Just found the Mary which I was finally able to add the last name Gore from here. After that I was able to find the census information.

Who were the other wives?

Re: Oglesby/Levy County

lynnda_too — 2009-10-26 14:42:13Z

James D Prevatt I

his parents
Peter I Prevatt b 1718 Manakintown,Virginia d 1767
New Bern,North Carolina m Elizabeth b 1715
m 1738 in Manakintown,Virginia

Pierre Prevott b 1673 Guines, Pas-De-Calais, France
d 1740 Manakintown,Albemarel Co. Va.

Pierre Prevatt was a French Huguenot. He embarked on the Peter & Anthony in 1699 from London. He arrived in Jamestown. A bachelor comrade, Jean-Pierre Bondurant (Cedarsong's husband's ancestor), stayed with him in Manakin-town *, a town of bark houses abandoned by the Monacan Indians on the James River outside what is now Richmond. He managed to find a wife in Indian territory (name unknown).

* An early French Huguenot settlement

Pierre Prevol found on passenger list

I find my information from people like you and I on the internet. After a point there are no census or birth records readily available, then the kindness and dedication of strangers who are kin is there for us.

1. Caroline - quite a bit of info on her - very interesting her family did find quite a bit on her.
2. John J married 3 times.
3. Nancy not much on her except married a Hopkins.
4. Sarah Ellen m John J. Hill
5. Lewis m Olevia Fleming - my husband's line ( through Thomas Joseph then Lewis then Thomas Charles Oglesby - my husband) They liked Thomas Joseph and Lewis in Oglesby family.
6. George S.H.I. (wish I knew what intials stood for) married Rebecca Dees.
7. Miriam L. m Aaron Dees - not other info
8. M. M. b abt 1854 ?????
9. D.S. J. b abt 1857 ????

That is what I have too, but I didn't have the info about legal action. WOW - where did you find that? That is so cool. That was quite a while before he died.

I would love the info on the Prevatt's.

Yes, I would love it keep in touch. Hard to find people doing research for Oglesby's in Levy Co. Have you seen the Levy Co history magazines that were put out?

Also, have a website for that area of Florida that very few people use. Have a few pic's on there. I'll send you an invite.

Somewhere I have lost the correct place to post this. Someone had said that Frances J Oglesby had a James William and an Elizabeth Gore from NC as grand parents. I think that is correct. Here are some of the things I found posted that may be helpful

In 1860 census:

In 1870 they are still in Levy County, Florida but in Levyville outside of
Cedar Key.

William *G* Gore, age 57, farmer
Elizabeth, age 56
Elizabeth, age 17
James, age 13

"Polly" is the nickname for Mary

Living next to them according to this same census page is:

Charles I is buried in Cedar Key Cemetery in Cedar Key, Levy County, Florida he was vorn in 1884

Frances is buried at Shiloh Cemetery Cedar Key, Levy County, Florida

I asked my husbands oldest sister about Charley and she had never heard of him. She too thought he may have passed away as a child.
I have online at roots web some infromation that you may not have.

Elizabeth Osceola Smith

7 Sep 1921 died

I have her married to a Carter. All I have on him is just the last name. She may have married more than once.

My husbands line is Charles Lee Ingram his grandfather
and Glennie Dora Darlington his grandmother, who married.

The family will be so interested to know that we have someone else looking into family ties too. Hope we can keep in touch. lynnda

Re: Oglesby/Levy County

DStephensOglesby — 2009-10-24 20:10:35Z

Everyone I have emailed has the same info - so think it is right. They were in Florida pretty early. I think Elihu even died in Levy Co. but no proof.

I have him with 9 children per census and decendant records.

Caroline b abt 1795 who married William Yearty.
Lewis b 1800
Elija b 1803
James b 1806
Hariet b 1808
Joseph S. b abt 1811
then
female 1815-1820
male 1825-1830
male 1825 - 1830

I have James D. Prevatt's father as James D. Prevatt but that is as far back as I have fone on that side.

Joseph's son Lewis married Olevia R. "Jane" Fleming and she is buried at the Ellzey cemetery near Otter Creek, Levy Co., FL. She has been described as a short stout woman and believed a daugther in law was a witch and caused problems with the burial of her daughter. I can't find out anything about her children except for the youngest three - quite aggravating. I guess they all died young.

