These divisions or districts or precints seemed to change names every 10 years as the census records reflect... As far as names in Caldwell go, where did BUCKSNORT district come from??? or in 1860, Burnesville Division..Long Pond Division..Pollards Tan Yard Division??? These were just names that the counties assigned to a district in Caldwell... Maybe someone else on the list can enlighten us on this subjct..

>From the History Channel website: Family Tree : Tracing your family's roots is an exciting and fun exercise in personal history. It used to be that filling in branches of a family tree was often impossible or would take years of research, but now it's much easier thanks to internet databases. Follow professional and amateur genealogists as they reach back through time to discover a fascinating personal history. Actor William Baldwin traces his family's roots back to 1638. Screenwriter Randall Wallace's interest in learning about his Scottish surname becomes an important factor to inspiring him to write the screenplay of Braveheart. African-American Rohulamin Quander unlocks his family's history by discovering the evolution of his name. DNA testing has also become critical to clearing up facts about kinship mysteries, such as whether Thomas Jefferson fathered slave descendants, and whether or not Queen Victoria was illegitimate.

Can anyone tell me if there is a kinship connection between the Wells Griffith, married to Elizabeth (the father of Jeptha, William, John, Phebe, Sally, Hiram, Henry W., and Winfrey) who died in 1832 in Caldwell Co. and the Eli Griffith, married to Patsy Cook (father of Jason Jonathan, Asenath, and Edith) who died sometime after 1830 probably in Caldwell Co.? Does anyone have any evidence that these two men were brothers or cousins or connected in any way? I will greatly appreciate any information that anyone can give me! Regards, Betty Ravenholt

