Here are the three that I have. I had thought there was an earlier one that was hardbound and looked much like the one with the graves. Am I wrong? Is this all? 1. Casey County, Kentucky, 1806 - 1983, A Folk History Including Communities and Cemeteries (Revised). 2. Casey County, Kentucky 1806 Settlement and Early Development 3. Casey County, Kentucky First Court Records 1807 - 1817. Now, is that all? Or, was there another - the one that I gave away some 15 years ago? Thanks. Hazel

Hi Hazel, David Roland Jones was born 1824 in Pendleton District, SC. He married Cassander Bridwell (Breedwell) on 28 Dec 1843 in Meigs Co., TN. He died, (according to our family historian) on 20 Aug 1863 in Rollings, Casey Co., KY. He did not die in the Civil War but from some other sort of accident. He and Cassander had 7 children and they were all born in McMinn Co., TN between 1844 and 1852. Seems like they moved around alot!! I have no idea when or why David and Cassander moved to Casey Co., KY, they seemed to have put down some roots in Rhea Co., TN the all of a sudden they are in KY. I know after David died, Cassander moved back to Meigs Co. TN and married a man named AJ Pritchett in 1867. I hope with this information, MAYBE, you can find something, anything on him!!!! Thanks for your help. Barbara

I have been trying to follow the discussion about Casey County books by Gladys Cotham Thomas. I am not certain whether this one has been mentioned. Casey County, Kentucky 1806, Settlement and Early Development (Tax. Land. Slave Records, Acts of Kentucky General Assembly). It was published in 1983. I have a copy of this book, and if anyone would like for me to do a lookup just contact me.

Need any info on parents of John Franklin Cole, DOB 1861, DOD 1936 POB Casey Co. And Victoria Ann Wheeler, DOB 1861, DOD 1902, place of birth unk. Any info on these families will be appreciated. NCole34807@aol.com Norris Cole

Hello: Noreen Gentry at the library is keeping the list of names of those people who wish to have a copy of the reprint of the Casey County History 1806 etc. Just drop her a line at the library. I have been sending her copies; that is forwarding the requests to her for the list. This may help to encourage Gladys to get on with the show.......... Gladys' book " Casey County, KY. First Court Records, 1807 - 1817 is on sale at the library for $25.00 and I believe 3.00 postage. The address of the library is Casey County Library, 238 Middleburg Street, Liberty, KY. 42539. I won't be back to give this information to Noreen for the next week, I and husband are off to Maryland for our grandson's graduation from high school. Have to brag on him, he has been appointed to the Air Force Academy in Colo. Springs, Colo. See you all at the library when I get home. Kind Regards, Pat Brooks

Hi Hazel, I would like to take your up on your offer to do a cemetery look - up. Can you find a David Roland Jones in one of those Cemeteries? I'm trying to find my GrGrGrandfather. Thanks, Barbara L (Jones) Richardson

As long as you are asking for reprints, there is another that Mrs. Thomas did besides "Casey County KY 1806-1983, a Folk History" (with the cemeteries). I cannot recall the title but I have regreted for years giving mine away. Does anyone remember it? I do have the cemetery one if anyone wants a lookup. Hazel

Ah, now! I won't argue about Casey County's library since I have not seen it. But, if you want to see "one of the best", come to MidContinent in Independence MO. Now, there is a library!!! We are the Fort Wayne of Missouri and, personally, I think better than even they :-). This is not just local pride talking. Come and see. Hazel

Hi there, I also have some information on the following family: >>V.John {M.} m. Mary Chelf (originally from Hara, OK) Family of 10? A. Kenneth, Ok. City, OK B. Lucilla C. Florence<< The CHELF family is my line and I understand that John was also married to Cora CHELF (this is unverified). If you would like more on this family, let me know. I have the pension files of Mary's father who is William Presley CHELF who is my great grandfather. If anyone has any information on this Cora CHELF, I would appreciate it very much . I have children listed for James Beard and Mary Chelf as follows: Francis Matra Lucille unknown female Florence Mae (Roupe) Beard Aug 13, 1890 Agnes Ellen July 23, 1892 willie Fay July 26, 1896 No known children of his marriage with Cora Chelf. Not even sure he was married to her but according to my sources, he was married to her also. Her father was Perry Alonzo CHELF and her mother was Tom Anne Goode. I would really appreciate any information or corrections. Also, Mary Chelf was born in Casey Creek, KY and died in Choctaw, OK. according to my sources. I have John Beard as having died in New Mexico. If this is incorrect, please let me know as I do not have documentation of where they died. I do have information about Mary's place of birth and parents and her marriage to John. Thanks, Pat

Patty, I would like any dates and places you have on John M. and Mary Beard, their parents, and children. Thanks, Joyce

Well....I certainly think mentioning this book on the internet was a grand idea!!! Pat...thanks for the information you provided....I believe I did sign up for a reprint while at the library in 94....but since so many of us (me included) have no idea if or when we will be able to sign up in person at the library,,, do you think if we "signed up" over the internet and the library kept a tally of all of us out here that were willing to purchase the reprint, it would help get it reprinted more quickly?? Just a thought.....I must say, Casey Co. has one of the BEST genealogical libraries I've been to in any state. Thorough, and careful with their records, as well. I was just miserable when we ran out of time and had to go. What beautiful countryside, too!! (We went in September!!!) Whatever possessed my ancestors to move away? (Although, the one that left, wound up coming back!!) SURNAMES: Henson, Gadberry, Shackelford, Baldock, Embree, and many many more...

Looking for info on parents of my grandfather Marion Luther Gilpin. His birth certificate shows James M. Gilpin and Liddia Wesley. He is buried in Trace Fork Cemetery. I beleive His father was James Gilpin, son of Eli Gilpin and Rebecca Passmore, but I can't find definite proof. Any help would be appreciated. Don Gilpin

KC, I have several sources for James W. Beard. I downloaded one from http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Bios under Kentucky Biographies, a biography titled BEARD 185 Mann Coppage McWhorter Southerland Hendrickson, Adair Co. I am still a novice. I do not know how to attack it to this so maybe you can get it off the net. You will notice the difference in spelling of McWhorter. This is info from the family bible of Salli Bett Beard Chitwood which was given to me in the 1970's from a daughter-in-law. I am sending it just as she typed it. There are no dates. I will put the differences from the Internet and the bible in brackets. James {w.} Beard m. Elizabeth McQuerter {McWhorter} I. Henry m. Tillie {German}, buried at Okarchee, Ok No children II. Molly {E.} m. {William B.} Hendrickson then McLaughlin 1. Charlie Henrickson, deceased A. Son lives in California B. Daughter lives in Arizonia 2. Grace Stewart, deceased (Dallas, TX) A.

If you try a local LDS church they have the children of the most of the Beard's I sent you earlier or I'll be glad to check it. I do not have anything further on Diodema/Dema Mann. As to my direct line: Samuel Bryant Beard, b. 1867, m. July 11, 1897 (Garber, OK), d. 1916 married Alice May Duncan b. May 4, 1870 (Missouri), d. 1964 (Enid, OK) had seven children.

His parents were Samuel Beard, b. Abt. 1787, m. 1812?, to Elizabeth ? , b. Abt. 1795. Her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Bland of Casey Co, KY. Samuel J. Beard and Frances Bland had these children I know about...Samuel Bryant; Susan b. Abt. 1854; Thomas b. Abt. 1866 married to Alice R., and James W. b. January 8, 1856 (KY) and d. August 1, 1911 (Garber, OK) married to Stella Chitwood. Sorry everybody that this is so long. joyceseb@pldi.net
