A quick and partial report before my regular posts. As most of you know, there were 55 tornadoes spawned yesterday from Arkansas to TN to KY and I don't know where else. A lot of us were up late into the morning hours. The sparse report so far is that 3 people were killed in Muhlenburg County, four were killed in Allen Co. The Allen, Metcalfe and Monroe Co schools are closed - trees down, building damages. More reports will come out once crews get on the scenes .... If you are in the Allen, Metcalfe or Monroe Co area, please let me know that you're ok or in the areas of TN hit so hard ... I'll try to post an update sometime this afternoon.

This is just too good to not pass on. Researchers always try to teach that we can't trust secondary sources (i.e. not seeing the source) but take it with a grain of salt and then try to prove/disprove it. It still holds true today. I have been having literally screaming fits over an inaccurate listing for me on the internet at whitepages.com. Within the last few weeks I have been overwhelmed with phone calls and letters addressed to someone I don't know at my address and with my phone #. I've tried everything to find the source and then found that on the above site, there is another family is listed at my address, with my phone #, then my listing, and then another one who likely is still me loused up. No one can do anything about it locally, everyone gets their information from the same few sources and it spreads like wildfire (like incorrect family trees on the internet). I finally broke down and contacted the other party - they've never lived here (I know, I've been her most of the life of the house) ...Finally I found a contact address for the internet site and submitted my request to dump off the other people. I should hear from them in 5-7 days - maybe! I told one of my daughters about it and she checked something out. She did a search for Franklin Gorin in KY. Well, according to the site, he is happily living at Mammoth Cave. Humm... he was born in 1798 and died in 1877 and I thought he was buried at Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. I guess his spirit lives on at the cave he owned in the 1830's; gee, I have some questions I'd like to ask him, guess I'll drive to the cave and pay him a visit! I thought you might get a chuckle out of that tale! My warning is that there are a lot of viruses going around since Valentine's Day is coming up (and another year older for me, sob). Some appear to be Valentine's cards from a dear friend or smaltzy messages. Rootsweb is catching the ones coming to the lists and I'm going in and deleting them so they won't go to the list. But, I've received some addressed to me personally so there are spammers out there. Be cautious when opening a card or a message like this. Just a heads up!

Thanks so much for all the guesses at last week's puzzler - a large number of you replied! Charles has posted the new puzzler for me; if you'd like to try your hand at a foreign language .... click on the URL in my signature line called Sandi's puzzlers and make your guess. While some are celebrating their team's Super Bowl victory (and it was a great game), let's relax and go back to 1881. The following unusual article appeared in the Cambridge (IN) Tribune on Thursday, 31 Mar 1881. "According to the Times, of Glasgow, Ky., there has been near that place the past month a robins' roost that equals the pigeon roots of olden times: "A cedar thicket of about sixty acres furnishes the birds a lodging place. About sundown every evening constant streams from every direction pour into the grove, and almost obscure the heavens in their flight. Night finds almost every bush in the thicket bending with its red-breasted load. For the past few weeks lovers of sport for miles around have visited the place, and every night the thicket is illuminated with the torches of men with clubs and sacks gathering the feathery harvest. "Mr. SMITH has killed over 2,000, and hundreds are carried away every night, but they don't seem to decrease; there are millions of them. Large quantities of them have been sold in town. They are very fat, and make, when well cooked, a dish good enough for anyone." Fried robins? For shame!! Franklin Gorin, in "Times of Long Ago" (1870) wrote that in the early days of the county that we had an abundance of birds in Barren Co, especially parakeets. He stated that there were so many flying that it made the skies look like a rainbow. They were chased out by the sparrows and mocking birds. I finished the 3rd of 4 classes on genealogy research at the Mary Wood Weldon Library Saturday. After returning from my symposium in Frankfort on the 12th for the KY Historical and KY Genealogical Society; I will be giving my last program for the library which will be cemetery walk at Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. I'll be showing the students how to clean and read the old stones - if it doesn't rain! We'll meet at the library at 9:30 and after a few preliminary remarks, will head out to the cemetery. See you all tomorrow hopefully - more bad storms coming in yet again!

