Author: MonaKnight15 Surnames: Moran Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.barren/18943.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have an extraction of the biographies from the original History of Barren Co, KY; and there is a bio for the R. Price Moran family. In brief, it states that R. Price Moran of this bio was the son of Price P. Moran (b. 1818 in Barren Co.). He farmed on "Skegg's Creek" and turned the farm over to R(obert) Price Moran. Price P. Moran was married to Elizabeth Mansfield, who died in 1866. She was daughter of Thomas and Matilda Mansfield, Virginians by birth who came to Barren Co. about 1800. Price P. Moran is of Irish ancestry and son of William Moran of Albemarle Co., VA who came to Kentucky in 1806. Hope this helps a little.

Now - for my final spooky story for the season: Somewhere - it could have been in Barren County or around here - there was an eery old house. Strange noises were heard often in the middle of the night and the owner of the house had a difficult time of renting the house. No one wanted to stay in this desolate creaky, supposedly haunted, old house. Finally, a family moved in, laughing at the stories of strange happenings here. But ... at the stroke of midnight on October 28th, the telephone rang downstairs. The husband, being rather of the lazy sort, sent his son downstairs to answer the phone. After the sound of footsteps going down the creaky stairs and hearing a "Hello?", there was total silence for a moment and then a blood-curdling scream. The family raced downstairs to find the son laying in the middle of the floor, telephone in hand, and quite dead. And then ... at the stroke of midnight on October 29th, the telephone again rang downstairs. The husband, again too lazy to get up on a cold night, send his daughter downstairs to answer the phone. After the sound of footsteps going down the creaky stairs and hearing a 'Hello?", there was total silence for a moment and then a blood-curdling scream. The family raced downstairs to find the daughter laying in the middle of the floor, telephone in hand, and quite dead. And then ... at the stroke of midnight on October 30th, that dreaded telephone again rang downstairs. The husband, this time more than concerned, and being a natural born coward, sent his wife downstairs to answer the phone, assuring her that all would be well. After the sound of footsteps going down the creaky stairs and hearing a 'Hello?", there was total silence for a moment and then a blood-curdling scream. The husband raced downstairs to find his wife laying in the middle of the floor, telephone in hand, and quite dead. And then ... it was Halloween, October 31st. The husband was huddled under the bedclothes, even his head was under the blankets to block out any strange sounds. And yes, at the stroke of midnight, the telephone started ringing downstairs. He could not help but hear the loud sound and finally, after many rings, decided he had to answer the phone. Shakily he tip toed down the stairs and into the kitchen where the telephone continued it's incessant ringing. Just as he reached for the phone he saw something in the corner. The room was dark; the moonshine temporarily blacked out by a large cloud. But he knew he saw "something." When the cloud passed, he saw something slowly emerging from the shadows. It was a ..... Walking coffin. That coffin was heading right towards him, one small and clumsy step at a time. The husband was scared, he was trapped; he could not reach the stairs. The phone continued ringing, jarring his nerves to the breaking point while that coffin inched its way towards him. All of a sudden, he knew what he MUST do. He reached his hand into his robe's pocket and grabbed onto a ...... where is it? .... there ... a COUGH DROP! He rapidly took off the wrapper and popped the cough drop into his mouth. The coffin DISAPPEARED! What? Why? He knew it was stop that awful coughin'!

The Ritter Graveyard There was a young girl who stayed all night with her Uncle Ritter once. She had to sleep in a wing of the house that extended out towards the family graveyard. Before falling asleep, she glanced over toward the window and something jumped up on the windowsill, gave one jump into the middle of the floor, and the next jump landed on the bed with the girl. In her frightened mind she tried to determine what it was! It could have been a big cat; but if it was, it was standing on two legs. It was about the size of a monkey but didn't look like any monkey she had ever seen. But whatever it was, it was strong and started pulling on the covers. For some reason it wanted under the bed covers. For what seemed like hours, the tug of war continued until finally the girl fell asleep from pure exhaustion. But just as she drifted off she saw the creature hop to the floor and in one big leap, jumped out the window. When the girl awoke the next morning, she jumped up to look out the window to see what she could see. There was only one problem. There was no window in her room.

6h try for this one too! Sandi Good morning on the last week of October with a definite chill in the air. Charles has posted the answer to last week's puzzler and I thank all of you who tried your hand at solving it. There is a long and detailed description of the lands set aside for the soldiers & officers of the Revolutionary War which can be found. After you see the answer you will remember that I mention this boundary line every week in my Hart Co posts altho at the time of these posts, the lands had been opened up for anyone to settle. The new puzzler has been posted also; I've discussed this quite a few times on the list so hopefully you can get the answer and send me your guesses.

