Good morning on the 1st day of October already! 1 - Charles has posted the answer to my puzzler of last week - for the very first time, there were no correct answers! Thanks for the few who tried though, it is appreciated. He has also posted the puzzler for this week, hopefully there will be more correct guessers! To take a guess, click on the URL in my signature line called Sandi's Genealogical Puzzlers. 2 - This week I'm opening up queries on your brick walls for surnames beginning with G through J. If you are hunting for information for any of your ancestors who were in any of the counties covered by these lists, send in that query - make your subject line start with BRICKWALL - (name). One query per week please. 3 - I am beginning a multi-part series on my KYRESEARCH list which might be of interest to you. It is dealing with Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky to the General Assembly of Virginia 1769 to 1831. The first two posts will list the 102 petitions that have survived in Virginia from the residents of what was then the County of Kentucky VA. Then beginning in the 2nd post and continuing until finished is a list of all the names of the citizens of VA who were living in what was to become KY with a reference back to the petition number(s) where their name appears. One will find a lot of names of our early settlers who ended up in the counties covered on this list. If you're not a subscriber to KYRESEARCH, I invite you to join. This is a once a week post on Thursdays and the list does not take queries so you won't be overrun with email. To subscribe to this list, send an email to KYRESEARCH-REQUEST@rootsweb.com and put the word Subscribe in the subject line and in the body of the email, nothing else. If you're already receiving my weekly posts, you do not need to subscribe again. 4 - I finally updated my Eudora email program and am working my way through all the differences from my very old program. If anything comes out looking strange, let me know and I'll try to figure out what I'm doing wrong! Have a great week on me!

Dougherty Dies Arlington, VA, September 10, 2007 -General Russell E. Dougherty, USAF(Ret.), a former commander-in-chief of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and the director of strategic target planning (Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff) at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, from August 1, 1974 to July 1, 1977, died on Friday, September 7, 2007 at his home in Potomac Falls, Virginia. He also served as Executive Director of the Air Force Association (AFA), an independent nonprofit organization that promotes aerospace power, from 1980 to 1986. "The Air Force Association and Airmen everywhere have lost a great friend," said AFA Chairman of the Board Bob Largent. "General Dougherty was an incomparable leader - a true icon for the United States Air Force and the Air Force Association. Always displaying an infectious smile and ready with a quick story to illustrate a cogent point, Russ Dougherty made a significant impact upon everyone with whom he came into contact. He served our nation with great honor, and while we will deeply miss him, we will continue to benefit from his leadership and his wisdom for an eternity. We extend our sympathies to the Dougherty family-they remain in our thoughts and prayers." "Russ Dougherty was a leader who served the Air Force and our nation with honor. The Dougherty family is in our thoughts and prayers, and we will miss him," said AFA President Michael M. Dunn. A strategic thinker and planner, as commander of SAC, Dougherty oversaw the most lethal nuclear arsenal in the world, including bombers, tankers, reconnaissance aircraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles. He was considered an airpower visionary and served on various government and commercial defense-related boards after retiring from the Air Force. He was an attorney, a command pilot and a master missileman. His military decorations and awards included the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Air Force Distinguished Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, Legion of Merit with two oak leaf clusters, Bronze Star Medal, and the Joint Service Commendation Medal. He received the AFA Lifetime Achievement award in 2004. Born in Glasgow, Kentucky, Dougherty was a graduate of Western Kentucky University and the Law School of the University of Louisville. After working for the FBI and serving in the 123rd Cavalry, Kentucky National Guard, Dougherty entered active military service as an aviation cadet in the US Army Air Corps at the out break of World War II. In 1947, he served as a unit instructor with the Air Force Reserve at Standiford Field, Louisville, Kentucky. A judge advocate in the late 40s, he moved from the legal world to fly bombers and refuelers. His post-World War II assignments encompassed various duties in operational, maintenance, administrative, political/military and command duties in Air Force, joint, and international assignments. He retired from the Air Force on December 31, 1980. In addition to numerous military awards and decorations, he was honored with five honorary doctorate degrees, and was an "Old Master" of Purdue University. He is survived by his wife Barbara, son, Mark, and daughter, Diane (DeDe) Ralston. A son, Bryant, and first wife, Geralee Shaaber, preceded him in death."

