    3. I think a holler is a bit smaller than a valley, and -- in my mind at least -- a valley is usually associated with a river. Interesting question.

    3. Anne Marie, A "holler" is country venacular for a "hollow". So many folks settled between mountains and hills for protection against the elements and well as against indians etc. These depressions between the hills were called "Hollers".

    1. [KY] BATTLE OF BLUE LICKS on TV tonight
    2. Bill Davis
    3. Kentucky Educational Television's show, KENTUCKY LIFE will tonight contain a segment about the Battle of Blue Licks in 1782. This is the information from KET's website http://www.ket.org/kentuckylife/ : Revolutionary Real Estate For generations it was known as “the last battle of the Revolutionary War.” And from the American perspective, it was a disaster. In just a few minutes on the afternoon of August 19, 1782, British troops and their Wyandot allies killed almost 70 Kentucky militiamen—nearly 40% of the American force—and captured several others. Among the dead were such leading Kentuckians of the time as Lexington co-founder John Todd and land commissioner Col. Stephen Trigg (both of whom now have Kentucky counties named for them). The Blue Licks battle followed a British raid on Bryan’s Station, just north of Lexington, on August 15. The station was well defended, and the British pulled out and began a retreat north. A hastily assembled group of about 180 militiamen set off in pursuit, catching up with the Redcoats at a ford of the Licking River in what is now southern Robertson County. Daniel Boone, in command of one troop, counseled caution because he feared that the British and Wyandots would be waiting in the easily defended ravines up ahead. Others, knowing that reinforcements were on their way, also wanted to wait before attacking. But legend has it that an impatient major charged the river, and the battle was on. As Boone had feared, British riflemen concealed in the ravines easily cut down the onrushing Americans—including Boone’s son Israel. By the time the reinforcements did arrive five days later, all they could do was bury the bodies. Because of the British involvement, the Battle of Blue Licks is considered one of the last battles of the Revolutionary War. In fact, it is one of those tragic ironies of history that it actually took place some time after the Revolution itself had ended—word simply hadn’t reached the frontier yet. But in the larger scheme of things, Blue Licks was also just one in the series of bloody raids, skirmishes, and all-out battles that raged for years between white settlers and the native tribes whose territory they had entered. That war would continue for several more years.

    2. Nelda Percival
    3. I hope YOU ALL WILL EMAIL ...I HOPE NO ONE GETS MAD I AM SENDING THIS>>> Forwarded with permission....THIS BILL IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US!! List administrators, The failure of this bill will cost us so much research documents, that I felt that I must send this out to the lists. Please if you have members living in MONTANA ASK THEM TO READ THE BILL AND SEND THIER COMMENTS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE, STATE CONGRESSMAN OR REPRESENTIVE, THank you Nelda YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL FIND OUT SOME OF YOUR RELATIVES WENT TO MONTANA and due to the loss of records have now dissapeared!!! From: "Patricia Marchington" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> CC: <[email protected]> Subject: URGENT--SB 443 has a TIE VOTE OF 9 TO 9 !! Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 07:32:18 -0700 TO THE SUPPORTERS OF SB 443 ! The House of Representatives have just told us that they have not heard much from Montana people in their own DISTRICTS. AND mostly from Livingston here...as the only MONTANA people.... HOWEVER, they have heard from all over the STATES (LOTS FROM ALASKA) and around the WORLD (AUSTRALIA, FRANCE, ENGLAND, CANADA...). Especially the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES on this STATE ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE, feel that "playing POLITICS" and squaring off Democrats against Republicans is the way to go with SB 443, (they had a bad long drawn out fight the day before on a different BILL)! And this Committee thinks nit-picking on every little point is being responsible.........SIMPLE SOLUTIONS are not something they understand!! Yes, there has been 4 Amendments to SB 443!!! HOWEVER, SB 443 is still: "AN ACT REQUIRING THAT LOCAL PUBLIC RECORDS BE OFFERED TO CERTAIN ENTITIES AND TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC BEFORE BEING DESTROYED! The Amendments basically state how the NOTICE will be given.........SINCE THE COURTHOUSE CLERKS CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH HAVING TO GIVE TOO MUCH NOTICE TO PUBLIC (PRIVATE CITIZENS), after all!! SB 443 is still under DEADLINE.....we may have until Monday (I am still checking on this....since everyone tells me a different date!!). I am leaving for Helena in a few minutes......if I have to talk with all of these other 9 NO VOTERS......AND ALL OF THE REMAINING 100 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY MYSELF I WILL ! I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT IF THIS BILL DIES.... THAT MONTANA'S OLD RECORDS DESERVE TO HAVE THE SAME FATE !! Especially since the Legislature will not meet again for 2 YEARS ! Marien Stolzenburg & I give permission to fax or scan our LETTERS TO THE EDITORS from Wed. 3/21/01 Billings Gazette Paper to any other paper in Montana........or anyone else could write their own to any paper in MT. Sen. Butcher the sponsor of SB 443 says, "Use polite persuasion to the NO VOTERS" on this State Administration Committee..... The NO Voters are: Debby Barrett--Dillon Dee Brown--Hungry Horse Larry Lehmen--Power Ralph Lenhart--Glendive Gay Ann Masolo--Townsend Doug Mood--Seeley Lake Alan Olson--Roundup Rick Ripley--Wolf Creek Clarice Schrumpf--Billings All of these members have heard from the Park County Genealogy Soc. in fact we have written to a lot of the 100 Rep.......so they think that since we are so small we can be ignored!!! The out-of-staters have been begging me to let them help, as have the out of Country Genealogists.........but the Legislators will only listen to Montana people! I have known this from the start. What is sad is that these out-of-staters and out of country Genealogists, really think of themselves as MONTANA people, because some still have family here while others use to live here and still others have very deep MT HISTORY in their FAMILY ROOTS. THEY JUST WANT TO PROTECT THE MONTANA OLD RECORDS... SB 443 WOULD BE THE FIRST LAW TO ESTABLISH A RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TO PRESERVE ALL OF OUR MONTANA HERITAGE, UNIVERSALLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF MONTANA!! I have just been told, that in some Montana Counties where they have micro-filmed some......they threw out the OLD RECORDS BOOKS, BUT, the film was the cheapest the County would buy, so the films are so faded that they can't be read! And since it was the Clerks that were doing the filming, they got tired of taking the books apart to be filmed.....so what was filmed was only parts of a page, the bindings had been too big to lay anywhere close to flat! Some of the Counties this happened in were in Rep. Olson's DISTRICT (see above list of No Voters)....whereby these same CLERKs have been calling him to Vote NO!!! e-mail the House of Representatives TODAY !! http://leg.state.mt.us/leg_msg.htm SB 443 IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF DR. & PROFESSOR TOOLE OF THE UNIV. OF MONTANA--MISSOULA. He was The Historian of Montana History & champion to the Preservation of Montana's past through not only artifacts, but also it's WRITTEN HISTORY ! Please Support SB 443. Patricia Marchington, with MT Roots going back to 1878.

