Hi ~ I am looking for any documents on Richard Dallam who died in Butler Co., KY in 1820. Hopefully anything with his signature on it.. Like a will or land deed... Dallam migrated there to Kentucky from Harford County, Maryland. I am currently serving as the Genealogist General of the Hereditary Order of the Signers of the Bush Declaration. The Bush Declaration was signed on March 22, 1775 in Harford County, Maryland. One of its signers was Richard Dallam. The problem is there were two Richard's alive at the same time. I need to compare the signatures of both men to the signature to the Bush Declaration. Thanks, Christopher T.

Hi Everyone, I read a back article on Woodbury from "The Kentucky Explorer", from January 1995. It mentioned that Otto Reicing, pen name Paul Strahl had a book coming out within the next two years from the article. It was to be an historical novel based on the courtship of Thomas Hines and Nancy Spraule. Is anyone aware of this book? Anyone know the name? Thanks for any help you can offer! :) Shantell Ford ___________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker!

I'm still seeking information on any descendant of William EMBRY and Elizabeth LACEFIELD. In 1900 they lived in Butler County. The household consisted of William, 55, Elizabeth, 52, daughter Sardina, 17, granddaughters Manila EMBRY, 11, and Martha J. EMBRY, 9. William and Elizabeth still lived in Butler County in 1910. The granddaughters were gone, but they had a grandson, Emerson BURDEN, age six, so born about 1904. William and Elizabeth moved to Grayson County by 1920. Emerson was still with them, but listed as Emerson EMBRY. First question, does anyone know the identity of the parents of Manila EMBRY (born June 1888), Martha J. EMBRY (born Sept 1890), or Emerson BURDEN/EMBRY? Second question, does anyone know the death date or location of Elizabeth (LACEFIELD) EMBRY? Thanks much, Jo Wright www.kentuckykin.com

Attached is the 1910 census Butler Co. showing Albert A and Mandy E in the first Magisterial District, ED 34, Rochester Precinct. And you will find the marriage listed in the Butler Co., KY First Marriage book published by Jo Wright of Desert Roads Publications; [email protected] I think the price on the book is $29.00. The marriage is listed for Lon (Lou) Meadows and Amanda E. Render married on September 12, 1893, in Butler Co.. Hope this helps Beverly (Carroll)

I am looking for information in regard to Albert Alonzo Meadows and his wife Amanda Elizabeth Render. I have the Render side but am stuck on Albert. They must have married about 1894 as they are listed married 6 years in the 1900 Butler Co Ky census. I have seen him listed as Alonzo, Albert and Elonzo. I have seen him listed as Meadders. I am hoping to get a marriage record for him and figure out who his parents were. I am lost on his parental heritage. Any help appreciated. Vonny

I would like to contact any descendant of William Embry and Elizabeth Lacefield. William was the son of Talton Embry and Margaret Wilson. He died in 1926. Elizabeth was alive in 1920, but I found no death date or location for her, and no gravesite. If anyone, through Bible records, or family tradition, can tell me anything about the descendants of this couple, I would be very happy to learn of it. In 1900, two little girls lived with William and Elizabeth, listed as grandchilren. They were Manila Embry, age 11, and Martha L. Embry, age 9. Who and where were their parents? I found no further information about these two little girls. In 1910, grandson Emerson BURDEN (born about 1904) lived with William and Elizabeth in Butler County. In 1920, Emerson still lived with William and Elizabeth, in the Spring Lick area of Grayson County, but he was listed as Emerson EMBRY, a son. This would not be possible, given Elizabeth's age in 1904. Who were the parents of Emerson Burden, and what happened to them, and to him? I found no trace of Emerson Burden or Emerson Embry after the 1920 census. Any help will be appreciated. Jo

I have run across the new FTM called Family Tree Maker 2005 (details are at www.ftm2005.com) Does anyone have this version yet? It looks like they have done a lot of work redesigning this. Its fairly cheap, $30 for a full ver and $20 for the upgrade from 11. I have ver 9 so i would have to buy the full version. A re there any other programs out there that are as good or better than FTM? And is the new Ver worth the purchase price?

