I am searching for information on the different DAVIS, PARRISH and WARE families that lived in Fayette County, KY during the 1800's. Any information that you can provide about your family will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jim

Thanks, Lewis Craig is part of the Craig family of the Traveling Church from Spotstlvania-Orange Counties in Va. He sold land to Elijah and William, sons of Moses Cushenberry in 1802 in Fayette County.

Marianne, You know about this website right?  http://www.sos.ky.gov/land/nonmilitary/  There was Lewis/Louis CRAIG in the non-military section but I couldn't find Cushenberry, but I didn't check for the Q version of the name. there is also a messageboard that is run by... I think her name is Sandi and she is a sweetheart and has posted great things.  look for "Sand Gorin's Kentucky Research Tips" & "Sandi Gorin's Kentucky Biographies"  (I just found out about this one while looking for you - something for me to search, lol) You might try the Virginia Chancery (lawsuits basically) records - http://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/  recently on a list they said to look past the date your ancestor was their or alive - 2 people had stories of finding family info that way, I think one was related to land and they gave a lot of family info!

Forgive me for intruding Marianne. I've followed your postings with much interest after learning my Stephen Franklin was a part of the traveling church. I do not know of any connection yet, but there was a post on the Taylor County, Ky list today I also found interesting. I am wondering if any of these names are descendents of our ancestors or if the names are simply coincidental. I just place it here for other Franklin or Quisenberry families who might know these people or can figure out a possible connection. In other words, a FYI. I just got a sense of irony upon reading it.

John Burcham married Nancy Ann Dowden on July 6, 1795. Nancy was the daughter of early Kentucky settlers, Nathaniel and Susannah Dowden, who had come from Western Maryland. John Burcham's parents were from Frederick Co.,Va. Other daughters of Nathaniel Dowden were: Rebecca who married John Cushenberry, Feb. 4, 1791 in Bourbon County and Allesansah who married Conray Bowyer Feb. 24, 1795 - Sons Nathaniel Dowden and Michael Dowden are in the 1789 Tax Lists for Fayette County. 1800 Tax Lists for Montgomery County, Kentucky show: John Burcham, Samuel Burcham and Nathaniel Dowden and Jack Dowden was with John Burcham in Sudduth's detachment. Jack and Archibald Dowden were brothers of Martha Dowden who married the frontiersman, Simon Kenton. Thse Dowdens were probably cousins of either Nancy or Nathaniel Dowden. - Kenton, Edna "Simon Kenton" pub 1930 p. 244. Marianne Dillow

Can anyone validate the birth record of Anne Quisenberry in this record who is the daughter of Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. I need verification on this : I was googling and came upon , "More Marylanders to Kentucky 1778-1828" by Henry C. Peden. We already knew two daughters of our Moses married into the Anthony Lindsay family. I found this is the book: " Anthony Lindsay married Rachel Dorsey in 1736 Baltimore Co. (now Caroll Co. Md.). he died in 1805 in Scott Co., Ky. He is the one that I posted earlier on a story about the Lindsay's and Dowdens from Maryland and Quisenerry's coming to Ky earlier. In the book it says : " Vachel Lindsay born 15 Feb 1773 in Baltimore Co., Md. married ANNE QUISENBERRY who was born 17 May 1774 in ORANGE CO., VA.. died 27 Nov 1842 in Dearborn Co., In. They did marry in Bourbon Co., Ky 20 Mar 1792 as I have seen that marriage record in Bourbon Co., Ky. She is the daughter of my Moses Cushenbery. I need anything from Orange Co., Va that can validate Anne being born in 1774 in Orange Co., Va or if this data is wrong. Any help woud greatly be appreciated. Marianne Dillow

I am looking for a death date on and John Robinson and his wife, Mary Jane Robinson. John died prior to 1870 and Mary Jane died after 1880. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pamela L. Hall Human Resource Director City of Richmond

