James, Well, I'm just happy to know that you're going to be open three days a week. Last year, when I was researching my book "Blame it on Salt" it was open for just a few hours on Fridays, and on a hit or miss basis at that. Anyway, congratulations on finding a home. I plan to make use of it. Please let me know if I can be of some help. I think the historical society is one of the county's treasures, and a much under appreciated one at that. I'm surprised at the treatment you received at the B school. Every time I heard any council member or members of the 200th Anniversary Committee talk about the B school it was in the context that it was to be used for the historical society. Your news surprises me very much. I intend to look into it but, like you, I doubt anything will come of it. What is to happen with all the priceless documents you have? Will those be housed at the library, too? If so, that might be a better place than the old school building. I've thought a lot about how easy and fast a fire at that building could wipe out a large chunk of the county's history. I plan to donate a copy of "Blame it . . ." to the Society. It's selling like crazy and I have to keep reordering them. I don't have a single copy at the moment but will have for the book signing at the library on Aug. 30. By the way, I helped Jess Wilson publish a new edition of "When They Hanged the Fiddler," and Jess will be there for the book signing, too. Try to stop by. I have a slew of research papers I will eventually donate to the Society. My new project is a one hour documentary on historic old Clay County cemeteries and the old pioneers buried in them, a few born in the mid to late 1700s. I've already completed significant filming at a number of them, and have several people lined up to do "talking head" interviews, several from out of state. I wish I could find more knowledgeable local people. I've already filmed some, including Jess Wilson. Maybe you'd like to do an interview on one or two of the old settlers. Let me know. --Charles House On Aug 22, 2007, at 3:49 PM, jwelch@kih.net wrote: > the clay co. his. society has moved to the 2nd floor of the clay co > public library.

the clay co. his. society has moved to the 2nd floor of the clay co public library. If you come to the alley behind it .it will the first door, It has our name on it. NO stairs.Open tuesday ,wed thus. 9-3. It appears the New city council wanted us to pay the ulities up at the old manchester school building where we were to moved.We couldnot and they knew it. It appears to me they use our names to get the money to redo the building.Within a few days the chamber of commerce moved in. Also all our the desk,chairs ,computer desk were taken from the building by someone.Either the men working on it left the building unlock or someone from the city last month let someone have our things.A police report was made. But i have real dought anything will be done. james e welch

