Thanks, I went back through Moses Cushenberry's records after I posted this. In 1787 his first land was bought at in the town of Washington then in Bourbon County but now in Mason County from Simon Kenton. But his first record is 1783 where I am not sure where he was signing the petition for Va to let Ky become a state. Since Moses was at Maysville and Washington he might have come down the Ohio river. But the Lindsay report makes it sound like folklore and there is no documentation that the Lindsay's, Dowden's and Moses came together. I have written to the writer but no reply yet. Thanks for posting these links. Marianne Dillow Jul 16, 2010 10:54:44 PM, [email protected] wrote: >Here is a link from CyndisList.com on the topic of migrations.

Here is a link from CyndisList.com on the topic of migrations. As you say, there was more than one route from Va to Ky.

This is the part I am interested in and hope someone might have some records on this especially my Cushenberry family coming to Ky by this route. Here is the story.... " In the later part of 1776 there were numerous Indian threats to the extreme western settlements of Maryland and northern Virginia. On the 17 January 1777 Anthony Lindsay was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Linganon Battalion of Frederick county. Anthony and Rachel Ann (Dorsey) Lindsay were still living in Frederick county 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. They had heard of George Rogers Clark's capture of the forts at Kaskaskia and Vincennes. It would be safe to travel now. In late spring of 1779, after Anthony's oldest child, Kate Lindsay, married her first cousin, John Lindsay, the wagon train rolled west. Charles LeCompte would lead the way. Kate, and possibly Charles Lindsay, were Anthony's only children to remain in Maryland. They went through Old Town, then crossed the Mason-Dixon Line into Westmorland County. The area within which they lived is now Fayette Co., Pennsylvania. 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 Cox families had two forts in the area. One was above Buffalo Creek and the other, below the same Creek. No sooner than they arrived, the Indians became troublesome on the frontier. 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 flatboats were lashed together during the journey to withstand the spring-time dangers of the swollen Ohio River. The flatboats were nothing more than rafts made of logs. Each had protective sides six feet high and thick enough to withstand rifle balls. Each of the flatboats had a partial roof over their sterns. This provided protection from the elements. 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. These scouts kept a sharp eye for Indians. At the end of each day, they would find a safe place to camp on the south bank of the river. In the course of the day, these scouts would kill enough wild game to feed everybody. 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.

Since I have been posting on Moses Cushenberry and his three children who married in Bourbon Co., Ky to the Lindsay and Dowden Families this is on the internet in different places with the same story. It involved the migration pattern to Ky. I do understand about the Ohio River and Fort Pitt but am wondering if there is documentation on my Cushenberry (Quisenberry) migrating to Ky by this description or if some of this is folklore. I do know the Lindsay family was at Heydon's Station and went on to Woodford and Scott counties in Ky. This is the part I am interested in and hope someone might have some records on this especially my Cushenberry family coming to Ky by this route. Here is the story....

On the 17 January 1777 Anthony Lindsay was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Linganon Battalion of Frederick county. Anthony and Rachel Ann (Dorsey) Lindsay were still living in Frederick county 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. They had heard of George Rogers Clark's capture of the forts at Kaskaskia and Vincennes. It would be safe to travel now. In late spring of 1779, after Anthony's oldest child, Kate Lindsay, married her first cousin, John Lindsay, the wagon train rolled west. Charles LeCompte would lead the way. Kate, and possibly Charles Lindsay, were Anthony's only children to remain in Maryland. They went through Old Town, then crossed the Mason-Dixon Line into Westmorland County. The area within which they lived is now Fayette Co., Pennsylvania. 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 Cox families had two forts in the area. One was above Buffalo Creek and the other, below the same Creek. No sooner than they arrived, the Indians became troublesome on the frontier. 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.

We now have a male tester for DNA that descends from Moses Cushenberry ( no matter how you spell it ) that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. Other testers descend from Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. Now after 29 years of research we will finally know when the results come in if Moses is a Virginia Quisenberry or not. I am so glad we got a male tester from Moses. If others have a brick wall one might prove it by DNA testing through a male by a company who has that surname project. I have proven four lines by DNA testing when we ran out of records and others could prove their line and we matched DNA with them. Moses sons Vincent, Elijah and my Daniel left Bourbon, Fayette counties and was in the 1810 Warren County, Ky.census where the John A. Quisenberry family went to in 1808. John A. Quisenberry is a brother to Rev. James Quisenberry and the sons of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr who some say his wife is Joyce Gayle Dudley. Marianne Dillow Illinois

