me that they believed that Thomas was the son of James and Mary Sanders. I have no proof of this. Nancy's last name according to her daughters death certificate began with a "B". They had a daughter named Mary Elizabeth Sanders that married James Washington Giles Jr. in 1876. I believe had a sister named Mahala. Mary Elizabeth died in 1939. There were several Sanders in the Casey Creek area. If anyone knows about the parents of Mary Elizabeth Sanders Giles, please help. Thank you in advance. Teanonna Reynolds teanonna@juno.com Posted 7/25/2002 Looking for the parents of Campbell Hughart and how they are connected to the Hugharts of Virginia and West Virginia.
My great, great grandfather, Young Alexander HUGHART
was born in Adair County, KY in 1845. He moved to Madison Co., Iowa in
1860 with a large group of people including his father, Rev. Campbell HUGHART
(United Brethren of Christ) who had strong anti slavery sentiments. Some
of the other surnames of families leaving Kentucky with them were : Blair,
Breeding, Armstrong, Turk, Carter, and others. Campbell HUGHART was born
in Adair County on Dec. 3, 1812. He married Mary Ann BLAIR (b. Dec. 3,
1812) on Dec. 17, 1835. Campbell died in Iowa in 1890 and Mary in 1901.
Their children were Sarah Jane; James Milton; John Blair; Young Alexander;

Posted 7/04/2002 Looking for
WILLIAM DUDLEY, THOMAS DUDLEY, and JOHN DUDLEY of Adair and Green counties.
John is my 3G-grandfather. Thomas witnessed John's marriage bond to Peggy
Sprowles in 1818, but no way of knowing if Thomas is a father, a brother, or
what. William and Thomas show up beginning circa 1800 on census in Green,
pre-formation of Adair. In 1810 William and wife Sarah are in Adair.
John appears in Adair in 1850, but may have been in Green prior to that.
I've been collaborating with several researchers on this line and there is
conflicting information regarding who is John's father...Thomas or William.
Anyone with further information, please email me at

Looking for my gg-grandfather,
David C. Boon(e) born in Ky. in 1823, but I don't know what County. I have not
found any info. on his parents, but am checking out the possibility that a
Hiram Cassel? Boone could have been his father. I do know that David did marry
a Rhoda C. Smith in Marshall Co., Al. in 1846! Possible the Boons had migrated
there also.
Is anyone able to come up with a
possible father for David born in 1823 & went to Al.??
Thanks for any info, Rhonda

Posted 6/18/2002 I am looking for the parents of John Wesley Sexton who is my great grandfather. He was born on March 19, 1828 and died September 16, 1850 in Adair County. I believe he had two brothers Pickney J. Sexton and James William Sexton. Thanks, Pat Goodwin psg1946@msn.com Posted 6/18/2002
Trying to connect
Cornelius Mosbey/Mosby to parents & locate siblings.. I think they
were possibly Micajah Mosbey 1792-1836 & Nancy Berry, daughter of William
Berry. Cornelius was born in Adair Co., Ky. in 1829-30. He is
listed as 21 on the 1850 census. His wife is Susannah Lacy, daughter of
Henry lacy, & has at that time one daughter, Tabitha J. Now Nancy
Mosby married Henry Lacy in 1844. Cornelius married Susannah in 1847.
My g-grandfather, Willam Cornelius, was born in Terra Haute, Vigo Co.,
In., in 1865. I have found where Cornelius was with the 124th Indiana
Inf. inlisting in Terra Haute in 1864. Now after that I find
nothing until finding Cornelius being a pensioner. At that time he
is living in Mo. No town or county. My g-grandfather, William
Cornelius & faamily are in Sebastein Co., Arkansas by 1900. This
group of Mosby's, Berry's & Lacy's seem to be intertwined for many
decades. I just can't seem to confirm the parentage of Cornelius
Mosbey. Someone else said he might be the son of one of Micajah Mosbey's
brothers. So, if I haven't confused you & I'm sure that I have, that
is what I need. I have marriage bond for Micajah Mosbey & Peggy
Jesse in 1817 & again with Nancy Berry in 1825. Have the will
of Henry Lacy in 1852, witnessed by Cornelius Mosbey & Wade Mosbey.
I have the marriage bond for Cornelius Mosbey & Susannah Lacy in 1847 &
also for William Mosbey & Nancy Jesse in 1820. Then a marrige bond
for William M. Mosbey & Savannah Berry on 1844. One interesting
note. On the funeral home records for my g-grandfather William
Cornelius, it lists his father as Cornelius Mosby & his mother as MARTHA
Lacy, both of Ky. Anyway, if you can figure this mystery out of me on
his parentage I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks again, Donna

Posted 5/22/2002 I am researching these families in Adair County. I don't have definitive information on Cabell connections there but some are possible. Campbell Goode, son of Daniel Goode, born VA ca 1745, married his second wife Susannah (Thomas) Dameron Bondurant 13 August 1813 in Adair Co.

