Has anyone located the Ancestry.com 1860 census images for Daviess Co. yet? If so, please let me know where to look? I've tried going up a few counties and down a few counties but still can't find images for Daviess County. Also, while I'm asking for help, does anyone have access to the 1860 Mortality Schedule for Daviess County? Thank you. Betty Clingman Louisiana

Linda asked to whom Enoch CLARK belonged. With no date or place given, who knows? CLARK/CLARKE is one of the 50 most common surnames in America. (Click on: <A HREF="http://www.lifesmith.com/comnames,html">http://www.lifesmith.com/comnames,html</A> ) It's number 21. As such, Clarks are everywhere. Every nobleman or man of means had a clerk to keep his books and when surnames were adapted around 1200-1300 it was only natural that many of these clerks assumed the name CLERK or CLARK. The English still pronouce clerk as "clark." CLARKs were everywhere and were not necessarily blood kin. I have been trying to connect my Kentucky CLARK family for 50 years without any luck. my gr-grandfather was Elijah CLARK, son of John CLARK and Elizabeth McGREW. Elijah was b. 1853 in Grayson County, KY. John CLARK was b. abt 1821, prob. in KY. His father was Charles R. CLARK, I've been told - no documentation on this. Can anyone help with this massive brick & stone wall? Cookie, a Hoosier in Florida << GreystokeB@aol.com >>

It is probably very close to the current Bardstown Road from Louisville that is US 31E (the old Dixie Highway East). This is only a supposition from documents I've found on the internet about Civil War action in that area and other incidental information from materials in our collection. It passes through Fern Creek, Mount Washington and on to Bardstown. [original question]- Does anyone know abt a Bardstown Pike? I am not sure abt John Ash,thinking he might be related to some of the Ash gals that md into the Ashby family & Coombs/Combs. Wonder what the name of this stockade was outside Bardstown?

He later settled on a farm near the line of the township which now bears his name. He was a member of the In Legislature, and Judge of the Co Court for a number of years. He had a dau Elizabeth GRASS b Ky Dec 22 1803. Judge GRASS's parents were murdered and his sisters captured and killed by the Indians in Ky. After he was left an orphan, he lived with William R. HYNES in Nelson Co Ky, and may have come to Spencer Co. to attend to the possessions of HYNES, who was a large land owner here. Daniel's grandson was James SMITHERS GREATHOUSE b May 13 1833.

Kandy Kramer JHarris578@aol.com [CANT GET AHOLD OF THIS GAL, EMAIL DOES NOT WORK] "Read at Poseyville by Mrs. Galder Erhman, September 28, 1920." Daniel Grass, lone survivor of his family, who had been killed in Kentucky, was taken into the home of Dr. William R. Hynes, of Bardstown, Kentucky. He married Jane Smeathers from the settlement of Yellow Banks and tradition tells us that he came here in the interest of Dr. Hynes. This seems to be true because of the various land transactions. On May 9, 1807, Daniel Grass made the first land entry on the territory where Rockport now stands. Sometime later he built a log house south of Rockport and moved his family and became the first permanent settler. He changed the name to Mt. Duvall, in honor of Col Wm Duvall, a Ky friend. On March 11, 1808, William Berry bought land on the river below Grass and lived on his houseboat with is family until a cabin in the woods could be constructed. Daniel Grass later became the first County Agent and Berry became Judge of the Northwest Territory.

To prevent any confusion caused by the e-mnail sent out yesterday, the Hancock Co., KY maillist has not gone anywhere and is still at hancock@yahoogroups.com. The KYHANCOC@rootsweb.com list was formed after we started our official Hancock Co. list and I adopted it several years ago to keep exactly what is happening now from happening. I am trying to get the situation worked out. I appreciate you patience. Patrick Hays listowner Hancock Co., KY mail list

Hello to everyone, And thanks a million to all of you for your response about Reynolds Station. Your help is much appreciated. Ann (HEAD) Daugherty ADaugh6398@aol.com

Redbird is right about Reynolds Station. Those turtles were probably trying to get to The Black Cat, which was/is just across the Ohio county line on 54 (Leitchfield Road in the ol' days). That was an infamous "watering hole" in the 40's (probably years before & since). The area around Whitesville, just up the road in Daviess county was "dry", and The Black Cat's bad reputation made it a very attractive place. Tony Howard
