Hope someone on the list can furnish additional info on the above families. I understand that my 3rd great gfather, Matthew Busby, married Sarah "Sally" Drake Winfrey in Adair Co, KY on Aug 7, 1821. I'm told that Sarah was the d/o Joel Drake and the widow of Elisha T. Winfrey. Elisha and Sarah had 2 daughters, Caroline and Nancy Winfrey and after Elisha's death, one or both became wards of Matthew. I'm trying to figure out who was in Matthew's household on the 1820, 1830 and 1840 Adair Co, KY census records. I need answers to the following questions: 1. When was Sarah "Sally" Drake born? All I have is ca 1796 somewhere in VA. Were there any other children, beside Caroline and Nancy, born to Elisha and Sarah? Caroline and Nancy married Green Jones and Philip Jones. I need birth dates for Caroline and Nancy. 2. When and where did Sarah "Sally" die, or did she and Matthew divorce? Anyone know dates or locations? I show a son, William D. Busby, born ca 1821-22 that could have been either the son of Matthew's first wife, Seluda Tinsley, or Sarah. The initial "D" causes me to wonder if it could stand for DRAKE? Seluda seemed to have favored the initial "T" for her children; probably for TINSLEY. I also have a blank spot on the 1830 Adair census for a 0-4 male. Until I learn where Sarah was in 1830, I won't be able to know if this was a son of Matthew and Sarah or Matthew and 3rd wife, Mary "Polly" Fair. I don't have a date for Matthew's marriage to Mary "Polly" Fair. 3. Does anyone have any record of where Caroline and Nancy were living in 1820 and 1830? I show Caroline married in 1831 and Nancy in 1841. 4. I believe that Matthew and Sarah may also have had a daughter born to them Oct 15, 1825. Her name was Permelia/Pamelia Busby. She is listed with Matthew's other children on his 1850 land deeds as the widow of James Fitzpatrick. On the 1850 Adair Co census, she was living in the household of William Jackson Drake and wife, Nancy T. Busby. If she was the d/o Matthew and Sarah, she would be a half sister to Nancy T. Busby Drake. Permelia married Joseph Evans Winfrey in 1853, Carroll Co, MO and died Oct 10, 1858. She and Joseph had at least one child, Nancy P. Winfrey, born 1854 in Carroll Co. Permelia is buried in Carey Cemetery. Again, until I can find out when and where Sarah "Sally" either died or was divorced, I can't be sure if Permelia/Pamelia was Sarah's or if she was the child of Matthew and Mary "Polly" Fair. Sure hope someone can help me with this as I've been "stuck" for a long time. Paula
