I'm an easy to get along with person, so go ahead with your normal list. Please feel free to contact me if you are having any problems. Thanx, Ley (female, if you are wondering)

Many thanks to Bob Francis for the Hart letters! They add a lot of personal to History! And, Christine, have a great vacation and an easy move to WVA. Best Regards, Kathryn

Have a great vact.

Hello list! This is Christine, your friendly list owner for the KYFAYETT-L mailing list from Rootsweb. I just wanted to let you all know that I will be attending the Piatt (surname) Researchers' Conference next week, and will stay on vacation until the 6th of July. Overall, there will be no change in the way the list runs. I have found a volunteer list-sitter, so as long as everyone behaves themselves, there should be no problems! Thanks, and good luck, Christine in Chicago (but soon to be in West Virginia!)

THE HART FAMILY Letter by Nathaniel Hart to Draper 1842. 2CC27-2 Thomas, John, Benjamin, David, Nathaniel and Susannah Hart were raised in Hanover county, Virginia, and about the middle of the last century removed to North Carolina (then a now country). Thomas settled near Hillsborough. David and my father, Nathaniel, settled in what is now Caswell county. My father built the Red House and lived there until 1779 when he removed to Kentucky. David Hart lived and died there, his family are living on lands in Tennessee and Kentucky. John Hart died in early life, leaving one child, Susannah, who married John Luttrell, who was killed in an engagement with the Tories and his widow married Doctor John Umstead. Benjamin Hart removed to Georgia and died there. Susannah married James Gooch and died leaving two children, James and Nancy who married Jesse Benton, the father of Thomas Hart Benton and Jesse Benton, Colonel Thomas Hart came to Kentucky in the fall 1775 and David Hart in the spring 1776. My father was here more than half his time from the spring of 1775 to the fall of 1779, he had travelled the Wilderness road 14 times, he was killed on the 22nd of July 1782 at Boonsborough. LETTER BY NATHANIEL HART TO DRAAPER. 1853. 2CC29 Col Thomas Hart was born and raised in Hanover county, Virginia, being the eldest of five sons and one daughter of Thomas Hart of Hanover. The daughter being the grandmother of Col Thomas Benton of Missouri. He removed to Orange county North Carolina about the year 1760 where he married a lady of fortune and where he continued to reside until the invasion of that State by Cornwallis in 1780 or 81, when he made a hurried sale of his lands and removed through Virginia to Hagerstown in Maryland, where he made a temporary residence with the view of removing the next spring to Kentucky. But the death of my grandfather by the Indians just before the fatal battle ofthe Blue Licks, deterred him from his favorite purpose until the spring of 1794. As the older members of his family were daughters, my father (then 24 years of age) escorted his uncles family from Maryland to Kentucky and upon their arrival at Lexington, immediately started on Waynes Campaign, where he acted as Aid de Camp to Gen Todd of the Kentucky Volunteers in the battle of the Fallen Timbers. Col Thomas Harts son, Capt Nathaniel Gray Hart, was afterwards killed near Waynes Battlefield, at the battle of the Raisin in 1813. Col Thomas Hart died in 1807. -- Bob Francis, 1920A Butner St., Ft.