No one sees it but; it automatically sends me your guess and I'll respond. If you don't enter your email address, I can't reply! Here is the ghost story for the day: The Old Woman With No Head This story was written from an interview with Mr. Willie Bunch that was conducted in March of 1992. The interviewers were Mark Anderson and Willie's daughter, Juanita Anderson. It was a summer day around 1926 in the small farming community of Kino, Kentucky. Kino was a little place just outside of Glasgow, the county seat of Barren County. Willie Bunch was walking home after spending the night with his friend, Fred Duggard, and carrying a rooster that he had bought from his grandfather for a quarter. It was hot and wet outside, and getting near lunchtime. Just off the old, dirt road, a tree had blown down and he sat down to roll himself a cigarette. As he was getting his tobacco out, he looked up and about twelve feet away stood a woman with no head. "I looked at the bottom of her feet, to the top of her head--but I couldn't see," he said. She was dressed all in white. The gown, he later assumed to be a wedding gown, trailed far behind the old woman. He watched her for a few minutes, probably not quite believing his own eyes, as the old woman picked up firewood. While trying to get away from the old woman, he grabbed his rooster by the neck instead of its feet and choked the poor animal. "Why, its neck was two feet long," he said. He threw the bird down when he saw what he had done and went home, noticeably shaken from the event. Another incident occurred to the family on their way back from church. They were all in a horse drawn wagon, and on the little dirt road that he had seen the old woman on before. They were nearing the Old Scott Place, as he called it, when his grandfather heard a horse galloping and snorting from behind. He turned around, but didn't see a horse. All he saw was the old woman with no head crawling into the back of their wagon with them. She sat in the back of the wagon until they got to the Scott's farm. There she got off, walked towards the farm and disappeared. Willie's wife, Louvenia, also saw her that time. He also said that the woman with no head was responsible for planting a field full of flowers. "She planted the whole field full of 'em. I guess it had an acre or more. They're the prettiest flowers ever I saw, I'm honest," he said. In all, Willie saw the old woman with no head four or five times, but he wasn't the only one to see her. According to his grandfather, the old woman suddenly appeared on the back of his horse, and once again, got off near the Scott farm. Willie's eldest son, Lee, also saw the old woman. He saw her at his grandmother's house walking down the stairs. He said he counted every step she took as she came down out of the house. He said that this time she was dressed in a long, black dress and was carrying an umbrella, but she still didn't have a head. The old woman was almost always seen in the same area, gathering firewood or going to the Scott farm. Every time Willie saw her it was still daylight and usually wet outside, like it had just rained the night before. He heard that someone had cut off a preacher's head in the area. He didn't know whether or not the preacher had anything to do with the old woman or if it was just a coincidence. But it was the only explanation he could give as to why there was an old woman with no head lurking in the woods of Barren County, Kentucky. See you tomorrow! Sandi

This tale, told me as true, happened long ago in Eighty-Eight, Kentucky THE COLD, COLD BRIDE This ghostly tale was told to me as the gospel truth, but the names had been removed to protect the innocent. It is set around Eighty-Eight during Civil War times. I will use Mary as the girl's name and John for the young man's name. I will not tell anyone the real names. There was a beautiful young lady named Mary who was betrothed to a handsome young man named John; the marriage date was set, all preparations made and on the wedding day, all awoke to great expectations of a wonderful life for this handsome couple. But, alas, when the bride-to-be failed to appear for breakfast, the family checked and found her dead in her bed. She had passed away overnight and no one knew that she had been ill. Thus, instead of her walking down the aisle, Mary was instead buried that same day in her wedding gown. John was beside himself with grief as they laid her to rest in the church cemetery and could barely be consoled. His family, who lived nearby, tried to convinced him to come to supper with them, before mounting his horse to go to the home he had so lovingly built for his fiancee. He agreed, not being hungry at all, but feeling such a weight of sorrow that he wanted to delay the ride back to their log cabin home. All too soon, the daylight gave way to the darkness of a very stormy night and John bid his good-byes to the family, mounted his horse and started on the long ride home. He had hardly gone a mile when lightning flashed and thunder rolled and he decided to seek shelter. Looking around, he saw the illuminated church where just hours before his beloved Mary had been laid to rest in the cemetery beside it. He galloped towards the church, tied the horse to the hitching post and ran inside Once inside and shaking the rain from his clothes, meant to be his wedding suit, he turned ashen as the lightning illuminated the church. There - on the front row - sat his bride! Before he could summon the strength to yell out to her, the cold steel of a pistol was felt at the back of his neck. He froze as the church again surrendered to the darkness of the night. A voice - ominous and as cold as the steel of the pistol at his neck spoke out. "Don't move or it will be your last breath on earth." He remained rigid with heart pounding until he thought it would burst through his chest. Another flash of lightning, and again he saw the vision of his bride sitting serenely on the front row. It could not be! They had just laid her to rest mere hours ago. And then it dawned upon John what was going on. The man, and there were others breathing in the darkness around him, were grave robbers. He had heard that voice before at the funeral and wondered at the time who this stranger was which had stood back from the mourners. Mary had been buried in her finery with all her jewelry placed lovingly on her fingers and around her graceful neck. The man and his assistants had come back and under the cover of darkness had dug her body up. The problem was the storm had come up unexpectedly and they had brought dear Mary's body into the church to finish the evil robbery. John, so terrified, whispered that he would not tell a soul about what he had just seen if they would let him leave. Finally, after great discussion in the shadows, they agreed and he bolted from the door, catching one last glimpse of his beloved Mary, sitting so calmly on the front pew, so cold, so lifeless, so alone. John never did tell of the events of that awful night until his dying day when he cleansed his soul to the local pastor. Never more could he enter that little church by the cemetery, never more would he marry, never more would he see his Mary until he crossed to the other side.

