Hello Folks, My goodness, where has the year 2007 disappeared to?? I'm haunting the Malls and downtown specialty shops for gifts again.. My Buford Website is celebrating it's first birthday this month and what a year it has been !!! ~ Thanks to all of you out there. My Up-date, this time, is larger than usual in honor of it's First Birthday and there is a special message for all of you on the home page. Please come on by and have a look when you have the time. www.bufordfamilies.com Wishing you all a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS, Fern K. Buford Walker

Those of you who have been on these lists for awhile know that I usually do something different over the upcoming Christmas holidays; tho I didn't do it last year. Between now and Christmas, I am opening up the list (and you know that's rare <grin>) to you guys for other than queries. If you have a special Christmas memory - either from KY or elsewhere (since your ancestors were here!), please share it with the list. I normally write a Christmas story too, if I can find the time. All of your memories will be compiled and as many as I can squeeze in, will appear also on my KYRESEARCH list and later in my Guide to Kentucky Researching series. You may use your full name, or just your email address, or if you don't either to appear, let me know privately. Is there a special Christmas that you remember from your childhood? A hard winter weather? A Christmas when money was slim and you didn't get to celebrate? An ancestor's Christmas story that you know about? Were you a soldier far away from home and missing your family? Did you share the holiday with someone special? Make the subject line Christmas Memories so we can spot them easily. If you don't want your story to appear anyplace else, let me know that too privately. We have had some memorable stories over the years some that brought heavy tears to our eyes, some that made us laugh out loud, some that brought back memories of our own Christmases. Thanks, Sandi SCKY Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=south-central-kentucky Barren Co Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybarren Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html

Hello List, If there is anyone who has access to Barren County marriage records I would appreciate a lookup. Arthur W. Marcum was the son of James Marcum and Nancy Ann Brown. They were all in the 1880 census of Barren county. Nancy died and James married Martha Eveline Pedigo Mansfield and moved on to Wright Co., Missouri. Arthur is in the 1910 Wright Co., Missouri census married to a Martha born abt. 1881 in KY. Arthur W. was born May 11, 1859 in Wayne Co., Kentucky. The census shows them married 12 years in 1910 which would insinuate 1898. I cannot find their marriage in Missouri. Thanks for any help.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Jwilbro848 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.barren/1770.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: As per the above post, John Wilcockson(Wilcoxson,Willcocks,etc) owned land on both sides Bear Creek in Rowan County. Isaac, an assumed brother of John, on 21 Dec 1761, Granville to Isaac Wilcoxon 320 acres on HUNTING CREEK and LONG BRANCH. The above post also states: "In 1798, the last of his lands in Rowan County sere sold to his son, William" The following will show that William Wilcoxson who married Nancy Sparks did not own land in Rowan County. This William's property was in WILKES COUNTY on NORTH HUNTING CREEK near the SURRY CO. line adjoining WILLIAM SPARKS (Nancy's father)at one time. North Hunting Creek is in present day Yadkin County, in the Hamptonville area that borders on Iredell Co. Yadkin co. was split from Surry Co.in 1851. This creek is south of Hwy 421 and along Hwy 21 South. Bear Creek is northwest of Salisbury and in present day Davie Co. near Mocksville. Remember, John Granville died in 1763 forcing his land offices to close, consequently, a settler could not obtain a land title between 1763 and 1778 within the Granville area. In 1778, this changed because British land rights ceased during the Revolution. So, we have no way of knowing when the land was actually claimed by the settler from 1763 to 1778 and that's why so many land entries were made in NC in 1778/79. The following are some of William Wilcoxson's land transactions in Wilkes Co., NC: 24 July 1778 Surry Co., NC Thomas Yates 200 a. N. Fork Hunting Creek adjoining William Sparks and William Willcocks. 