    1. [KY] JENKINS/KENTUCKY TO IOWA
    2. Decatur County Journal Iowa January 22, l89l MRS. RACHEL JENKINS, who died at 9:20 a.m. on Saturday morning, January l7, l89l, at the residence of her daughter, MRS. W.E. GAMMON, was born in Clark County, Kentucky, Sept. 20th, l802, being 88 years, 3 months and 27 days old at the time of her death. May 30, l822, she was married to HENRY JENKINS, who was her companion for more than 68 years, until his death on the l4th of last September. She was the mother of ten children but of whom only three survive her, one daughter and two sons.  She had been a member of the Baptist Church for 55 years or more, but on account of age and feebleness had not been able to attend her church services for a number of years. Her last sickness continued nearly a year, she being confined to her bed most of the time and for the last three weeks suffering severely, but through all her years of affliction she has borne her sufferings very patiently, often expressing a desire and readiness to close her life here and be at rest. A devoted wife, a loving mother, a kind and affectionate grandmother, has fallen asleep after a long life of usefulness, and will be greatly missed in the family circle.  Funeral services were held at the home, attended by a large number of friends, after which she was laid away in the Eden Cemetery. Since to die is as natural as to be born, there should be no fear of death, and this loving one was cheerfully resigned to depart.               Gone! gone! Dead and gone!                To the home of joy on high;               The battle's fought and won;                Lay the faithful armor by.               Dearest mother, fare thee well;               Thou the happy number swell.               Where no parting tear is shed,               Where no heart has ever bled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert

    1. [KY] Surname Mohler
    2. Lee Ann Earle
    3. Hi, I am trying to find John D. Mohler and family prior to the 1850 census. John D. Mohler married Martha Burton 5 Nov. 1841 in Rockingham Co. John D. had several children born in NC. He and his family left NC in 1849, and arrived in Calloway Ky in time to be included in the 1850 census there. I have searched several years of census records in Rockingham Co., and surrounding counties with no luck. I haven't even found any other Mohlers in NC.......just Millers and Moores. The only other Mohler information in NC that I have found is a marriage bond for Samuel B. Mohler in 1821 Rockingham Co. If anyone has any suggestions on where or how to search from here....I am open to ideas. If anyone should happen to connect with John D. Mohler, or even Samuel B. Mohler please let me know. Thanks So Much, Lee Ann Researching: MOHLER,DEATON,HESTER,RIDENHOWER