Betty & Jasper: The subject is taking longer than anticipated but here is part 2. The subjects family members lived at a time during the middle to late 1800's in Bell [Josh Bell]; CLAY, Jackson, Laurel, Knox and Pendleton counties. John C. Robbins and Jonathan C. Robbins were 1st cousins. This is written to clarify misinformation to postings at http:wc.rootsweb.com, which gives forth an opinion that John C. Robbins is Jonathan C. Robbins. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. On Tuesday, 7 August 2007, I put forth census data pertaining to John C. Robbins which ESTABLISHED that he was the person that married Judith/Juda Margaret Barnet/Barnett. Also that he was born about 1844 in what is now Bell County but at the time it could have been Knox County and this part became part of Josh Bell County and then later Bell County. It was around Middlesboro and probably a little northwest. His parents were Michael or Wim. M. [as enumerated in 1860 Harlan Co. census] Robbins and Elizabeth Crawford. All census records 1850, 1860 and 1870 brings forth the truth in this. Now this person does not know if he personally went by the name of Jonathan BUT his census records DO NOT AFFIRM THIS. THE REAL AND ONLY Jonathan C. Robbins born around 1835/36 is what part 2 is all about. The CORRECT Jonathan C. Robbins is the son of Lemuel Robbins and Kesiah/Keziah Robbins. Depending upon the cernsus enumerations, one could conclude that he was born 1835 or 1836 and in North Carolina. However his only known son Elias or Elisha Robbins has it as Kentucky but I believe one should doubt this but then again I trust the censuses of 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 as being correct and these are the ones that enumerated Jonathan C. Robbins. His census enumerations are as follows and the years 1840, 1850 and 1860, Jonathan C. Robbins was in his father & mother's household. 1840 Harlan Co. census, page 3 & 8th family from bottom of page 3 [this part became Josh Bell after 1860.] 1 Male 30-40 Lemuel, Robbins 1 Female 30-40 Kisiah or Kiziah 1 Male 15-20 [??brother??] 1 Female 10-15 Nancy 1 Male 5-10 JONATHAN C. 1 Female 5-10 Elizabeth 1 Nake 0-5 John Alexander [he IS NOT Jonathan Alexander but was Alexander in censuses later on] 1850 Harlan Co. Dist # 26, on 28 August & dwelling & family # 97 Lemuel Robbins 42, born NC, farmer, real estate $300 Kesiah 47, NC, Nancy 20, NC, Elizabeth 17, NC, [see 1860 which shows she was born in Tennessee[ JONATHAN C. 14, NC John E. 11, NC [later censuses establish John Alexander/Alexander was born Kentucky] James G. 8, KY Sarah 2, KY 1860 Harlan Co. 25 June, Post Office, Harlan Courthouse, Page 362 Lemuel Robbins 52, born NC, farmer with $500 Real $500 Personal Estate Kizziah 56 NC Nancy 30 NC Elizabeth 26 Tennessee JONATHAN 24 NC, farm laborer James 18 KY, farm laborer Sarah 13 KY 1870 Josh Bell Co. sheet # 23, Page 238, dist # 3, on 10 September, P.O., Yellow Creek NOTE; This is the part of Harlan that became Josh Bell than just Bell Co Lemuel Robins 62 born NC, farmer $400 Real $249 Personal Estate Kesiah 66 NC, Nancy 40 NC, $100 Personal Estate James G. 28 KY, $220 Personal Estate Sarah M.J. 22 KY This closes the census enumerations of Lemuel & Kesiah/Keziah Robbins, the parents of the REAL person named JONATHAN C. ROBBINS. Jonathan C. Robbins has been also been enumerated in the above censuses, excluding the 1870 of which I will indicate after mention the below Civil War data. During the Civil War, this Jonathan C. Robbins son of Lemuel & Kesiah/Keziah Robbins was the one who enlisted for the UNION cause in 1863 and was discharged in 1864. He served as a private in Company G in the Kentuckyk 49th Infantry and Kentuckky 49th Regiment. This information is shown on film # M386, Roll 2. This is also mentioned on ancestry.com. However for those that are not subscribers to ancestry.com, I would suggest logging onto the Jackson Co. KY GenWeb site as you can get free use of ancestry material when selecting the person your searching for. The 1890 Kentucky Censusd Indes of Civil War Veterrans or Their Widows shows the following regarding Jonathan C. Robbins: Residence district & enumeration 6/76 in Green Mt., Laurel County. On the north side of Raccoon district is Greenmount and just west of Raccoon is Green Mountain. This area borders Jackson County. And his widow some children were enumerated in 1900 census in Raccoon. After JONATHAN C. ROBBINS participation in the Civil War he returned home. Whether he returned to then Harlan County which became Josh Bell & Bell or to Clay or Jackson County, as he had relatives in these counties is unknown. What is known is that he was enumerated in Jackson County in 1870 and 1880 and was married to a Emily McQueen, daughter of Thomas McQueen and Nancy. Thomas McQueen was a resident in Jackson County in 1860 therefore it is my opinion that he could have went to Jackson County but then who can say for sure. His first child was born about 1865/66. 1870 finds Jonathan C. Robbins enumerated in Sturgeon p-recinct #6, with post office at Gray Hawk, Kentucky. This being just below McKee, in the county of Jackson, which had just been put forth as a county in 1858, from portions of CLAY, Estill, LOaurel, Madison, Owsley & Rockcastle counties. 13 July 1870 Jackson Co., page 240-B, dwelling 148 & family # 146 Jonathan C. ROBINS, 35 born NC, farmer Emily 27 KY, keeping house Malinda B. 5 KY Nancy K. 4 KY ELIAS S. 1 KY [starting in 1900 he was ELISHA, death certificate supports this] Mary B. 1 KY ???Twins?? On page 224-A 1870 Jackson Co. is a Lemuel Robins, 22 years old, born in KY, with wife Rachel and a Metilda Robins 46 years old, born NC & others. 1880 Jackson county census probably finds Jonathan C. and Emily Bobbins, as moving slightly southwest of where they were in 1870. It is called Pond Creek precinct, by ancestry.com, and district 509 and enumerated in June 1880 and sheet #2, and on page 513-B. Pond Creek by my map appears to cross highway 30, which is a east & west road, and Pond Creek is just east of Annville which is on highway 30. Dwelling & Family # 11 Jonathan C. Robbins 45, Laborer, born NC, parents NC NC Emily 40, KY, parents TN KY [fathers place varys from KY to TN] Malinda B. 14, KY Nancy 13, KY Elias 11, KY Mary 11, KY Esther 9, KY Allice 7, KY Sarah 4, KY Cordelia 2, KY The following are the 1850, 1860 & 1870 census records of Emily McQueen and parents Thomas & Nancy McQueen. 1850 INDIANA, Spice Valley Township, Lawrence Co. on 25 August 1850.

Isabel 20 KY Isabel has reappeared ELIAS 21 KY, farm laborer Mary Burnam 15 KY, notice the spelling of surname from Burnham to Burnam This will conclude Part 2 of the John C. Robbins IS NOT Jonathan C. Robbins. Hopefully I will conclude or maybe have 2 more parts concerning the grandmother of Jonathan C. Robbins. Also his aunt Abigail Robbins Ball, and uncle Absalom Robbins. I hopefully with definitely have them sometime week of 13 August. Betty and Jasper I do hope that this is helpful to you and I treasure your input too and will expand on the only known son of Jonathan C. Robbins, Elias/ELISHA Robbins in the next probably 2 parts. This will also enlighten those regarding Emily and some of the children too. You all have a great week coming up. Take care and God Bless Hal [Harold] Smith 6054 Gibson Avenue Meridian Township East Lansing, Michigan 48823-1532 P.S. Betty, please call be just plain HAL. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Does anyone know anything about the Parents of Benjamin Hensley, who was born about 1830, maybe NC.? He was married to Margaret Holland. Margaret was born about 1833.

Anna, Levi was a brother to my 4th great grandfather, Robert L. Hensley.

Jeri- Actually, I have never confirmed that - I guess I need to check out the census and see. I don't have easy access to the census, but I can see what I can find. Can you tell me more about the children of Benjamin Hensley and Susan Metcalf? Thanks so much! I hope they are the parents - that would be great!

Bev, I don't descend from Rebecca but I do connect to her through her grandparents Hezekiah and Rebecca (Elliott) Metcalf. If you would like to compare notes directly my email in (_KYPHILPOT@aol.com_ (mailto:KYPHILPOT@aol.com) ). Curiously, I also have Hensley's in my line but I don't see where I might connect to Henry. I would love your help to see if I do. Thanks, Jerry Philpot. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

My Husband's Family lived in Clay County at one time. Smith's Wages, Gregory's, Hurst. Hope you know some of them so you can help us. Oh yes, We live in Cincinnati at one time. That would of been in 1950 and 1951 that we moved up there. We went to Ohio for work. We have lived in Cincinnati, Covington, Norwood, Monroe, and Mason. That was a long time ago. I am happy with the slower pace. Thanks for your time.
