I am researching the Stallings/Stallions/Stallons/Stallins family of W KY and believe Abigail to be the daughter of Reuben Stallions b abt 1750-1760 NC. Reuben appears in the 1810 Christian Co., KY census, the 1820 Hopkins Co., census, and the 1830 Hickman Co., Ky census. He dies abt 1838 in Caldwell Co., KY. In the 1850 Crittenden Co., KY census I show that Noah and Abigail had two children Susanna and Penelope. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. Mark Stallons

Juanita, Then you and I would be related so we have made contact which is good though my McCords ended up in Kenton County, KY. I have wondered this many times as too just how many of the people with the same surnames miles apart are from the same family lines? I am sorry about you not getting to meet your Grandfather before he passed on. Mine passed on pretty young so like I told you the other day I never got to know mine either. Thanks, Charlotte

"Major John Poindexter, of Christian county, a highly esteemed citizen and soldier of the war of 1812, died Jan. 21st, aged 85 years." Glasgow (KY) WeeklyTImes, Feb 8, 1877

It has occurred to me that is a possibility, that he might have had two middle names. Nothing to prove it, tho, and it does seem a bit strange. Yes, my McCords are from the Isle of Skye, and I have a bit of information on them starting with James Duncan McCord who died July 1689. The info I have was graciously given to me by a McCord researcher and it has been an enormous help. It was from this info I learned of James S. McCord, my grandfather. He died in 1955 in Hopkinsville, Ky. If I had known about him I could have visited him, but-- by that time I thought he had long been gone. But-- that's the way things go-- information comes too late.

You know I just wonder so much if there is a connection between your David McCord and mine who was called David McCord of Derry. In looking into things I think this was because he lived in the Derry township? :-) My David was born before 1715 in Westmoreland County, PA and died in Lancaster County PA in Derry Township in 1758. Now he had a son named David born abt 1737 which is also my direct line which leads down to my Grandfather Raymond Simms McCord born 2-21-1909 died 6-23-1954 in Kenton County, KY. Sad to say I never got to know him as I was born in November of 1952? On Ancestry I have a relative from one of our other McCord lines who puts our genealogy online every once in a while. He is a good researcher who has records to back up his research so you can feel safe with him as I do. Sad to say I only wrote my direct lines down so it is possible your McCords are in one of our other lines. He also knows the addy of the McCord Clan website which I used to have until I had take my computer back to factory settings of course loosing my book marks? Then again I may have this as he sent me the addy but I cannot remember if he typed it in or just put in a hyper link? I also will go back and look at your Sargent's and Watkins as I have these surnames in my lines too. Thanks, Charlotte Holleran

Just "FYI," I have some information on McCORD -- and other Christian County surnames -- online at my web site: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/SRoots/SRootsHome.htm Just enter McCORD in the search engine to pull up what's there. Diana

Could be that he had more than one middle name as this has happened with others then later proved both middle names are correct. Sad to say sometimes this info is lost so one might not be able to prove this while others death certificates have this info on it as this happened with one of our Pendergrass women.. Are your McCords from the lines out of Isle of Skye, Scotland then later moved to Ireland? Charlotte Holleran

Surnames: McCord Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2374 Message Board Post: James McCord was listed in the 1900 Christian Co. census as James J. McCord, age 17. He was married January 1901 to Elizabeth Barnes (age 16), as James Joseph McCord. (I have a copy of the record) However, all subsequent records show his name as James Solomon McCord. These records are a second marriage license and death certificate, in addition to various other records. Anyone know anything about James? Why the middle name change?? I know it's the same person.

Found this in Mechams History of Christian County. The timeframe is Pre-WWI. Does anyone have any more info on the Jitney Bus line in Christian County, hoping I can use this to find out more about Raymond Skerritt?

LeavesI am interested in corresponding with anyone who has connections to the Pennyrile Forest area of Northwest Christian County. I would like to find information on the early settlers of the area and families living there during the resettlement period of the mid 1930's.

I don't know what prompted the discussion below, but I quite agree with the person who posted this message. Out of the 27 years I've been involved in genealogy research, I have devoted 16 of those years to researching a single surname [and variant spellings], and, yes, I did a LOT of work - probably 7 or 8 years worth 24/7 - before I got to the point of being truly knowledgeable and able to assist others. As the poster stated, I was not appointed as a representative of this surname. It was my choice to work on it exclusive of all others. I do not have a web site of my own for this surname because others already had such websites. I might add that anyone concentrating on researching all persons by a certain surname should be willing to share their information freely with others. It is sometimes a thankless job, but most of the time, the appreciation I receive for helping people who are "stuck" on their line is so gratifying, no dollar amount could possibly be as satisfying. Frankly, I wish more people would take one surname and concentrate on it solely, but it takes a lot of organization, hard work of the "slogging" variety, and concentration, so I can understand why more people don't. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of dianagm@dgmweb.net Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 3:51 PM To: KYCHRIST-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYCHRIST] Re: adding names and web site links This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

A link to those cemeteries (and many more) can be found on the Christian Co. KyGenWeb page -- which is located at http://www.kyseeker.com/christian Follow the link to cemeteries! As to why AOL would have anything to do with those email addresses.. the only thing I can think of is that they are using a forwarder of this usgennet.org address to an AOL address.