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: sgorin Surnames: Steenbergen, Jones, Bohannon Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.barren/9937.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thanks to Daine Harrison who filled in a lot of gaps in the story of the murder of Annie. In my book 'Blood Runs in the Barrens" is found the following: Taken from the Glasgow Times newspaper. "Miss Annie Belle Steenbergen, a young girl of about twenty five years of age, was shot through the window of her home Tuesday night of last week, and instantly killed. The whole load of shot struck the unfortunate woman in the right temple, tearing off the top of her head and of course killing her instantly. The killing occured in what is known as the Capital Hill country, and occurred at an early hour of the night, just as the victim was preparing to retire. "The whole neighborhood was soon aroused and intensely excited, and it was not long until suspicion gathered thick and dark around Booker Steenbergen, a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years of age, and a cousin of the murdered woman. Young Steenbergen was arrested and brought to jail here under a strong guard. Monday he was brought out for examining trial, but waived this, and was committed to Circuit Court without bail. The most kuniversal impression is that the boy is guilty. "It appears that young Steenbergen and his cousin had been criminally intimate for some time, and, as a result, she was in a delicate condition. This she had communicated not only to her own family but to Steenbergen himself, at thesame time insisting that he marry her. This he declined to do, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone. As she had already divulved her secret the idea is that the fiend carried out his threat. This impression is strengthened by the fact that Steenbergen was seen, armed with a gun, not far from the woman's residence by different parties the night of the killing. He also went to his father's residence, about two miles away, arriving there just about the length of time it would have taken him to travel the distance after the killing. He then had a gun. This is little doubt but that he did the killing and this is the universal sentiment in the section in which the tragedy occurred. The TIMES is informed that even Steenbergen's own family believ! es him guilty. "Monday last, Steenbergen was brought out before County Judge Bohannon, waived an examining tiral and was committed to ail without bail. We understand that this was done at the request of the prisoner, as he wished to waive the question of bail and be safel in jail before any of the murdered woman's relatives came to town. Farlong along in the day a crowd of witnesses and sympathizers with the family of the dead woman came in, and matters began to wear a somewhat serious look for Steenbergen. Rumors of a mob began to fly thick and ast, and as the day wore away these reports became more definite. Finally, the authorities became satisfied that serious trouble was brewing for the night, and an order was made transferring the accused to a safer locality. The exciting scenes attending his transfesr are thus detailed in a telegram to the Courier Journal [note Louisville] from this place: "Glasgow, Ky. Dec. 23. Booker Steenbergen is safe for the time being, but he had a close call this afternoon. Shortly after waiving examination this orning, friends and relatiaves of Annie Belle Steenbergen, the girl he is charged with murdering, began coming into town. They came eighteen or twenty miles or would have been here earlier. It was soon whispered around that Steenbergen would be lynched to-night, and there was no mistaking the temper of the men who were there, among whom were the father, several brother and uncles of the murdered girl. "Circuit Judge Jones was here, and realizing the danger of a mob to-night, made an order to transfer Steenbergen to jail in Louisville for safe keeping.

Those interested were evidentlynot suspecting anything of the kid, and were caught napping.

Dear List: Is there anything in the book 'Blood Runs In The Barren' about the murder of ALEXANDER MADISON SILVEY, who was murdered at Shobe Store, Hydro, Warren Co., KY., on June 3, 1866. He was buried on June 4, 1866 in the Totty Cemetery at the Junction of KY Hiway 1297 and Lawrence Road, Hydro, Warren Co., KY. The Totty Cemetery is about two tenths of a mile from Shobe Store. His tombstone reads 5th Ky Calvary, Company B. How was he murdered? By whom? Why? Was there a trial? Was there a newspaper article? Alexander is my Great-Grandfather, so therefore it is important to me that I know the rest of the story. Regards, Hebron Lawrence Smith Greentown, IN. hbrsm@sbcglobal.net
