Hello, Connie and I have been trying to figure out the parentage of Benjamin Ajax RICE, son of unknown Wilson and Lydia Sa(u)nders.

Is there anyone that is related or connected to any Maxwell's on the list? I have a William Maxwell who was born in 1800 in Kentucky (probably near Louisville) and married to Harriett Dolson who was born in New York in 1803. They married in Clark County, Illinois in 1823 and were living in Vermilion county, Illinois during the 1850 census. One source shows his father as John Maxwell who is shown as being born in Alexandria, Campbell Co, Kentucky about 1775. At least one of William's daughters, Jane was born in Vermilion county in 1842 and later married George Misner and moved to Sterling, Kansas. William & Harriett had another daughter named Mary who was born in 1838 and a son Thomas born in 1844. I live in Asia, and so have no access to any library resources. I've been at a standstill on these two for quite some time. I found a Susan Maxwell in a Quaker obituary for Sterling Kansas in 1898, who I think might be a relative. She was born in 1841. Any leads or advice would be much appreciated. Frank Cullison ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

The subject of this sketch was born March 1, 1848, in Natchitoches, Texas, and is son of Samuel Flournoy, originally from near Lexington, Kentucky, and at one time owner of a large plantation and a number of slaves. Samuel Flournoy organized a company in 1846 and went with Samuel Houston to the Mexican war. The subject of our sketch, D. H. Flournoy, was educated at a private school until the age of sixteen, when he joined the Confederacy, serving under Colonel Crump until the close of the war. On his return home he worked in the cattle business until 1871, when he married Miss Anna Wilson, daughter of Captain John Wilson, of Wood County, Texas. After this Mr. Flournoy engaged in farming in Wood County until 1884, and then returned to the Indian Territory, locating on Grand River, and there remained for five years farming. In 1885 he removed to Tahlequah, the capital, and engaged in the hotel business, which he continued until his removal to Chelsea, in January 1891, where he has followed the same business until the present. By his marriage Mr. Flournoy has six children, five of whom are living and are named respectively: Ellen M., born August 9, 1872 Lella J., born April 15, 1874 Roligh D., born July 15, 1876 Walter G., born February 2, 1882 Clara May, born September 2, 1884.

Many thanks to Annette Peebles who's taken a submission from Darilee Bednar and formatted it access by our KY Researchers. Entitled "Soldiers of the Great War", it's a listing of all KY Soldiers that fell during World War I. Besides a listing of names (broken down by county, if known), there are also photos of some of the soldiers. You can find the project at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ky/military/wwi Be sure to also checkout the "unknown county" soldiers and let us know if you can identify the county for any of these. Thanks, Annette, for your interest in making this available for all of us.

My gg grandfather was John Matthews (b. btwn 1810-16, probably in Hopkins County, Kentucky, d. abt 1846 probably in Hopkins County, KY). He was married to Mary Ann McKinney (b. abt 1816, prob. in Hopkins County, KY, d. aft. 1870, probably in Illinois or Missouri) on June 4, 1835 in Hopkins County, KY. I have been unable to find John Matthews's father or mother. I recently found an unattributed notation on the internet that lists John Matthews (b. 1816 in KY, d. 1846) and lists his father as James Matthews (b. 1789 in Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky) and his mother as Elizabeth Strawther (b. 1790 in Virginia). The listing says James and Elizabeth married in 1814 in Kentucky. All this information meshes well with my gg grandfather except that I have never seen any referrence to his mother before. I have, however, found some referrence to a James Matthews that lead me to believe he could be his father. I have spent quite a bit of time but cannot find any more information to help clarify this. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance. Scott Matthews dsmatt@sheltonbbs.com

I do have info on Letitia Gilliland and Isaac Richardson because Isaac was my 3rd great grand uncle our common ancestor is Amos Richardson and Sarah Morrison if you would like more info on that line I can help you out a little. She is buried at Blue Ball Baptist Church Cemetery and I have pictures of the tombstones there. Hope this helps a little. . .sorry I saw nothing on the drowning. Sandi Richardson-Shanks

I am trying to find some kind of info that would prove Thomas Gilliland was in KY in 1860. the info of his drowning etc....just comes fr undocumentated sources. I found the 1850 Hardin co census.....but could not find 1860, if he did drown in Dec 1860 he could be on it. Does anyone have access to it. I could not find a marr for Thomas and Elizabeth either. thanks for any help, Nena Children of Thomas Gilliland & Mary Polk [5 kids] -James Gilliland b: ABT. 1775/1783 d aft 1850 M1 UNKNOWN Children of James GILLILAND and UNKNOWN are: Benjamin and Phillena James Gilliland md2 Polly Morrison Oct 4 1808 died aft 1847 Letitia Gilliland b: ABT. 1809 Sarah Gilliland b: ABT. 1811 Thomas Gillilandjr b: ABT. 1819 drowned Dec 17 1860 Hardin Co KY md Elizabeth Lemaster who had my ggrandfather James Lee Gilliand.
