Martha (Peyton) Kemp had died prior to 30 October 1871 the date of the writing of the will of her father, Valentine Peyton (1809-1875) the will is recorded in Casey Co., Ky. Will Book 3, pages 372-374. Martha (Peyton) Kemp's sister, Leanah Peyton, estate Hancock County, Illinois, Record Book, P., p 109 (papers in Box 313) lists the living Kemp children of Martha Peyton. Leanah Peyton (1834-1905) died 16 Feb. 1905 at Alberum Wheat Peyton and Mary (Peyton) Peyton, Section 34 Wilcox Twp., near Warsaw, Hancock Co., Illinois. Leannah is buried in the John Peyton Cemetery, The stone reads: Leannah Peyton daughter of Valentine Peyton of Casey County, KY born 15 March 1837 died 16 Feb 1905. Heirs listed on 28 February 1905 when letters of administration were given to Alberum Wheat Peyton were: " Vincent Peyton of Ellisburg, Kentucky her brother, and children of her deceased sister Bet Cochran Leanah Shearrin, and Mary Cochran that the said Bet Cochran lives in Louisville, Kentucky; and that the said Leanah Shearrin and Mary Cochran live in Casey County, Kentucky." That your petitioner, with whom the said decedent made her home, and a distant relative of hers. (Note: A. W. Peyton (1855-1931), was the husband of Leanah's niece, Mary Peyton (1870-1952). Mary was the daughter of 1st Lt. Vincent Peyton and his first wife, Sarah Jane Gibson (1842-1870) born and buried, nr Jeffersonville, Montgomery Co., KY in the Gibson Cemetery) (Note: Still haven't figured how A. W., and Leanah are related. In a statement earlier he said that his father, John Peyton and Leanah had the same great grandfather. It has to go back a lot farther than that) Leanah's great-grandfather was Valentine of Lincoln Co. (1749-1831) and John's great grandfather is not known at present his grandparents were: James Peyton (1761/2-1817) died Casey Co, and Elizabeth (Cox) Peyton (1765-1828) See Casey Co., Ky. Wills and Estates. The revised list of the heirs on the estate of Leanah Peyton, deceased gives: Vincent Peyton, her brother, Ellisburg, Kentucky Bettie Cochran, daughter of her deceased sister, Louisville, Kentucky 1620 Wm. St. Mary C. Cochran, another daughter of the deceased sister, Liberty, Kentucky Monnie Shearrin, Arron Shearrin George Shearrin, and Mary Shearrin, all of Powers, Kentucky, and being the only children and descendans of a deceased daughter of the same deceased sister; and Bertha Kemp and Nona Kemp of Clinton, Illinois, the only children and descendants of a deceased son of the same deceased daughter; and that the said Shearrin and Kemp children are all minors, the said Shearrin children living with their father Jack Shearrin, and the said Kemp children living with their mother, Fannie Kemp. and this affiant further states on information and belief that there are no heirs of the said Leanah Peyton, deceased, except as above stated. Final report filed April Term, 1906 Hancock Co., Il. Final distribution May Term, 1906 Hancock Co., Il. dated 31 May 1906 Note: the deceased sister of Leanah Peyton refers to Martha (Peyton) Kemp and the deceased brother refers to John Bailey Kemp. 1880 census shows: Mary C Kemp aged 16 Martha Kemp aged 14 (not named in the estate of Aunt Leanah 1905) John Bailey Kemp aged 13 (referred to as the deceased son of deceased sister) Leannah Kemp aged 11 (either died after 16 Feb 1905 or before 27 Mar 1906) Elizabeth "Bettie" Kemp born 1871 Many of the Peytons of Casey County are to be found in the 2004 edition of the book The Peytons of Virginia, II, Vols.