Hi:

Not too many Oglesby researching in Levy Co. They have been hard to find details on too. I spent some time at the court house but still didn't get too much.

See if I have this right:

Harriet Oglesby b 1808 dau of Elihu married George William Smith and had Elizabeth Osceola before 1840 not sure of date.

I have Elizabeth Osceola married to James Belon Hudson. Is that right?

Re: Oglesby/Levy County

lynnda_too — 2009-10-24 19:15:55Z

You have the same parents and grandparents for Frances that I have. These were based on public records in research done by my sister in law and neice. Elihu Oglesby name shows up on census records and he was the father that I show for Joseph, Johns father. All the locations match with our family know locations as do the other grandparents James Prevatt and Nancy Elizabeth Knight.

Re: Sidney Kemp of Cedar Key, FL

Dor2Tyme — 2009-08-04 19:10:05Z

I would like to also compare information with the person giving you other information.

As far as Sidney Kemp. I am thinking his name was CAMP not KEMP. My reasoning is there is a marriage record for J W Odum and Mrs. Mary Camp in Levy County Sunday, November 04, 1906 .
There is a marriage record in Levy for Sidney L Camp and Mary Gore, 5 March 1891.

I am trying to determine which daughter of John P and Emma is Mary. The date of birth you give for her is throwing me off.
This is indeed my husband's line I am researching.
John P and Emma Richburg Gore had a daughter named Marietta but according to the census data she was born in 1872. She is not listed in the 1870 (As she should have been if she was born 1868) census but she is listed as a 12 year old in the 1885 census.

Re: Sidney Kemp of Cedar Key, FL

Dor2Tyme — 2009-08-04 13:17:31Z

I am trying to get this straight in my head. Did Sidney Kemp and Mary Gore have the five kids or Mary Gore Kemp and Odum?
Was it after Kemp or Odum's death that they kids were put in the children's home?
If Kemp's death, were the five children left with him when Mary married the Odum?
Do you have marriage or divorce records for any of them?

What are the children's names?
I will go back though my records and see if I can see anything that might give some clues.

I wonder if the place she moved could have been Buena Vista in Orange county. There were several Gore families and their relatives in Orange County.

Re: Sidney Kemp of Cedar Key, FL

Dor2Tyme — 2009-08-04 12:48:56Z

Have you gotten a death certificate for Sidney Kemp?
It is in Volume 9 certificate number 1340. That might give you some clues. They are only five dollars.Do you know his place of burial?

Re: Sidney Kemp of Cedar Key, FL

Dor2Tyme — 2009-08-01 19:06:52Z

Do you have more information on this Sidney Kemp?
I saw one in the Hernando, Florida 1900 census born 1858, listed as a widow with children Mariam - 7, Williametta - 3, Aler = 10 months

Do you have your Sidney and Mary in a census?

Re: Oglesby/Levy County

lynnda_too — 2009-10-24 18:57:51Z

Her names was Verily. Think that Charley was Smiths son born to Frances. I heard my mother in law say Aunt Verily and Aunt Polly but never Uncle Charley. However he may have died young. If he had been Verily child and lived long the name would have come up in the family conversation.

Re: Oglesby/Levy County

lynnda_too — 2009-10-24 18:46:45Z

Joseph Darlington and Frances J Oglesby were my husbands GGGrandparents. They had 3 daughters. Joseph Darlingtons father was named Charles. I have a Charley Darlington age 6 in the 1910 census. I do not know the date that Joseph died. After Frances and her 2nd husband passed the children were raised by some Smiths.

Re: OGLESBY/LEVY COUNTY

lynnda_too — 2009-10-24 18:21:02Z

My husband has two lines of Oglesby. All in Levy Cty.
Frances J Oglesby married Joseph Darlington. They were his
great grand parents. Then he has Francis Agnes Carter married to William Francis Ingram his great grand parents. She was Elizabeth Osceola Smith daughter who was Harriet
Oglesby daughter. Both lines lead back to Elihu Oglesby 1777 where I ran into that old brick wall. I have everything that I have at rootsweb. I have run into brick walls with the Darlington and Ingram lines too.
After Frances and her husbands died, the children were taken in by some Smiths. Which was the last name of I think her 2nd husband. Frances Osceola was a Smith not sure if there is any connection to Frances J or not. Real small place was Ceder Keys. My husbands mom was born there.