I am looking for a male Cushenberry that descends from Moses Cushenberry to test DNA to see if they match the Aaron Quisenberry, Sr line whose ancestors have tested their DNA already. Elijah, Daniel and Vincent Cushenberry are sons of Moses Cushenberry who died in Bourbon County, Ky in 1792. By 1810 Elijah and Daniel (my next grandfather) came to Warren and then Allen County with their brother Vincent going on to Logan County, Ky. I descend from Daniel's son James Cushenberry who married Mary "Polly" Pulliam daughter of John Francis Pulliam and Ann Parks who came to the area from Culpeper Co., Va. The earliest record we can find on Moses Cushenberry is 1783. After 28 years of research we believe Moses descends from the Quisenberry family of Virginia but lack a record to prove it. Moses must have a birth date of 1720-1740 in Va since he died in Bourbon Co., Ky in 1792. We have run out of records to prove Moses parentage. I have tested my own mtDNA and also my Mother's maiden name and my Father's line at Family Tree DNA based in Houston when we ran out of records and were able to match with others who tested their DNA and proved our lines. I know there are still male Cushenberry descendants in Allen County and their descendants although I don't know them personally. To prove Moses Cushenberry's lineage I would be willing to pay... MYSELF.... for a 67 marker test for a living Cushenberry male that can prove his descent from Moses at Family Tree DNA. There are five Quisenberry men who have tested their DNA there as of now. If a male descendant would match from Moses Cushenberry on his DNA and matched with a tester of the Va Quisenberry family we would at last know the group Moses descends from. If there is not a match to the Va Quisenberry's we would know to do research for his parents elsewhere but as of now everything points to the Quisenberry family of Virginia whose descendants also came to Warren county in 1808. DNA testing is very simple. All it takes is a swab from the inside of the cheek in the mouth and send it to the company and they give you the results and who you match with. There is no blood or doctors involved. The male tester has confidentiality and the results cannot be given out to other people so no one is compromised. If you have a living male Cushenberry from Elijah, Daniel or Vincent Cushenberry, sons of Moses, I would be willing to pay for the testing MYSELF to finally prove our lineage one way or the other as we are running out of genealogy records. You can email me directly and we can work it out if you would like to take me up on my offer to pay for the DNA testing. It does take a male to test. The testing is limited as there is a special sale of testing as of this date. I hope someone will take me up on my offer. There are male Quisenberry's that have tested that give a pedigree back to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr of Virginia. If we could get a male Cushenberry to do DNA testing we could find out if Moses is a Virginia Quisenberry or not although the records point to it. Only DNA testing can confirm it. :) Thank you, Marianne Dillow Illinois [email protected]

I finally heard from the Ky. Historical Society on Moses Cushenberry's military service and his son Elijah. These documents are in the Index to Military Certificates 1787, Etc., Register of the Ky Historical Society, in the War Records room of the Adjunct General of Ky., marked Military Certificates No.1 , Certificates of Military Service performed in 1787 (c under the Laws of Virginia. ) Does this description they just sent me sound like Moses and his son Elijah served in Clark and Logan's Expeditions. ?? I haven't studied these expeditions. This is the description they just sent me : "The information for E. Cruzenberry in &#8220;;Certificates of Military Service performed in 1787 under the Laws of Virginia&#8221;; (p.51) lists a date of 10 Aug. 1787 for service under Col. B. Logan. The information for M. Cruzenberry (p.52) also lists a date of 10 Aug. 1787, but for service under George R. Clark." Marianne Dillow Illinois .

Shyrock is not the correct spelling for Gideon, the famous architect.  His name was Shryock. The original name was Van Shriech. My mother's second husband was Josephus Shryock who was related to Gideon Shryock. Gideon designed many famous buildings including Morrison Hall at Transylvania College, Lexington, Jefferson County Court House and the building that houses Louisville Actors Theater.  His younger brother, Cincinnatus, was also an architect.

Oh my.. some mores spellings of the surname.... 1790 Bourbon County Tax List: Qusinberry, Moses.... my grandfather Qussonberry, Elijah.. Moses son Now that can be added to the spellings of......Quesenberry, Cushenberry, Cusenberry, Cruzenberry, Coosenberry, Crisenberry, Cusenbary, Quistenberry, Cusanbary, Cosenberry, Cussenbury in my records. Now I wonder if I can find a record on Moses before 1783. .... I feel better now that I see Rev. James Quisenberry and his brother John A. Quisenberry, sons of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. and Joyce Gayle Dudley from Virginia were also spelled Cushenberry and Quesenberry. I think I will add one more spelling here : 1800 Fayette County, Ky census: Ann Cushingberry, (Moses wife), Daniel Cushingberry (my next grandfather), Elijah Cushingberry and Vincent Cushingberry.. all sons of Moses. I don't know how I am going to type all of this in when looking for records on Moses. LOL !!! Marianne Dillow

