Our brickwall is Jesse Hancock. From what we can gather he was born in Adair County in 1824. He married Celia (Sellah, Selia) Polston in 1869. They had several children including my husband’s grandfather, John Franklin Hancock. If we could find a birth record with a date of birth and his actual parents (we have had 3 sets of parents mixed in several trees so far) then maybe we can go further back in the line. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Lottie Hancock elegantasgarbo@gmail.com

My name is Marshall K. Grant. I am the great grandson of Albert Franklin (“A.F”. – 1850-1925) who, along with his wife Matilda and five children, left Adair County in the late 1890’s and relocated to Indian Territory, near what now is Hartshorne in Oklahoma, my home state. I am writing to ask for assistance in locating information about A.F.’s grandfather, Michael…my great, great, great grandfather.

A.F.’s father was Eli Grant (1813-1874), who is buried in the Grant Cemetery at Glen’s Fork. Eli and wife Frances had at least six children: Joseph M., Sarah M. “Sallie” (Walkup), Huldah (Strange), Albert Franklin, Eli, and Rosaline “Rosa” (Strange). Other children may include John Milton and N.H.(sons), and Mary Jane and Victory F. (daughters).

At this point, the line becomes confusing. Eli’s father, Michael, is believed to have been born between 1761 and 1767, either in Virginia or North Carolina, and to have died in Adair County between 1850 and 1854. Although there is evidence he was in Kentucky as early as 1788, I have documentation that, in 1806, Michael Grant received a Kentucky Land Grant for 400 acres in Adair County, near the Pettit’s (now Petty’s?) Creek water course. He appears to have spent the rest of his life in Adair County, appearing in the 1850 census as a member of son Eli’s 12-person household located in District 1. His wife, Jane (Mear) is listed as age 76.

I have been unable to confirm that Michael is buried in Glen’s Fork Cemetery with son Eli, nor have I located him in any of the several other Adair County cemeteries with multiple Grant graves. In addition, I am most interested to learn something about Michael’s mother and father, for whom I have no information other than a reported 1770 document from Rowan County, North Carolina, that suggests a Michael Grant, age 3, was indentured to a William Grant to learn the “art and mastery of a weaver”. This document states that Michael and his sister Rachel, age 12, are the “orphans of James Grant, deceased”. I have found no other dependable information about James Grant.

It is my hope that I have relatives living in Adair County who might be able to shed some light on Michael and his background. I would be very appreciative of any assistance. Thanks very much, Marshall K. Grant marshallkgrant@gmail.com (please note, my email has changed)

I am currently searching for the parents of Mordecai Warner Jessee who married Nancy Elizabeth England. They had 12 children. I have seen conflicting information on who his parents are some list Lazarus Jesse and Rebecca Huggard as his parents while others state his parents Thomas Hall Jesse and Nancy Dollins. If anyone has any information on him I would love to hear from you. I am willing to share what I know about the family as Nancy is my husbands 4th great aunt. Thank you for any help. Please contact me at Crystal England

My name is Richard Collins and I am continuing my search for Samuel Collins’ documentation in Adair Co. He emigrated from Washington Co., Virginia, about about 1814. He married Agness/Nancy Maxwell in 1810 (documented) in Washington Co. Virginia. He served in Cap’t H. St. John Dixon’s Co., Va. Mil. during the War of 1812. In a post from 1996 in RootsWeb, Ruth Collins posted about Zachariah Collins’ journey in 1810 from North Carolina to Adair Co, during which his parents both died. I have similar notes left by a family member. They both lived on Cabin Creek in the vicinity of Montpelier. Was Zachariah Sr. related to Samuel? Contact me at rsap88@icloud.com

Posted 10/11/15 Surname: BURTON/BRYANT/COFFEY/JANES/SEXTON/LAWLESS/GRIDER/FOX/HARDEN/GOODIN. All with connections to Adair Co., KY.

COFFEY: I'm stuck at Jonnie Lee Coffey b 24 Feb 1899/1900 who married Fannie Bet Burton in Adair Co 10 July 1921. I have Fannie Bet as daughter of Wm Holmes Burton and Rosaline Burton. Wm is son of Jesse E Burton and Pracy/Pracia Jane Smiley and Rosaline is daughter of James Madison Burton and Nancy Elizabeth Lawless. So that's two lines of BURTONs. I'm stuck at Jesse E Burton b about 1833 and James Madison Burton (n.d.). A third line of Burton family lines is a Bessie Ann Burton b about 1895. I have no clue who her parents are. She married a Frank BRYANT b March 1895, son of Frederick Bryant b 1872 md (yet another line of Burtons) Rowann Burton of Adair Co., daughter of Arthur Burton and Sarah Goodin. Frederick Bryant was son of Peter Hawk Bryant (about 1843 - 1925) md to Sarah Sallie Fox. I have no idea who her parents are. Peter Hawk Bryant was son of David Bryant (1807 - Jan 1833/4) and Sarah Grider (1816 - 1900). David was son of John Bryant and Elizabeth Harden. Elizabeth died in Adair Co 3 July 1854. Any and all help or direction is appreciated. Thanks, pamelamix@aol.com

My family and I have had a very hard time finding any marriage information and nailing down the actual information for our Great-Great Grandfather and Great-Great Grandmother William Alford McGinnis and Mary Ellen Spoon.

