Was hoping maybe some one out there might have information on My grgrandfather Harvey Forsen or Forsen Harvey Rooks or his family. I have little to go on only that he is originally from KY and spent many years in OK. He was born around 1887 and by 1809 ended up in Blanchard OK where he married my grgrandmother Vina Gay Lillie Green. I know it is a reach that any of you may know of him but reaches sometimes pan out. Thank you all for your help. Elizabeth

Hi List, I am looking for any information on Meeker's from Kentucky. I have a Daniel D. Meeker born abt. 1800 in Kentucky but I have no idea where. All Kentucky Meeker info is welcome. Thanks.

JOHNSON GRAVES IN TRIGG COUNTY, KENTUCKY by [email protected] My husband and I found a graveyard that needed some grooming, located in southern Trigg County, Kentucky near a community known as Linton. From Cadiz, Kentucky, drive south toward Tennessee on Highway 139, also known as South Road, then west on Highway 164 until you come to a gravel road called the Old Dover Road, where you should turn left. About one mile up this road you will see another gravel road going up a steep hill and this goes to the graveyard. The four graves we found were in good condition for their age. The names and dates are: Nancy C. JOHNSON DOB 20 June 1850, DOD 31 October 1931 Truman M. JOHNSON 1881-1960 Leroy JOHNSON Vol. Mounted Inf., Civil War 15 October 1840, 7 July 1923 Ida Ann JOHNSON 27 December 1871, 3 December 1896 I hope this helps someone. I would be willing to make pictures of these if someone needs them. * * * * *

My 4-great aunt, Roberta Vice (daughter of Enoch & Elizabeth Tucker Vice), married John F. Fletcher in Bath Co., Kentucky on August 23, 1828. Roberta Vice Fletcher died not long afterwards (exact date of death not known or located) & John F. Fletcher married second to Margaret McIlhenny in Bath Co., Kentucky on July 22, 1832. John F. Fletcher died sometime between 1850-1855. John F. & Roberta Vice Fletcher had one child, Thomas J. Fletcher. This Thomas J. Fletcher married Mildred (maiden name unknown). This son, Thomas J. Fletcher (and his wife, Mildred) was an heir of my 3-great grandmother, Elizabeth Tucker Vice, who died in 1853. Seeking the following information: 1 = Any information about Thomas J. Fletcher (son of John F. & Roberta Vice Fletcher) and his wife, Mildred. Also, any information on descendants. It is not known to me where Thomas J. & Mildred Fletcher lived. 2 = Parents of John F. Fletcher (who married Roberta Vice & Margaret McIlhenny in Bath Co., Kentucky). 3 = Any exact dates of birth or death on any of the persons I have mentioned above (that is, John F. Fletcher, Roberta Vice Fletcher, Margaret McIlhenny Fletcher, Thomas J. & Mildred Fletcher). Any help or information will be most greatly appreciated. Will also be glad to share whatever information I have. Thanking all very much in advance. John Vice

I'm searching for any information about Thomas BALDWIN b. ca1770 MD {probably Anne Arundel Co.} m. Christian WEBSTER b. ?.......they were married 23 Jul 1790 in Prince Georges Co.MD. Thomas BALDWIN's family lived in Anne Arundel Co.MD {James BALDWIN b. ca1750 A.A.Co.MD & Sarah RAWLINGS b. ca1749 A.A.Co.MD.}...... So far I have no family information on Christian WEBSTER. I have a gap between 1790-1810 census on this line.....I know that Thomas BALDWIN was living in Nelson Co.KY and was on the census there 1810-1820.....at this point there is some question as to whether Christian might have died and Thomas remarried possibly to a Margaret Sparr? Thomas's children migrated to Owen Co.IN, but records would show that Thomas most likely did not make that move, and I can find no proof of his death either in Nelson Co.KY. or Owen Co.IN. There is some speculation that his wife was still alive at this time and could have been living with their son {James} as found on the 1830 Owen Co.IN census, but I have found no proof of her death either, but an older female was not listed living with any of the children after that 1830 census. Any information on this line would be very welcome, will share what information I have on any of the people mentioned above. Thanks so much, N.J.Skinner White in MI.
