Benjamin Medcalf/Metcalf (1788/89 to 1857/58)

beckiinin — 2009-10-28 12:18:19Z

I have recently found the baptismal record for my great-great-grandmother, Martha Ann Medcalf. There was much mystery around the identity of her parents. I had never seen anyone list her parents before, but knew that she was born in Green Co, KY. She was baptized at Holy Name of Mary in Marion Co, KY. Her parents were Benjamin Metcalf and Catherine Carroll. Her sponsor was Rebecca Carroll (who was either Rebecca's mother or grandmother).

Now I am looking for more info on Benjamin Metcalf. There are two Benjamin Metcalfs that are listed in the death records of Grayson County which is where she came from when she married my gggrandpa. These two Benjamins were born a year apart and died 10 months apart. One lists his father as Joseph Metcalf. The other one says parents are unknown. The Benjamin who has a parent listed has the birthplace as unknown. The one who doesn't has Nelson Co. as the birthplace.

That was confusing.

I really do not know much about the Metcalfs. Can any of you help?

Marshall Hotel - Chaplin, Ky

hgpgenealogy — 2009-10-13 01:55:09Z

Looking for information on the Marshall families at Chaplin, Nelson County, Kentucky, c. 1850-1880. Specifically any information about Dr. Frank Marshall and his wife, Susan (anyone know her middle/maiden name?), and his relationship to Thomas Marshall, who was a local grocer, merchant, and hotelkeeper. Do their homes or the hotel still exist?

Rebecca Carnes Rowan estate, 1897, Nelson County, Kentucky

JeremyJohnson1984 — 2009-10-09 21:19:06Z

I stumbled upon this in the Nelson County courthouse this morning while researching my own ancestors. It is the inventory of the personal property belonging to the widow Rebecca Carnes Rowan (1813-1897) who lived at the old mansion, Federal Hill, near Bardstown, today known as "My Old Kentucky Home." I thought someone else might enjoy reading this. It is so intriguing to see items at such prices. I am sure many of these items are on display there today.

Re: Captain Thomas Tutt (1762-1804)

mromance_1 — 2009-09-20 22:28:19Z

I am the great, great granddaughter of Kate Cox Martin, daughter of Isaac Shelby Cox and Sarah Ann Tutt (William, Thomas, Reuben/William, William, Richard). I'm trying to prove Thomas Tutt's (1762-1804) parentage. I understand that most agree that his father was Reuben who married Sarah Covington, and that there is an US and International Marriage Record showing their marriage, but I have a recorded (albeit transcribed) deed that states that Sarah Covington was married to William Tutt. If anyone can give me a source showing exactly who Thomas's parents were, I would be most appreciative.

looking for Francis Fryrear JR. c.1832 (not Francis who m. Nancy Aubrey/Awbrey 1820). He christened 1836.

Marriage Lookup: William McAdams married Adria Nottingham in 1809.

Jesse_Stamper — 2009-09-15 00:09:33Z

Could someone please lookup the following marriage record for me please?

William MCADAMS married Adria "Ann" NOTTINGHAM on January 31, 1809 in Nelson Co., KY.

I need to know if Adria NOTTINGHAM's parents are listed in the marriage record, etc.?

I think Adria/Ann may have been a sister to Elizabeth "Eliza" NOTTINGHAM who married Samuel MCADAMS (William's brother) in Indiana in 1810. They are my ancestors. Eliza NOTTINGHAM'S marriage affidavit shows her mother's name as Elender NOTTINGHAM.

Re: Beech Grove Methodist Church

drvalsummers — 2009-08-31 20:51:29Z

The Kentucky Medical Journal of July 1937 has an article by Mrs. Joseph McCormack (not McCormick) relating the story of her (deceased) husband, who was the longtime secretary of the Kentucky State Board of Health. She says the Beech Grove Methodist church was erected by her father-in-law, Thomas McCormack (on his farm land, and John T Gaddie. Thomas McCormack also owned a general store on the property. He later moved to Kansas and Dr. and Mrs. Joseph McCormack moved to Bowling Green. I don't have an exact date, but it would have been before 1872. I am writing a biography of Josephn McCormack and would appreciate any information you find about the McCormack family in Nelson or Warren County.

