Hello i am looking for any info on the Corey and sexton families..i am looking for info on clarinda Corey who was the daughter of john Corey and Sallie Sexton..i have clarinda's date of birth as july 15, 1842..thank you Christie Sapp Bilky

Well, if I have been paying attention to my sources a bit I'd have noticed that young 4 year old Laura Anderson living with William and Jane (Anderson) Woodard on the 1870 census was listed as Laura Anderson age 13 on the 1880 census AND listed as a Grand Daughter to Jane. That takes care of one of them!! William and Jane only had one daughter that I know of. Sarah J. Woodard...that means she married an Anderson if Laura is Jane Woodard's Grand Daughter. The rest of the grand Kids would be Woodard's thru the sons. anyone know??? Donna in MD

Merry Christmas Everyone. Well Christmas Day has wound down. Companies left. Kitchen is cleaned. And I'm taking a break and looking thru the 1870 Bath Co. Census at my Woodard relatives. 1870 Federal Census, KY., Bath Co., Wyoming Precinct, Roll M593_446, Sheet 116, Pg. 9, Post Office: Wyoming Woodard, William B. 59 M W Farmer born KY (1880 & 1850 both say VA) -------------, Jane 55 F W Keeping House KY ( (1880 & 1850 both say VA) -------------, John T. 20 M W Works on Farm born KY Anderson, Elizabeth 40 F W House Help born KY -------------, Margaret 29 F W House Help born KY -------------, Sara F. 22 F W born KY Blind -------------, John ? 4 M W born KY -------------, Laura A. F W 4 born KY -------------, James Asbery 10 M W born KY William B and Jane Woodard are my 3rd Gr Grandparents. John T. is their son John Turner Woodard who married Frances Isabella Vice. Jane Woodard was an Anderson by birth. Information on their marriage from the Bath Co., KY Library...lists her as daughter of Ezekiel and Margaret Anderson. Janes sister Sarah Anderson married William B.'s brother John W. Woodard. Now, I think the Elizabeth Anderson listed living with them age 40 is Jane and Sarah's sister. I found her listed with her parents Ezekiel and Margaret Anderson on 1st District, Rell No. M432_191, Enumerated July 29th by J.A. Trumbo, Line 16, Dwelling No. 163, Family No. 163. But, if it is their sister then who are the other Anderson's listed living with William B. Woodard? They have to be related to his wife Jane Anderson. Does anyone know? Thank you and have a Happy New Year also!! Donna in MD

Hello Listers... I'm looking for the ancestors of WILLS, George, b. 1801 in Montgomery Co, KY; d. 1888 in Willsburg, OR; m. MOORE, Sarah Jane in 1820 in Bath County, KY (Sarah Jane b. 1804 in Mercer Co, KY; d. 1886 Willsburg, OR). We have absolutely no info on George Wills' parents or any siblings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays to All! Lois in Auburn, CA

Looking for the marriage date of Kirby Smith Denton - the first in the 1890 timeframe and another around 1909. Thanks Jackie

Seeking info on Scott Wolfsenbarger and his wife, Roxie Ann Keaton. They appeared in the 1910 Census in Owingsville, but could not find them in the 1920 Census. I believe Roxie died in Bath County on 1 Nov 1921, so should have been in the 1920 Census. Any help will be appreciated. Frank

