Hello, I am researching the family of my ancestor, Richard FOLEY who married Margaret Wilson in VA (?) about 1767 and came to KY in the winter of 1779. They stayed first at Bowman's Station in what is now Mercer Co. near Burgin and then moved on to Fayette in the late 1780's to early 1790's, settling at South Elkhorn. Richard was, according to the available newspaper accounts, the first commercial gunpowder manufacturer in the State. Three of his sons, Elijah, William and John FOLEY also were engaged in that business. Richard & Margaret had 10 children, two of whom died unmarried. The surnames of the families of that second generation are: HENRY (of Woodford Co), MILLER (of Woodford Co), MARRS, ROMAN, ROBERTS, STONE, PRICE or WILSON, AND McCLURE. I have lots of information on some of the above families and a small amount on others, but would be glad to exchange information with anyone researching the same lines. I only keep the information that definitely applies or appears to connect eventually, so I DO NOT HAVE everything I have ever found on the above surnames. Sincerely, Nancy Foley Johnson 639 Mint Hill Lane Lexington, KY 40509-1918 (606) 263-1998