Fellow researchers, I searched my files and came across some old Draper manuscripts of letters from Nathaniel Hart, grandson of the original settler by that name. These are very interesting letters in that they portray life along the frontier. I have maintained the spelling and punctuation--so be prepared for some deciphering on your part. Enjoy! Bob Francis ----- >From Gleanings from Draper Mss. Library of Wisconsin State Historical Society--HART LETTER BY NATHANIEL HART TO DRAPER. 1838. 2CC26 I have been a resident of Kentucky since the fall of 1779 to the present time. I was too young to be an actor in many of the trying scones of that early period but from 1788 until the conclusion of Col Wayne's treaty in 1795, 1 missed few opportunities of joining in the pursuit of such parties of Indiana as made incursions into the section of Kentucky where I resided. From 1779 to 1786 my residence was in the fort at Boonsborough, which my father, in conjunction with others, had erected as early as 1775. He fell by the Indian tommahawk in the dangerous season of 17821 just before the disasterous battle of the Blue Licks and as my widowed mother survived him but two years, from that period I relied upon my rifle for a greater part of my food and rainment. From the fall of 1786 1 resided in the neighborhood of Harrodsburg and the Indians, who then annoyed that part of the Country, generally crossed the Ohio Ohio river between the mouth of the Kentucky and Louisville, passing up on the south side of the river, which was then a wilderness, to McAfee’s Station. I was twice engaged in the pursuit of these Indiana an far as the banks of the Ohio without further success than that of killing a fine blooded horse under an Indian who made his escape. Gen. Scott's song while fishing on the bank of the Kentucky rivers was killed by a party of of these Indians, in sight of his fathers house and surveyor, Robert Todd, as late as 1794, was killed in view of Frankfort immediately before the Legislature convened at that place. In 1780, the Brittish officer,, Bird Col Bird, with his Indian army, decended the Big Miami and ascended Licking river as far as the mouth of Beaver creeks captured Riddles and Martins stations with the aid of his artillery. Some years after this the Federal government, for a while prohibited the Kentuckians from pursuing the Indians beyond the Ohio, but they were sometimes tempted to cross over in disregard of the injunction. On one occasion, I think in the spring of 1788, in the immediate neighborhood of your flourishing city, they met an unexpectedly large encampment of the enemy, who gave them battle and soon routed our little party with considerable loss, Samue1 and Moses Grant, the later of whom had been my school mate the previous year, were both killed at this time. Gen. Wm Lytle, after participating in the conflict, exerted himself in conducting from the ground to the canoes one or two men who were wounded, apprehending that the foremost of the party might push out from the shore before the wounded could reach it, he went ahead and finding them in the act of starting, he was only able to restrain them by raising his rifle and threatening to to shoot the first man who struck an oar till the wounded men could get up. At this critical juncture, when they expected to be fired on every instance by the enemy, an individual, then of some note in the country, threw himself out of the canoe into the river on the opposite side from the shore and patiently held on until the wounded were brought up, to the great merriment of all the rest. But in the spirit of the old injunction "to say nothing of the dead but what is creditable", so it may be proper here to remark that the decendants of this individual have long since distinguished themselves by driving the Indians beyond the Lakes. About the year 1790, Gen. Scott and Col. John Edwards conducted a party across the Ohio to break up an encampment of the enemy who had been committing great depredations on our river craft. On their arrival, the Indians had decamped, but they caught a white man in a canoe who refused to give satisfactory answers to their interragatories, when their patience was nearly exhausted, Gen. Scott demanded of him how long he had been with the Savages. Looking cooly up to the sun, he replied, " About two hours", alluding to the time he had been their prisoner. Strange to say, the party left this individual uninjured, being unable to determine whether he was deranged or totally regardless of his life. My first and only visit to Fort Washington, The site of your city, was in 1794, on my way to join Gen. Wayne's army, and I shall never forget a scene which I witnessed on my return; Cincinnati then of ten or a dozen rough log cabins on the bank of the river. A two story hewed log house, where I found Capt Gordon, an old acquaintance, keeping a house of entertainment, with whom Gen. Barbee, Col. Beatty and myself quartered for a day or two. On our way out, one of our Kentucky Colonels, (who was more remarkable for his willingness to fight than to pay his just debts), had contracted a debt with grocer, which the grocer was anxious to collect on our return, but as it was not entirely convenient, the Colonel refused to discharge it - a writ was obtained and placed in the hands of the Sheriff to arrest him. He was found smoking a pipe tommahawk in one of these cabins with a crowd of officers and soldiers around him and evinced a desposition not to be taken, when the sheriff exclaimed, "Clear the way and let me at him, God Almighty just made me to take such a man". When he had approached near enough the Col reached forward with his tommahawk and gave him a gentle chop on the heads upon which the officer wheeled to the right about and marched off with double quick step, considerably doubting the purpose for which he had been created. We had but little intercourse with the Licking previous to 1790. Frankfort, Georgetown and Paris were fronteer settlements when the U. S. Army erected Fort Washington, and even after that periods Kentucky had several forts or blockhouses on the banks of the Ohio to guard our frontier. In 1791, Gen Scott went to Fort Washington to consult with Gen Harmer in regard to the campaign conducted that year from Kentucky by Scott and Wilkinson. A guard of twenty dragoons was furnished from Lexington, who were equiped in handsome style, the General, himself in ordinary dress. Upon reaching the river he started to lead his horse into the boat ahead of the dragoon when the ferryman directed him to stand aside while the gentlemen crossed over. Some one of the company then whispered to the ferryman that the man was Gen Scott, when he exclaimed, with an oath, that he had taken him for a waiter. This, of course, diverted the old General very much and furnished the material for one of his good stories. I know of no person living in this part of Kentucky who participated in the settlement of Cincinnati as early as the year 1788; My former neighbor, Jacob Sodusky, of Jessamine county, who died some six years since, informed me that he had cut down the first tree on the site of Cincinnati for the purpose of building a cabin there. He was a man proverbial for his truth and integrity as well as for enterprise, having come out with a small party as early as 1774 to explore Kentucky and finding the country much infested with the Savages, they were detained from attempting to return to Virginia directly either by land or water, but ran down to New Orleans, in their canoes, and taking passage on a vessel to Baltimore, thence reached their homes on the South Branch of the Potomac after the absence of a year. When Fort Washington was first erected, the Indiana showed no disposition to kill the regular soldiers for some time, and in consequence of this, the oommander of the U S Army was induced to charge the Kentuckians with unnecessarily provoking the attacks of the Indians. In a short time, however, his tune was changed, for they soon evinced as great a desire to scalp his men as the had done the Kentuckians. Col. Elliott, the contractor of the U S Army, and the father of the present Commander Elliott of the American Navy, was the last person killed in the neighborhood of Fort "Washington that I knew of. As soon as Gen Wayne had succeeded in the objects of the campaign of 1794, Elliott quit the Army and was hastening in to forward out supplies to the garrison, when he was shot and scalped by the Indians between Fort Washington and Hamilton, having directed his servant to make his escape. On the following day a detachment of soldiers went with a cart and oxen with a coffin to bring in his remains. The party had placed the corpse in the cart they were fired on, Elliott's servant killed, the coffin broken open and the corpse much mutilated. On the third day the soldiers, for they were much attached to their contractor, rode to the place and throwing the corpse across a horse, galloped off with it. A few days afterwards, on my return from Fort Wayne, I saw the coffin lying on the road side broken to pieces. Had it not been for the buffalos and other wild game I am satisfied that Kentucky could not have been settled at the time it was, for this constituted the main resource with the settlers who were frequently without bread and salt. In the winter it was hung up in an open house and kept frozen; in the summer it was jerked in the woods and afterwards used in that state, sometimes recooked with butter and cream, of which we had an abundance. There were some 40 to 50 persons in my fathers family. One bushel of salt was as much as we could procur a year; the article was manufactured at Mann's Lick and at Bullit's Lick, in the neighborhood of Louisville, and was procured in the upper settlements with great trouble and risk. I have frequently seen a party of 10 or 15 hunters in the woods for a week with a little bag of salt containing perhaps a gill, which of course was used most sparingly. The hump of the buffalo was the choice delicacy with the hunters; when they were killed near our forts, they were split into and with a pole, or, when too heavy for that, with the assistance of a sapling, bent down for the purpose, half the buffalo was put upon the pack saddle and taken in. When killed at a distance from the forts, the skins were taken off and used as a sack, in which 3 or 4 hundred pounds of meat was carried at a load. But the constant dread of Indians made this an unwelcome business to all but the intrepid, as they were frequently fired on with these heavy loads on their horses, the riders sometimes on the packs, in such cases to get clear of the loads and save their lives was no trifling consideration. -- Bob Francis, 1920A Butner St., Ft.

