Dear Glenn, I couldn't find anything on Hamilton Tomlinson but I found a few others. In Clift's Ky Marriages I found: James Tomlinson, of Missouri, to Miss Louise Hurst of Lexington, Ky. Married at St. John's Chapel April 30, 1837. May 4 Kentucky Gazette. William H. Worthington to Miss Anna E. daughter of Dr. Tomlinson, of Harrodsburg. Married latter place July 14, 1847. July 24 Observer & Reporter. Dr. William M. Tomlinson, of Harrodsburg to Miss Mary Ann Talbot, daughter of A.G. Talbot of Danville. Married Nov 8, 1849. Nov. 21 Observer & Reporter. W.E. Garvin of Louisville to Miss Lucy R., daughter of Dr. J.A. Tomlinson of Harrodsburg. Married Jan 19, 1853. Jan 25 Statesman. Ardery's Ky Courts & Other Records Vol 1 has: William Tomlinson - Fayette Co. Will book B. page 17 - Names sons, Elijah, and Ambrose; daughter Nancy's heirs; sons, George, John, William, and Richard; daughters; Mary and Sarah. Written April 1, 1809. Probated May 1809. Witnesses - John Dogel, John Forsyth, Wm. Gordon, Edmond Wainman. Ardery's Ky Courts & Other Records Vol. 2 has: The Madison County wills has George Tomlinson as a witness for John Hawkins will on Aug 20, 1810 and: John Watts - Wife Sarah; 7 daughters., viz: Ether Sebree, Franky Quinn, Mildred Tomlinson, Betty Vowter, Anny Merry, Aggatha (sic) Turner, Molly Watts. Extrs.: Jesse Vewter (sic), Richard Sebree, wife. Written Feb. 4, 1796. Wts.:Jno Gess, Stephen Eastin, Jno Armstrong, Humphrey Magee. Probated July 5, 1795 (this probably should be 1796). In Perrin's History of Fayette Co. there are 3 mentions of Tomlinsons. The first is mentioned on 245 without any first name, but I believe he is the Nicholas Tomlinson they mention on page 249 in regard to Indian attacks at Bryant's Station around 1782. 245: "Upon the first appearance of the Indians in the morning, two of the garrison, Tomlinson and Bell, had been mounted upon fleet horses and sent at full speed to Lexington, announcing the arrival of the Indians and asking for reinforcements. Upon their arrival a little after sunrise, they found the station occupied only by some women and children and a few old men, the rest having marched to the assistance of Holder. The two couriers instantly followed at a gallop, and overtaking them on the road, informed them of the danger to which Bryant's Station & Lexington were exposed during their absence. The whole party, with some volunteers from Boone's Station, instantly countermarched, and repaired with all possible dispatch to Bryant's Station. They were entirely ignorant of the overwhelming numbers opposed to them or they would have proceeded with more caution. The couriers had only informed them that the station was surrounded, being themselves ignorant of the numbers of the enemy. page 249: One of the most heroic of the brave little garrison, Nicholas Tomlinson, was slightly wounded in the arm. He was one of the most active defenders of his country, and was employed in Harma's expedition in 1790 as a spy. At the defeat of a detachment of the army under Col. John Hardin, on the Anglaize, the daring Tomlinson, being in advance, was literally shot to pieces by an ambuscade of more than one thousand Indians. On page 446 E. "Tecumseh" Tomlinson is listed as having served with the Second Kentucky (of the Confederacy) And last but not least, in King's Abstract of Early Ky Wills and Abstracts, listed in Fayette Co Will Book A: John Suggett, March 5, 1786, Wife: Jemima. Daus: Catherine Merry, Elizabeth Smith, Jemima Johnson. "I give and bequeath to my son, John Suggett, all my wearing clothes, except for my brown colored coat and jacket, which I give to my friend, William Tomlinson." Ex: wife, son, John Suggett, William Cave. Wit: William Shortbridge, Mary Shortbridge. (I notice one of his daughters is married to a Merry as well as was one of John Watts'). Hope something in this was useful. Roxanne

Not sure if you already have this or not but there is a wealth of information (extracted from manuscripts, etc.) about many of the Kentucky Tomlinson family in the book, That Dark and Bloody River, by Allan W. Eckert. -----Original Message----- From: ROGUE8357@aol.com [mailto:ROGUE8357@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 10:46 AM To: KYFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYFAYETT] Tomlinson Dear Glenn, I couldn't find anything on Hamilton Tomlinson but I found a few others.
