JANE MAXWELL PATTERSON. This aged and most estimable lady was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, in the month of February, 1800. In 1816 or 1817 she came with her mother and step-father, John McCune, to Pike county, Missouri, and settled on the place long known as the old McCune farm, but now owned and occupied by Mrs. Julia Munn. But a few years after coming to the state she was married to John Patterson with whom she continued to live until his death, some twelve or fourteen years ago. At the time of her marriage she moved to her husband’s house, about a half-mile from her step-father’s house and here she has continued to reside ever since. She has had ten children, four boys and six girls, seven of whom are still living, and settled for the most part within the same neighborhood with herself. Much of the attention necessary to the well-being of the family devolved upon her, and this duty, together with all the other duties of a good wife and an affectionate mother, was well and faithfully performed. When she moved to her present home there were but few settlers in this portion of the county, or indeed in the whole county, and the neighbors were few and frequently at a great distance from each other. But these trying circumstances so far from discouraging her only tended to strengthen her determination of constantly laboring for the good of her family. For about sixty years she has lived upon the same farm, and has seen the heavy forests transformed into smiling fields and the virgin earth made to yield its treasures to the labor of the industrious farmer. Her neighbors, who after a few years became much more numerous, have come as settlers and have passed away to that land from whose bourne no traveler has ever yet returned. Still she lives on, the same kind, hospitable and devoted woman that she was sixty years ago, when she first assumed the duties of the wife and mother. She has been an affectionate mother, a good neighbor, a true friend, and a Samaritan indeed to very many who owe much, almost life itself, to her watchful care and unselfish assistance. For about sixty years she has been an earnest and devoted member of the Baptist Church, and even at her advanced age loses no opportunity of attending upon the means of grace. Mrs. Patterson is one of the best known women in the portion of the county where she resides, and has the esteem and affectionate regard of all the people of that part of the county. Her life has been a very active one and correspondingly useful and happy. She is at this time a little crippled from the effects of a recent fall from a buggy, but her general health appears to be very good and the probabilities are favorable for her surviving for quite a number of years to come. May they be years free from pain, and filled with the sunshine of happy old age.

Livingston Co. ISAAC LINSLEY was born April 26, 1855, in Livingston County, and is a son of Dr. Thomas and Maria M. Linley. The Linleys were English people; subject’s grandfather, Joseph Linley, came from the “Old Country” in an early day, and settled in Lewis County, Ky. He was a skillful mechanic, and in his native country worked at the cutler’s trade. After coming to America he engaged in the blacksmithing trade, which he followed for many years.

My deepest thanks to Mary Hatton and Suzanne Shepherd for the following: As explained by Mary Hatton: "Kentucky started keeping birth and death records in 1852, stopped in 1862, started again in 1874, but didn't get serious about it until 1 January 1911. Before that date, births and deaths were recorded at the county level and copies were forwarded to the state once a year. Surviving birth records are mostly for the years 1852-1861, 1874-1879 and 1900-1910. Because of official indifference and neglect, no records are extant for many of the years before 1911. People lacking official certificates could file delayed birth certificates with the state. This became common starting around 1940 due to the requirements of Social Security and military service. According to Roseann Hogan, "Kentuckians have filed over a half-million of these delayed certificates... Social Security, for a time, accepted completed certificates that were not filed with the Department of Vital Statistics in Frankfort. Therefore, it is possible, that even if no official certificate can be found in Frankfort, a certificate may have been filed with Social Security or other government agencies." (Kentucky Ancestry, page 79) Delayed birth certificates contain name, date of birth, place of birth, sex, race, parents' names, ages, etc. similar to regular birth certificates. Plus two older witnesses, one related one unrelated. In Kentucky, the Department of Vital Statistics has most of the delayed birth certificates. There is an index on microfiche which can only be consulted at the Department. So far I have been unable to acquire a copy. The Kentucky Historical Society also has 45 rolls of microfilmed delayed birth certificates. According to Ms. Hogan KHS also has an index (I haven't seen this one). My impression, gathered from searching for Owsley County birth records, is that there is no single index to all the delayed birth certificates and that the KHS rolls are not included in the VS microfiche. I have no idea what Social Security has done with their certificates. This book is based on the computerized index from the Kentucky Health Data Branch. None of these 45,000 entries seem to be in the KHS rolls or the VS microfiche?!? This index has name, date of birth, county, mother's maiden name, volume & certificate number. Copies of certificates may be ordered from the Department of Vital Statistics, 275 Main St., Frankfort KY 40601. Cost is $9 each." Now - from Sandi: I am going to tackle posting all of these names with related information on the KYRESEARCH list. I have not yet decided if I'll do them in straight alphabetical order or alphabetically by county. It will take a long time and I might intersperse these with other researching tips. If you have not yet subscribed to KYRESEARCH you might like to. No charge of course. To subscribe send an email to KYRESEARCH-REQUEST@rootsweb.com. Just put the word subscribe in the subject line and in the body of the email as usual - nothing else. I post once a week (normally Thursday). The list does not take queries so this is the only post you will receive weekly. I am thrilled to pass on this information to you. There are surnames on this list that I know many of you are researching.

NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 11219 HOPKINS CO – MARY ELIZABETH HOFFMAN – Hoffman, Winstead, Harrelson, Root 11219 History of Kentucky, The Blue Grass State. Volume IV Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928, pp. 135-36. Mary Elizabeth Hoffman, better known as Beth Hoffman, has the distinction of being the first woman elected to the office of clerk of the circuit court in the county of Hopkins and one of the first in the state of Kentucky. Prior to her election in 1921 she served six years as deputy circuit clerk and one year as deputy county clerk. Miss Hoffman is the second daughter of Dr. William Henry and Sally (Winstead) Hoffman. The former, a dentist, was born in Nebo, Kentucky, November 5, 1848, and passed away at his home in Rochester, Kentucky, August 6, 1912. He was a man of ready wit and humor and made friends with all he met. The greater part of his life was spent in Madisonville in the practice of his profession, and in later years he moved to Rochester, Kentucky, which is located on Green river, this being the drawing card for the Doctor as he was quite fond of fishing. He very often said that fishing was his profession and dentistry his recreation. He was a democrat in political belief and a member of the Christian church in religious belief, of which church he was a deacon for many years. His father, Christian Stover Hoffman, was born in Virginia, and came to Nebo, Kentucky when a young man as a teacher. He organized the C. S. Hoffman Masonic lodge of Nebo, which still bears his name. He was married to Elishaba Temperance Harrelson of Nebo, Kentucky. His father was Capt. Andrew Jackson Hoffman of Revolutionary war fame. Sallie (Winstead) Hoffman, a daughter of Alexander Franklin Winstead and Susan Josephine (Root) Winstead, was born in Nebo, Kentucky, November 24, 1872, and is now serving in the capacity of deputy circuit clerk in the office of her daughter. She is a democrat and a member of the Christian church. She is also a charter member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Chapter No 390, in Madisonville, Kentucky, and past worthy matron of said order. Her father, Alexander Franklin Winstead, at one time served as sheriff of Hopkins county. Miss Beth Hoffman was born in Madisonville, Kentucky, July 27, 1895. She attended the private and graded schools in Madisonville for a period of five or six years when, with her family, she moved to Rochester, Kentucky, where she received a diploma from the high school. After her father’s death and after a short term in the department of music in the State Normal School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, she returned to Madisonville with her mother and sister to take up her above in the old home town. After a course in business she became deputy county clerk, which became the stepping stone to her present position of circuit court clerk. In this capacity Miss Hoffman has won many stanch friends throughout the county and state. She is both courteous and efficient, being declared by many to be one of the best circuit court clerks the county has ever known. She is gentle, reserved and possesses a fine sense of humor, all of which go far toward making her charming and winning personality. Like many of her ancestors, she, too, is a democrat and a member of the Christian church and is quite active in the progressive affairs of the community.

NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 11218 MONTGOMERY CO – Judge ANDREW FORGEY – Forgey, Gaines, Lindsey, Stone, Philips, 11218 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, p. 596. Montgomery Co KY. Judge Andrews Forgey (deceased). The subject of our sketch was one of the oldest and best known citizens of Pike county; was born in Montgomery county, Kentucky, on the 8th day of November, 1799, but in early life removed with his parents to Bourbon county, Kentucky, where he attained his majority; in the fall of 1820 he came to Pike county, Missouri, and after remaining about thirteen months returned to Kentucky and remained for a period of two years, when he again removed to Missouri, leaving his Kentucky home on the 3d day of October, 1823, and settled on the farm at Paynesville where he resided during the remainder of his life. Judge Forgey was first married to Mrs. Mary A. Lindsey, whose maiden name was Mary A. Gaines, September 3d, 1823, just one month previous to his departure for his new and distant western home. With his wife he continued, in the language of his own diary, to live contentedly and happily for a period of over forty-seven years. From this union were three children, all sons: William A., John E., and Thomas J. Forgey, all of whom still survive. Two of them still live in the township where their father long resided, and the other, T. J., has for several years been actively engaged in business in the city of St. Louis. Having lost his wife, in July, 1870, Judge Forgey was subsequently married to Mrs. Margaret Stone, whose maiden name was Margaret Philips, a daughter of Judge Gabriel Philips, of Pike county. Mrs. Forgey still resides on the premises which were left her by her affectionate and considerate husband. As early as 1838 Mr. Forgey received the appointment of magistrate, which position he held during a term of two years, and in 1842 he was elected judge of the county courts for four years and was afterwards twice re-elected with increasing majorities, thus holding the important position for a period of twelve years, when he refused again, accept their proffered suffrages. After his official service he retired to his farm, though he continued merchandising, in which business he had been engaged for many years, until about the year 1868. In 1861 he met with a heavy loss by fire, losing his store house and goods to the amount of ten thousand dollars. Judge Forgey was a man of powerful physical constitution, of prompt and ready action, of great prudence and personal and moral courage, and these qualities well fitted him for the arduous duties of a frontiersman, while his industrious and temperate habits, together with his systematic economy, contributed very largely in the accumulation of the large means he was afterwards able to control. As may be inferred from the above Judge Forgey was strictly a self-made man, with limited common school education. He was enabled, by the exercise of a sound and consummate judgment, to fill places of trust and responsibility. Without assistance he was enable, by his own persistence and self-reliance, to carve his own fortune out of his surroundings. Judge Forgey became a member of the M. E. Church on the 11th of October, 1818, and was, for a period of almost sixty-four years, and until his death, an exemplary and consistent member. He died June 7, 1882, mourned by his own family as a tender and generous husband and a kind and affectionate father, and by the people of the village, the township, and the county, as an upright and enterprising citizen, a conscientious and dignified Christian gentleman, and as a generous and cheerful contributor to every deserving enterprise; gave freely of his own personal means to every object deserving assistance and to every deserving object of charity. To furnish a school for the education of the children of the community he contributed liberally to the building of the Forgey Seminary, which, from his liberality took his name. He gave freely to all church enterprises, and a few houses of worship have been erected within a large area of Pike county to which he has not largely contributed. Unbiased and courteous in his treatment of his fellow men, upright and conscientious in the discharge of every duty, Judge Forgey always received and maintained the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, and when he passed away he left behind a memory fragrant with the esteem of the entire community.