Taken from Backroads of Barren Co penned as newspaper articles by William Daniel Tolle and published by me. Written in 1921 for this part. "Messrs Lucian and James MARTIN lived there but sold out to Dr. RENICK. Dr. RENICK has a fine bottom farm, well improved, a large farm dwelling and several stock barns. He is a successful farmer and trader. Ed EVERETT lived just across the hill on the old EVERETT place. His widow and children live there now. Chris LANDRUM lives on the Jimmie SETTLE place northwest of Rocky Hill. Mr. SETTLE was a mechanic with much natural genius. He made cotton gins that would pick the seeds from the cotton, card and spin into threads ready for weaving into cloth. Homemade clothing was worn by both men and women on the farms in the early day - the first settlers of the country. Thus were the settlements and settlers of Rocky Hill country twenty years ago. Many changes have taken place since then. Many deaths have occurred, and changes of different kinds have taken place, but [I] know little of the of the village of Rocky Hill and its inhabitants today. I suppose I might say of a trust that Mr. VAUGHAN and Mr EMERSON are selling goods in the village; and a young man ... I think by the name of SMITH ... is running a blacksmith and wood shop there. The PAGE family as noted above are living in the original Franklin SETTLE's house where they have lived for many years and which I suppose have owned for a life time or nearly so. There is a large and commodious school house in the bounds of the village, or accessible thereto. A Masonic lodge, No. 577, is held in the same building. This lodge has lost two of its most prominent members in the last few years; its Master and Secretary. James A SNODDY served the lodge as Master and Secretary from 1906 until 1914, when he died. Capt. Thomas PAGE served the lodge as Secretary a much longer period and has more recently died. At the close of the year 1921 the lodge has 18 members. So far as the church house where the good people of the village worship. I don't know (line of the original manuscript missing) ... Many years (cut off) ago I saw an old log church house on Beaver Creek north or east of the village. Since that time I have seen a more commodious and up-to-date house of worship I think somewhere in the same region of the country but I can't locate it at present." I think I will post one more article from Tolle's writing before moving on to a different series - next week.

I'm still working!!! Another new book just "came off the presses". This book is Volume 1 of a series entitled the Reports of the Kentucky Courts of Appeals. With the assistance of Barren County Circuit Court Judge Phil Patton, I have gained access to these old books which are extremely interesting. If a case came before the Circuit Court and the defendant disagreed with the decision of the court, he could send an appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals who heard his case, read the testimony, checked precedence in other cases and made a decision as to whether the verdict at the County level was correct or not. Many of the old books are not available locally, but the ones included in Volume 1 are as follows: Spring Term 1813, Fall term 1814, Spring & Fall 1839, Spring & Fall 1840, Spring & Fall 1841, Spring & Fall 1842, Spring & Fall 1843, Spring 1844, Fall 1847, Spring & Fall 1848, Spring & Winter 1849, Spring & Winter 1850, Summer & Winter 1852 and Summer and Winter 1853. Counties included are Adair (5 cases), Allen (1 case), Barren,(9 cases) Cumberland (4 cases), Edmonson (4 cases), Green (13 cases), Hardin (13 cases), Hart (6 cases), Logan (6 cases), Monroe (2 cases) and Warren (11 cases). A sampling of the cases include dower assignment, tippling houses, slave sales & emancipation, debts, estate settlements, forcible entry, fraud in sales, ejectment, intent to kill, failure to follow wishes of a will, trespass, failure to have license for breeding mules, debts, stolen hogs, wife's dower, fraud, etc. There a couple of extremely interesting cases - a family of slaves who had been freed and had to go back into slavery and a very senior citizen who married a very young lady - and then everything fell apart! I've abstracted some of the cases, some are full copy. Again, as always, if you'd like to see a copy of the table of contents and the index, drop me a line privately and I'll forward it to you as a word document. Those I don't see tonight, I'll send after church and before the Super Bowl!

