Hi everyone out there, I see there is an inquiry in there from my friend Jack Reed this morning asking for info about The Oldham Wimsatt and Shively familys. I have read both of those names in the last few months in the Digest so lets help Jack out and dig it out and send it to him.I know that both Familys were in Nelson Co Ky in the middle 1800s and the ST Catherine Cemetery at New Haven Ky has several Wimsatts Buried there.Oldham Wimsatt Has lived in Daviess Co Ky all of his life. Jacks Email address is; JReed43480@aol.com Thanks Bob Norris

What info does anyone have concerning Oldham Wimsatt's family data prior to 1900. Also for his wife Phyllis Shively prior to 1915. These two spent their adult life in Davies County. Oldham is still living (971/2 years old)

Could someone who has access to the 1830 DAVIES Co, Ky Census check for a MURPHY family? Thank you very much! Carol

August 1856 Sun 17 We came home from Ohio County rained nearly all night ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Mo 18 It is still raining a mighty fine rain it rained most all day ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- August the 19th 1856. Tue 19 We commenced making staves and we could not get timber at a price to justify us in going on and we went to Knottsville to get off and did so ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- We 20 We halled rails and made a fence around our wheet stacks and tromping floor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Thu 21 I went to Owensboro with some more wood. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fri 22 I helped George Husk top off his house and cover some of it ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Sat 23 I helped Mr Husk finish covering his house and then we went to Mr Stanbushs to Meeting it is raining a mighty fine rain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- George Husk was a son of Valentine Huisk, one of the earliest settlers in Daviess County Frederick Stanbush lived in Hancock County and was married to Davis's cousin, Lavinia Barnett, daughter of Reason Barnett and Elizabeth Douthitt

August 1856 Sun 10 I went to Bethlehem Church to Mrs Lees funeral ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Mon 11 We worked at our staves Martin Stallings and Charles Payne sawed for us ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Tues 12 It rained nearly all day though very slow ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Wed 13 We worked at our staves Martin and Charles sawed for us ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Thurs 14 We made staves Martin and Charles sawed timber by the thousand ; we hired them to saw 50 thousand provided we can get timber ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fri 15 We went to Ohio to see Grandfather Barnett he is sick but when we got there he was getting better ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Satu 16 We went to W J Blacks while we was in the neighborhood ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- I wasn't able to identify Mrs. Lee from the census. Davis has a neighbor named Mason Lee , in the 1850 census. He is buried in Bethlehem Cemetery (1809-1886) but no burial listed for Mrs Lee. He has a wife Elizabeth age 50 in 1850 and a wife named Elizabeth aged 55 in 1860. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ "Ohio" is Ohio County. Davis's grandfather was Solomon Barnett, his father-in-law was Willis John Black

I have in my database that Mason Lee was married to Elizabeth K. Jones Duncan on 29 December 1856 in Daviess Co., so there would have been two Elizabeth Lee's. The second one was a daughter of James Jones, the Revolutionary soldier, and a widow of Joseph F. Duncan, son of Samuel Duncan and Sally Jones (what relation??). Joseph and Elizabeth Duncan were the parents of 5 children: James Y. Duncan, Samuel T. Duncan, Brice Page Duncan, Franklin Duncan and Sarah A. Duncan Thornberry. This family had moved to Missouri, but after Joseph's apparent death Elizabeth moved back to Daviess Co., and in the 1850 census appears in her father's household with only 2 of the children: Samuel T. and Sarah A. I don't know what happened to the other children. Samuel T. married Sarah Brown and lived in Daviess Co. Sarah A. married David Thornberry and lived in Daviess Co. Anybody know anything about this family???