18 Dec 1778, Wm Wilcocks entered 50 a. south side of branch between James Havel's & Wilcock's HOUSE (Entry #588); 31 Dec 1778, Wm Wilcox entered 300 a. north side HUNTING CREEK including his improvement (entry #674); 1 Mar 1779, Wm entered 100 a. NORTH FORK HUNTING CREEK including his improvement (entry #946); THESE 3 ENTRIES SHOW WILLIAM HAD ALREADY BEEN LIVING ON AND WORKING THIS LAND AS HE HAD A HOUSE AND IMPROVEMENTS. 21 Feb 1780, he entered 100 a. NORTH FORK HUNTING CREEK (entry #1635) WILKES LAND ENTRY BOOK 1778-1781 23 Oct 1782, William Wilcockson received a State Grant for 320 acres on HUNTING CREEK. (Deed bk A-1, pg. 283) 9 Nov 1784, he received a State Grant for 100 a. on HUNTING CREEK adj. Luke Browning and HIS OWN LAND (Deed bk.A-1, pg 467; also, same date, he received a State Grant for an additional 100 acres same location (Deed bk. A-1, pg 469) 23 Jan 1792, William Wilcockson sold 100 a. on waters NORTH FORK HUNTING CREEK (Deek bk B-1, pg 206) 1797 William Wilcoxson bought 150 acres NORTH FORK HUNTING CREEK from Isham Harvil (Deed bk. D, pg 285) Ruth Wilcoxson was a sister-in-law of William Wilcoxson and the widow of Isaac, William's brother, who was chosen as guardian to William, Daniel and Martha in 1771. On 14 Sept. 1787, a Power of Attorney from ruth Wilcockson, of Rowan Co., NC to William Willcockson of Wilkes County to sell land in Wilkes county to Jacob Adams (Will Bk 1 pages 274 & 275); 29 Jan 1788 William Willcockson sold Jacob Adams 243 acres of land south fork Roaring River, waters of Yadkin River. Signed: William Willcockson. (Deed Bk D, pg 401) 17 Apr 1802, Wm Wilcoxson sold 524 acres on HUNTING CREEK for 800 silver dollars (deed bk C-1, pages 396 & 397); 13 Jun 1803, Wm Wilcoxson (for one cent) to Daniel Wilcoxson 24 1/2 acres NORTH HUNTING CREEK (Deed bk F-1, pg 54); on same day Will Wilcoxson (for one cent) to Daniel Wilcoxson 185 a. NORTH HUNTING CREEK (Deed bk F-1, pg 55). It is believed this is near the time Wm. left Wilkes Co., for Green Co. KY. Tax list of 1772 Rowan Co., by William Sharp; Area of Western Davie, northern Iredell, southern Wilkes and Yadkin Counties: David Jones & Danl Wilcox 2 Thomas Holman (married into Isaac Wilcoxson family)1 Isaac Wilcox & Wm Wilcox 2 Matthew Sparks 1 (Uncle to Nancy) Wm. Sparks & son Mathew 2 (Father & bro to Nancy) Mathias Busey (Mathew?) 1 (married Edry, widow of Isaac) George Wilcox 1 Joseph Holman 1 Wm Whitacar & son John & Thomas Stogdell 3 (John m. Martha, sister of WM) Isaac Holman Also listed in this area are Morgan, Joseph, John, and William Bryan. I believe William married Nancy shortly after this tax list as their son, Daniel was b. c1775. They more than likely were married by 1774. I do not believe the William who died in Barren Co. and lived previously in Wilkes County is the son of John and Sarah, but the orphaned son of Isaac. I also beg to differ on Daniel Wilcoxson b. March 1755 being the son of John and Sarah due to the simple fact that Samuel was born one month before Daniel Feb 1755. William of John and Sarah would likely have been born 1757 and I believe the William who married Nancy Sparks was probably born c1752/53 and surely prior to 1755 when his brother Daniel was born. If the William who John sold his property to is not his son, who is he? and where did William their son go. There is a William Wilcoxson in Green Co where George Wilcoxon moved to as early as 1786. He received a land grant in 1786 for 150 acres and another 150 acres in 1787; 1787 187 acres all in Green Co., Northern District. These can be found in TN Land Grants Vol I and II by Barbara, Byron, and Samuel Sistler; Nashville; 1998 Also, NC Land Grants in TN 1778-1791 pg 34 1782 Wm Wilcoxson 150 acres on Waters of Dumpling Creek (prob. in Green Co., at that time) Please excuse any errors I might have made. I have done this in a hurry and am open to any corrections or questions. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
