Hi Bill and Inez, Did I send you my info on James Allen Stewart several months ago or not? I have some basic pages in the computer and after I printed those pages several months ago, I have made notes on several people but haven't typed them in. Most of what I gave about the Guthries was new. If I can ever get it all typed in, I will mail you a copy or I could copy it with the notes and mail you that. Some things I got at the library and some from Clayton Martin. Let me know if I never sent you any Stewart stuff. Emma Lee

Sarah Ellen Stewart Guthrie, wife of Richard Hope Guthrie, Sr. was the daughter of George Stewart and Philadelphia Pierce. George and Philadelphia were married in Spotsylvania, VA in 1808. Richard was the son of Samuel Guthrie and Betsy Hope. Richard and Sarah married Oct. 10, 1842 in Boyle Co. KY. Philadelphia "Delpha" is buried at Carpenter's Cemetery at the edge of Mercer and Boyle Counties. A brother of Sarah was James Allen Stewart (my line). There are a lot of his relatives left around Mercer and Boyle. He was my ggggrandfather on my mother's side and my gggrandfather on my father's side. Sarah was born Feb. 28, 1822 and died Feb. 7, 1916. Richard was born Dec. 1, 1821 and died May 13, 1911. I have census info from 1850, 1860, and 1880 for them. Two of their children, George Stewart Guthrie and Elizabeth Jane Guthrie areburied at Carpenter's. Rachel born after 1850 married Jacob Austin Carpenter and had three children: Mary Hope 1888, Nina 1883, and George Stuart 1885. Emma

GUTHRIE b abt 1830 in KY. I am not sure what county in KY, Henry L GUTHRIE was in in 1870, possibly Boyle. Henry L GUTHRIE was a brother to Rachel GUTHRIE b abt 1836 in KY, Rachel GUTHRIE m John WRIGHT, and they both died in 1864 - 1865, so their children were sent back to the GUTHRIE family in KY to be raised.

Does anyone know where Thomas TEVIS (1765 MD-1829 Madison Co., KY) and his wife Mary (Polly) McELFRESH TEVIS (1174 MD-?? KY) are buried. They lived in Madison Co. but I have been unable to find their graves there. Their daughter Sallie TEVIS HARBOUR is buried on private property in Redhouse, near Richmond with her husband Thomas Pendleton HARBOUR. Any help locating these graves would be greatly appreciated.

Kim, This is SPAM in its truest form. The spammer is actually Champ Mitchell, who sent the message. He hit several lists and several rootsweb sites, including USGenWeb, and RAOGK, among others. What was the date on the message? I know I got some over the weekend, and so did others, as reported on several of the mail lists. I think Rootsweb is adding filters so that messages from him don't get to any mail lists. First and foremost, I would suggest not replying to his message. Then, add him to your blocked senders list, and any future messages he tries to send will go straight to your deleted items folders.

Forwarded from the Blacksheep mail list, thought some of you might be interested. Even if you don't want to be "certified", I suspect each of would benefit from the lessons on researching/documenting. Original message: This is forwarded, I looked it over, and it appears to be straight forward and above board. Subject: Free Certification Class for Genealogists Something I would like to do this next year is give people who cannot afford it the opportunity to become certified genealogists by offering the Certification Class for Genealogists, free of charge. Please take advantage of it, if you are interested. For information about the class go http://www.rootsweb.com/~genclass/cert/cert.htm To begin, just start at http://www.rootsweb.com/~genclass/cert/month1/cert1_1.htm Change the last 1 to a 2, 3 and then 4 and you'll have the first months lessons. You 'must' turn in homework, which is what makes it different from the other classes. You are accountable for your work and will be given pointers on how to do things, if warranted.. And you must do the months in order, although they are totally free of charge, including the test at the end of the year. I look forward to hearing from each of you. -- Diana J.

Hi Ron, The cemetary name is Bellvue, but there is a section which is a National Cemetary for the military. Is that where Mr Tevis is buried? If it is they do have a book at the cemetary that lists the section and row where the people are buried. I live abt 5 miles south of Danville in Junction City KY. Also know where the cemetary in Hustonville is. It's close to the line but it is in Lincoln co. The library in Danville has a book listing all Boyle co cemetaries, I don't know if they hace one for Lincoln co. will look . Going this Sat. for another person will check out yours too.
