I can't believe it. Just by coincidence, I was entering 1880 Census data of Mason Beagle and Mary Jane Parker of Campbell Co., KY (Moved to Morgan Co., ILL.) I was looking up the PARKER family history (such as I have) of Campbell Co. Here's an entry I have on Hedges Ferry: Campbell County Court Order book 5, page 129 May 1845--HENRY PARKER b 1808 was a neighbor of JESSE BEAGLEb 1812. They were working on a road from the mouth of 12 Mile Creek and Hedges ferry. (Henry Parker is on the 1850 Census for Campbell County.) MASON BEAGLE, brother of JESSE BEAGLE married Mary Jane Parker, sister of this Henry Parker. Their father, HOSEA or HASEY PARKER b ca. 1765 is mentioned in Court Order Books in the early years 1810-1830 on various road-surveying tasks along with neighbor THOMAS BEAGLE b. 1864. The 1883 Map of Campbell County has the location of the Beagle and Parker households on it. This "Elizabeth Beagle" designation on the map is the original homestead site of THOMAS BEAGLE in 1807. I am assuming the HEDGES FERRY was somewhere near the location of these two early properties. This is close to where Oneonta and California are now. I think Oneonta is what was originally called "12 Mile" but I am not positive. The 12 Mile Baptist Church is situated on the Washington Rd and on 12 mile Creek. The Beagle and Parker families were active members of this church started in 1818. Would also love to know more about the early ferried including Kennedy's ferry. These ran regularly across the river to OH side and many, many Campbell County families are found on BOTH sides of the river, including our own BEAGLE, BEAVER, and MITCHELL families from 1818 12 Mile Baptist Church. Sincerely, Karen Beagle PS I do believe in ESP, because I don't know how I would ever have come across this entry not more than two hrs ago about HEDGES FERRY, before seeing your e-mail.
