Jacobus (James) Vanrysselberghe (abt 1792-1838) of East Flanders (Belgium today) and Julia Ann Howard (1810-1888) are almost certainly the ancestors of all the Russelburgs, Van Russelburgs, with many variations in spelling, etc. who have roots in Kentucky. Around Ghent, Belgium today it is Vanrysselberghe. In the 1900 U.S. Census for Daviess County, Dist 28, Owensbor Ward 4 is: Van Russelberg, C. E.-- born Sep 1833 New York, Fath b. NY, Mothr b. NY, Widower Van Russelburg, F. A.-- b. Oct 1860, NY, Fath b. NY, Moth. b. NY, Postmaster Anyone out there have any info on these two? Who was Owensboro postmaster in 1900? Thanx, Tony Howard

This came my way today and I thought I'd pass it along. I wonder how, without court houses, county clerks, departments of vital statistics, and all the technical means of record preservation now available, they were able to preserve all this information? Cookie, in Florida Matthew 1 The Genealogy of Jesus Christ 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: 2Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. 3Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. 7Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa. 8Asa begot Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah. 9Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah. 11Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon. 12And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel. 13Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ. 17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

Anyone familiar with this area or the story of Daniel and lst store? Is Lincoln Co anywhere near the ole Ohio Co Ky?? thanks, nena The 1895 on line atlas has your Knob lick in both Lincoln and Metcalfe county Ky.view here http://www.livgenmi.com/atkyk.htm Hello-have you heard of this by gone town? more like a settlement back around very early 1800's??? Names associated with it were esp. Daniel Grass b c1775 d May 25 1836 of apoplexy in his chair in his home in Spencer co Indiana. He married Jane Smeathers, dau of Wm Smeathers. She b c1779 prob Va, died 1867 Spencer co Indiana. I have read recently where Daniel Grass built the 'FIRST' store in this Knob city or Knob Lick. he was a well known politician and land owner of Spencer co In. They had 7 children. The info I have says Daniel MOVED this store to Indiana c1815-16 on the outskirts of Rockport. It then bec a school for his sister in law who taught the 'FIRST' slave Negro children and this sister in law [Eliz Smeathers who m Geo Statler 1808] their son Wm Stateler was born in this cabin or store. I am told a reproduction of this cabin now is in Lincoln Village and I have seen pictures of it, but someone else told me it was not this same 'store' but a another cabin Daniel built on the land he bought in 1807 near 'Hanging Rock'...so I am confused! My resources contradict this as they state this 'store' was moved to what was back then called 'the Knobs' abt 3-6mi fr Rockport which is now just a swamp full of rattlesnakes. There is a very small cemetery back by the trees behind the middle school in Rockport [so I am told] which has the gravestone of Daniel Grass there. One more question, does anyone have the email addy for the nearest Historical library or Public Library in the ole Ohio Co that has genealogy information. Any light you might shed on this would be appreciated, thank you kindly, Nena Smothers, gggg grand dau of Wm Smeathers _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Hi-I know there are some SMEATHERS on this list and prob some others that know of them...anyway here is my dilemma.... I have 3 dod's for 3 SMEATHERS women I can not identify..if anyone can help me out, would appreciate it.. Ann Smeathers d0d Apr 11 1882 age 82y burial was 071207 Section 107 at Abney Park Cemetery Eliz Smeathers dod May 15 1857 age 82y burial 018299 Section C05 "" Mary Smeathers dod Jul 21 1853 age 46y Burial 009541 Section F05 "" I am assuming Abney Park Cem is in Ky...could be mistaken!! The other item I need some help with is on this-concerning a John SMEATHERS.... fr a news item "John Smeathers built the open sided church because 'the Lord told him to build a tabernacle on that hillside and the people would come and bless it,' Basinger said, 'he said he felt closer to God on this piece of property than anywhere else on earth.' This was published in the paper during a Yelvington Camp meeting last year I believe... trying to figure out if this John, is the son of Jas Smeathers or son of one of Jas Smeathers sons...any help would be appreciated, thanks.

April 1858 Sun 18 We went to William Allens and Leeches ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Mo 19 It rained a while in the Morning & in the evening I helped Wm Winkler role logs John cut a few logs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Tu 20 It rained a part of the day very hard not much done cut a few logs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- We 21 We fixed up a trough and cut some logs and broke an axe handle and made another and John continued cutting logs and I went to Mr Winklers John is dead I came back home in the evening and went to W Howards after Elizabeth ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Th 22 I went to the burying and to Knottsville and got my (looks like "bryer") scythe fixed John cut bushes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fri 23 We broke corn ground run 3 teams S W Allen for the day John ????ed him and James Richmond 2 teams John and Nat. Leach cleared up ground ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Sat 24 We broke corn ground as on yesterday except S W Allen **************************************************************************** ******************** Sun 18 --I couldn't identify William Allen or a Leech (Leach) family in the 1850 or 1860 Daviess County census Wed 21 -- At first I thought he had finally worked poor little John Christian to death but he is back cutting bushes on Fri and not even Davis could make the dead get up and get back to work. I have a gr gr Winkler from my Dad's side of the family so I checked my files. William Winkler Sr. did have a son named John but he died in Jan 1854. (I can't confirm the source on this date so there is a chance this is an error) I asked the Winkler cousins for their ideas but they have the same dates so our best guess is that John may have been a hired hand. Wm Howard is in the 1860 census at # 485 age 37 wife Louisa age 24 children Jefferson 2 and Nancy 4/12. Davis's cousin James Richmond is at # 487 and his b-i-l Wm Winkler is at # 489

I'm seeking information on a Phealon Family from around 1905 in Owensboro Ky. They corsponded with my Morton and Adams Families in AR. Picture ,found, state they are second cousins. Any information on the Family would be welcome. Thank you Betty BB

Sheryl , you said "here are two together St. Lawrence and Mater Delorosa cemeteries". St. Lawrence is located at Knottsville and Mater Delorosa cem.is at 9th and Crabtree in Owensboro Ky. I use to live on Independence Ave, Owensboro and my back yard was just across an alley from Mater Delorosa cem.

I don't know if this will help or not but my husband has ancestors in the Catholic Church Cemetery in Daviess Co. There are two together St. Lawrence and Mater Delorosa cemeteries. There is a book that was published by or for the Dioceses there that may be of help to you. Also you will want to contact Sam McDowell. He has a printing/publishing place near. McDowell Publications 11129 Pleasant Ridge Road Utica, KY 42376 (502) 275-4075 (800) 285-4075 sammcpub@aol.com Hope this helps, sheryl -----Original Message----- Michele, The first Catholic Church in Knottsville was St. Lawrence, founded in 1821. My index to Webb's Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky says it is (as of 1983) still currently active. The same index shows a St. William's Church, founded in 1887, also in Knottsville, with St. Lawrence as a mission, or St. William as a mission of St. Lawrence. It, also, was still currently active in 1983. It's a bit confusing. Knottsville is not really big enough for two Catholic Churches. I guess you can take your pick. I'd be inclined to go with St. Lawrence, but can't really say for sure. Hope this helps. Loriprix@worldnet.att.net '

To Michelle in Memphis; The Catholic church right in the little town of Knottsville is St Williams and the other Catholic Church that is also about 2 miles from Knottsville and may sometimes be considered by outsiders of the area as being another church at Knottsville is St Lawrence.The St Lawrence Church was founded in 1823 and I am sure that St Williams has been there in Knottsville since before 1920.

What Catholic Church would be located in Knottsville @ 1920? Michele in Memphis