My first posting ! Seeking info , on my GGrandfather and GGrandmother, who did live in the Lexington area, around 1861. Their names were, Edward Cunningham and Anne Meehan, both from Ireland. They had at least 3 children, and their names were: Mary born on March 04, 1861. She was my Grandmother. John, born in 1863. Edward, born in 1865. Rumor has it, they may have lived on Henry Clay's farm? The family moved to Cincinnati, OH, about 1871. If you can tell me where to go and find this info, please do. Luthar73@aol.com.

A couple of suggestions right off: 1)Indicate what time frame you are looking for these individuals..such as 1840-1899 or similiar..this helps to determine the types of databases and resources available and relevant 2) If you have the given name as well as the surname of an individual give that..it helps to track an individual in the census records even if only by intials...and makes the hunt easier ..their are some of us on the list that have access to various databases, census records included. 3) any collateral information like who married whom even if only surnames...Morgan-Weems or Darnaby-Morton helps to narrow down the search and focus... 4) any information no matter how small you may already have on the ancestors you are looking for ...share it (if not private)...things like a railroader, a soldier, a nurse, a "human fly"...no joke..my greatuncle was one...and until I used the term "human fly" and "human spider" I couldn't find a thing on him...and then great gobs of good info came flowing in from reliable sources: old newspaper articles, photos, etc. off the web mind you. 5) Lastly it helps to say why you think your ancestors are from a specific area...family lore, I found a photo with info on it, they belonged to a church that migrated to the region...all these kinds of clues help the sleuthing process. Once you have some notion of what info you have and what info you don't then you can begin to decide how to ferret out the hard facts...lists as you are doing..good. ...special databases available on the web such as census, death, military records..these can be accessed through a variety of ways...for starters use a good search site/engine like www.google.com or www.dogpile.com or www.ixquick.com or www.mamma.com or www.crawl-it-all.com read the instructions on how to use and go to it... you might enter for example: "Fayette County Kentucky Churches" if you are looking for a website of a particular church that has a "history to it" or you might turn up a document with specific info in it that you are looking for... you might enter an individual's name..particularly if unusual or an unusual occupation: "Bill Strother" + "human spider" and see what pops up. Also checkout other genealogy sites such as ancestory.com or Cyndi's list to find helpful outlines on how to research your ancestors. And don't forget to use the search engine to find genealogy sites.Good Luck, this may be more than you wanted ...but hope it gets you going in right direction. And the best suggestion I ever heard was "start with yourself and work backwards as far as you can first"...Bmar :) ----- Original Message ----- From: <TWDEE@aol.com> To: <KYFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2000 1:12 AM Subject: Re: [KYFAYETT] new on list - surnames > I am new on this list an am looking for any Geyers, Geiers, Wilkersons, > Kirgasners from the Kentucky, Ohio region.

