Jude, This is a fishing expedition. All I have is a James CLARK in Spencer County somewhere between 1833 and 1843. He apparently married a dau of William B. HEAD from Frederick Co., MD. I can't figure out which dau in Wm. B's will dated 1833. James had a chancery court case in Spencer Co., probably something to do with his wife's share (she must have been deceased by this time). I was hoping someone had info re James and/or his case. I need to know if he mentions the other heirs who are located in Daviess Co., KY. If so, I will need to get a copy of the record. This could prove that Wm. B's deceased brother and heir, Cecilius HEAD, was the parent of my Richard (b 1809, d. 1875). James E. and Jane NIX of Washington Co., KY had a dau, Mary E. NIX (b 1843). James E. died by 1860 and I haven't found out if Jane remarried. In 1861 Mary E. SIMMONS, age 17, mar Benjamin H. JACKSON in Bullitt Co. The mar record noted that Mary's father, James E. NIX, was deceased. It appears the two oldest Nix boys were sent out to work on their own and Mary after age 7 was either raised or adopted by a SIMMONS family. Mary denies knowing who her parents are in any other later records. I need to know what happened to her mother, her siblings, and who was the SIMMONS family who took her in and why. Any help would be most appreciated. Artis POWERS So.

I don't know if this helps but... In the Baptismal Records for St. Lawrence, Daivess Co., KY, I find the following entry: 1842 Apr. 24: I baptized Cecellus son of Richard Head and his wife Elizabeth born Oct. 17, 1841. Godmother Elizabeth Bowels. [signed] W.L. Coomes There are TONS of Head entries in the book.