Jenny, Gads, it has been a long time. We go back to visit one remaining brother in Rantoul. I was formerly a Phillips. I live in Beaufort,SC now (since 1996). I married a guy in the Air Force in 1967. We left Rantoul in 1972 to IND, then to NC, then to Guam, then to Omaha, NE---and now here. He is native of this place. My dad was in military at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul. He retired there in 1949. Our son and his wife live in Omaha--and our daughter and her hubby live in Shreveport. LA. We have one grandson in his first year at Louisiana State Uni. at Baton Rouge. I had a home ec teacher by the name of Lillian Rayburn. She never married. I could never figure out why. My brothers had her for English, etc, when they were in school. Note that my oldest borther was 21 years older than me. I am the youngest of 7 boys. My brothers always talked about how beautiful she was in her younger days. I thought she was an attractive lady when I was in high school. She must have been about 60 at the time. Lilly did love to smoke cigars. Several of the gals caught her in girl's locker room smoking one Sat. We had a practice for archery competition (of all things). Apparently, Lilly had no idea anyone would be around. We certainly tried to use that against her, but she was one tough lady. Shari

Thank you friend for your information about the Gadberrys in Casey County, KY. Am I reading this right? Was the wife of JOHN GADBERRY a lady by the name of AGRAPINEY (CHRISTISON) BALDOCK.? Gratefully Harold C. Fisher

Hi Again....I never tried to connect the Casey Co folks to OK, or Arkansas....but one time I was doing some browsing in Missouri for my BUSH family and saw an article from an early day newspaper that had a headline "Last ? mine closes in Missouri"...the article stated that the last (iron-lead-?) mine closed in Ray County Missouri on the old John Rainwater place......about 1890 or later......Might look at Ray County MO sometime! Be back in the land of milk and honey in March 07....meantime I'm breaking in my first laptop... Old Hal

Hi Ganmaw, I was only a responder and not a message poster but was surprised to see you note your Rainwaters were from Mintonville.....My Mother was Ruth Rainwater, 1901-1988, born Mintonville a dau of Daniel Francis Rainwater and Serena Henson....DF, of course a son of Welcome Giles Rainwater and Sarah Jane Emerson.....Mother had siblings: Hetty (Barber); Ella (Gifford); Everett; Joseph; John; Sarah (Greenwell/Mehring)...... Any connection here???? Old Hal, a Cincinnati native born 1930....

Thanks Tim for your response. I am looking for the very early GADBERRYS of Casey County, such as JOHN GADBERRY, b1760 and died in Casey County. I want to document him as a brother to my WILLIAM GADBERRY. Both were Scots-Irish and came from North Ireland. You may not have anything that far back, I hope that you do. Gratefully Harold C. Fisher

Annette, That's interesting about William. I knew he had served in the military. His brother, James, was my 3rd great grandfather so that must make us about 5th cousins I think. You probably already know that William's wife, Mary Jane THOMAS, and James' wife, Elizabeth THOMAS, were sisters. They had another sister, Genetta THOMAS, who married John Raleigh RAINWATER. Genetta and John also became my 3rd great grandparents. They had a son, Miles Evan RAINWATER who married and eventually left Casey County and moved to Page, OK. Miles was the mail carrier between Page, OK and Beaucamp, Arkansas. His daughter, Emmer (Emma) married James GILPIN's grandson, Jona GILPIN. I am Jona's great-granddaughter. Small world, isn't it?! I'd love to share more information with you and learn how you descend from William. I bet we other surnames in common. Sheree

Sheree -- William Gilpin was my gggrandfather. He was given the job of postmaster at Gilpin after (and probably related to) his service in the Union Army. Until he became postmaster, I believe the town had a different name. Annette

