Does anyone have access to the 1935, 1936, and 1937 Lexington, Kentucky phone books. I¹m looking for listings of 2 Godbey families on Woodland Avenue during those years. Would like to know the addresses. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Kathryn, I noticed you wrote "Hugh STEER" (not STEEL) both times when you wrote this name. I understand about name nuances, so I am assuming that that is how it appeared on the record you are referencing unless I hear otherwise. Thanks! Sherry Steele (Seattle)

Hi Sherry, I found Hugh Steer on the Campbell Co. Genweb site, I believe on the 1797 tax list. Campbell is north of Bourbon Co. Good luck with your search. I still look for (first mention in KY was 1790s - d. 1823) John Steele of Pendleton County, and cannot find any connection to the Fayette Co. Steeles or to the Steeles of Bourbon County.

It's good to touch base with each other once in a while. I think it helps us remember the names that other people are looking for. The time period (1797) is right. I don't know about Campbell County. Where was that in relation to Bourbon County? I have documentation that Hugh Steel was married in Bourbon County, but no documentation of any kind as to exactly WHERE in KY his children were born, although I DO know it's "Kentucky" somewhere. Can you elaborate on what you found in Campbell County, or direct me to it? Thanks, Kathryn Regards, Sherry Steele (Seattle)

Hi Sherry, I noticed a Hugh Steer in Campbell County 1797. Is this yours? I still wonder if your Hugh Steele and my John Steele are somehow connected.

Is there any one researching the Gay family. I am looking of help in finding the parents of James P Gay (B) 1857 and died in Franklin CO. KY 1929 he was married to Jesse Clarke she died abt. 1895. Please can someone help me with this quest. Thanks Donna

Robert, William Thomas and Hugh are all names frequently seen in my family lines, but I have not been able to find a definite connection to my family with these people. Here again are the people for whom I am trying to find answers (parents, siblings, birthplace, etc.)-- Hugh Steel Sept. 22, 1770-Apr. 19, 1828 (Likely born in PA, maybe Lancaster County; died in Madison, Jefferson, IN) Catharine Dunn May 2, 1771-Mar. 2, 1849 (Hugh Steel's wife) (Birthplace unknown, but could be VA or PA; died Madison, Jefferson, IN) Hugh Steel's father might be Joseph Steel (Joseph is also a very common name in my family). Thank you for any information. Sherry Steele (Seattle)

Looking for any info on William Brenton Gray who born 1858 in Myers KY who was Married to Pearl Blevins on 30-Mar-1899 in Mt Sterling, KY

I am seeking descendants of Andre Johannes Meyer Sr. born in Amsterdam, Holland, on 06 Feb. 1895, and his son Andre J. Meyer Jr. The father moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 1923. He lived in Lexington, KY; Dayton, Ohio; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Ohio; and died in Houston, Texas, on 30, Nov. 1978. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. The two Andres are on the ballot to be submitted to the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame. They have both made history in aviation. I am not related to these persons, just trying to help find their descendants. Thank you, Maxine Bowling Friedly

Hello. No, it wasn't my email that you deleted. I did look up your info, but couldn't find anyone with the names Rockett or Wonder. For Chism I found only this: "Andrew, son of John Chisham (their spelling), of Lexington. Died of cholera July 30, 1849, aged 10 years." From the Aug 1, 1849 Lexington Observer. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Roxanne You'd written: I erred the other evening in mistakenly erasing an incoming email regarding Elizabeth Wonder, etc. I hope you are the one who sent it. My wife's grandfather was John Rockett (l870-1962) whose mother was supposedly an Elizabeth Wonder. He is said to have been born in or near Louisville. Also, that family in MO intermarried with the family who here spells their name Chism, thus I am wondering about any connections there.

I am looking for any information on a Jonathan Pitcher/Peacher (c.1765-1830) who was tried as a horse thief in Fayette CO. about 1808. He was living in Jessamine CO at the time. His wife Elizabeth Mason Pitcher appears as head of household in the 1810 census so he may have been serving time in jail then? Family lore says he was finally caught again in 1830 and hung. I have never seen any documentation of this and would like to find out if it is true. Jonathan died in Woodford CO. Todd

I've just mistakenly erased a message from a Phil Graham which I hope was in regard to my query re John Rockett and Elizabeth Wonder. Too, I meant to mention that the Rockett and Chism families intermarried in Randolph Co, MO. I hope he repeats his reply.
