I've always been curious about the Edrington connection and now I think I may have an answer, or part of one (hope it's the correct one!). I'm thinking that the James W. and Susanna Edrington in Sonoma county are perhaps my James W. and Marietta (Oman) Sacry's uncle or cousin. My James and Marietta were married in Sonoma, were there in the 1860 census, and left there for mine fields of Ophir, Utah in 1870. They left Utah in 1877 for Virginia City, MT. There was a James W. Sacry as a Baptist minister in Sonoma...this never seemed to line up with me because the family my James married into, the Oman's, were very LDS and the Montana Sacry's have been LDS ever since. I just always "assumed" he changed his religion when he married... Then, just this past week, as I've been working with census on Heritage Quest, I discovered for the 1820 Kentucky census there were only two Sacry: a George (whom I believe is my James W.'s father) in Lexington, Fayette county (where my James says he was born in 1834); and a ... yup... James W. in Greensburg, Green county, KY! ~ This has got me to wondering...the 1810 Kentucky census lists two: James (Franklin county) and George (Fayette county). For 1830 Ancestry lists only two: Frances (I'm wondering if this is George's wife/widow? Frances is a family name in my family) in Fayette; and James in Gallatin. By 1840 census, according to Ancestry: still only two, but different names: Isaac in Franklin and Robert also in Franklin. I found nothing in either Ancestry or HQ for the 1850 census (they perhaps mispelled it!) but in 1860: a George M age 38 and a James age 26 both in Sonoma (this is my James cuz Marietta is with him); a Bush age 27 in Franklin county, KY; and a James! age 62 and a John age 35 in Ray county, MO (which is where my James left Kentucky for at age 17 in the early 1850's)....confusing or what? Does any of this make any sense with what you have? I'd be very interested in sharing information, especially regarding the early Sacry's in Kentucky (and I suspect, Virginia). Thanks for replying! Hope this doesn't overwhelm... Rita