Hello - I looked on Find A Grave to see if my g-grandfather was listed in Cedar key cemetery - he died in 1905 - Sidney Kemp. But what I read here on this board, is there were other cemetaries close by so he may have been buried there...I searched online at the Levy County site (genweb) and no luck there.....any suggestions? thank you!

Thank you for your hard work! I have a question - my great-grandfather (Sidney Kemp) supposedly died in 1905 in Cedar Key, fl which is in Levy County but I guess that doesn't mean he was buried there. I looked at the K index and didn't see any KEMPS but that could be that he wasn't buried there or maybe Cedar key has it's own cemetery? Thank you

Re: Levy Co. USGEN website update

judielynn14 — 2009-07-31 19:58:48Z

I am looking for info on Sidney Kemp, died 1905 in Cedar Key, FL - he was married to a "Mary" - they had 5 children, the first born in 1896 so they probably married around that time also...not sure if they married in Levy county but for sure know Sidney died there. Thank you!

I'm researching Sidney Kemp, wife Mary, possible father’s name Daniel? I was told there were references to the family in chapter 17. If you could tell me what information is listed there for these or any of the KEMPS, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

I'm researching Sidney Kemp, wife Mary, possible father’s name Daniel? Sidney died in 1905 in Cedar Key, FL and their children (incl my great-grandmother) were sent to Children's Home Society. I am trying to find Sidney's info (his family) and if anyone knows anything about Mary. Would you be able to help me or find any info related? Thank you

found new info while looking thru some of my things - before my granny died in 2005, (Sidney's grandaughter / Susie's daughter) she told me a couple of things and I wrote it down. Susie was with someone by the name GORE when Susie and Wilbur divorced (Sidney's daughter) - I later found out her mother's name was GORE so I assumed this person was a relative - my granny told me susie later married this GORE (back in the day I guess marrying cousins was not unheard of...if he was a cousin). My granny swore that Susie died around 1940 or 41 and she died in the state hospital Chatahoochee which I think is in Suanee county (?) - Susie's middle name was Mae per my granny, although the other info I had lists her middle initial as 'J'. if ANY OF THIS rings a bell with anyone I would appreciate hearing - I would like to know what happened to Susie...Thank you!

Re: looking for SUSIE or SUSAN Kemp/Davis/Patterson last lived in Levy Co 1923

I have since found out Gore was her mother's maiden name so the GORE that was listed was a relative more than likely...

Re: looking for SUSIE or SUSAN Kemp/Davis/Patterson last lived in Levy Co 1923

judielynn14 — 2009-08-03 12:28:41Z

I have reason to believe Susan's mother's maiden name was GORE - her father was Sidney Kemp and mother's name was Mary. They lived in Levy County, Sidney died in 1905 and Mary remarried someone by the last name of Odum. There are marriage records and death records that someone looked up for me that shows Mary's maiden name was GORE. Any info on that line would be appreciated! I found out Sidney was born in the Bahamas but nothing on Mary - thank you!!

No I got as far as my great-grandmother and the info I have for her I got from the children's home society. They list her father as Sidney Kemp who died, old and feeble (their words) and wife Mary, who remarried someone (last name?) Odum and moved to 'Vista', FL so the children were placed in the care of Children's Home Society. That is all I know on Sidney and wife Mary

Re: Sidney Kemp of Cedar Key, FL

judielynn14 — 2009-08-04 13:44:44Z

yes Sidney and Mary had five hcildren. I don't know about Mary and Jw Odum (someone yesterday gave me info on him - they are listed in the 1930 census) It was after Kemps death and either at the time or right before Mary's remarriage, did the children go to the home (I have that documented) - I do not have marriage or divorce records for Sidney or Mary.
Susan (my g-grandmother)
Emma
Rebecca
Elizabeth
Willie
Thru the info that was given to me yesterday, they had her listed in POLK co in 1930 and died in LEVY Co....I also was given the info that Mary's parents were John and and Emma Richburg. Thank you

According the index I have for Levy County Cemeteries the name Sydney Kemp is not in there. Now that does not mean that he is not buried in Cedar Key, it just means that he may no longer have a headstone. Also keep in mind on Find A Grave those cemeteries are usually not complete. I have several notes that my mother and I have done and all of Lindon Linseys books on the cemeteries of Levy County. I am researching several families here in Levy County. I wish you luck on your search.
