Greetings All, In going over some newly found information on the ATWELL, JEWELL, NUNN, and BASTIN family lines in South Central Kentucky, and additionally spending some time just re-looking at the 1840 US Census for Barren Co, KY and THINKING, I now recognize additional family connections and names! The Elizabeth Jewell listed on the 1840 US Census for Barren Co, KY is evidently Elizabeth (Hiser) Jewell, the widow of Robert Jewell. Elizabeth (Hiser) Jewell 1 male 5 and under 10 Years 1 male 15 and under 20 Years 1 female under 5 2 females 10 and under 15 1 female 40 and under 50 She is listed one household away from John BASTIN, son of Thomas and Hannah Bastin of Caswell Co, NC, and brother of Thomas Bastin Jr. Relatives of Thomas listed nearby (on the same page of the census, actually) include Wm. H. Nunn, John Johnson, Richard Atwell, James Jewell, Ann W. Carver, Major B. Bastin, Thomas Bastin, Jr., and James Robertson. John Bastin was a son of Thomas and Hannah Bastin of Caswell Co, NC. He and his second wife, Margaret Keath, who he had recently married in 1837, would move to Monroe Co, IN within just a couple of years of this census. Wm. H. Nunn was the husband of Hannah Bastin, daughter of Thomas Bastin, Jr and Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. After Hannah's death (which was probably around 26 Dec 1844 - Jan 1845, perhaps while giving birth to Lucinda Katherine Nunn), he would marry Catherine Piper on 22 Dec 1845. His name appears in the descendant table listed below. John Johnson was the husband of Margaret 'Peggy' Bastin, daughter of Thomas Bastin, Jr and Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. Richard Atwell was the husband of Martha B. 'Patsy' Bastin, daughter of Thomas Bastin, Jr and Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. Richard Atwell and Martha were first cousins. Richard Atwell's parents were John 'Jack' Atwell, Jr. and ???. John 'Jack' Atwell, Jr. was a brother of Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. James Jewell was the son of Elizabeth Jewell, and the husband of Margaret A. 'Peggy' Atwell, daughter of John 'Jack' Atwell, Jr. and ??? ???. John 'Jack' Atwell, Jr. was a brother of Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. Ann W. Carver was the widow of Benjamin Flutcher Carver. She was Ann Wayson 'Nancy' (Bastin) Carver, daughter of Thomas Bastin, Jr and Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. Major Brockman Bastin was a son of Thomas Bastin Jr and Mary W. (Atwell) Bastin. He and his wife Sarah Jane (Pointer) would move to Miami Co, KS in a few years. Thomas Bastin was Thomas Bastin Jr, son of Thomas and Hannah Bastin of Caswell Co, NC. James Robertson was the first husband of Milly Bastin. Milly was a sister to both Thomas Bastin Jr and John Bastin! It now appears that John, Thomas, and Milly may have come together to east Barren Co, KY. Both John and his family and Milly and her family would move to Indiana within a short time after this census. John evidently moved in about 1841-1842 to Monroe County, IN. Milly and her husband, James Robertson, may have also moved at the same time as John and his family. (Can anyone provide any information on this branch of the family? James Robertson obviously died after 1840. Yet, I know that Milly was also married to William Ables within another 10 years or so. When did James Robertson die, and where? What part of Indiana did Milly move to; was it Orange County, IN?) On the census is listed, under James Robertson 1 male of 15 and under 20 years (probably a son, but, perhaps a grandson?) 1 male of 60 and under 70 1 female of 60 and under 70 The more I study this one page of the census, the more it makes 'sense', or should that be 'census' :-) It seems that almost all of the families were related! (Note: The '5th' number on a date below refers to the footnote number. For example, 18344 actually means 1834, footnote 4, for example.)