There is a Julia A. Rainwater on a Casey Co. KY marriage page that I have. It is Page 66. Julia m. Thomas W. White on Feb. 15, 1872. He could be a son of Harvy and Eliza that appear in 1850 Casey Co. KY. I need to look at their children again. I am seeking info on George White family of Forkland (Rolling Fork),Casey Co. KY. He d. 17 Feb 1824. Many of the decendents appear to be from son of George. This would be Eson White. Eson shows as Eason and Esam in censuses. He was m. to Cyrena Coulter. George White had 500 acres on Rolling Fork. He left 8 of his children 1/4 in interest bearing account. Other 7 got $1.00 each (James, Catherine, Nancy, Sally, Polly, Esther, Isabel). Widow Jane got her 1/3 at the end of Sept 1824. Jane requested George to be buried in Casey Co. KY. This was in paper after he died. 1850, District 2 Eason White, age 30 Cyreana, age 30 Parke, age 7 Isah (ISAIAH), age 5 William, age 4 Matildy, age 3 Marthy, age 6/12 mos. 1860, Post Office: Liberty White, Esam, age 40 Sirona, age 40 Parker H., age 17 Isaiah, age 15 (m. Rose Ann Brown on May 19, 1870) William, age 13 Matilda, age 12 Richard M. age 10 (Richard Morris, named after Cyrena's father, Richard Morris Coulter) Kavanaugh, male, age 8 Mary E, age 6 Drusilla A, age 4 (named after Drucilla Ellis Coulter, Cyrena's mother) 1870, Rolling Fork District. Esam White, age 50, farmer, value of real estate at 10,000, personal estate at 2274 Sarah, age 50 Isaiah, age 34 Morris, age 19 (Richard Morris) Kavanaugh, male, age 18 Ann, age 16 (Drusilla Ann) Austin, age 9 Christopher, age 9 Christopher and Austin were twins In 1880, (can't remember if it was Lincoln or Casey Co. off the top of my head) Eson and Cyrena show with twin sons, Cret P. White and Ouse P. White (b. 1860---after census). This would be Austin and Christopher. Christopher becomes Crit White. Crit m. Amanda Russell. In 1880, Dist. 5, Lincoln Co. KY, Isaiah is living with his family in Lincoln Co. KY Isaiah, age 28 Rozanah, age 26 Alice, age 9 William, age 8 Stirling (Sterling Coulter White), age 5 They are present in 1900 Turnerville--and Eson White appears living with Isaiah and his family. Eson shows his father, George, b. in ENG. My research can find nothing that says George White was born in ENG. The only White that I know of born in ENG (in Casey Co. KY) was Randolph White. Could Randolph White have been married before he married Margaret Kirland? I have George's will and he names Eson as his son. Isaick White, age 55, b. Sept 1844 (Isaiah) Rosanah, age 46, Dec 1853 Alice D. dau, age 29, b. Mar 1871 William W. son, age 27, Jan 1873 Sterling Coulter, son, age 25, Feb 1875 (became a Judge in Boyle Co.)---and went by nickname of "June" (figure that one out) Ermine, dau, age 17, Mar 1883 EASON, father, Feb. 1820, age 80, wid'd, b. KY parents b. in ENG. Burials at Brush Creek Cemetery, Casey Co. KY Charles C. White, 1894-1955 Cyrene White, 1820-1897 (w/o Eson White) Drucilla (Ann) White, 1855-1862 (Cemetery listings for Brush Creek at CASEY USGENWEB has 1835. This is a typo) James A. White, 1858-1859 (a son of Eson and Cyrena not shown in censuses due to birth and death yr.) Mary E. White, 1854-1867 (d/o Eson and Cyrena White) P. H. White (Parker H. White, Co. K, 19th KY Cav. Virginia White, 1930-1930 W. H. White, Co. B, 13th KY Cav. (could be a s/o the Hary/Harvy and Eliza White that show in Casey Co. KY censuses--have no clue who they were). This Hary/Harvy does not show in Casey censuses until 1850. "Eson's son, William, might have been too young to be in CW, but young men did go off to fight" Note: No Hary/Harvy White shows as a son in the will of George White---unless this is a middle name that was not shown in the will. I am inclined to believe it is one of Randolph White's decendents that came back to Casey. Or, Harvy might be in the line of Isaac White and Anne Reed. I have been told that Isaac's father came from ENG, but just not sure of that. Isaac shows b. in TN about 1780 or 1790. Isaiah and his family were buried