OBIT Rev Thomas H. Gordon 1920-2009

Kandy_BackAgee — 2009-08-09 01:02:36Z

NOTE: I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS INDIVIDUAL. JUST POSTING THE OBITUARY ON THOMAS GORDON FROM THE DAYTON (OH) DAILY NEWS 5/10/09

The Rev. Thomas H. Gordon, Th.D. age 89, died May 8, 2009 at Hospice of Dayton. Widely known in Dayton, OH as the founding pastor of the First Baptist Church of Kettering and leader in Christianity, Bro. Gordon was survived by five children: three sons, Steve, Bill (Dena) and Roger (Christie), two daughters, Regina (Bob) Bennett and Susan (Ron) Jackson, his "boy" Josh, grandchildren, Bill and Sarah Bennett, Rebekah and Seth Jackson, Paul and Chris Hunt and numerous other relatives. He also is survived by one sister, Betty Wood Trent, of Louisville, KY. His wife Mary preceded him in death 10 years ago. His oldest son, Tommy, age 18 months, died in 1945. He was preceded in death by eight brothers, Bill, Purdom, Ray, Alvin, John, Dave, Dotson and Leon, and three sisters, Ruby, Mary and Gladys. Born February 13, 1920, in Nelson County, KY, Bro. Gordon was the son of the late Josh and Laura Gordon. He was the only one in his family to finish high school and college. He graduated from Campbellsville College and Baptist Bible Seminary in Binghamton, NY. Called to preach in 1946 and ordained as a pastor in 1949, Bro. Gordon served Little Union Baptist Church in Spencer County, KY and First Baptist Church of Liberty, KY, before founding First Baptist Church of Kettering (FBK) with the motto "in the heart of Kettering with Kettering at heart." He baptized 48 people in the creek during his first baptismal service and ended up with pneumonia, setting the precedent for a lifetime of fruitful, sacrificial ministry. Under his leadership, the church grew to a membership of 1,500 people, completed four building programs and sponsored three mission plants, which later organized into churches. An area religious broadcaster for more than two decades, Bro. Gordon also hosted a Sunday morning call-in radio show and broadcast church worship services. His fire-and-brimstone, pew-walking sermons, late-night visits until 1 or 2 a.m. and penchant for forgetting his wife at the grocery store while he witnessed to people became legendary in FBK history. Yet the congregation's affection for him and his for them remained the basis of his ministry. "I love my people, and they love me," Bro. Gordon would often say. He never stayed angry long, and he forgave easily. A humble, unpretentious man, he laughed often and would cooperate with any plan dreamed up by the church or youth group to promote the gospel. Bro. Gordon spent 26 years at the helm, of FBK before retiring under the mantle of Pastor Emeritus at age 62. He continued to serve many churches as interim pastor and preached many revivals following his retirement. An avid fisher of men, his passion was to preach the gospel and reach the lost. He characterized his greatest call to ministry, however, as caring for his ailing wife during the last seven years of her life. His children identify his greatest legacies to them as a fun-filled pastor's home characterized by laughter, water fights and wrestling matches, acceptance and understanding of the need to love unconditionally. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. at Charity Baptist Church (formerly First Baptist Church of Kettering, 1600 Brownleigh Road) May 12, 2009. Viewing will be from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with the Celebration of Life Service to follow. Interment will be in Woodland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Hospice of Dayton and First Baptist Church of Kettering building fund, 3939 Swigart Road. The family extends gratitude to Dr. Ljungren for his tender loving care and special thanks to Hospice of Dayton. Because "keep on keeping on" was his motto, Bro. Gordon led thousands to the Lord during his life, including someone on his front porch just a few weeks ago. His favorite verses were John 3:16 and Psalm 126:6: "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bring his sheaves with him." Without doubt, Bro. Gordon experienced a joyous homecoming with friends and family in heaven. Arrangements entrusted to the SWART FUNERAL HOME, West Carrollton, OH.

Re: Luckett's from Nelson/Marion County

djluckett — 2009-07-21 18:03:54Z

My grandfather was James Luckett from Lebanon Junction and he married Frances Stillwell from Boston KY. They had 16 children. My father was Joseph David Luckett born 1909 in Louisville and died April, 1960. I'm not sure if these are the same line of Lucketts but I bet they are.