Hi All, I found her... with a little help from my friends <grin> !!! A fellow researcher found her on familysearch.com in the 1880 census of Morgan County. Her name was Lula but the census of 1880 called her "Lou". Middle initial "E" lines up as well as her birth Year. As I worked into it.... I discovered that Lula was the first cousin once removed of Vollie Katherine Kilgore. As you might remember, Kate is the wife of A.B. "Alpha Bascomb" McKinney, my Grandfather's brother. That's probably how my Grandfather, Bert McKinney met her. I further found out that Silas Pieratt, Lula's Father, served in the Civil War and had applied for a pension. He was on the Confederate side... going back further..... would you believe it.... Lula ties directly into our Carter line.... Joseph Carter the IV. As I mentioned before, Bert and Lula had no children because she was sick and died of T.B. However, my cousin Evelyn McKinney in Florida told me once that her Father, Osmund McKinney (Bert's son by his first wife Addie Nickell) remembered Lula. He remembered that he did not like her because she made him and his brother Morris sit in the corner <grin>. Lula died within a year after marrying Bert McKinney. I think this makes Bert a "romantic" or a "fatalist".... he knew she would die but married her anyway even though HE could have gotten the disease or his then two boys by Addie M. Nickell could have contracted the disease as well but they still wed. I now need to find out WHERE they were married and WHERE she is buried. Lula died on the 12 Apr 1907 in Bath Co. I got much of this information from the data sheet that was inscribed inside the Bert McKinney family Bible which is in the possession of Edna Sparks McKinney wife to Roger McKinney, Bert's oldest son through his third wife, Amy Bailey. On this sheet it gives Berts' second wife as "Lula E. Pieratt" and the sparse data on her. >From the online research we learn that Lula' parents were: Silas Pieratt and Eliza Jane Oakley Silas had EIGHT children one of which is our Lula... born abt 1880, Grassy, Morgan Co., Kentucky. Silas's parents were John McKinley Pieratt and Anna Maxey. John Pieratt had NINE children. It is interesting to note that Eli Pieratt, second oldest son to John McKinley Pieratt owned about 1200 acres of land in the Ezel, Morgan Co., Kentucky area. He gave each of his sons 200 acres each and the daughters 150 acres each. When the post office was given to the community, Eli was called on to run the post office. It was Eli who chose the name Ezel for Ezel, Kentucky, taking it from the 20th Chapter of First Samuel, "by the stone Ezel". Eli Pieratt also gave the land on which the first church was built. The church standing on the site in (1986) is the third church built on the same site. The original pews are still in use. The bell in the first church came from England. Thomas, the oldest son of John McKinley Pieratt and Elizabeth, settled in Morgan County, Kentucky, near Maytown, Kentucky on the Little Blackwater. It is believed that they owned the farm where the PIERATT CEMETERY is located. Per their great-granddaughter, Ida Mae Pieratt. It is here that I shall look for the burying ground of Lula and her immediate family. Can you begin to see how close all these families were?? It is interesting to note that while on a Genealogy trip to Morgan county to find our Carters and McKinneys, I found A.B.'s son buried at Grassy Lick Cemetery in Morgan County. As you may recall A.B.'s son was killed in a fire. Clemens Ray McKinney is buried very close to Virginia Jane Carter, Great Grandmother to Bert McKinney. Now to tie in A.B.'s wives line to the PIERATT's.... Vollie Katherine Kilgore was where I had stopped. Her lineage was of no concern all these years to me until a fellow researcher pointed out that Kate's family line was tied into the PIERATT's.... WHAT...!! Vollie Kate Kilgores parents are: Joseph Dudley Kilgore AND Francis Elizabeth PIERATT.... well... I'll be..... there it was. No wonder that A.B. named his daughter Francis Elizabeth McKinney... it was after his wifes mother's name. Elizabeth McKinney grew up and married William Layne... a Mayor in Morehead who also ran a clothing store on Main street in Morehead.... and I knew them both. I remember when Elizabeth died of cancer... I was living in Morehead at the time and have her obit. A.B. McKinney was in business with Bert, his brother, in 1915. They had a Morehead, Kentucky Hardware Co. on Main Street and A.B. McKinney would later build the McKINNEY building on main street that stands today on the south side of Main Street across from Wilson Ave. Now, Joseph D. Kilgore and Francis E. Pieratt has two children... both girls. Francis Elizabeth Pieratt's parents are John Pieratt and Margaret E. CARTER.... John Pieratt's parents are John McKinley PIERATT and Anna Maxey... so there you see how Bert McKinney and A.B. McKinney (brothers) both married women who were PIERATT cousins.... namely "first cousins once removed". But it gets better into our CARTER line.... Margaret E. Carter's parents were .....Joseph Carter the IVth and Elizabeth Ann Scott. Joseph Carter IV's parents are JOSEPH CARTER III and his wife Magdalene Salle CHASTAIN. Joseph and Magdalene had TEN children and the very youngest was VIRGINIA JANE CARTER.... who married Joseph McKinney the Great grandfather of Bert McKinney and therefore MY direct line.... how bout them apples!!! We have McKinneys, Carters, Pieratts, Chastains, and even Nickells associated families... Remember that Bert's first wife was Addie Myrtle NICKELL, the mother of Morris and Osmund McKinney. This leads to an interesting question.... wonder how Bert met Lula.... maybe through A.B. or perhaps A.B.'s wife Kate who was a first cousin to Lula.... this has been very interesting.... and I have much more to plug in today on this ole laptop..... Willing to share.... Thanks again to Sharon Karns for her insight... sometimes it takes someone outside the circle to step back and put it all together.... Sharon was helping me up till about 1 AM last night over the internet and kept sending data she was finding and I was tying it all together.... Anyone want to help me find where she is buried??

