In addition, you will find Hoggs, Smiths, Grahams, and Boyds (my particular line). They travel together, live near one another, and marry one another. I know the connection will probably prove the parentage of my John Sterett much better than the assumption of Alexander as claimed in T. Woods Sterett's book. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

On CD " Early Kentucky Records" I found. Scott Co. Will Book A Sterett, James, settlement. Nov. 1794. John Sterett, Admr. Could this have been our John? He would only have been 15.Do you think James was his father or brother? David, I believe that this James and John Sterett are brothers. I believe that this John is the father of our John Sterett as there is some records that show our John was called "young John Sterett." > Was Sarah that married Robert Hogg his sister?

Newland 33, I assume his stepson. Cynthia E. Crawford was the last wife and widow of William G. Boyd. She collected his pension from the War of 1812. I know little about William G.'s marriage to Nancy Shannon. However, I do know that he did, in fact, marry a Newland before his marriage to Jane Liggett, the widow of Robert Newland. James Newland was his stepson. William G. and Jane had several children together: Columbia Boyd (who married William H. Diggs), Robert Liggett Boyd, and Celeste Boyd (who married Dr. Green B. Sterett, son of John and brother of Baird). It is from Green and Celeste that I descend. Interestingly, as your line has proliferated the John Hardin Sterett name. Our line has given us several clues (I call it "name-mapping") to work with ---- my great-grandfather was William Liggett Sterett and my grandfather was James Boyd Sterett. Hence, I know that William and James were additional family names. Even William's other children were named for relatives: Jennye McClure Sterett, Columbia Diggs Sterett, Sarah Buchanan Sterett, Celeste Boyd Sterett, Charles Green Sterett, and my James. > > I hope you can make sense of these ramblings. > Dave > ______________________________ > > X-Message: #4 > Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 16:54:31 -0400 > From: "Joseph Smith" <revjmsmith@gmail.com> > To: KYBRECKI-L@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <6655204e0606041354k727d1f0bpccd515366a4ed214@mail.gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [KYBRECKI] Re: KYBRECKI-D Digest V06 #101 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > John Sterett is my ggggrandfather, via his son Baird, then Baird's daughter, > Sally De Haven Sterett Moorman.

Interestingly, all of John Sterett's sons were named: William Green Sterett, Green B. Sterett, and Baird Sterett. Grandsons even include one William G.B. (William Green Baird) Sterett. It is easier to make the Smith/Sterett connection as the first entry in the Sterett family Bible was Martha who married a Smith. I believe she is John's older sister.

I have heard this story too!