Davidson and Holmes connection?

Sandymento — 2009-07-21 12:43:02Z

I'm tracking a line of DAVIDSON & HOLMES that marry. I've been in touch with a researcher of the Holmes line and while most of these lines move on to Bullitt Co. there is one birth he has in Nelson County:

Lucinda Holmes b. c1816 m. Troutman, Tolbert

Later on in 1838 her sister, Eliza R. Holmes marries #1 William JACOBS and then 1850 to #2 John DAVIDSON

I'm trying to narrow down the few DAVISON/DAVIDSON's out of Bullitt Co., KY ...there is a Marshall Davison (Nelson Co. m. 1833 Mary Aud Avis) ... I believe his father is Reuben. I'm looking to track further Davisons so if any of these names click, please get back to me. sandymento@comcast.net

Annie A. Jones Watts, wife of John Watts

Pat_Hartlage — 2009-07-08 00:06:56Z

Annie A. Watts, nee Jones, died at Samuels, Nelson County, Kentucky on 4 Oct 1920. She was buried at New Salem Baptist Church Cemetery. Her huband, John Watts, was the informant on her death certificate and listed her birth year as 1881. John gave her parents as Huston Jones and Mattie Pendergrass, both of whom were born in Deatsville, Kentucky. However, the Huston Jones who married Mattie Pendergraft was born in 1871 and he and Mattie married about 1892.

John and Annie are in the 1 Jun 1900 Nelson County census. They had been married 10 months. He was listed as born in Jan 1876 and she in Dec 1880. I did not find the family in the 1920 census, but I believe the John L. Watts in Nelson County in 1910, married to an Anna for 10 years, with five children, is the same family.

I'm trying to confirm Annie's parents. I suspect that she was a child of Samuel Huston Jones (1841-1928) and Eliza C. Jenkins Jones (1845-1925).

Anyone have this Watts family in their data?

RE: James Hyatt McGEE family photos, Kansas City MO.

Mabillion & Mary Ward McGEE [son of James Hyatt McGEE] adopted my great-grandmother [Josephine Angelo BROWN] then moved to Pasadena CA. I have the McGee family Civil War era photo album, including 17 McGee photos taken at the same time in the same studio!
However -- Only some of the photos are known, so I need other's photos to match to.
Once we have done all we can do with the album all the photos will be scanned and put on CDs for any family member that would like them. Cost will be for the CD/package and postage, as I'm not in the family history-for-sale-business. The album will be donated to the county historical society -- who already have an initial scan of the photos and are trying to ID them, with little luck.

If you have known/ID McGEE photos - please copy and send, and if you want to be put on the CD list send a note to my home e-mail: <4smokey@gmail.com> I hope to have this project completed by the end of the summer(?)

BTW - CSA President Jeff Davis & wife are also in
the album.

Elder Family - Farmers in Nelson Cty 1900-1930

LAHICKS — 2009-06-01 19:06:45Z

Trying to trace back the line of Clyde Thomas Elder, b 11/20/1913 in Bloomfield ... Father: Boone Vashdoff Elder,
Mother: Viola Vocook, siblings: Virgina, Everett, Cecil.
Boone's father was Thomas Elder found in Nelson Cty in 1900.
Thomas' wife was Luticia L; children were Boone, Evert K,
(looks like) Egnet, Orville and Telmar (1900 census).
Can anyone tell me more about this line ... where they came from before Nelson Cty ... or parents of Thomas? Thank you.

There was a Thomas DRake on the census for White co. Illinois in 1830 age 40-50yrs. I believe he may be the son of John Drake and Rebecca Heady born in 1786 who married Sally Stump in 1810 in Nelson co, KY. I'm trying to track down descendant to join the Drake DNA Surname project.