I am now thinking this is the route Moses Cushenberry migrated from Va to Limestone (now Maysville, Ky. ) I am going to check both Pa and MD records as well as WV since it was part of Va for records. " Prior to development of Zane's Trace, the Ohio River (from Ft. Pitt to Maysville), provided "the" northerly means of migration to the Mason Co., KY area. People (including Simon Kenton) traveled overland, in the late 1700's, from VA-MD and other eastern areas to embark via flatboat at Redstone (Brownsville, PA) -- or other "ports" along the Monongahela River leading to Ft. Pitt and the Ohio River. Many families who were already living in southwestern counties of PA used this means as well. Development of a path or road further westward, from Brownsville to Wheeling (about 1790 or soon thereafter), allowed people to embark directly on the Ohio River at Wheeling. Some people migrated into Ohio Country, west of Wheeling (Indian activity prior to 1794 inhibited this), and later traveled via Zane's Trace into the Mason-Adams-Brown area. Others migrated southward (from southwestern PA), or westward from VA-MD, into what is now northern West Virginia prior to their "moving west.". Marianne Dillow

Upon my question on the migration pattern from Virginia to Limestone now known as Maysville and researching it furher I plead being ignorant. LOL !! 1783 was the end of the Rev War and many settlers came to Limestone (Maysville) from the northwest part of northern Va to Redstone (in PA) on a branch of the Monogahala on flatboats down the Ohio River to Maysville, some 700 miles by water from Pittsburgh. Those who were fortunate in reaching a port of entry had to work their way through unbroken wilderness to some point in the interior. Fort Redstone is now in Fayette Co., Pa. Lewis Craig with his 200 members came from upper Spotsylvania Co., VA by the Cumberland Gap which was the Traveling Church and they traveled 500 miles to reach their destination. The first wagon on the Lexington-Limestone road was in 1783. Maysville was established 11 Dec 1787. Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone were founders of Maysville. In 1790 the town of Washington had 462 citizens. Between 1786 -1789, approximately 12,000 persons landed at Limestone (Maysville.) The Ky part is now falling into place for Moses Cushenberry and his family. He was signing a petition in 1783 for Va to let Ky become a state, He bought 161/2 acres in the town of Washington from Simon Kenton in 1787. In 1786 Moses, Elijah John and Vnicent Cushenberry were at Limestone Settlement , Licking Creek. Simon Kenton and John, son of Moses , both married Dowden sisters from Maryland making them brother-in-laws and Simon taking care of Moses estate in 1792. It is recorded that Simon met a lot of pioneers traveling by boat down the Ohio River to Maysville (Limestone) while he was living there. Now to try and find a needle in a haystack record for Moses from Va to Ky that hasn't been burnt. :) Marianne Dillow

