Looking for information on Groves Howard , he was the son of Mark Howard and Rachel Frances DeWitt Webb. His father Mark was the son of Groves (another Groves) Howard born in Granville County, NC. and his father Mark died in Daviess County, KY 5/??/1825. Groves had 13 siblings but need his wife and children or any other information about him. Hope you can understand this if not please ask me and I will try again. Happy to share Thank You Judith Pierce Arnold

Let's hope and pray it's a Happy 4th for us all! Bob Cook, in Florida < GreystokeB@aol.com >

Thanks to everyone for your input. Since this was a case of a person who died intestate it seems that inheritance law as it was applied in mid 1800s Ky is the issue. But in general spouse & children came first. Other blood relations were not included unless the person had no direct descendants. Correct so far? Either John Dugan was Barbara's son by a previous relationship ( married or not) or he was representing some one with a legal claim such as an adult child who lived too far away or minor children. ( If he was a foster -child , a nephew or something but raised in the family. The law would not recognize him. Would it be legally possible for the other children to just include him because they felt he deserved his share? That doesn't seem likely. None of them were wealthy but John Dugan seems to have been the most prosperous of the bunch) Anyone else who had a claim against the estate would have to go to court. Is that right? I have copies of documents concerning the settlement. The only minor children mentioned are those of Margaret who was deceased and they are mentioned in more than one place. One states clearly " the petition sets out title in Barbara Shadwicks heirs to 169 acres of land lying on Blackford Creek in Daviess County, to which the heirs of said Shadwick Eleven in number per (stirpes?) are entitled in distribution-the infants whose real and personal estate your commisioners were required to report are entitled to a third each of one eleventh of the whole tract." Barbara Shadwick had 10 known Shadwick children. Their names all appear in one or another of the documents and the Bivens children are all mentioned by name. The eleventh heir has to be John Dugan. There is no suggestion in any of these documents that he is acting for any one else nor do they single him out as special in any way. He is named first and I have noticed a tendency in these old documents to name children in birth order but I don't take that for granted.. So where does this leave me? I have never done any courthouse research in Nelson County. So many of the old records are published in books. How difficult would it be to find a possible paternity suit ca 1800? In the absence of any other evidence can I assume that he was Barbara's son since he appears to have been one of her heirs? Carol

John Dugan born abt 1800 married Mary Harrison in Nelson Co Ky in 1824 and moved to Daviess Co Ky soon after. He died in Daviess Co in 1863. Barbara Harrell married Thomas Chadwick (Shadwick) in Nelson Co Ky 12-29-1803 (both being above the age of 21 years) Barbara was the daughter of James Harrell. His estate was settled in Daviess Co Ky abt 1837. Thomas Shadwick died abt 1842 in Daviess Co. Barbara died intestate in 1852. Heirs named in the estate settlement were John Dugan; Jose G Douthitt & Catherine(Shadwick) his wife; Benjamin Shadwick; Sarah Shadwick; Elizabeth Shadwick; James Shadwick; Leaner Crabtree formerly Shadwick; Joseph Crabtree and Louisa his wife formerly Shadwick James Bivens,(James was the widower of Margaret Shadwick) Out of this list of people, John Dugan is the only one not known to be a child of Barbara. The only known connection is that John's son married Catherine Douthitt's daughter so they were at least acquainted. So the questions are: Under what circumstances would someone not a child inherit? If a woman has illegitimate children do they in herit with the legitimate ones? If John was her child born out of wedlock could he use another surname besides her maiden name? What exactly are "hers-at-law"? There are Dugans in Nelson County but I haven't been able to fit John in with any of them so far. I do know of one instance in the same family where someone pledged their inheritance right to pay a debt, but that was at a later time. Was this a common practice? Carol Arrington

Looking for the family of Thomas J. Brown. Thomas born about 1854. married atleast twice. first marriage to an unknown spouse before 1885. One son - Ernest. second marriage to Parry L. in 1890 two children in 1900 - Florence and edna. in 1910 thomas has either remarried of the spelling of Parry has become Recory, which could be possible I guess. Florence and edna are still home and a son ovan is listed. Also intrested in finding out if the Thomas J. brown age 14 living with Margaret brown in the 1870 greenup county census is the same thomas I am looking for. I descend from Ernest's son Roy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Drew

A few days ago, my friend and neighbor, Patsy Poole Daniels, came by with photos of grave stones ,she had taken. The old grave yard is on Bill Fullenwider's farm near Blackfort creek in Daviess Co. That farm in the 1800s belonged to James Littleton "Jimmy" Estes, and the gravy yard is known as JIMMY ESTES HILL CEM. She found only four stones and all were off their base.
