My GGrandfather was John Cornelius who apparently appeared out of thin air. I am also looking for info on My GGrandmother as she came with him. Here is what I have on them: John b - 1835 Kentucky? age 73 at death d - May 12, 1908 (a Baptist Minister presided at the funeral) m - Mary Lair - Buried at Shelbyville Grove Hill Cemetery Mary Lair b - Madison County Kentucky? Date? d - possibly Jan 13, 1904 Buried in Grove Hill? Believe so as the graves are near each other. They had 2 Sons William H. b - 15 August 1869 Madison County Kentucky and Richard - No info on him. There was possibly a third child. At the time of his death he was residing at the Lawson Farm in Shelbyville. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Is Mary Lair related to John Lair, who was associated with Renfro Valley near Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle County, Kentucky?
