The wounded man lived but a few minutes. The murderer was captured and is now in jail at Elkton. It is said to be a very cold blooded affair. At Hopkinsville, the same night, Willis HENDERSON fired ten bullets into Eph GUNN and the latter gentleman now lies at the point of death. All the above parties were colored and women and whisky was at the bottom of both difficulties. (Source: Madisonville Hustler, Thur. Sept. 26, 1895)

While not specific to Christian County, Sweet, William Warren, Religion on the American frontier [v. 1]" has a great deal about the preachers, churches, and customs of the Baptist Church in northern Kentucky before about 1830. Volume 1 is subtitled: "The Baptists, 1783-1830, a collection of source material." Volume 2 is subtitled: "The Presbyterians, 1783-1840 : a collection of source materials." Volume three is subtitled: "The Congregationalists, a collection of source materials." Volume four is subtitled: "The Methodists, a collection of source materials." Another book by the same author looks interesting: "The rise of Methodism in the West; being the Journal of the Western conference,1800-1811;" ed., with notes and introduction, by William Warren Sweet. The ISU library has 15 books by him all on early church history in the USA and the western territories of the early 1800s. I've read the Baptist volume and it had lots of detailed history about preachers and churches, including some church records. Often the clerk's report of the proceedings of the monthly church meeting and the annual association meeting said a great deal about how things were run.

I have had a request for any information about Chapel Hill Church & School. Any information anyone has about this would be most appreciated. Here is an excerpt from the email: ------------ There is some info on the Christian County website...about the early days of Barker's Mill Community, which is wonderful. I would love any specific information about Chapel Hill Church. Any personal recollections of services there. Any pictures of old church. Who helped build it. Information about the school conducted in the chapel. customs of the early church (it has 2 doors....was one for men and one women?). Or even what the culture was like during the 1850's. Also any info on Chapel Hill Farm. -------------------- Thanks, Julie

BENJAMIN BRANDON was born about 1831-33 near Hopkinsville, KY and was killed along with GENERAL GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER at the battle of the Little Big Horn in Montana, June 25, 1876. Benjamin was evidently a professional soldier. His name is on the large monument that marks the mass grave of the enlisted men that died in the battle with the Indians. I have obtained his military records from the Nat'l Archives and they show that he first enlisted in 1855 at the age of 22. His last enlistment was in the fall of 1875 at the age of 44. The records do not list his parents or next of kin and after his death no one applied for a survivors pension, which leads me to believe that he was not married. Someone must have some information that shows who BENJAMIN BRANDON descended from. Even though Benjamin is probably not in my line of Brandons, it would sure be rewarding to establish his lineage so that it could be put in his records at the Little Big Horn National Monument at!

Surnames: McINTOSH-MILLER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2404.1 Message Board Post: This is probably Joseph Cordie McIntosh, born about 1853, who was married to his cousin Mahala McIntosh on 26 November 1874 (their certificate mistakenly gives both surnames as "McEntouch"). J.C.McIntosh is shown living with Daniel & Amanda (Davis) McIntosh (my gr-gr-grandparents) as children, but are more the ages you'd expect their grandchildren to be. Is there an obit for J.C. anywhere in a newspaper soon after the murder? By the way, Ellis Miller's mother, Minerva Elizabeth ("Bette") Gunn later married another McIntosh relative, Moses ("M.S.") McIntosh.

McINTOSH near Mannington, had his examining trial Saturday and was held without bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. On the 4th of July, MILLER and McINTOSH met at a wedding and in a difficulty the latter struck the former with a base ball bat. McINTOSH lived several days after he was hurt, during which time MILLER had a trial and was held over on $200 to await the result of the injuries sustained. On the death of McINTOSH, MILLER was arrested and jailed. At the trial it was proven that the case was one of considerable importance. Of course MILLER will lie in jail until the meeting of circuit court. (Source: Madisonville Hustler, Fri., July 26, 1895)