A few "Shyrock names" collected from Fayette Co Ky in my files: (1) Fanny Troutman married Fredrick Shyrock:- she was d/o Peter Troutman died 1821 Fayette Co Ky deed--May 4, 1821--was from John Hedges, executor of Peter Troutman, of Bourbon County, KY, to Jacob Troutman, reading as follows: "Same conveyed to John Carty by Isabella Lake, and by Carty to Daniel M. Troutman, having departed this life without issue or heir, therefore his father, Peter Troutman, dec'd was his heir-at-law, and Peter Troutman in his last will authorized his executor to sell the above-named estate." Peter Troutman, "being well stricken in years but in pefect state of health," made his will and appointed his two sons-in-law, George Hutsel and John Hedges, his executors "to sell all my estate, both real and personal, namely my house and lot in Lexington." The proceeds were to be divided among his eight children: Jacob Troutman, Frederick Shryock and wife, Fanny; Nancy Low, Adam Troutman, John Hedges and wife, Caty' George Hutsel and wife, Mary; Leornard Troutman, and John Hutsel and wife, Rebeckah. The will was made in November, 1819, and probated in January, 1821. Jacob Troutman paid $1,000 for the house, and the record in the inventory of Peter Troutman's estate showed "Peggy Watkins" had rented the house from January 1 to April 1, 1821, before it was sold. (2) Have a Gideon Shyrock son of Mathias Shyrock who died 1833 and Unknown (3) A Rebecca Shyrock died of cholera in 1833 in home of J Shyrock location Ward 2 Short Street Fayette Co Ky (4) A Mathias Shyrock died 1833 at location Ward 2 Main Cross Street - he was a Captain

I hadn't heard of the surname before. I am not certain but William Cushenberry might have gone to Boone Co., Ky. I know he didn't go to Warren and Allen counties with his three brothers, Elijah, Daniel and Vincent in 1810.

Hi Marsha, I am going to post another line of my Mother's who goes back to the Quisenberry's but they are completely different than my Moses Cushenberry and shouldn't be mixed with him. Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion are my 4th great grandparents. I am going to include Clark Co., Ky and Fayette to my answer as it includes those counties as well.. I have Vivion grandparents. from Va. Two siblings are both my grandparents. So it gets rather confusing. One of my lines is Elizabeth Vivion married Vivion Daniel. They were from Middlesex Co., Va and moved to Orange Co., Va before Vivion Daniel removed to Clark Co., Ky where he died in 1803. There is a John Vivion in this family. There are Webb's that come from that line. William Crittendon Webb was born in Spotsylvania Co., Va and married Jane Vivion the daughter of John Vivion III and Jane Smith (my grandparents.) Also. Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion have a dau Jane that married George Quisenberry who is the son of Aaron Quisenberry, SR and his wife Joyce Gayle Dudley. They have a younger Moses who is a brother to Rev. James Quisenberry and his brother John A. Quisenberry who came to Ky. They were in Clark Co and John A. Quisenberry moved to Warren Co., Ky in 1808 with the sons of my Moses moving there in 1810. Allen Co., Ky formed from Warren. One line went to Loga! n Co., Ky of Vincent Cushinberry, Moses son. Anyway, Vivion Daniel left a very long deed : I will have to shorten this. But in the Orange Co., Va Deed Book 20, pp. 261-266 a Indenture 23 July 1791 between Vivion Daniel and his wife Elizabeth of the County of Fayette, mentions a lot of people. The Vivion children of John Vivion. It also names these Webb people: Austin Webb, John Vivion Webb, William Webb, Jr., Garland Webb, Thacker Webb, Charles Webb, , the sd Jane being a daughter of John Vivion, Decd. Of the Vivions it names: Jackey Vivon, Thacker Smith Vivion, Milton Vivion, Thomas Vivion, Harvey Vivion, Flavel Vivion... and John Vivion left 47 1'2 acres to each. In the presence of William Bush and Robert Campbell. I descend from: i. John Vivion I and Margaret Smith !i. John Vivion II and Elizabeth Thacker... this line of Thackers leads back to my 9rh great grandparents Edwin Conway, Sr and Martha Eltonhead of Va. ii. John Vivion III and Jane Smith.. my grandparents.... Their children are:.. Elizabeth married Vivion Daniel (my grandparents); Jane married William Crittendon Webb, Frances married William Quarles, Sally married Rodes Thompson. Charles Augustus Vivion, Thacker Smith Vivion married Mary Brock, Jacky (John) married Martha Gholson, Hervey, Flavel, Milton and Thmas Vivion who I am not sure who they married and Margaret Vivion who married William Ferguson. John Vivion III received a land grant for 1550 acres in Fayette County, Ky (now Clark County,) The land was located on the waters of Four Mile Creek and it was received from Gov. Patrick Henry on 2 Feb 1782. I have never studied the Webb's but I believe William Crittendon Webb descends from this line and some of his descendants went to Illinois and Missouri. As far as my Moses Cushenberry he was born ca 1720-1740 and died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. Aaron Quisenbery SR and his wife Joyce Gayle Dudley have a son Moses who is younger than mine who married Mary Gatewood daughter of Henry Gatewood and Anne Webb. They were in Spotsylvania and Orange counties in Va. In past years many people confused the two. My Moses would be about the age of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr that maried Joyce Gayle Dudley. Aaron SR's parents are Thomas Quisennberry and Caroline Rawlings. I hope this isn't confusing but my Moses Cushenberry that died 1792 in Bourbon County is a separate line of my Mother's than the Vivion line that goes to George Quisenberry by dau Jane and where the Webb's come into the Vivion line. I hope this helps you and isn't too confusing.

Yes, I agree., The surname spelling has given so many problems in research in various institutions. I have to type it in every way I have seen it in records. LOL !!