CharleyFWilcox — 2009-06-21 01:24:26Z

William Thralls:
It has been a long time since last corresponded with you about "old William Wilcocks". I have been able to trace his son Ezra to Indiana about 1825; he died there about 1827 according to his probate records.
Ezra and Sarah Friend Wilcocks/Willcox/wilcox had 6 sons; according to the probate (very sketchy records - realy just bits and pieces)- no mention of wife Sarah althought the 1820 Census of Hardinn Co., KY enumerates a 15-20 year female.
The most interesting piece of evidence is a S.A.R. Application #23911 by Thomas Francis Keleher. It gives Ezra's birth date as 1773 and 2 of Ezra's sons said on the 1880 Census that their father (Ezra) was born in New Jersey and their mother (Sarah Friend) was born in PA. My copy of the S.A. R. application has a deposition attached which was narrated by Amanda (Wilcox) Tansey (William's great grandaughter)
It is also interesting to note that Phoebe's Dower Surveys were made 20 & 27 September 1802 - Dower surveys were usually made after husband's death - so I think we can saftely say William died before Sept 1802.
I am sure you have corresponded with Wanda L. (Wilcox) McKay and am sorry to inform you that she passed away 8 May 2009.
Ray Barnes of Kansas has located a "Barnes Family Bible" which gives us a birthdate for Rachel.

Cameron, John & Archibald 1780s

helenbts1 — 2009-05-16 18:25:34Z

The "Biographical Encyclopedia of Kentuckky of the Dead and Living Men of the 19th Century" states that Rev. Archiballd Cameron was born in the Highlands of Scotland ca 1770, and was brought by his parents, John and Janet (McDonald) Cameron to America (Pennsylvania) when very young. settled in Nelson Co., KY near Bardstown in 1781. Collins, "History of Kentucky," states that Archibald was the youngest of 6 sons. Angus was one of them.

I believe that Robert, who died there ca 1805, was another but haven't found proof. Does anyone know the sons in this family?

I have seen on the Find a Grave Website several of my ancestors listed at the Mill Creek Cemetery (Baptist) Botland, Nelson Co. KY. Is Botland the same as Bardstown or is it a different place. I am a little confused. Do you know.
Thank you........JCI

Re: Mill Creek Cemetery 3 miles East of Bardstown, Nelson Co. KY

JoanneIkeda50 — 2009-05-04 18:29:14Z

Yes, indeed. I have tried to find out where the Mill Creek Cemetery is and I have been told that it is 3 miles East of Bardstown.
My Weller family it buried there: I am especially interested in the following that are buried in this cemetery:

4 George S. Weller s/o Daniel P. & Anna Margaret
5 Judith Hubbard/Weller wife of George S.
6 Polly (Mary) Ann Weller/Crume s/o of George S. w/o John M. Crume
7 John M. Crume h/o Polly Ann Weller
8 Possible George A. Crume s/o Polly & John
9 Possible Squire Crume s/o Polly & John
Or any Weller buried in this cemetery.
If you do find out where this is and if you find any information about any of the above it will be much appreciate. I do have a lot of history but I am mainly interested in where my ancestors are buried and hope to have some pictures of their gravestones, if possible.

Also there is a Lutheran Cemetery in or near Bardstown and I am interested in the following"
Conrad Mathais & Maria Mathis his wife. She was Maria Weller and daughter of Catherine Salome Ambrose/Weller.
Conrad's name I believe is spelled Conrod.
Also Conrad & Maria' son Conrod is buried at the Lutheran Cemetery.

I am interested in obtain pictures if you or if anyone you know are going to these two cemeteries and I will bear the expense.
If not I appreciate learning about especially the Mill Creek Cemetery and knowing about it.

I appreciate your response to my message very much….Stay in touch
Regards.......JCI

Shadburn & Price business Bardstown 1817; & Plat of Town Lots

nmbraggdolly — 2009-06-08 23:22:38Z

If someone has a history book or other reference that mentions "Shadburn & Price", a business in Bardstown in 1817, could you please share it with me?
Edward Price was the Price part of the business; he had also some connection with Pittsburg, KY. I thought there might be some old advertizing in the local history files or something.
I use the following for reference:
Robert Price died about 22 July 1817, Nelson, KY, Will Bk C Page 537:
""Appraisal of the personal estate of Robert Price, decd., by Wm. R. Hynes, Samuel Smiley, Samuel Carpenter & Joseph Lewis, 22 July 1817. Total: $8,981.88 which includes his 1/2 of the store of Shadburn & Price. John Price, adm. Mention is made of case in Price's pockets at Pittsburgh.""