Apparently both W. A. McGinnis, born about 1841 and Mary Ellen Spoon born about 1859, lived around Harmony, KY and also lived in Fairplay, KY. They had three children Lyles Homer, Burton, and Lilian. They eventually ended up in Fentress and Overton counties in TN. The William A. McGinnis appears to be related to Green Berry McGinnis - I just can't find a link between him and Mary Ellen. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, Kathleen Muller kat_pecosa@yahoo.com

I need help filling in the blanks! John Aaron Curry, born 1842 in Adair County, Kentucky. At around age of 6 or so, he went with his parents (may have been Andrew J. Curry and Mary Breeden) from Kentucky to Missouri via ox-drawn wagon. He had at least 2 siblings, a sister and a brother. I believe their names were Jack and Mary, listed in a newspaper obituary for him, but I don't know whether they were older or younger. Their parents both died (or vanished...) not long after they reached Missouri, and John was raised by a family by the name of Proctor. Jack and Mary were raised by other families. I really want to get in contact with anyone else who researches the Curry Surname in Adair Co. Thank you for any help, Wendy (Curry) Libby, wmlibby@gmail.com

I have hit a brick wall in my search for Samuel Collins. He was a resident of Adair County and lived and died near Montpelier about 1834-1835. He was married to Agnes's/Nancy Maxwell in Winchester Co., VA in 1810. They had12 children, one - Nathaniel Maxwell Jackson - is my ancestor. My problem is that I have not found definite proof of his presence. Census, tax rolls, land deeds, all are dead ends. All my search is based on written family records which - for his children at least - match other records. I know he was in Adair Co. Help! Richard Collins, chem10beaker@gmail.com

RE: ARW Land Grant #551 on Russell Creek for LUCAS, Thomas, May 1783:
Thomas Lucas of Orange County VA received a land grant #551 on 6 May 1783. This was for service in the VA 1st during the ARW. The survey of the land mentions "Russell Creek" as the only waterway. The KY Secretary of States Office site, from Gazetteer of Early Kentucky, shows that the only Russell Creek was in the Military District, Green, Adair, Russell County.
Thomas and his family appear in the Scott County KY tax records in 1810. Thomas died in Scott County in 1833. I can't find the Lucas family in Adair County. Could his land grant have been in Adair County and yet he settled in Scott County? Any assistance in locating Russell Creek in 1783 or land transfer, would be greatly appreciated. Trying to document Thomas as a Patriot for DAR. Thanks in advance, Charlotte Olson, canneolson@yahoo.com

I am trying to find birth records for George Morgan, born 1810 in Adair County, Kentucky. Specifically, I am looking for the names of his mother and father. My family history records (handwritten, I'm afraid) say he was born to Patrick Morgan, who in turn was born in Ireland and was the son of Lewis T. Morgan and Rachel Huffman. Patrick immigrated to the US and had a brother named Thomas, who (accordingly to this history record) was captured and raised by Indians until almost grown. Quite a history! I know George Morgan married Delila(h) Bishop in 1827 at the ripe old age of 16 (!!), and they had a son named Hiram Stillwell Morgan who married Amandi Fite and had a son named Jefferson Morris Morgan. All ancestry.com public family trees say George Morgan's father was Thomas (the brother of Patrick I am guessing) but obviously my family history disagrees, so I am trying to find the birth record for George Morgan. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!! Laurel Hayles, lhayles1960@yahoo.com

My connection to Adair Co and Russell Co Ky is thru Mary Jane Epperson and John Wolford. They were married in Russell Co in 1848 and moved to Texas ca 1855.

They were the parents of 3 daughters and 5 sons one of them being John
Jefferson Epperson born in 1823. They also had a daughter, Mary, who was born in 1820. Is this my Mary Jane? Does