Moses Cushenberry has a daughter Mary who married Nicholas Lindsay, son of Anthony Lindsay and Rachel (Nellie) Dorsey from Maryland. Mary and Nicholas moved to Dearborn Co., Ind. Another daughter Anna Cushenberry married Vachel Lindsay 22 Mar 1792 in Bourbon county, Ky. Bondsman was Nicholas Lindsay and witness was Greenberry Riggs. Moses son , John, married Rebecca Dowden , daughter of Nathaniel Dowden and Susanna unknown from Maryland 15 Dec 1791 in Bourbon County. Credit given to the Ken Lindsay family but I don' know if the part on my Cushenberry/Quisenberry family can be verified by records are not. Here is the story : "Anthony and Rachel Ann (Dorsey) Lindsay were still living in Frederick county (MD) in 1778 when Anthony took the Oath of Fidelity. All that winter the Lindsay, Dowden, and Quisenberry families, made preparations to move to the Forks of the Elkhorn region. In late spring of 1779, they crossed into Westmorland County. (PA) The area within which they lived is now Fayette Co., Pennsylvania. (In 1780)...."The next year all the families moved westward into an area that both Virginia and Pennsylvania claimed jurisdiction. This section is located within the present panhandle of West Virginia. . The wagon train had to retreat back to the safety of forts in Westmoreland County. They would have to remain here until the Indians eased their attacks. This would be anther year. In 1783, the Lindsay, Dowden, and Quisenberry families reached the Ohio River. They built flatboats to haul their cattle, horses, and wagons loaded with only the necessities of life. . The men took turns as scouts, along the south bank of the river. On horseback they kept three or four miles ahead of the boats. . Apparently their trip down the Ohio was uneventful. They reached the Forks of the Elkhorn about late spring of 1783. All that summer they spent time farming and building cabins on land the expected to claim. Because of the Indian threats, Heyden's Station became their haven of safety that first winter. The area where they settled was near the Forks of the Elkhorn, mostly along that river's northern branch. Anthony Lindsay's farm lay within the present bounds of Scott and Franklin counties; however, at that time, it was considered to be Fayette Co., Virginia. The state of Kentucky was yet to be formed. Three years earlier, in 1780, the county of Kentucky was divided into three counties. these were, Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln counties. All of them were counties of Virginia. This was the division at the time Anthony Lindsay brought his family to the Forks of the Elkhorn area. Nelson County was formed in 1784. It was taken off Jefferson county. In 1785 three more counties were formed. These were Bourbon, taken off Fayette county, Madison, taken off Lincoln county, and Mercer, taken off Lincoln county. Settlers came down the Ohio to Kentucky in droves." Any comments are welcome. :) Marianne Dillow

In my other postings on Moses Cushenbery I have not gone into my lineage that I descend from Moses son Daniel Cushenberry, the baby son, of the family. Daniel married Sallie (Sarah) Davis , daughter of William Davis from we think wa from Culpeper County, Va Vincent Cushenberry also married one of William Davis daughters.. both sons of Moses. Here is some info on William Davis : 1782 The first appearance of William Davis is in a deposition quoted on page 294 of HISTORY OF GARRARD COUNTY, by Forest Calico (1947) in which a man named John Bryant states that he visited Lewis Craig's Station on Gilbert Creek, and he states that living there in 1782 were the Craig family, John Price, Benjamin Robinson, William Davis, and others. He stated that only 12 or 15 families were living there at the time. This was Rev. Lewis Craig, son of Taliaferro Craig and a noted Baptist minister who led a large caravan of 600 souls on a long trek into the frontier from Virginia. This caravan is remembered as "The Travelling Church," because so many of Craig's Baptist congregation followed him into frontier Kentucky He was very good friends with Benjamin Robinson. There was also a Absolam Adams. William Davis died in Fayette County in 1823. 1823 William Davis Heirs to Sarah Davis, a slave named Reuben. Fayette County Deeds, Book Y, page 114 October 14, 1823 James Davis, William Davis, John Davis, Benjamin Davis, William Stewart, Vincent Cushenberry, Daniel Cushenberry, and Absolom Adams, the four latter having married daughters of said William Davis, for $1.00 to Sarah Davis, a negro man named Reuben aged about 25 years to be her slave during her natural life and to be emancipated upon her death. Signatures: James P. Davis, William Davis, John Davis, Nancy Stewart, Benjamin Davis, William Stewart, Vincent Cusenberry, Daniel Cusenberry, Absolom Adams, Fanny Adams. Signatures acknowledged: James Davis's signature certified in Fayette County, Ohio.. Vincent and Daniel Cusenberry's signatures certified in Allen County, Kentucky. Polly, wife of Vincent mentioned. Absolom Adams and Fanny his wife, and Benjamin Davis's signatures certified in Owen County, Kentucky. Marianne Dillow