Martha Harrison sent me the following article as a follow-up to my post yesterday on the moonshine raid. The paper shown was misdated - here is the correct article: PISTOL AGAINST SHOTGUN Jim Ashford and Willie Carver Killed by J. A. Ray Our issue of last week contained but a meagre account of the terrible fight in Tracey precinct, between United States officers and moonshiners. This was unavoidable on account of the late arrival of the news and the thousand-and-one conflicting reports in circulation. The following, as near as we are able to gather, are the correct particulars. For some time past there has been much complaints from citizens of the neighborhood where the killing occurred concerning the distilling of whisky in their midst. It was a source of great annoyance and trouble, as even some of the boys were beginning to drink heavily. In this state of affairs, complaint was made, and this complaint reached the ears of Mr. J. A. Ray, Deputy Internal Revenue Collector stationed at Burksville, who thereupon determined on its suppression. Tuesday of last week, Mr. Ray, accompanied by two other men, went down into the Tracey country, and began a look-out for the moonshine. When near the place where the still was supposed to be situated they came upon a negro cabin, and fearing some one might leave the house and give the alarm, one of the men was left to guard the cabin and the horses, while Mr. Ray and by the name of Brannun prosecuted their search. Just after they had dismounted and gone forward, the man in charge of the horses says that he saw a fellow with a large, bushy beard skulking in the bushes, who, immediately on finding himself discovered; slipped off. It is supposed he carried the news of the officers approach to the moonshiners, as a man answering this description was seen by Mr. Ray at the still. In the meantime, Mr. Ray and Mr. Brannun pushed on through the woods, and very suddenly came up in front of a cleared spot of ground, beyond which the still was situated. When they arrived at this point, there were several a half-dozen or more men standing around the door of the distillery. The two government men proceeded across the clearing, to a fence on the other side, near which the moonshiners were standing. As they approached a sullen silence was maintained, until clambering the fence, when Brannun called out, Good evening, gentlemen. The second after, Jim Ashford, one of the owners of still, was seen bringing a shot gun to bear on the fence, when Ray and Brannun drew their pistols just as Ashford fired. The muzzle of his gun was thrust almost against the forms of his antagonists, and the smoke of the discharge blackened their faces, but strange to say neither of the two men was hurt, although several shots passed through Rays clothes. Mr. Ray fired almost at the same time, the ball from his pistol striking Ashford in the right side. Ashford sprang behind a tree, and exposed his left side as he leaned around the tree again taking aim at Mr. Ray, who thereupon shot him in the left side, sending the bullet almost squarely through his heart. Ashford fell forward dead. Another man, who afterwards proved to be Willie Carver, had also opened fire on the officers, which Mr. Ray returned, shooting Carver twice, and mortally wounding him by a shot in the bowels. While all this was going on, Brannun was exchanging shots with another man, but owing to his pistol being of the old powder and cap kind, it hung fire and neither he nor the moonshiner had been hurt. Mr. Rays attention being at last unengaged, he turned to Brannuns relief, when the man at whom they both fired, dropped his gun and fled. It is thought he was slightly wound in the leg. After the field was thus cleared, the officers hastily gathered together the guns of the moonshiners who had fallen and fled, and fearing that they would be attacked in overwhelming numbers, left. As they were riding off, they caught sight of the third fellow shot, lying in a fence corner, but as pursuit was anticipated, it was determined best not to encumber themselves by the arrest of wounded man. Jim Ashford, who was first killed, was regarded by all who knew him, as an utterly unprincipled, reckless sort of a man, more of bully, however, than a man of courage. He has figured very extensively, in government circles during the past year or two, as an informer and piloter of the U. S. officers and a witness against moonshiners in the Federal Court, and on his testimony several have been convicted. He has been in the illicit distilling business for some time past, and, it is said, had announced his intention of never being taken by the officers. Willie Carver was a young man of family above the average, and is spoken of as a good hearted, clever fellow, who paid the penalty of his only fault with his life. He was led off by Ashford, and gradually worked into the moonshine business. He died, on Wednesday of last week, the next day after being shot. Strange to say, nothing has ever been heard of the third man shot, although the officers are very certain three were wounded. It is probable that he got only a flesh wound, and is but too glad to conceal the part which he took in the affair. Ashfords body lay upon the ground where he was killed until next day, when he was hauled off and buried. Immediately after his body was removed, the fires were again lighted and the still put in operation, continuing to run until Constable Beam levied on it for some of the debts of Ashford. Nothing has since been done regarding the affair, not even an investigating trial being held. There is a very strong impression here that the officers acted only in self-defense that it was kill or be killed. Mr. Ray, who is brought forward so prominently by this fight, is spoken of a cool, quiet, but fearless man, not in the least inclined to shirk his duty, whatever the consequences may be. He has behaved himself in a manner entirely different from the bullying conduct of the Deputy Marshals who were here some year or two ago, and is represented by those who have known him longest and best as a gentleman. He came into town after the killing, and declared himself ready for any sort of investigation which might be made. He then left for his home in Burksville, stating that at the first legal steps taken in the matter he would return and stand his trial. The whole affair was very unfortunate and much to be regretted, but in the light of testimony from both sides, seems to have been a battle for life, in which the quickest trigger and the surest aim won.