I am not really a Pieratt researcher, but I do have an Elizabeth Pieratt (or Perrat) as the first wife of George Washington Goodpaster (or Goodpasture). I am descended from his second wife, Elizabeth Oakley. I have a reference to Elizabeth Pierratt's parents from a Biographical sketch of George W. Goodpaster from "Kentucky: A History of the State" (6th ed., 1887) by Perrin, Battle & Kniffin (also posted 12 December 1999 on U.S. Biographies Project) as follows: "He was married in 1833 to Elizabeth Pieratt, of Bath County, daughter of James and Sarah (Tipton) Pieratt, natives, respectively, of Bath and Estill Counties. No children were born to this union. Mrs. Goodpaster died soon after marriage ..." This is from my database: GEORGE* WASHINGTON GOODPASTER was born 05 Feb 1812 in Bath Co., KY, and died 18 Apr 1900 in Montgomery Co., KY. He married (1) ELIZABETH PIERATT 18 Oct 1833 in Bath Co., KY, daughter of JAMES PIERATT and SARAH TIPTON. She was born in Bath Co., KY, and died Feb 1834 in Bath Co., KY. They had no children. He married (2) ELIZABETH* OAKLEY 26 Apr 1838 in Morgan Co., KY, daughter of JOHN* OAKLEY and MARGARET* LEWIS. She was born 23 Dec 1817 in West Liberty, Morgan Co., KY, and died 1863 in Montgomery Co., KY. They had eight children. He married (3) ELIZABETH A. AMYX 18 Nov 1864 in Morgan Co., KY, daughter of JOSEPH AMYX and FRANCES NICKELL. She was born 08 Nov 1842 in Morgan Co., KY, and died 30 Sep 1887 in Montgomery Co., KY. They had five children. I have no idea if this is a connection to your Pieratt, but I hope it helps some.

Hello: I am new to the list. I am researching Graysons of Bath/Menifee/Fleming Co. My GG Grandfather, George W. Grayson (1844-1923). His parents, John Grayson (1825-?) and Mary Igo were from Bath Co. John's parents, Joshua Grayson and Polly Carah, got married in Bath Co. in 1823. There were earlier Graysons in Bath Co. and I'm trying desperately to collect any/all information on Graysons. Any assistance would be appreciated! Matt Grayson Lexington, KY

I am trying to find the relationship (if any) between the DeBoard (Debord) family and the Andrew Jackson Suttle family. Andrew Jackson Suttle (b. ca. 1823) married Nancy Caroline Carpenter on 28 Nov 1849. He had a twin sister named Judy who married Shelby Carpenter (brother to Nancy). Family lore indicates that possibly the mother of A. J. & Judy Suttle may have been a DeBoard. But other than some graves in the DeBoard Cemetery (in which A. J. Suttle, his wife and two daughters are buried), the only DeBoard information I can find is in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 Bath Co Census (1870 & 1880 Census not yet researched). The KY Hist. Society Cemetery database found at <http://catalog.kyhistory.org/help/Cem_Database_Intro.htm> shows the known graves of the DeBoard Cemetery. It has one know error - a "G. W. DeBoard" is shown as "C. W. DeBoard". Two of the graves in the DeBoard Cemetery are for persons shown in the census -- Franklin DeBoard and Rhoda Howard. Another, G. W. DeBoard seems to be a brother or cousin of Franklin. A fourth grave (Mary A. Kountz) appears to be a probable sister of Franklin and/or G. W. The remaining graves are for A.J. Suttle and his wife, Nancy and their daughters: Elizabeth (and her husband Charle Conley) and Amanda C. Thanks.

I am trying to find a number of Carpenter connections. One is whether Squire Carpenter and Michael Carpenter are related and if so, how. Also, are they related to John Carpenter and Absolem/Abner/Ab Carpenter shown on the 1850 census? Also I am trying to find the connection (if any) between Nancy Caroline (Carpenter) Suttle [married Andrew Jackson Suttle] and Shelby Carpenter [married Judy Suttle sister of A. J.]. I am fairly sure that Shelby is the son of Squire & Elizabeth (Smith) Carpenter. But who is Nancy Caroline's father. One refernce says that Nancy Caroline is the daughter of Manuel Carpenter, but I cannot find any proof of that. Nor can I find Manuel Carpenter in any Bath County Census. Is Manuel a nickname -- maybe short for Emmanuel? Thanks.

Several years ago when my cousin's and I were in Carlisle, there was a man who owned the drug store [I think it was the drug store] who was a Myers or related to the Myers. It seems like he was adopted into the Myers family. Does anyone know this man? What Myers line did he come from? He was into genealogy many years ago I guess but wasn't interested in talking with us when we were there. I am still trying to find any info on Edgar Myers who was the son of Lindsey Myers. Any replies most appreciated. Jane in Idaho
