I have not used Cyndi's List in years, but sometimes we need to consider new *road maps*. On Cyndi's List I found that ancestry.com has some lists of Kentucky tax lists of at least 1800. (I don't find Ancestry.com is so easy to navigate. If I put in a surname I come up with some newish records. It's those colonial southerners I am mostly seeking!!! Found some Oldhams of Madison Co. on the tax lists of circa 1800. Overton Harris (d. testate 1827, Madison Co. KY) married Nancy Oldham, dau. of Richard Ready-Money Oldham [to differentiate him from his uncle of the same name, later found in Estill co. KY. Richard of Estill got a Rev. War pension as did his namesake nephew] R/M's widow the former Patsy Reid, dau of Alexander Reid, (second wife) went to Missouri as a widow and that may account for a lot of Oldhams in Missouri. She was mother of most of R/M's children. *First wife of R/M Oldham wasUrsley Duke Williams, the widow of Reuben Peoples, was the mother of my Nancy Oldham, wife of Overton Harris of Madison Co., KY. Oldham-Peoples marriage took place in Caswell Co. NC shortly before the trek to Madison Co., KY. (They lived in the Otter Creek area of Madison Co.) These Oldhams came from Caswell Co. NC but Jesse the elder had been involved from time to time with Col. Richard Henderson, if we can believe some of the tales in the Draper Manuscripts [old handwriting hard to read) Some Universities as well as the Family History Library have the multiple films--again, hard to read!!! But I found a few letters written by my ancestor George Washington Stoner--about ten years apart. Also by his nephew who reportedly was killed by the Union forces during the Civil War. (Jackson Purchase country of KY) These Oldhams of Madison Co. MAY have been related to the Northern Neck Virginia Oldhams of early Northern Neck Virginia, but that is hard to prove. Those Oldhams in early Jefferson Co., KY came directly from Virginia to Kentucky, while my bunch deviated to North Carolina after the French and Indian War. See Lloyd D. Bockstruck's book named Virginia's Colonial Soldiers for Jesse's enlistment. (How did he get to North Carolina? And to marry one of the ten daughters of Richard Simpson and wife Mary Kincheloe, formerly of Fairfax Co.,VA?) John Ashby, Jesse's commanding officer, later settled in Fauquier Co. but it had not yet been formed in 1755. Always a new mystery to solve!!! E. W.Wallace E.W.Wallace