Good Morning Everyone! This is my first posting. I am in DESPERATE need of a soundex lookup for 1910 &/or 1920. Could anyone please, please lookup an ELLIS family for me? In particular, the family of James & Eliza (Jones) Ellis is what I'm interested in. I am looking for a living descendant from their line, and I'm afraid I only have sketchy data: I know they had a son named Harry Ellis. He was born in 1914 and died in California in 1998. Another important fact is that they were a Black family. Please, please...if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! :-) Many thanks in advance!

I am new on this list an am looking for any Geyers, Geiers, Wilkersons, Kirgasners from the Kentucky, Ohio region. Thanks in advance since I'm just starting out I'd appreciate any help or ideas on where to look. thanks TWDEE@aol.com

Not sure this will help but it might. I am familiar with the name WINKLE...used to work for a retail outfit in the Atlanta, Ga area that was own by WINKLE family. If my recollection serves me well...I remember a conversation once with one of the family about where family was from....seems that for this particular line somewhere in south Georgia and that somehow timber was involved...but cannot be absolutely sure about this. I do know that the WINKLE family I worked for where Jewish. You might try searching through one of the sites that deals with Jewish genealogy. May I suggest using a good search machine to find the various sites... a couple of excellent ones are www.dogpile.com and www.crawl-it-all and www.ixquick each has instructions on how to get the best results. I would look up a couple of things 1) the surname WINKLE which should pull up sites that have anything to do with the name including genealogy sites specifically for that name and 2) also locate one of the Jewish Surname sites....not all Winkle individuals will necessarily be Jewish but several are. ----- Original Message ----- From: "unicorn" <unicorn@ezworks.net> To: <KYFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2000 5:55 PM Subject: [KYFAYETT] new on list - surnames > I'm new to this mailing list.

My name is Susan Fisher McClure. I am a direct descendant of a Sylvanus Fisher b. 1797 d. 1860 who was who born to a Quaker Family near Lynchburg, VA (South River MM). The family migrated to Columbiana County, Ohio in 1807. Sylvanus and two of his brothers became doctors. According to information I have, Sylvanus attended medical school in Lexington, Kentucky. Since he married in 1823 at the age of 26, I suspect he attended school probably between the years 1815-1823. Does anyone know of a medical school in Lexington at that time and any history of it? Are there any records of students still in existence? Sylvanus practiced medicine in Ohio and died in Wisconsin. Thank you.

Hi. I have been researching my Mother's family. Her mother was an Asbury who married a Blyhe,who then married Squire Hill and had my mother. I remember my mother, Margaret Frances, Elizabet Hill, saying "My mother's mother was a Toadvine". They were all, I believe,from Lexington, Kentucky. My mother was born in 1911. Perhaps these names will mean something to someone. Thanks. Marion

I think someone on this list was looking for the connection mentioned in the subject line. As it turns out, I have those names among my surnames. Please contact me and I will give what info I have. ~Virginia vathomson@aol.com

Hi List, My parents and I have been researching all of our family lines for about 8 years now. We had been at a standstill until recently when an e-mail out of the blue provided a breakthrough. We actually have three lines of family that we know immigrated through Kentucky; Bailey/O'Bannon in Lincoln County, Schneiders, and the Neely's from Fayette County. My mother is a descendant from the Neely's. Her Grandmother was Ida Neely, born August 24, 1890 in Missouri to John W. Neely and Mary Jane Hirst. John W. Neely was born in September 1863 in Franklin County, Missouri and was the son of James T. Neely (born January 15, 1815 in Fayette County, Kentucky) and Mary Fletcher (born about 1835 in England). James T. Neely was the son of David and Mary Ball Neely. We will continue to research this line for definite connections. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