Although our tester in DNA matches the testers from Aaron Quisenberry, SR it does not give our Moses Cushenberry's parents. Even though DNA testing shows kinship it still goes back to finding a record by genealogy to find his parents. I am reading my copy of the Quisenberry book by Anderson Cheanult Quisenberry. John Quisenberry was the first immigrant to Westmoreland Co., Va..." So far as is known he had but three children, all sons, John, William and Humphrey. John , the immigrant, died in 1717 at or near the age of ninety years. His will is dated 23 Nov 1714, probated 27 Nov 1717, Westmoreland Co., Va. He was married to Ann Pope. A witness to John's will is Francis Quisenberry of whom there is no other record. Kinship is not known and he may have died childless. Of John the immigrant out of his three sons it is Humphrey that most of the Ky Quisenberry's descend. William was the eldest son of John the immigrant and since his brother John died in 1695, William inherited the whole of his father's estate; but Humphrey had been making his own way. Humphrey of Westmoreland bought land in Richmond County, Va from John Jennings. It appears to have been the same tract of land sold in 1728 by Thomas Quisenberry in King George Co., Va to John Finch. The Quisenberry's were Episcopalian's and in time some became Methodists but most of them were gathered up by the great Baptist revival sweeping the land. Now.. William , son of the immigrant John Quisenberry, was the eldest son. Some of his line intermarried with the Baynes,, Dodds, Mothersheads, Weavers, Hazels, Deans, Brocks, Popes, Moxleys, Hungerfords, Stoops, Welches, Marmadukes, and Riggs. Not much is known about William but some of his descendants went to NC. He did have descendants named William and Nicholas. Humphrey , son of the immigrant John Quisenberry, had sons Humphrey, JR. and Thomas. Through Thomas (son of Humphrey, SR. ) descends most of the Ky branch. Thomas had a son, Aaron Quisenberry, SR. that married (some say Joyce Dudley). Aaron, SR first appears in records of Caroline Co., Va in 1746 , barely of age. He then moved to Spotsylvania Co., Va . He bought land in St. George's Parish. in 1756. He sold the land 28 Aug 1769 and the next record is dated 28 Sep 1769.where Aaron, SR of Spotsylvania bought 614 acres of land in St. Thomas parish, Orange Co., Va. I have from a good researcher, Humphrey, JR. was born ca 1702 in Westmoreland Co., Va. According to this Humphrey, SR first marriage was to Elizabeth Mothershead and second to Mary Muse. Humphrey. JR is by Mary Muse. Humphrey, SR died 7 Jun 1723 in King George Co., Va. Humphrey, JR. who was born ca 1702 appears to have had only 3 daughters with a son John of who we have no records of. Our first record of Moses Cushenberry that died in Bourbon Co., Ky was in 1783 where he was signing a petition for Va to let Ky become a state, Kentucky Co., Va was discontinued 1 Nov 1780 which was replaced by Jefferson, Lincoln, and Fayette counties. (Fayette County Land Entry records were burned). The only land records still in existence are in Jefferson and Lincoln counties. The earliest land records in Jefferson and Lincoln counties commence in Nov 1779 and the earliest of these reflect the entries which were made while Kentucky County, Va. Therefore, these records are still Ky records. Jefferson County is with the County Clerk and Lincoln County are in Book 1 in the Ky Land Office at Frankfort. I have seen a book entitled, " Fincastle & Kentucky Counties Va & Ky Records, Vol 1 " The dates in Lincoln are 1780. I didn't see our Moses name but it could be somewhere else. In 1780 in Lincoln County it has some names we have seen associated with Moses The Craigs of the Traveling Church from Spotsylvania and Orange counties in Va that sold in 1802 land to William and Elijah sons of our Moses. Ambrose Dudley is there who became pastor over Bryan's Station Church. ... The Johnson, Mallory families from Va,. Nathaniel Pope, Hancock Lee, Fulton Lindsay.... (Moses daughters married the Lindsays)....... Anthony Bledsoe from Va.,...Daniel Boone...John Ellis... John and William Gayle...and Simon Kenton. In 1786, The Inhabitants of Bourbon County had another petition and Elijah, John, Moses and Vinson (Vincent) Cushenberry signed it. In 1787 Moses purchased 16 1/2 acres in town of Washington , then in Bourbon Co., Ky , but now in Mason County from Simon Kenton.. Simon married Martha Dowden and our Moses son John married Rebecah Dowden making them brother-in-laws . The Dowdens are from Maryland. That land was on the Limestone Settlement in Bourbon at Licking Creek. On Dec 1789 Moses purchased 150 acres from Simon Kenton on South Fork Licking Creek, Bourbon Co., Ky. Elijah and Vincent were witnesses. So... if Elijah and Vincent were signing they must have birth dates ca in 1760"s.. making Moses birth date before 1740 I would think. Simon Kenton and Miles W. Conway oversaw Moses estate in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. In 1809, John A. Quisenbery who is a brother to Rev. James Quisenbery moves to Warren Co., Ky and in Oct.1809, Polly Cusenbary was dismissed from David's Fork Baptist Church, Ann and Rachel Cusenbary dismissed Aug 1809, Vinson (Vincent) and my Daniel (brothers and and sons of Moses dismissed Sep 1809. In the 1810 Warren County, Ky census Daniel, Elijah, and Vincent of our line... and...John, Nicholas and Aaron of the Va Quisenberry line are there. This is the time frames as I see them.. We also don't know Ann, our Moses wife, maiden name. Marianne Dillow .

