I am interested in information about Higginson Peddicord, s/o Jasper Peddicord and Rebecca Belt, and 2/w Elizabeth Bozorth, d/o Jonathan Bozorth and Mary Hargis, who were married 18 Apr 1802 in Hardin Co, KY by Ignatius Pigman.

They were the parents of Cassandra (b. 15 Jun 1803; m. Lewis Riley); Carlton (b. ca 1805; m. 2 Feb 1830 to Elizabeth Kelly / she m.2 Jeremiah W. Bozorth in 1838); Lloyd Bell (b. ca 1807; m. 13 Nov 1832 Malinda May); Margaret; b. ca 1810; Jasper (b. ca 1813; m. Mary W. Field); Jonathan Bozorth (b. 27 Mar 1815; m. 24 Aug 1836 to Minerva Barnes); Mary Ann (b. ca 1825; m. 20 Mar 1840); and Caleb Jeremiah (b. 6 May 1826; m. Gemima E. Brown by 1850).

Higginson Peddicord and 1/w had a son named Joseph who lived with the Pigman family. Does anyone know the name of this wife and her parents?

Thank you for your help in this matter

I have Elizabeth Kelly in my family tree. She was the daughter of George Kelly and Jane Field. I noticed you are researching Kelly's and Field's. Can yo tell me more about Elizabeth's parents?
Thanks!

Hello Colleen Carlson,

There is still a lot of work to be done on Carlton Peddicord and his ancestors. Carlton, s/o Higginson Peddicord and Elizabeth Bozorth / Bozarth, was born between 1804 - 1810, probably in Hardin Co, KY. Elizabeth Bozarth / Bozorth was the d/o Jonathan Bozorth and Mary Hargis of Grayson Co, KY. Carlton married Elizabeth Kelly, d/o George T. Kelly and Jane Field, 2 Feb 1830 in Daviess Co, KY, but no marriage was returned. They were the parents of William B. Peddicord, born ca 1834/5 in Daviess Co, KY

Carlton Peddicord died in 1834 in Daviess Co, KY. His will was quailified there 11 Aug 1834 with wife Elizabeth (Kelly) Peddicord and William Hansford as Administrators. Sureties were H(igginson) Peddicord and Warner Crow. When Carlton and Elizabeth's son William B. Peddicord was about four or five, Elizabeth (Kelly) Peddicord married 2/h Jeremiah Washington Bozarth / Bozorth, on 12 Dec 1838 in Ohio Co, KY. Jeremiah a.k.a. Wash / Washington was the s/o Jeremiah Bozorth and 2/w Sarah Grieves and the gs/o Jonathan Bozarth and Mary Hargis.

An intriguing tidbit---
Daviess County Court Order Book D (1837-1846)
Page 473 - 11 Nov 1844 - Ordered that Lewis Riley be and he is hereby appointed Guardian of the person & estate of William Peddicord, infant orphan of Carlton Peddicord, decd, and thereupon the said Lewis Riley with Martin C. Riley, his security, executed & acknowledged bond to the Commonwealth in the penal sum of $400 conditioned agreeably to law.

Page 478 - 11 Nov 1844. On the motion of Mrs. Bozarth, it is ordered that the order made herein today appointing Lewis Riley Guardian of her son William Peddicord, be and the same is hereby rescinded, and that Peter S. Anderson be and he is hereby appointed in the room of said Lewis Riley, Guardian of the person & Estate of Wm. Peddicord, infant orphan of Carlton Peddicord, dec'd, and thereupon the said Peter Anderson with John G. McFarland and Daniel Murphy his security, executed & acknowledged bond to the Commonwealth in the penal sum of $400, conditioned agreeably to law.

The question is: Why would Lewis Riley attempt to take guardianship of his ca ten year old nephew by marriage and control the estate William received from his father Carlton when William B.'s mother was still living. The order was immediately rescinded and another guardian selected. There's probably more to this story than is known at this time. I'm sure curious.

Lewis Riley (1798-1861) was husband of Carlton Peddicord's oldest sister Cassandra Peddicord, b. 15 Jun 1803. Lewis and Cassandra were married 12 Aug 1819 in Daviess Co, KY.

Carlton and Cassandra's brother Jasper Peddicord m. ca 1835 to Mary W. Field, d/o Benjamin Field. How are they related to Jane Field?

Jeremiah W. Bozarth was shown in the 1850 Census of Grayson County with Elizabeth and her son William B. Peddicord, then age 15. Jeremiah became a lawyer and eventually judge at Leitchfield. After Elizabeth (Kelly) Peddicord - Bozorth's death on 20 Dec 1875 near Leitchfield, KY, Jeremiah m/2. Mrs. Nancy A. Long on 16 Dec 1879.

I would be most interested if you have further information about the children of Higginson Peddicord and Elizabeth Bozorth or about the preceding court actions.

I have further information on the Bozarths / Bozorths if you are interested.

Hope this is what you needed.

Hi VirJean,
I was wondering if you have anymore information concerning the Field family mentioned in your previous post. I have been searching for what seems like forever trying to tie Jane Field into the Field families that lived in or around Daviess County. She married George Kelly 2/17/1803 in Culpeper VA, but I have also seen Chesterfield County listed also, but I have not found any record.
Jane and George Kelly were the parents of Elizabeth Kelly Bozarth. As to the Daniel Murphy listed in the guardian dispute, he was Elizabeth Kelly's brother-in-law. He was married to Harriett Kelly. I have tried in vain to search for his ancestors also, and have had nothing but brick walls.
If you have any more tidbits to share I would be most grateful.
Thanks!
Colleen

Do you remember what history book this came from?

"Higginson Peddicord and 1/w had a son named Joseph who lived with the Pigman family."

Thanks,
