Re: Enos McDonald

jnmcda0 — 2009-10-29 21:17:16Z

Like Darlene said, the Bourbon County court house has a lot of records. Enos McDaniel/McDonald's property was located right on the Bourbon and Harrison county line. His house stood very near where the Reed Valley Orchard is now located off Townsend Valley Road on Lail Ln. Unfortunely, the house burned around 1991. The woman who owns the orchard told me that a local juvenile delinquent intentionally set the fire because he was angry at the woman who owned the property.

I have a sketch of the house that was drawn by a distant relative who visited the property about a year before it burned. If you click my username, you can see the sketch in the pictures I've uploaded (it's the picture titled "McDaniel Station").

You also might want to visit the Silas Baptist Church. I know Robert McDaniel was a member there, as well as an Enos McDaniel (I would presume that it was a grandson of the first Enos McDaniel that came to Kentucky, as this Enos left the church after the first Enos had already died). I'm not sure if they would have any info besides the church register, but it might be worth looking into.

Hi - the name McDonald rang a bell with me, one of my Barnetts married one in DeWitt Co., Illinois. The Barnetts were also from Bourbon Co.
The Bourbon Co. site has a lot of information, I found a McDonald mentioned in the following article:

I hope this helps you.

Re: Enos McDonald

ddewitt111 — 2009-10-28 13:28:46Z

I have been to Bourbon County and done research. Go to the Bourbon County Courthouse, Paris, KY. I wish I had been there a week or more. This courthouse has tons of records and the clerks there are very helpful. You can go to the original records and research as many as you want for as long as you want. Also the Bourbon County Genealogical Society is very helpful. Ada Soberg is the editor of the newsletter. Their website is www.rootsweb.com, go to kybcgs/
Also located in Paris is the John Fox Genealogical Library. Tons of information and the people there are very helpful. While there, you might want to go to the Cain Ridge Presbyterian church. The original church is housed in a modern enclosure to preserve it. There are a lot of graves there. I know my Malcom and Angelica Wood are buried there, but it is not known where in the cemetery.

Good luck on your research.

Wish I were going with you.

Thank you so much. I want to go to Bourbon Co, Ky to do some research on the McDaniel family. Have you been there? If so, any recommendations?

The other names I am researching are: Petro, Rich, Campbell and Black.

Re: Enos McDonald

jnmcda0 — 2009-10-27 21:31:46Z

I've heard that Robert McDaniel (son of Enos McDaniel, who moved to Bourbon County, KY) moved to Rush County, but I don't know anything of his family. Also, the family of Francis McDaniel (Robert's brother) moved to Indianapolis (where they changed the name to MacDaniel). I know of at least one of the MacDaniel family that lives in Connersville, IN, which is very near Rush County.

Re: Enos McDonald

hahnsy — 2009-10-27 20:13:10Z

Did any members of the families in your query move to Rush Co, Indiana?

I have John Williams b.1755 in N.J., enlisted in Md. for the Rev. War, married "Molly" Chappel in Prince William Va. Their children were Elizabeth, Mary, Jesse C., John, Ann, Jane, Page, George and Polly.
Did your William serve in the Rev. War?
There was a William Williams family in the same area of n. Ky.as John and Molly-perhaps brothers or other family.

One of my Millers married an Isabelle Eraminta Shumate, in 1855. She is beieved to be the daughter of Peyton Shumate and Mary Adair. I do not have any dates for her.
Peyton Shumate was b ca 1788, possibly VA, married Mary Adar in Augusta Co VA in 1808, and died in Nicholas Co KY in 1820, from what I've been told. I have no proof of any of that.

Re: Ambrose Cummins, Bourbon Co. Chairmaker

clifda — 2009-08-27 21:27:29Z

I have nothing on Ambrose, but I will put in my 2 cents worth. I am a descendant of Baldwin Clifton a brother of Howson Clifton. Howson married a Nancy Brashear a dau of William Brashear and a step-daughter of Peter Cummins. William Brashear also had a son Joseph who was brought from Brownsville, Pa when he was 10 yrs landing at the Falls of the Ohio. Joseph married Elizabeth Cummins in Washington Co on Apr 12, 1796.

HI,
I wonder if you might see if you can find the Name Peter Fisher in your book. He came to Bourbon County around 1818-19 and died by 1830. His family still resided there and I have information about his wife Mary and daughter Jane. They had a house in North Middletown by 1835, before that I think they lived somewhere along Hinkson Creek, but don't know if they owned property. Would appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Re: Deeds in Bourbon Prior to 1799

CarolynJohnson531 — 2009-08-09 19:25:45Z

I doubt any connection. My Johnson left KY prior to 1841 as I can document my husband's granfather as born in Mo April 1841.
I thik the family originated in VA; but then I see KY was originally part of VA. All I have is a name ABEL Johnson and approximate date of birth 1799/1800. Don't know the name of his wife or other children other than possibly William H. Johnson who lived off and on in Paris, KY and married twice: Anna BISHOP 1845 and Salina Johnson 1872. By these 2 women, he sired 22 children...surely there are decendents.
Keep looking!

Are there any Johnson names on the list? My husband's great great grandfather lived in Bourbon Co, KY prior to going to Missouri around 1840. We think his first name was Abel. He may have had a son named William H. Johnson who lived in Bourbon Co off and on. Married twice while there in the 1840's
Thanks

Re: Have Book will do look ups

CarolynJohnson531 — 2009-08-09 02:49:45Z

What Johnson does your book contain? I am trying to locate my husband's family. We believe his great great grandfather was Able Johnson who was born c: 1800 in Bourbon County Ky. We do not know anything more about him other than he moved to Missouri prior to 1841.
Another person of interest is William H. Johnson who was born Jan 4, 1826 in Bourbon County, KY, moved to Missouri in 1839, back to Bourbon County in 1845 and married Anna Bishop who died in 1872. He then married Salina Johnson. Don't know much other than this.
Any help you can offer is appreciated

Re: Attorney, Colburn Brown in 1798

bjsglowworm — 2009-09-22 18:59:07Z

My William Brown was born about 1773. William married Elizabeth Hornbeck and they had a son Joseph born in 1823 in KY. Joseph married Mary Ann Hardister in Randolph Co., MO.

We are not sure how long our William was in Bourbon Co., KY at least long enough to give Colburn Brown power to sell his land inherited from his father in what is now West VA.

We are also not sure if there was a family connection between this Colburn Brown and our William. He is not William's father, who was killed in 1774 in an Indian raid. This land is a land grant given to his mother at the time of, his father's [Coleman Brown] death. This spelling for William's father's name is used in historical records of the raid.

If we know more about the Bourbon Co., KY Brown family we might be able to learn more about if our William's father is connected.

Even after a Brown cousin participated in Brown DNA we do not know William's ancestors because my cousin has no Brown matches.

Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.