As I said - I am not a pro .... but Jan asked how to scan negatives and slides. I have a HP scanner that has a little gadget inside the top cover. A slide goes in there or a negative. When you're ready to scan, the HP program asks if it's a negative, print, etc. etc. It works like a dream. My scanner is likely 10 yrs old and gets flakey on me after all these years but when I bought it it was $99. Other manufacturers have this feature too, this is just the one I'm familiar with. On photo restorations ... I can do the simple stuff with my photo program - adjusting automatically for brightness, colors etc. If it's complicated, I email it to my daughter as she has a more professional program that can eliminate cracks, wrinkles (whew!), black out (or whatever color) background noise (people, objects etc you don't want in the picture - like the kid who walked into the picture and crossed his eyes!). I use Microsoft Picture It as my main program; PhotoShop is a more techie program but you can do wonders with it. You've all heard of how news photos have been doctored ... but sometimes it really helps. At a funeral of a family member on the east coast, my other daughter was unable to attend. There was a get together of all the young people - cousins, sisters, etc. and it was sad that my daughter wasn't in the picture. So with some editing, she popped in the picture by using another picture of her, cropping it and popping it right in with the rest of the gang. We know she wasn't really there but I now have a picture of all the grandchildren of the deceased together. It's noted on the photo that she wasn't there for future generations.

I'm not a professional photographer (nor do I play one on tv) but I certainly shoot a LOT of pictures! With the advent of the digital camera, you seldom see me without my camera in hand. I use it for family pictures, taking pictures at cemeteries, of documents, and even my pets. I'm getting better with the digital camera and I, like millions of others, love it since you can see immediately if a shot came out and don't have to pay for prints that are out of focus, too light, too dark, too anything! But .... One of my daughters is a professional photographer and as such goes to an annual seminar held somewhere in the US. This year they were in Chicago and in attendance were some of the greatest photographers and instructors in the country. Yesterday when she stopped in to see me I was burning a cd of my next set of pictures to get them off my system. She reminded me of something that she had told me after the seminar that we all need to remember. We normally take photos with our digital (or scan the paper ones), put them on the computer and leave them there, or burn them to a cd. We spend hours copying these priceless photos - and as I thought, they were preserved for 100's of years on that little cd. Well ... maybe not. According to an expert speaker of this subject, he stated that we might unintentionally have a "lost generation" with no photographs. No, it's not that our system failed or the cd ended up in the microwave by mistake. It's because there is NO guarantee of how long our pictures will remain pristine on a cd. Manufacturers say 100 years give or take, but they haven't been around long enough to prove this right or wrong. He suggested two things: (1) Every 2-3 years copy your pictures from one cd to a new one. Every time you open a photo image, there is a little deterioration (and I don't get technical, I knew this but don't pretend to understand all of it). So don't open up those picture files too many times. Copy them to a new cd as needed, dating it so you know when you last made the transfer. (2) Print off your favorites, those that you don't want to lose. You can print them off yourself rather inexpensively on Kodak, Fuji or like photo papers, or you can let a company do it for you. I'm not plugging any particular store or business; there are many who do this - WalMart, Walgreens, local photo shops. I use Walgreens on line as it is so quick - I transfer the prints to them and in an hour can pick them up or have them mailed to me. I don't even have to fight the machines at the stores which I manage to either goof up or am 20th in line. The store sends me an email when they're ready and I can pick them up. But - we need a paper copy of our best photos - those precious ones of our family past or present. I thought I would pass this on to you for your information. On my family photos (and I'm scanning slides and negatives too); I keep a digital copy on a cd, send a copy to my daughter for backup and print many of them off after restoring with a photo program those that are torn or faded. (I leave a lot of the latter up to my daughter; she has a better program than I do and more expertise). Hopefully in all this, we will have photos of our past family and our present family to cherish when we're too old to see the computer monitor any more! Sandi
