Hello, I am in the middle of planning for a research trip for next week and I have come to a standstill regarding research in Carter County. I have seen in the KyCarter archives a few postings about one in Grayson but I can't seem to get any information about it. Is there a historical association with a physical location or should I plan to do my Carter County research at the Kentucky Historical Society? I appreciate any and all feedback about this. Rochelle

I have just read a reference that says Martillus (Marcellus) Patton was in Carter county in 1880. Does anyone have access to an index and lookup a reference for me? His wife is Susan and they are suppose to have a grandson James L living with them in 1880. I appreciate any help you can give me. Diane

I have been searching for a Ellen Patton who married a James Boggs, anyone have her? ---------- > From: Steve & Diane Bollschweiler <boshy@iname.com> > To: KYCARTER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [KYCARTER-L] Patton Family of Carter County > Date: Friday, July 23, 1999 3:52 PM > > Does anyone have a connection to this family. > > > 1870 Carter County, KY Census , Grayson Pct. > > Household 205 > Patton Marcellus 46, m,w,farmer, 160, KY > Susan 48, f, w, keeping house, KY > > Marcellus and Susan had five children: James Martin, Marcellus, Mary > Elizabeth, Susan, and Jane. > > This family is on the same page with a Thomas Patton, 76 years old and a > Thomas Patton 24 years old. > > Household 198 Carter County > Patton Thomas 76, w, m, no occupation, MD > Mary 62, w, f, Keeping house, KY > Morgan 22, w, m, farm labor, KY > Juda 19, w, f, at home > Sarah 01, w, f, KY > This is Thomas Martin Patton, married to Mary "Polly ABNEY.

Coalton Ky is located in the southwest corner of Boyd County in between Cattlesburg and Grayson on route 60. Clyde e

I am researching a family that I found in the 1880 census in Carter Co. The census listing on the heading showed "Cpt#8" and was in ED 18. One of the children in the family, which had emmigrated to Ky from Scotland, was born in a town called Colton or Coaltown. I have been unable to find either in my atlas or through Expedia on the internet. Does anyone know if there is, or was, a town called Colton or Coaltown in Kentucky, probably in Carter County, in the mid-1870's. Thank you.

Dear Carter County List, Just wanted to let you all know, I am back on line with a new E-mail address. ** please note it is a "ONE" after my name and not a lower case - L <derre1@gateway.net> We are living in Spring, Texas.

Can you imagine having to limit your searching? The most wonderful part? I am not blocked from sites anymore. I also can E-mail anyone I want without them telling me I can't ... So Sherry Lowe, I can write you again! I still have no idea WHY they blocked your address. Crazy! Someone either sends something rude or had a rude site ... They are a bit touchy about some things .. Parents really did not have to worry about their children logging onto an adult site as they were blocked! That is good! But what ever Rootsweb did, I have no idea. Furniture will be here soon and I am like a kid on Christmas eve. I am so excited and Thrilled to be back in the U.S. of A. What a wonderful country we have and I am so proud to be American. We have so many privileges and we do not recognize them. I miss my horses terribly. I will see them in Oct. when I go back to sell my Stallion. I miss a lot of good friends I have there .. but hey! I AM HOME! I have better Friends and FAMILY! here and I do not have to worry anymore about getting out quickly with just my clothes on my back. It is indeed wonderful to be home! For those that are newbies, I am searching STAMPER, McGLONE, RILEY, SMITH, ORME, DAVIS and GIBBS. Good luck in your searching!

Millie Adkins Conley died in 1918 and her delayed death certificate was from Carter County. She was evidently buried at Willard KY by her son George. I am looking for more information on them and her husband Abuid Conley. Will share information. Thanks, Wanda Wanda

Where is Day's Mill, Kentucky?? My ancestors were in Floyd Co., Morgan Co., Carter Co., and Lewis Co., Kentucky. Does anyone know where this might be located? Thanks, Lin
