Jan, I would love to see an image of the quilt! Would you send it to me? I have a little information on the Conyers family, but alas, not on the Payne family that you require. Sorry.

Hi listers; Searching for information about Henry Conyers Payne who married Catherine Lewis in 1805 and raised their 10 children in Fayette county. The 7th child, Miss Sallie Payne (never married) created an exquisite silk quilt that will be exhibited soon and I have taken the responsibility to find more on this family. I'm very interested in determining if Miss Sallie attended a school in KY, where she learned her unusually fine ability to stitch and embroider. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi All: Are there any SHEEHAN researchers on the List?? I know I've asked this before -- but never hurts to ask again.. I'm still looking for more info. on my MARTIN SHEEHAN & ELLEN (O'CONNOR) SHEEHAN family. I have both of their death certificates and his says he died "5 miles - Georgetown Pike." Hers says she died at her home of Greendale'... So, does anyone have any information regarding Greendale in the 1850s and later? I did a Google search, and did find information regarding a Reformatory that was built quite early there. I've been quite grateful for information shared with me by the Dominican Archives, as MARTIN SHEEHAN, jr. was Rev. MARTIN A. SHEEHAN, O.P. and was subprior at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York. His sister, CATHERINE, became Sister MARY BERTRAND SHEEHAN and lived most of her life at St. Catharine's Convent, KY and died there. Four other siblings never married. According to the information I've gleaned, they were a very religious Catholic family. The parents were both born in Ireland. Supposedly, MARTIN SHEEHAN came to America in 1848 at the age of 27. (I've not been able to find the ship record to find out which port he might have come into...) MARTIN SHEEHAN and ELLEN O'CONNOR were supposed to have been married in Jefferson City, Missouri sometime between 1848 and 1856, when their first daughter, JOSEPHINE, was born there. The rest of the children were born near Harrodsburg, KY, the parents having settled near the Shaker Colony in Shakerstown; Mercer County, KY. They then moved near Greendale where MARTIN was a very prosperous farmer. Does anyone have any ideas why this particular migration -- landing somewhere (probably New York) in America, then going to Jefferson City, MO. and then on to Mercer and Fayette Co., KY? I cannot imagine going such a distance.. Best Regards, Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert at iggy29@rnetinc.net

This is lengthy, I'm sorry, but only way to explain and perhaps relate to any of you. I'm interested in the above families. They traveled with Daniel Boone from VA > KY > MO. Fayette was one of the many stops for these families. Hoping someone might have more information, possibly a relative or two. I have wondered about several things. Like getting copies of marriages from county/state books, copies of census records that I don't have. Church Records? Birth Records? Just a few heavy duty items that I can't get here in Indiana and on the Web. Would any of you suggest the counties or state records(which is best). Also, Cemeteries? Anything is appreciated. I have found most of the census from Ancestry.com - however I'm sure there is more! Related names (women's maiden names): 1. Elizabeth Betsy McKinney(b. 1870 in KY but married to John King on MO-brother is John McKinney of Staunton, VA per KY Biographies ), 2. Mary Jane Spires(b. 1815 in MO & married to Harrison King on 25 JUL, 1833 in Vernon Co.{actually Warren Co), MO - daughter of Greenberry B Spires & Elizabeth (Nancy) Hall Welch, 3a. Lucy Virginia(Jennie) Spiers(b. 1853, MAR in MO & married to David King on Feb, 1870 in Warren Co., MO - daughter of ?) 3b. Margaret Blandine White(b. Abbt. 1814 in Wright City, Warren Co., MO & married Harrison King 14 JAN, 1852 in Vernon Co.(actually Warren Co.) MO - daughter of ?. 3c. Henrietta Tucker (b.? married Harrison King on 6 OCT, 1864 in St. Louis, MO 0- daughter of ?). 4. Then my line: Elliott Pringle King came to Indiana and married. However his two brothers were in MO. Also other names: Bryans, Boones, Pratt, Welch, Bowen families. Years that I'm looking at and locations are: Births 1790; About -Virginia - John King 1812, 14 OCT: St Charles Co., MO - Harrison King 1846, March - Wright City Hickory Grove Twp., Warren Co., MO-David King 1876, Sep. - Wright City, Hickory Grove Twp., Warren Co., MO-Elliot Pringle King Census: 1900 Census: Prairie Township, Montgomery Co., MO 1880 Census: Hickory Grove Township, Wright City, Warren Co., MO 1870 Census: Hickory Grove Township, Wright City, Warren Co., MO 1860 Census: Post Office: Pitts, Hickory Grove Twp., Warren Co., MO 1850 Census: District 99, Warren Co., MO 1840 Census: Charette Township, Warren Co., MO 1830 Census: Charette Township, Montgomery Co., MO 1820 Census: 1817 Census Enumeration: Femme Osage Township, St. Charles Co., MO John King and Elizabeth Betsy McKinney married and settled in Marthasville, MO (now Warren Co.)- per her brothers KY Biography. The McKinney's tie into the Boone family and had traveled from VA>KY>MO. Tax Lists: 1817, Montgomery Co., MO - Missouri Pioneers Volume 8(where is the book located?) 1819, same location as above Whew!!! I do have more, but thought this was enough for now. I'm hoping to hear from all of you and looking forward to possibly meeting with you too? I will be posting this to several sites for possible more input. Have been in contact (via e-mail) with William L. King, Betty Brooks and other side line families(ie.. Spires & Bowen). Thanks for reading this!

Hello, I am researching John Murphy b. abt 1766. He lived in Fayette co. where at least 2 of his sons were born. Elhannon b. abt 1808 and William b. 1797. I think he had a daughter Elizabeth b. abt 1810. John moved to Clay co. around 1809. He is in the Clay co. census in 1810. His son William and daughter Elizabeth were married in Clay co. I would like to know where John was born and who his parents and sibling are. Any information, no matter how small will be very welcomed. Thank you Pauline

Thanks i will check it out . Jim

My question was whether Eastern State Hospital has always been a psychiatric facility and the answer I received from a Lister is - yes, it has always been a psych. facility, at least as far back as the mid 1800's.