Presley Thornton, C. W. C. >From the book I have entitled " Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenbery family" by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry : "Of the two children of Humphrey Quisenberry--- Humphrey and Thomas, the former returned to Westmoreland county and became a wealthy man. He was twice married. The first wife is unknown. It is believed that his second wife was Elizabeth Carter, daughter of Robert Carter, and grandson of "King" Cater of Corotoman. The will of Humphrey Quisenberry (JR) was witnessed by John Carter and Samuel Carter. It seems by his first wife were all girls, at least he leaves no bequests to any sons by that marriage, and the children by the second wife consisted of two girls and a BOY. His age is not known, the date of his birth being missing, but his death must have been about 1776. By his will he left the bulk of his property to the second set of children, with the older set previously provided for, except to his grandson, John Pope, and daughter Jane Pope. She was the wife of Lawrence Pope of the parish Lunenberg in the county of Richmond. It also appears Humphrey Quisenberry;s daughter An! ne married a Piper; his daughter Bethlehem a Bashaw; and his daughter Mary married John Marshall. This John Marshall was a brother of Col. Thomas Marshall so prominent in the early history of Ky). and the uncle of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the US. " Any information would be appreciated especially on John, son of Humphrey Quisenberry, JR. and Elizabeth Carter. Marianne Dillow

DNA testing results have come back from the DNA testing company and our Moses Cushenberry that died in Bourbon Co., Ky in 1792 is a descendant of the Quisenberry family of Virginia that originated in England and back to Germany. We matched the two men who can prove their descent to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr and his line of Humphrey Quisenberry, etc. But even though DNA results proves Moses descends from this family it doesn't show which generation but it does show that we do have a common ancestor. The down side is that we still need a record to find who Moses parents are. Aaron Quisenberry, Sr's sons are Rev. James Quisenberry and his brother John A. Quisenbery that left Virginia and settled in Fayette and Ckark County, Ky with John A. Quisenbery moving to warren Co., Ky in 1808 with our Moses sons going there in 1810. That is how DNA works but my cousins and I are happy after 29 years of research to know Moses is related and descends from the Quisenberry family. :) Marianne Dillow Illinois

It is too early yet but recent partial DNA results have come back on our Cushenberry cousin and so far is matching with a tester of the Va Quisenberry's in Virginia. It will be awhile before we get the rest of the results back to say Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon County, Ky is a Va Quisenberry and his descendants that migrated to in Allen, Warren and Logan counties in Ky. Will keep the lists informed as results come in as there may be descendants of this line in these counties. It could fall apart later but is looking good right now. Marianne Dillow Illinois
