Re: Seeking Lost Lewis Ancestor

donnie4653 — 2013-04-25 14:55:09Z

Kentucky Marriage Index lists a marriage between David Lewis and Martha Howard 5 Jul 1890 in neighboring Clay County Kentucky. I think this probably David Lewis born about 1873 listed in 1880 census in Clay County in the household of Addison Lewis age 35 and Isabella Lewis age 32. Addison Lewis is also listed in the 1860 census in Clay County in the household of David Lewis age 65 born in Virginia and Lucinda Lewis 55 born in Tenn. Although there are other David Lewis's living in Clay and Leslie Counties, they are much older or still alive after 1900. Unfortunately Ancestry's online version of the actual Clay County marriage pages (which would give age at marriage) us missing the period 1878 to 1904. I do not know whether this means that the originals are missing or were just missing from this site.

I have a couple pictures of Polly Howard/Minaird/Pennington York and Maude Howard. I can email them to you if you like. I am the great grand daughter of Polly. Also a cousin on my Pennington side sent me a copy of her marriage bond to John L Pennington my great grandfather. her parents are listed on there as Isaac and Martha and 2 siblings also on the marriage bond.

Re: Isaac Howard

louannm4419 — 2013-04-12 13:49:33Z

Her parents are Isaac and Martha Howard her sister was Maude Howard I have a picture of her and 2 other siblings were the witnesses for her union with John L Pennington. She was also married to bud York and Johnny Miniard. Isaac Miniard used to live in Hazard after he and his wife got very ill he moved to Vandalia Ohio with his son Roger and he lived there until his passing.

Re: Isaac Howard

txhoward1 — 2013-04-12 04:53:09Z

Your great grandmother was a different Polly Howard than the one discussed earlier. It looks like your great grandmother Polly was born about 1895, while the Polly Howard in this list was born in 1868. Do you know who your great grandmother Howard's parents were?

Re: Shelly Hall & Minnie North- MAJOR CORRECTION!

joycecollins — 2013-02-26 00:03:11Z

Hello,

In re-reading the information I have given to you, I am NOW having some major doubts about it.

First, I made an error when I said that Dwelling 160-109 for the 1900 Leslie Co. This should read that it is the 1920 Fed. Census.

But. . . and this is where I now have doubts. As of 1920, this Shelly HALL is listed as an 8 yrs old child. Well, that cannot be since he married , according to the Index in 1920. Just too darn young. And, according to the marriage record his mother was a Martha NANTZ vs. a Fannie CALDWELL. I do see there was a Shelby HALL who married in 1929 to a Ozella BOWLING. Will check that one out.

Now I can see that the Shelly with James HALL and Fannie is actually the Shelby HAlL who marries in 1929. Age makes sense and parents match. SEE marriage record below:

Husband: Shelby Hall
Husband Age: 18
Condition: single
Husband POB: Leslie County, Kentucky
Husband Residence: War Branch, Kentucky
Parents of Husband: James Hall and Fannie Hall
Occupation of Husband: Farmer
Date of License: 18 June 1929
Wife: Ozella Bowling
Wife Age: 16
Condition: single
Wife POB: Leslie County, Kentucky
Wife Residence: War Branch, Kentucky
Parents of Wife: Bill Bowling and Betty Bowling
By whom Married: I. G. Brock a minister of the Church of God
Place of Marriage: War Branch, Kentucky
Date: 22 June 1929
Witnesses: Nancy Bowling and Fannie Brock
Remarks:
Marriage Book 20, page 70

I really now don't know who the heck Shelly HALL's parents were that married Minnie NORTH. SORRY!!!!

Witness: Mina Smith and Rosa Smith
Remarks:
Marriage Book 12, page 96

NOTE:"Something" is way wrong here with this 1920 marriage date. On the 1920 census, Wheeler is not in Leslie Co. and Myrtle NORTH, age 11 is a servant in the WILSON household #161-56. Minnie NOrTH, age 13 is a servant in a HOSKINS household at dweling 161-86.

When you go back to the 1910 census, the whole family appears intact:

Dwelling 139-153 - Bad Creek
NORTH, Wheeler, 29, head, mar. 1, mar. 6 yrs, b. KY; parents b. KY
. .Martha, 32, wife, "married 2nd time", mar. 6 yrs, 8 born; 2 living, b. KY; parents b. KY
. .Minnie, 5, dau, b. KY
. . Myrtle, 4, dau, b. KY

In the 1900 Wheeler NORTH is not present in Leslie Co., KY.
However, as of the 1900 Leslie Co., KY, this appears to be
Shelly HALL with his family:

1900 - Bad Creek
160-109
HALL, James, 38, head, b. KY; parents b. KY
. .Fanny, 33, wife, b. KY; parents b. KY

I am doing some research for my sister-in-law, Kris. Wiley Baker was her Grandfather. I have a newspaper clipping that I found in the San Francisco Tribune dated April 5, 1923. The headline reads "Siberian Bride Seeks Divorce". I also have some documents that Kris sent me that are all in Russian. She is hoping that they will shed some light on the "truth" surrounding Zineida/Zeneida like her real date of birth and maybe her parents. I am taking them to work with me on Monday to have them translated by a co-worker who is from Russia.

Wiley Baker born about 1892 in Kentucky

pamgow — 2012-10-12 18:43:18Z

I am looking for any information on a Wiley Baker. Information I have from the 1920 census (Military Schedule, Philippines) indicate that he was born about 1892 in Kentucky. His wife was Zinaida A Baker from Siberia, Vladivostok Russia.

I have a passport application for Zinaida Baker, born Tomsk, Siberia, Russia dated January 1, 1920 which states that she was united in marriage to Wiley Baker on October 1, 1919 at the Siberian Naval Barracks Church in Vladivostok and that she was born on October 23, 1904. Her place of residency in the US is that of her Husband Wiley and is listed as Shoal, Kentucky. Application is so that she can accompany her husband, a cpl, Co "H" of the 31st infantry, AEF, Siberia.

Rumor has it that she married only to escape Russia and that after returning to the US, she accompanied her husband to California and divorced him not long after arriving in San Francisco. They had one child, Patricia Lillian born October 20, 1920.

Would like to know who Wiley's parents were and any siblings and if he remarried after his divorce from Zinaida or if he was married prior to Zinaida.

Zinaida was only 15/16 at the time of her marriage to Wiley. (Her birth date keeps changing depending on what records you are looking at or which family members you ask).

Wiley Baker died on August 16, 1937 and he is buried in the San Francisco National Cemetery. Funeral records list him as Corporal Wiley Baker, Company H, 31st infantry. He is buried in Plot D 818.

Elizabeth Bowling was my gggrandmother. I have a copy of her marriage record when she married David Gibson in Leslie County KY on February 19, 1895. John Sizemore signed as surety for David Gibson and Elder James Manning Finley performed the marriage. I have more info I will share to you specifically if you email me at: stellap@austin.rr.com