I am also very interested in a plat map of town lots so I can use land records to locate the business lot in town.
Thank you to all helpers!

Hi, I found one of your postings on Miles Norris. If my information is correct, we share him as a grandfather. He is my great-great grandfather buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Bloomington Illinois. My great grandmother is Rena Norris Carroll, the daughter of Miles and Mary Elizabeth Tennelly.
My name is Sheilie Carroll-Altieri and I share the ancestry site with my best friend Evelyn. Maybe we can exchange information. I live in Heyworth IL, just outside of Bloomington. I can be reached at sheiliealtieri@ymail.com.

Stan,
My mother is from the Washer Line that settled in Macomb Co. Michigan. I'm use this summer to search this family.
I would love to have a copy of the will that you have. Please email it to me at heatherahomer@prodigy.net.

My greatgreatgrandfather was Doc Miles Washer born in Sussex Co., New Jersey. I'm trying to sort out the tree and see where he fits in. I believe his father to have been William P Washer and mother Lucinda ?.But I don't see where William P Washer comes from. They came to Michigan just after 1850, but I show Doc's older brother George here in Washington twp, Macomb Co, before that. George's wife was Isabelle Haggerty.Both Doc and George were harrness makers, and their father a shoemaker.

Still looking under ever branch,
darlene

Re: MRS. FRANK SHANE/ FORMERLY A HUFFMAN

bpederso — 2009-07-02 00:35:36Z

Do you have copies of these?
"Peter Huffman, with his family of five children and wife, came to Monroe Township, Clark Co. IN in 1811. He had other children who were married and had homes of their own, one of whom was the wife of Mr. Henry Collins. They were both killed in the Pigeon Roost massacre. They settled on Silver Creek near Henryville, where he commenced a life of a pioneer in the woods. In the March of 1813, a group of Shawnee Indians possibly the same ones that were at Pigeon Roost, concealed themselves behind the bank of Silver Creek and shot Peter Huffman who at that moment came to his door to look for two of his grandsons who were playing in the barn below the house. With the same ball that Mr. Huffman was killed Mrs. Huffman was wounded in the breast, the ball lodging in the shoulder-blade. The old gentleman was killed instantly in what is known as the Huffman defeat. (I have this ball now). The Indians took one of the children into captivity and kept him for a number of years.

History of The Ohio Falls Cities and Their Counties
Vol. 2, 1882"

BIOGRAPHY of PETER HUFFMAN:

Mr. Peter Huffman, with his family of five children and wife came to Monroe township, Clark county, Indiana in 1811. He, however, had other children who were married and had homes of their own, one of whom as the wife of Mr. Henry Collins. They (Mr. and Mrs. Collins) were both killed in the Pigeon Roost Massacre.
Mr. Huffman settled on Silver Creek, Monroe township, Clark county, Indiana, where he commenced the life of a pioneer in the woods. In March 1813, he was killed in what is known as the Huffman defeat. With the same ball that Mr. Huffman was killed, Mrs. Huffman was wounded in the breast, the ball lodging in the shoulder blade.
His sons settled in Jackson county, Andrew J. Huffman is a grandson of this famous Indian hunter. He was born in 1819; was married in 1841, on the day of General Harrison's inauguration; to Miss Eliza McComb of Monroe township, born in 1823.

How are you related? I descend from the Andrew J. Huffman above.

I really have almost nothing to share because I don't know much about my Huffman connections.

Re: MRS. FRANK SHANE/ FORMERLY A HUFFMAN

alkatib — 2009-07-09 16:10:09Z

According to the information I have, the accuracy of which I cannot vouch for until you get to my great-grandparents, I am descended from Peter Huffman through:

Benjamin Huffman (1778-1860), wife's name Mary (1787-1860)

Jonathan Huffman (1805-1873), m. Eva Avery (1808-1848)

Harriette Huffman (1840-1892), m. G. W. D. Snider (1837-1921). These are my great-grandparents.

Re: MRS. FRANK SHANE/ FORMERLY A HUFFMAN

alkatib — 2009-07-09 23:11:19Z

That's about all the information I have, so it would be pretty much a one-way street unless you want information for G.W.D. and Harriette Huffman Snider on down.
