Good Morning. I have been watching the exchange on the Rayborn family. I hve the following info in my notes in case it might help someone. And if you know anything about this William Harrison BERNARD, would you please email. He is not the same William who was the son of Thornton BERNARD and Sarah (Sally) COMPTON. Hope the following info helps someone.~~~Pam ========================================= William H. Bernard = Nancy S. Rayborn Casey Co., KY married 1/26/1860 ========================================= 1850 Casey Co KY census book: pg 86 / family # 55 lists one Washington RAIBORN @ 47y - m - Farmer - $1000. rel est - b KY / wife = Polly - @ 45y - m - 6 children in the home - b VA / children = F.H. (male) @ 20y - b -KY / Lucinda @ 15y - b KY / Betsy Ann @ 12y - b KY / Nancy @ 8 y - b KY / George A. C. @ 5y - b KY / Nancy A. @ 1y - b KY. Why there are 2 girls in the same family with the same name, is odd. Not unheard of, but odd. Richard and Nancy's marriage not found in the Casey Co Marriage book. Probably went to another county. Also, found on the 1860 Casey Co KY census, house # 808 / family # 811 = Richard RABOURN @ 26y - m -farmer - $150 rel est and $400 pers prop. - b VA. / Nancy J. @ 23y - m -3 children in the home / children = George R @ 5y / Rebecca M. @ 2y / and Lydia P.C. 2 4/12y.
