I am interested in finding out more abou the Highland Institute that was in Breathitt County from 1880 until it was incorporated into the School Systen in teh 1930's. It was a school and an orphanage. I am really trying to find the children of William Short and Symara Gilbert were supposedly placed in an institution of some sort after their parents died. The names were Louise Short, Edna Short Jessie Short, and Lurla Short. All 4 daughters of William Short and who died in 1912, at Athol, Ky. We don't know just when Symaria died. She is also listed as Samira or Smara and on the 1880 census of Owsley County was listed as Sonorah. William Short died in June 1912, and their son, Grover Cleveland died in Dec. 1912, both from TB. WILMA JOHNSON

Can anyone give me some more information about this couple? I have a death certif for Jennie and it lists her parents are Jim Dunaway and Nancy Barnett. He was several years older....was this a second marriage? Any children? Any help would be much appreciated. Marilyn Craig acmc@insightbb.com

Just finished rebuilding the pages of my website, added a lot of new individuals, completed some missing data, corrected some errors and changed the listings from a graphic to true text that retains the intended format with a color coding to indicate those that have photographs and/or documents. You can view my Breathitt County Wright, Davis and Cook cousins and tell me about cousins or relatives that I've missed; or just let me know what's wrong, or right, with the work that I've done. Be sure to check the credits page to find those that have provided so much help over the years. Of course if you have information that can fill some of the gaps it would be very, very welcome. To get there go to: http://www.s-vaughn.com at the bottom of the page click on the "Kinfolks" button. That will bring up another page which tells you a little about the site with a continue link, clicking the "Continue" brings up the main page. On that page there is a set of navigation buttons that will take you to the various family pages, plus additional pages with other information. At the bottom of each page is a set of navigation buttons that allows you to move around the site, or return to the s-vaughn.com main page. To send me an e-mail just click the "Contact" button, or the "Contact Sonny" link at the bottom of each page. I'm looking for suggestions to improve the site appearance, its page navigation or notes from living relatives. Thanks for your time, Sonny Vaughn