TIP#52 - JOHN HUNT MORGAN DIDN'T DO IT ALL; COUNTY HOLDINGS - GALLATIN THROUGH GREENUP (c) 1997 by Sandi Gorin I recently saw an article reprinted from the Paducah Sun- Democrat-not dated. But thought it might be of interest to the readers. This was reprinted in an Edmonson Co KY quarterly entitled "Echoes From Edmonson County" by by Kathie Rajewich: "Confederates Torched a Dozen .. 22 Courthouses Burned in Kentucky During the Civil War." Written by Hall Allen. "Twenty-two Kentucky Courthouses were burned during the Civil War-19 of them in the last 15 months of the conflict. "The Kentucky Historical Highway Marker Program, under the direction of W. A. Wentworth, Frankfort, has just finished placing markers of the historic sites. "One side of the marker tells of the buring at at that paraticular place, and the other contains a map of Kentucky, showing the locations of all the burnings. "The greatest 'courthouse burning spree' was conducted by Gen. Hylan B. Lyon, a native of Eddyville. He invaded Kentucky with 800 men in December, 1864, to recruit Confederate soldiers, securing supplies and divert forces from the defense of Nashville which was under attack. "With Confederate fortunes fading rapidly, Lyon found recruiting slow, and he undertook to enforce the Confederate Draft Law. In several towns he conscripted all able-bodied men and put them under oath to join him on Jan. 20. Later he complained bitterly that all failed to show up for induction. "Lyon's forces entered the state about Dec. 12th, and promptly burned the Christian County courthouse at Hopkinsville. As in most cases, he allowed officials to remove their records. After commandearing clothing and other supplies, he moved tdo Cadiz on Dec. 13. "The Trigg County courthouse there was occupied by Union soldiers who fled as the Confederate forces advanced. They left behind one soldier who was too ill to travel. A member of Lyon's command promptly decided the soldier was suffering from smallpox, shot him on the spot, and burned the "contaminated" building. "The following day Lyon reached Eddyville, his home town. He routed the Union troops but spared the courthouse because it was across the street from his home and a member of his family was reported to be ill in the home. "The other courthouses burned by Lyon and his men: CALDWELL COUNTY: Lyon and his forces arrived at Princeton on Dec. 15 whre, as the general said in a report, "I burned the courthouse and annoyed the people." HOPKINS COUNTY: At Madisonville, on Dec. 17, Lyon's men burned the courthouse and conscripted a number of men who failed to join him later. OHIO COUNTY: On Dec. 20, Lyon's forces captured and paroled a group of Union soldiers quartered in the courthouse at Hartford. Then he burned the courthouse. GRAYSON COUNTY: On Christmas Eve a contingent of Lyon's forces burned the court house at Leitchfield. TAYLOR COUNTY: The courthouse at Campbellsville was burned Christmas Day. By this time desertions had reduced his forces to about 250 men and Lyon started moving out of the state to rejoin Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's command. CUMBERLAND COUNTY: The Lyon raids ended at Burkesville on Jan. 3, with the burning of the courthouse, robbery of stores and seizure of the houses. Lyon then moved south to Alabama. "Other courthouses burned during the Civil War: BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY: On Dec, 28, 1864, guerillas burned the courthouse at Hardinsburg but citizens saved the records and a part of the building. MARION COUNTY:The County Clerk's office at Lebanon was burned July 5, 1863, by Gen. John Hunt Morgan, to destroy treason indictments against some of his men. MONTGOMERY COUNTY: Confederate cavalrymen burned the Mt. Sterling courthouse Dec. 2, 1863, to prevent its use as a Union garrison. POWELL COUNTY: In the spring of 1863 guerrillas burned the courthouse and other buildings at Stanton. HARLAN COUNTY: In October, 1863, the courthouse at Harlan was burned for reprisal for the burning of the Lee County, Va. courthouse. DAVIESS COUNTY: Courthouse at Owensboro burned by guerrillas on Jan. 4, 1865, while it was being occupied by Union troops. LARUE COUNTY: The courthouse at Hodgenville was burned by guerrillas on Feg. 21, 1865. It had been used by Union soldiers as barracks. BATH COUNTY: On March 21, 1864, Union troops fled the courthouse at Owingsville as a Confederate force approached. An overheated stove started a fire, destroying the building. MONROE COUNTY: The courthousse and other buildings at Tompkinsville were burned by Confederates on April 22, 1863, in reprisal for burning in Celina, Tenn. by Union forces. CLINTON COUNTY: The courthouse at Albany was burned by guerrillas late in 1864. CRITTENDEN COUNTY: The courthouse at Marion was burned by guerrillas in January, 1865. ROWAN COUNTY: The courthouse at Morehead was burned by guerrillas March 21, 1864." \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo-(_)-oOOo----McGillekehr ********************************************************************** *****Your kygenweb homepages are***** CALDWELL http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/caldwell.html LYON http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/lyon.html TRIGG http://www.kyseeker.com/trigg/index.html **********************************************************************

I hope you will take time to read this article and become part of "making this happen." ___________________________________________________________________ "MAKE FAMILY HISTORY MONTH HAPPEN!" by George G. Morgan ("Along Those Lines . . .") Family History Month is not a "done deal" yet. Congress is off on its annual summer vacation and a recent search of the Thomas Web site reveals that no such resolution has yet been introduced. In order to declare October "Family History Month" beginning this year, the resolution must be introduced, passed, and signed. It is almost September and much work still needs to be done. George discusses how Family History Month can benefit you and your research, and what we can do to make it happen. He includes sample letter for readers to send in to legislators in Washington. <http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/4468.asp> REPRINT POLICY: We encourage the circulation of the Ancestry Daily News via non- profit newsletters and lists providing that you credit the author, include any copyright information (Copyright © 1998-2001, MyFamily.com Inc. and its subsidiaries.), and cite the "Ancestry Daily News" (http://www.ancestry.com/dailynews) as the source, so that others can learn about our free newsletter as well.

I hated to miss the reunion and kept thinking I was going to come right up to the week before, when I had to realize I just couldn't make it. Hopefully, next year. Vicki
