RESPONSE: Geri, I know Cassy SOMMERS is also related to Simon DELPH , School Superintendent, Bell Co. on her DELPH side. Elhannon SIZEMORE had outside of marriage a child, Wilson HOWARD who all his adult life used the surname, TAYLOR. Wilson HOWARD's parents were Lucy HOWARD and Elhannon SIZEMORE during one of his "unmarried" periods. When Lucy HOWARD married in Nov. 1895 to my g-grandfather, Harrison TAYLOR, she brought Wilson "Wilse" HOWARD with her and he shows there with them on the 1900 Knox Co. Fed. Census. We also believe Elhannon married Mary TAYLOR (dau Alexander TAYLOR and Amelia HUBBARD who was actually fathered by a GAMBREL). Alex TAYLOR was my g-grandfather's younger brother. Oh, what a tangled web these families of our weaved and left us to attempt to figure out! But what a bunch of fascinating characters they were. Not a dull one in the bunch.

RESPONSE: To the person who requested information on Martha SIZEMORE and J. A. BURNS, the information below was sent to me directly by Hildegard HENDRICKSON, a long-time researcher of the ASHER and associated family. It may contain information you can use. I am also noting that Martha's parents are being listed as Farmer SIZEMORE and Emily Jane REYNOLDS which is the information I found in the census and which is what is outlined below but another SIZEMORE family is also being indicated, I've noted. I have no information to state which one is correct. All I do know was that in the 1880 Clay Co. Fed. Census, only Martha, age 5 listed with Farmer SIZEMORE made any sense. All the other Martha's were 15 years old or thereabouts or were married. Perhaps someone else has further documentation.

Joyce, Thank you so much, that really helps alot. Charlotte Miller

RESPONSE: I feel sure there is a connection but since I'm not particularly researching the SIZEMORE family, I really cannot tell you exactly what it is. With regard to the marriage you show between an El SIZEMORE and a Alfie SLUSHER, my transcribed marriage book shows her name as "Axie". El is no doubt short for Elhannon.

RESPONSE: For the person who asked about the first wife of John A. Burns, and adding to Cosetta's information, I have checked the 1880 Clay Co. Fed. Census for "Martha" SIZEMORES. There are perhaps 5 or 6 Martha SIZEMORES, all of them either married or 13-15 years of age. One, however, is 5 years old and "may or may not" be the correct Martha SIZEMORE you are lookin for. If she is the correct one, here is that listing: Dwelling 244-244 SISEMORE, Farmer, 33, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Jane, 31, b. KY; parents b. KY . .John L., 11, son, b. KY . .Letcher, 7, son, b. KY . .Martha, 5, dau, b. KY . .Mary B., 2, dau, b. KY . .Franklin D., 6 mo's (as of Jan), b. Ky NOTE: The wife here is Emily Jane REYNOLDS per Vital records. Farmer SIZEMORE was a son of Willis Combs SIZEMORE and Nancy COLLETT. On the 1880, Farmer is listed living next to two of his siblings, Letcher and Elhannon SIZEMORE. I have a family connection to Elhannon SIZEMORE. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA Message text written by INTERNET:KYCLAY-L@rootsweb.com > Martha Sizemore was b. Nov.14, 1875. She was from the Red Bird area. She and J.A. Burns m. July 8, 1897 by Rev. A.J. Murrell. This is a place to start......Cosetta see ya c <

Hello: You might try the following: http://www.google.com and then in the search line type in Oneida Baptist Institute, KY. There are several cites you can click on. I am not related, but did pull up some of the information. It listed Rev. Burns as a circuit rider preacher. Anna

For anyone that is doing research on the Smallwoods of Clay County there will be a meeting on May 31 2003 from 10 am till 2 pm at the Rawlings and Stinson Park in Manchester, you are ask to bring any info and pictures that you have, so everyone can exchange info, also you may bring something for lunch or maybe we can get one of the local Pizza places to deliver, anyone needing directions to the Park please let me know. Also if you might be coming from out of county or state, I think they are asking every one that possibly can to attend the Mud Lick Baptist Church on that Sunday, I think alot of the Smallwoods attended Church there. need any addition info you can also email me at claylady02@aol.com Hope to see everyone there Nancy Smallwood