Taken from the Waukesha Freeman, Waukeshea Wisconsin. Thursday, 18 Sept 1878, p. 2. (Under column entitled "The South") "A fight between two revenue officers and a party of illicit distillers near Glasgow, Ky., resulted in the killing of two of the moonshiners, and the wounding of two others. The officers were unharmed, although their clothes were perforated by a number of bullets."

Ohio Democrat, New Philadelphia OH, Thursday, March 6, 1879, page 4. "Thirty-Two Children. From the Glasgow (Ky.) Times. "One of the most remarkable men in Monroe county, Ky., is Mr. John Jacob Goodman. He was born in North Carolina in 1783, and is now in his ninety-seventh year. In 1804, he removed to Monroe county, then a part of Barren, and has lived on the same place ever since, a period of seventy-five years. For upward of forty year he as a distiller, and at the age of sixty-five he could lift a forty gallon barrel of whiskey and take his toddy out of the bunghole. He is now living with his second wife, his first having died many years ago. Fifteen children were the fruit of his first matrimonial experiment, and seventeen of the last, making a grand total of thirty-two - twenty-seven of whom lived to be married.Mr. Goodman has always been a moderate dram-drinker; for sixty-two years a member of the Baptist church and forty-two years a clerk of that body. Besides this, he is a life-long Democrat, and never ailed to vote in elections but on one occasion in his life. He says his object is leaving Carolina was to raise a large family of children and that he has never ceased regretting this step, as he thinks he could have done as well in that line in Carolina as he has succeeded here."

If you are certain the marriage was in Greenbrier, you will find a marriage bond/record there. The Greenbrier Historical Society Library in Lewisberg, W VA, is a wonderful place to research. They have a book (and originals) of marriage bonds extracted by their members. They also have very informative Death Records starting 1853. Same info we have on modern death certificates. Greenbrier Disrict, VA, was never in Kentucky District, VA, to the best of my knowledge. Greenbrier records start 1777, but according to my reference, their marriage records start 1780 so your 1784 marriage should be there. Go online and look for an address for the Greenbrier Historical Society Library. Mary Alice ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

Sandi February 8, 9, and 10, 2008 Mammoth Cave National Park The rediscovery of Mammoth Cave by American Europeans brought a flood of change to the western frontier of the United States. That flood carried with it the cultural traditions of both industrial and agrarian regions in the north and south. One of those traditions was slavery. This three-day workshop will briefly explore the impacts of slavery on a region that soon became the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We will discuss stories and sites commemorating the contributions of slaves and their descendants to this Commonwealth, then be exposed to ways and means of researching African American families in this country. Participants will spend two days immersed in the story of slavery at Mammoth Cave, walking in the footsteps of cave guides Stephen Bishop, Mat and Nick Bransford, and others along the tour trails of Mammoth Cave. They will celebrate the lives of the men, women and children of Mammoth Cavefs slavery heritage as they take short treks to various landmarks in the Park representative of home sites, final resting places, and the beneficial work of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s.