I am still stuck at my great grandparents. I would love to find where they are buried, or birth and death info. I get close and then the door closes, but I link something else that may or may not be linked to me, I won't know if i am related to all these Walkup people until I can relate them to my great grandparents. so here is what I have so far. . . . . I am looking for any and all information on: Joesph Walkup (could be Joe Walkup) and his wife Dinela Ross. (This is how it is spelled on my grandfather's death certificate.) However, I have seen her name appear possibly: Dynelia, delila stell or steel, or steele,
Rerulia, and Drucelia.I think she may be from Alabama, all the sources with her name spelled different all say she is from Alabama. So I am not sure if her last name is Ross or Steel!? I think Joseph was married to Lusarah Cheek before he married Doneila....but also not sure. Would love to find a marriage certificate or bond to help tie this piece together. I
know they( joesph and Dinellia) had 8 or 9 children, 2 were girls and 2 of the boys I know for sure one is my grandfather John Baker Walkup, and Eugene Walkup. Those two are buried in Hiseville Cemetery in Barren Co. KY in a few of the Walkup Plots we have. (my great grand father)Joesph Walkup Born ABT: 1834 possibly living in Flat Rock, Metcalfe Co. KY, Adair Co., Barren Co. Hart Co. KY. ( my grandfather) John Baker Walkup B:sept 12 1892-D: feb 23 1963. Other Walkups:
(possibly a brother to John Baker Walkup) Joe Walkup B: Nov 24 1962 D: May 3 1962 Spouse: Maude Parker Walkup
B: June 20 1897 D: Mar 21 1974 (Buried at Parker Cemetery, Barren Co, Coral Hill, KY.) I went to their grave yesterday and took pictures. I have added them to www.findagrave.com. Eugene Walkup (brother of John Baker Walkup) B: june 1 1881 d.aug 7 1963 Spouse: Emma B:apr 12 1890 d.aug 22 1970. Buried: Hiseville Cemetery. I spent several hours in the Cultural Center in Glasgow KY searching records. Man, there are a lot of Walkups in KY or from KY to other areas. Each Walkup had at least or close to 10 kids. The spelling is horrible on the census so nothing is correct name wise, and one year they are there, 10 years from that the names are spelled different or they have vanished. Matthew Walkup comes up a lot in my research, and i'm pretty sure he was in either the revolutionary war or civil war. I have seen Methew J. Walkup U.S. Civil War Draft Registration. Class:1, Congressional district: 4 ,Age on July 01 1863: 36, place of birth KY. I know Joesph Huggert Walkup Married to Lusarah Cheek was in the American Revolution. I do not know how or if I am related to these guys yet. . . but that would be pretty awesome. :) I feel like everyone was named Joe, Joseph, joesph, or John way back when so it can be so confusing, plus no one could spell to make matters worse, and then they names their sons after themselves which makes it even more confusing down the road. No Joe JR or Joe SR. Any help or light that could be shed on this matter would be amazing. I am just stuck, been stuck since 2006 on my great grandparents and keep on getting dead ends. they vanish from the census, and have yet to see any form of death record. So I have no clue where they could be or are buried, and neither does my dad. He is 78 and I would love to crack this while I still have him around. I am sure they are buried in KY it seems they stayed all together for the most part esp. once they were older. They were all mostly farmers as well.
Hiseville, Barren County, Adair County, Metcalfe County, Hart County. are where I have been successful in finding any and all information. I have been to the library in Metcalfe County and the Cultural Center in Glasgow (which has records of Metcalfe, Hart, Barren, and Adair Co.) With some luck, but not the luck i need just yet. Where did my great grandparents go? Help please. :) Would love to be able to find some information on where my great grandparents are buried, and
who their parents were and if they were from Adair Co. Thanks so much. Amy Walkup Blandford, amyblandford@gmail.com

I am trying to find info on Oliver Bennett he was my gr.gr.grandfather. I have a Georgia census showing he was born in
Kentucky. I have heard he came from Harmony, Adair co. Kentucky. I cannot find anything from the Kentucky census because they don't list the names (before 1850) so therefore I cannot find anything about him. The only hints I can give is that he has two sons one born in 1869 and the other born in 1871 in Georgia. Their ages would put Oliver born in the general area of about 1820 to 1850. Hopefully someone may know something. Thank you, Deborah "Bennett" Allen, grouchmagoo50@yahoo.com

I am trying to find the father of Joseph Loveall b ca 1838 probably in Adair Co., KY. He moved to Sumner County TN prior to the 1860 census and joined the 7th TN Inf. He married Melinda Emmaline "Emily" West. I am trying to prove or disprove that his parents are Jesse and Malinda Loveall who moved to Adair county after their marriage. Later they moved back to TN and had James and Nancy Loveall. Jas was born ca 1857 in Sumner County. Joseph was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines, VA in April of 1862. Marched across the state to Fortress Monroe VA where he died of those wounds in Sept. of 1862. At some point shortly after Melinda remarried Mark Lawrence. When she died she and her son James were buried next to each other at the Bushes Chapel Co C cemetery. Sumner County, TN. There is a theory that Jonathan Loveall/Lovell of New England, PA and Pulaski County, KY., son of the Rev. Henry Loveall, was Joseph's grandfather but I have found no sure proof. If you have proof of this or have any other information on this line, please contact me. Would love to share info with you re this line. Thanks, Janet Loveall Eve, janeteve@ymail.com

Thank you for your assistance with this posting. Brenda Jody crjody@newwavecomm.net

I am trying to find information on a baby boy born in Adair Co. KY in 1874, possibly illegitimate. Fathers surname Wade, first name is unknown. Mother's maiden name was Dooley. This baby boy was my great
grandfather but no one in the family can ever recall hearing the father's name. If this is a true story we would like to know. The mother married and it was told that the baby has always gone by the step-fathers name.
If anyone has facts about this child please let me know. Anita Pike, anita.pike@gmail.com
