Hi, have been to the Kentucky Room of the Lexington Library years ago. There is indeed a lot of information in the room...second floor as I recall...this was in an old biulding and may have been updated since my 1988 visit. I found that there was one individual working in the room and this gentleman sem to have little interest or knowledge of what was available.....I looked thru a number of volumes for my surnames without success....as I was leaving I noticed a tub file in the hallway and upon investigating the card file discovered that this was a tub of burial index cards for Lexington obits. I found there my Great Grandmothers obit and went from the library to the Cemetery and located her gravesite....that was the most significant thing of my trip.... They may have a new library....go online with a search of Lexington Library and their web site as some information... Hal, from Northern California!

Tom, research for Fayette Co., KY before 1800 is a mixed bag so to speak....County was formed in 1780 from Kentucky County, VA. According to Everton's "The Handy Book for Genealogist's" the County Clerk has marriage records from 1795, Probate and Land Records from 1795, Clerk of Circuit Court has divorce and civil court records from founding of court. Records prior to that are probably held by State of Virginia at Richmond, VA. Hal, from sunny Northern California!

This info was received from someone not on the list. Ley FORWARDED From: hsmith@iserve.net (Harold V. Smith) You might also want to try the Special Collections and Archives at the Margaret King library at UK in Lexington. They have recently expanded and moved the collection but the library is still in the same place, the middle of campus. They have lots of material on all the state, too.

Not certain about this but I was told the Lexington Library has a special room for genealogical research that is just loaded with information. The material cannot be removed but can be copied. I believe they have a web address that tells further on this and lists the hours they are open. A visit to the library is in my plans within the next month (6 hour drive from Ohio) and I also would look forward to learning about other places to do research.

Where are the best places to do genealogical research in Fayette County, preferably Lexington, Kentucky. I'm interested in the years prior to 1800, up to 1850. Tom

I found a death notice of April 17,1823. Mrs. Mary Hawkins and daughter, she is the daughter of Mr. Thomas Tibbatts. She is being buried in the "Roman Catholic Grave Yard," does anyone know where this is? I believe all my ancestors are buried here. She was married to Dr. Parry Hawkins, he died June 7,1822. They were married June 3,1813 in Lexington, Ky.

John Carter Jr, born 1-2-1813 and Eliza NUTTERFEE/NUTTERFIELD, born 5-26-1810. Reportedly married between 1828 and 1832... Unable to find any record of same. When, where, or, did they in fact marry... They had 13 kids, and were in Owen County Indiana from about 1831.

One of the compilation books of early Kentucky records had some listings of graves from the Episcopal cemetery, I believe it was probably KENTUCKY PIONEER AND COURT RECORDS by Mrs. H. K. Adams. When I last drove by 6 months ago they were doing work inside the grounds there, which are in a locked chained fence. A cottage stands in the middle of the cemetery grounds. Many graves are marked but I saw quite a few laid off to the side, plainly not in their original location. A check of the card index at the Lexington Public Library would probably lead you to a number of old newspaper references to these cemeteries.

Hello, Following the flow of messages and now I am interested in the Episcopal Cemetery. I knew it was there and planned on doing some writing to seek information on it. I believe I may find my ancestors in that cemetery. Does the KY or Fayette County Historical Society have a list of those interred? It is all very interesting. Annabelle Rupert

How very interesting. No markers or records? If one wanted to find records, where would one go? Is there a reason the Catholic and Epicopal are adjacent? Does anyone know the history of that? How far does it date back? Shirl ----- Original Message ----- From: William A.

I'm new to the list and to genealogy research. I'm researching the Tibbatts surname, my ancestor Thomas Tibbatts was living on Short Street in Lexington, Ky. prior to 1800, he owned a Tavern and a candle making shop. He was of the Catholic faith, with the Bishop staying at his residence in Lexington, Ky. Would anyone know where the "Old Catholic Cemetery" is in Lexington, Ky. Thomas was on the Census for 1810, and 1820, he was asssociated with a Mr. McCalla in Lexington on property transactions. Thomas had a son John Wooleston Tibbatts who graduated Transylvania University in 1824, he became a Congressman and Col. in the Mexican War, he married Ann Taylor, daughter of General James Taylor of Newport, Ky. Hancock Taylor who explored and surveyed Kentucky and was killed by the Indians in 1774, (all are ancestors). Any help would be appreciated. Tom

Annabelle, This is a long shot...Preedy COULD be Pretty spelled phonetically?? There is what is now called Pretty Run that starts in present day Bourbon Co. and runs through into Clark Co. Also, current day Bath Co. has both a Clear Creek and a Mill Creek. I think that Bath Co. was Bourbon Co in 1783. I will have to check that out, however.

Hello fellow KY researchers: Can someone advise where Preedy Creek would be listed on a land grand 1773 and where is would be now -- county wise. Also would be interested in knowing where Clear Creek on an 1783 listed in Fayette County land grant would be now. Thanks, On the search for Pritchartts usually spelled incorrectly as Pritchard, Prichat,Pricher, and many other ways.