Site of remains of War of 1812 vets a mystery 08/05/04 By Charles Wolfe Associated Press FRANKFORT -- Archaeologists with radar equipment probed a cemetery Wednesday for something that has eluded generations of historians: the unmarked mass grave of 15 Kentuckians massacred during the War of 1812. "There have been historians who spent a lifetime trying to find out what happened to these remains," said John Trowbridge, director of the Kentucky Military History Museum, who was among those overseeing the project. Researchers are now banking that modern technology will yield an answer. Ground-penetrating radar, a device resembling a computerized baby buggy, was wheeled slowly around Kentucky's 1850 state battle monument in the center of the Frankfort Cemetery. David Pollack, a Kentucky Heritage Council archaeologist, said the radar detects subterranean "anomalies" that could indicate burial sites. Its data will be analyzed in a lab, possibly taking weeks, Pollack and others said. The 15 Kentuckians were among casualties of the Battle of Raisin River near present-day Monroe, Mich. Historians say they surrendered to British troops but were handed over to Indians and killed. Mutilated remains were strewn about but eventually buried in Detroit. They were finally returned to Kentucky, in a single box, about 1848. The anonymity of the final burial site has puzzled researchers. Newspapers of the period reported the remains being paraded through Cincinnati, then taken by boat across the Ohio River to Covington and placed in a vault in Linden Grove Cemetery. There they stayed until 1850, when the Kentucky General Assembly decreed that they should be interred as heroes in the "State Lot" of the Frankfort Cemetery. After that -- nothing. "It's a great mystery," said Jim Richardson, Frankfort Cemetery superintendent. Trowbridge speculated that one of the region's recurrent cholera scares may have prompted a quick burial with little or no ceremony and no permanent marking. "Basically they were just buried up here and forgotten about," he said. "They could be out here anywhere." Trowbridge also was looking for a casualty of the 1848 war with Mexico -- Lt. Joseph W. Powell of Kenton County, killed at the Battle of Buena Vista. Powell's name is carved high on the state battle monument. Trowbridge said Powell's body is known to have been among those brought back from Mexico for burial around the monument, but he has no marked grave. A 1909 photo shows a pair of headstones where there now is a sidewalk to the monument. "There's a good chance our young lieutenant is buried right here," Trowbridge said. Trowbridge, the driving force behind the project, said he was spurred as a historian by a desire for exactness and as a military veteran by a feeling that soldiers past should be honored in death. "I'd want someone to properly mark my grave," he said.

The following birth is recorded in Butler County, KY. A. W. Allison, a white female, was born alive in Butler County on 16 Dec 1878 to Robert Allison, born in Smith County, Tennessee, and M. T. Wagner, born in "Umfres" (Humphries) County, Tennessee. The family resided in Butler County. Robert Allison married Malinda Waggoner on 21 March 1869 in Smith County, Tennessee. I did not find this family in Butler, Muhlenberg or Ohio County in the 1880 census. But maybe someone, somewhere is looking for the birthplace of this daughter. Jo Wright kentuckykin.com

My name is Steven Smith. I have been on the Butler County list before, but changed e-mail accounts when I moved and laid off of all of my lists for a while.

I have been searching for my grandfather's twin information on the death. My grandfather James (Jimmy) McKinnley TURNER was born on Nov. 28, 1902 in McHenry, Ohio County, Kentucky. He was the first twin and according to information given to me by my relatives. The way the census ran he just missed the 1900 census and the twin had to of died sometime in-between that 1902 and the 1910. I cannot find a grave or any information on the twin. In the 1910 census on James, his twin was not listed and not on any other census. Twins seem to run in the family for in 1900 my grandparents had the first round of twins - Hary W. son, Dec 1899, age 5/12 Cory B, daughter, Dec 1899, age 5/12. Plus in this census it stated she had 5 children born and 4 living so which means she had another child that died. Hary and Cory were not on the 1910 census or any other census so I came to the conclusion that they too died sometime between 1900 and 1910 census. I have not been able to find any information on their deaths either twins or the other child that died. According to the census she had a total of 9 children with 4 that lived. It seems that in 1900 and 1910 one should be able to get death records or something for these chalderns deaths. I have tried to look for Antha (Anthy) TURNER and Galey TURNER and all the children that was born and died but cannot find them. Does anyone have any suggestions? God Bless Pam

Researching Davis family from Butler/Logan Counties. Eaton and Candis Bailey Davis came from North Carolina and settled in the area. It appears that Eaton may have married his sister in law (Eliza Baikley) after his wide's death in KY. He had a son who drives me crazy!! He goes my the first names of Alexander Sidney, Sidney Alexander, A S, and then on one census he is Andrew S. (Thank goodness his wife and children never change their first names. Eaton and his first wife are buried in the Davis Cemetery in Bulter County. If I remember there are just the two of them.. Alexander married Sarah C. Sweatt.. I find them up to 1900 cnesus and then they disappear. I can not find them on the death records in either county. Has anyone researched this Davis family??? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I am needing to find the correct father for a Vernon Kyle Eakins-- son of Angeline Keeton (md to James Gatewood). Vernon was born 1906, died 1943 in Henderson County, KY, due to a coal mining accident. His death record lists his father as Aubrey Eakins. I happen to have two-- born abt 1890-91, they would have been about 15 when they fathered Vernon, Angeline was perhaps the same age. The mystery is, to my knowledge my Eakins folks stayed pretty-well in the county they were born in, until after WWI-- and Butler CO is not a neighboring county to Henderson. But people did travel and visit then, as they do now. Are there any birth records of Butler County that would give more info on Vernon's parents-- like ages? And his parents could have married for awhile, but I rather doubt it. Angeline did marry abt 1908 to James Gatewood. She is with her family (Robert Keeton) in 1900, and Robert might have been her step-father. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Have a nice Memorial Day.
