Hi Stephanie, First I would like to say thank you very much for sharing this information with all of us. This is my direct line of Faires' and I would be very interested in knowing the name of the researcher if I could. George Broach and Mary Faires were my GG Grandparents. As far as I know they did not divorce as the Hickman County Kentucky 1850 census shows George and Mary Broach and their family, one of which was my Great Grandmother Ellen (Elie) Price Broach age 2. Best Wishes, Sharon Jones Vega Stephanie F Harrington (by way of Wanda Rabb) wrote: > Hi! > Since there has been so much traffic on the York Co lines, I thought I > would send some info given to me years ago.