at Hutsonville Cemetery in Lincoln Co. One can see pictures at the Lincoln Co. USGENWEB. Other White marriages in Casey Co. were: Do not know if this was license or actual marriage date. Galen E. White to Emily Jane Spaw on Oct. 25, 1853 (She shows as Jane White with children in 1860 or 1870 (off the top of my head). She was housekeeper to James or John Baker. Likely son of Thomas White and Tabitha Dye of Pulaski Co. KY. Thomas once lived in Casey Co. when he first came to KY from NC with his mother and step-father. Henry White to Elizabeth Rossen on Aug. 10, 1808 (Henry and Elizabeth disappear) George White to Polly Eden on Mar. 24, 1829 (s/o James White in 1820. This George became Head of House in 1830-1840---and supoosedly removed to Overton Co. TN) James White to Linday Graham on Mar. 16, 1815 (surname ofGraham shows as Greyham in early census images) Could be Eson White's brother. John White to Lucinda White to Feb. 27, 1817 (possible brother of Eson White---or in line of Stephen White and Agatha Bramblett, cousin married cousin) Mathew M. White to Sarah T. Sharp, Nov. 13, 1873 (There was a Mat White with children in 1880 Lincoln Co. KY census. M. M. White to S. M. Roland, Feb. 23, 1883 (Am told S. M. Roland was a man, yet males are listed first in this list) Robert White to Emma S. Ryder on Oct. 8, 1888 William White to Catherine Mitchell on Feb 13, 1840 (VERY LIKELY a brother of Eson White) William S. White to Mary Haggard on Feb. 1, 1887 William T. White to Clara Fair on Jan. 1, 5, 1897 John H. White to Anna Carr on Feb. 7, 1882 Some of these men could be in the Harvy and Eliza White line that appears in 1850 Casey census forward. I have not researched them. Also, one has to wonder if some of the initials were correct in transcribing. By 1880's, most names were written fairly accurate, but then again........... George White requested in his will that all his sons, except James, be bound to learn a trade or business. James was not the one in 1820 census. My 2nd great-grandfather, George Washington White, was bound to Elijah Webster on 6 Sept 1824. Brothers were Eson, Ely, William, James, Nathan, Andrew, and John. Sisters were Patsy, Sally, Nancy, Catherine, Isabel, Polly and Esther. I can't find a thing on them except for Eson--and likely William White that m. Catherine Mitchell. Brother Ely might be the one living in 1880 Cincinnati, Hamilton Co. OH with William Davis family. I have placed George's wife as Eunice Dungan (m. 12 Feb 1795 in Washington Co. VA). I placed George as the s/o Joseph White and Sarah Hutchinson (m. 1757 or 1759). Joseph Jr. remarried Sarah Headley in 1765. I may be going back to Square One with George's parents. I have been going through 50 census images for Anson Co. NC and other states. Unless George White (m. Betsy Williams) left her to go to Washington Co. VA, then this could not be my George. However, my mother left a hand written page in her Bible that stated George White was b. in NC to Joseph and Sarah. He would fit due to his age. He was at least 55 yrs. of age in 1820 Casey Co. KY. George Washington White's documents show his father was born in NC. Note: If anyone here is searching the Joseph White Sr. line of Anson Co. NC, there are a few surprises. George White that m. Betsy Williams was the son of Joseph Jr. and not of Joseph Sr. Info from Coons Family Bible gives specific birth dates for some of the White children. This verifies that Joseph White Jr. was married before Sarah Headley. George Washington White m. Lucy Ann Baker on 23 March 1846 in Owen Co. IN. They had James, Isabel, and Nancy. Isabel was my gr-grandmother, b. on 1 Oct 1849 in Casey Co. KY. James and Nancy were born in IN. George W. remarried Sarah Meloni Turner on 19 Aug 1851. He died on 18 April 1895 in Palestine, Crawfort Co. IL. Hope some of this info helps someone. I am about ready to let George White rest in peace. Oh, his widow at the time of his death was Jane E. Lewis. She remarried James Wheeler in Lincoln Co. KY in 1833. Shari