The above Brick Wall has been answered.
Unfortunately, the email address is no longer good so the answer is posted
below. (04/04/2007)
"The woman who married Joe Bryant was actually Mary Etter Cravens (not Mary A. Grider). I have a lot of information about the Cravens family. Joe Bryant's second wife, Mae Bryant was Viola Mae Bryant, d/o John Austin Bryant and Rutha Belle Brockman. The two girls are their children. One of them was my mother, Mary Walker Bryant. They had 2 more girls on 21 Sep 1927, but they died the following February. They are buried in the same cemetery as Mary Etter Cravens Bryant."" The poster's grandfather Arthur Bryant was actually born 25 Jan 1910. That would calculate to abt. 1909. He married Lola Smith who was born 11 Feb 1911. The woman who married James Morgan Smith was in fact a Grider so that is right." For additional infomation contact Julie56@aol.com

I am seeking information on the ancestry of Uriah
Rogers (or Rodgers) and Ellen (or Eleanor) Patrick Rogers/Rodgers married
January 13, 1825 in Adair Co., KY. Uriah was in the 1830 census of
Barren Co., KY and the 1840 census of Morgan Co., IL. The family later
moved to Randolph Co., MO and were there for the 1850 census. They were
living in Macon Co., MO when Uriah died abt. 1858. Census records show
both Uriah and Ellen were born in VA; Uriah was b. abt. 1804 and Ellen abt.
1803.
Uriah may have had a brother Jesse C. Rogers (or
Rodgers) born 1797 Greenbriar Co., VA (now WV) married to Ruth Hurt Dec. 11,
1820 Adair Co., KY. Ruth b. abt. 1802 was the daughter of Nathan and
Frances Allen Hurt. Ruth died abt. 1822 KY. Jesse then married
Vina McHorgue b. abt. 1810 KY. They moved to Chariton Co., MO and were
there in the 1850 census. I have info on the children for both Uriah and
Jesse.
Uriah and Jesse appear to be connected. Family
group sheets were submitted to the LDS Library in Salt Lake City on these two
by the same individual whom I have not been able to contact. Chariton
Co., MO where Jesse lived adjoins Macon Co. and Randolph Co., MO where Uriah
lived. I suspect they are brothers but have no proof.
Uriah Rogers has been a brick wall for over three
decades. I would be most grateful if anyone has info on his parents or
siblings and would be happy to share the info I have collected on Uriah's
descendants.

Looking for information on John
Phillip Sanders. Here are some facts: John was born in KY in 1844,
he fought in the Civil War and he moved to Indiana after the war. Here
are some theories: He joined the 13th KY Cavalry in Columbia, KY--so I
am assuming (if this is my John) that he was from Adair Co., KY. I found
a John of the right age in Adair Co. 1850 census--parents being a Thomas H.
and Sarah Sanders. I am trying to confirm this as my John Phillip
Sanders. If it is, I would like to continue my search with Thomas and
Sarah. I would also like to correspond with any Sanders in this area who
might be able to help me more.
More on John: He
married Margaret Melissa Miller in Bartholomew Co., IN in 1871; he and
she had the following children: Frank b. 1884, Edgar, Ernest, Cora and
Ethel. Cora married a Steambarger and Ethel married Charles Royse 1st
and a man named Breeding 2nd. Another clue that might connect my John to
Adair Co., KY is that I have noticed the names Royse and Breeding on this
site. Any help or advice would be appreciated. My email is

I know for fact that they lived in ADAIR county for the births of their four daughters in 1841,1849, 1854 and 1857. For some strange reason their son was born in Breckinridge County in 1864.

If you have a suggestion on how I can confirm this, I would be grateful. Sue Martin Nana76@aol.com
