I'm Sorry lindabibles, I found your family in Connecticut 1910, 1920, and 1930 when your Lester Perkins was 19 years of age. Perhaps they are still there.
The subject of this Green County, Kentucky thread is the Obituary of Lester Perkins, b. 1898 in Green County and died there in 1982. His parents, b. in KY. George Perkins & Lucy Gupton.. He married Nell Biggs, all according to the Obituary that began this thread. As you can see by other postings, there may have been dozens of Lester Perkins' spread all over this land. I was only interested in the one from Green County.

Must be a different Joshua Lee - as far as I can tell mine remained and died in Green Co. KY ca 1846, but he did have a son Joshua Lee Jr. I have not yet found much on Joshua Jr. Thanks.

Re: Family history

53531ujx — 2009-09-23 15:54:36Z

I have yet to confirm Joshua Lee's middle name although I believe he used a middle initial of "B". Also, I think his first wife was Margaret Ward and second wife Elizabeth Smith. I found a deed record (26 Oct 1818, Green Co. KY) in which he and his wife, Elizabeth, gave a 100 acre tract of land on Green River to his daughter, Sabret J. and her husband Samuel Phillips.

Re: Family history

53531ujx — 2009-09-23 05:43:00Z

I have a bit of info on Joshua Lee of Green Co., KY as he was my 4th ggrandfather. His daughter, Sabret J. Lee married Samuel Phillips (my 3rd ggrandfather) in 1808. I am currently researching the Phillips & Lee lines so I would be interested in sharing information. Thanks.

Karen: Thanks for the birthdate of Voral Elmer Bishop. However I don't believe Voral and Elmer L. are the same person.
I have Voral's rank as PFC, service #: 35810755, death date 8 Jan. 1945, attached to: 314th Inf. Regt., 79th Inf. Div. and although they are buried at the same cemetery Voral is Plot B Row 29 Grave 32.

This is very interesting. My g-g grandfather was Bartlett Eastland Campbell. My great grandfather was Samuel Dee Campbell, born in Campbellsville in 1880. His Mother was Harriet Roselthea Elder. Would like to know more about this family. Trying to figure out how the name "Barlett Eastland" was used again.

I'm not an Ancestry subscriber, so I cannot contact you though your profile.

My Joshua was married to a Margaret, last name unknown. He then marries a woman named Zeritha in Texas. Joshua and Margaret were in Illinois and then in Texas from what I have been able to piece together. I have lots of documented evidence from Texas and some from Illinois.

Re: Kinney and update

trailseekJPS — 2009-09-25 18:48:33Z

Since this post about a Larue County George Washington Sidebottom and reference to a parent named William Sidebottom, Is there any researcher that has a George Washington Sidebottom born in year 1822 KY that married Elizabeth (Betsy) McGinnis.

This G. W. Sidebottom born 1822 is reported as a s/o JOSEPH Sidebottom b: 16 APR 1793 - d: Abt JAN 1855 MO. This Joseph Sidebottom aka SYDEBOTHOM is son of REV. WAR JOHN SIDEBOTTOM / SYDEBOTHOM of Clarke County, KY.

Since BUSH is also mentioned in the original post, researchers should note that back in Clarke Co., KY is this historical data;
John Sydebothom / Sidebottom, Birth: 11 DEC 1750 in Prince William Co., VA ; Death: 28 APR 1823 in Clark Co., KY ;He fought in battles at New York Island, White Plains, Brandywine and Germantown. Carried James Monroe from the battlefield at Trenton. Moved to Kentucky after the war was over.He owned 1,000 acres of land located on the waters of Dry Fork of Upper Howard's Creek and is on the present Ruckerville Road in Clark Co., KY, about 3 miles southeast of Winchester, KY. His will inventory, 299-5, 290-5, 1,000 acres of land. In 1823 he willed 175 acres each to wife Jane, James C., Peter, Franklin, William, and 125 acres to Polly.On May 8, 1819, applied for pension in Clark Co., KY..

Joined the Old Providence Church on Lower Howards Creek about 7 miles south of Winchester in Clark Co., KY in the year 1797. The church was built by pioneers who came to Kentucky in 1785. The name was changed from Howard's Creek Church to Old Providence Church in 1790. The Fort of Boonesborough is about 2 miles south of this old church. Daniel Boone also attended: Squire, Jr., Samuel and Mary Boone were baptized there. WILLIAM BUSH, a member of Boone's second Kentucky expedition, built the present stone structure of native limestone. The United Baptists formed here in 1801 and the building was passed to the Negro Baptists in 1870. It was restored after slight fire damage in 1949

Who is the William Sidebottom and Jane (Jenney) True parents listed as parents of Larue County G. W. Sidebottom ???
