I wanted to share with you all looking for your missing ancestors. My ++Great Grandfather was Alvin Sturgill s/o Lewis Sturgill and Sarah Hanks Sturgill. Grandfather Alvin married Nancy Jane Fraley d/o Isaac Oliver and Catherine Shoemaker Fraley on Feb. 14th, 1830 in Lawrence Co., KY. Alvin and Nancy were the parents of 9 children. Both came from well respected and well established families. Sometime between the 1880 and 1890 census Alvin and Nancy Jane Fraley Sturgill disappeared. I have spent hours wondering how this could happen. They came from large families---they lived near their children and grandchildren---but they are lost to history. We have no idea where they are buried or how or when they died. Here is my biggest question---why did no one notice they were gone! The rest of our Fraley/Sturgill family's resting places are known--and also the causes of their deaths---so what happened to Alvin and Nancy? I try to put them out of my mind---but not my heart---and accept that they just disappeared. Ramona
