Bob, I have some early Foster information from the book, Forks of Elkhorn Church, although it does not mention your Thomas. There was a Thomas Foster in Franklin in 1828, but his wife was Lucy Marshall. Please let me know if you want the rest of the Foster information from the book.

Delilah Demar 1832 Does anyone know anything about the Thomas Foster who married Delilah Demar on 20 Dec. 1832 in Franklin Co.? I've tried to conect him with the other early Foster families in Franklin and surrounding counties, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I believe these are the same Thomas (b. VA 1803) and Delilah (b. NC 1802) Foster who were in Bedford Co., Tennessee by the 1850 census, but I can't be absolutely certain. It is believed that his father was the Samuel Foster (b. VA 1783) who was also living in Beford Co. at the same time, but again, this is not proven. Samuel may have been an uncle, or even an older brother. Thomas and Delilah had the following children: Sarah, Elizabeth, Lucinda Melvina, Alexander, James W., Susan, and Frances Ellen. The family moved to Madison Co., Arkansas before the 1860 census.

It was at the end of Benson Valley Road that we called it. I remember the house it sat on the right across from the distilling company.

Hi Lynda. I was born in Frankfort, KY but I don't recall an orphanage in Franklin County. I do remember an insane asylum on Main Street that is now occupied by the State Records Building. Do you live in Franklin County? I moved away in 1961 but most of my relatives still live there. I go back to visit every year or two. I will ask my cousins if they remember an orphanage by the name of Kennebec Hall. Will get back to you as soon as I get an answer.

I am looking for the marriage of Hillis Hunter to Ladye Gillock, 4 Oct 1934. Thank you, Ladye Jane Hunter

GOOD GRIEF -- in cleaning out my mailbox, I re-read this old message I sent back in May and I used an incorrect given name for one of my ancestors: where I used "Charles H. Parker" below, I should have said JAMES H. PARKER. Please excuse my error. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennie & Bob Cox To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [KYFRANKL] Re: Franklin Cemetery book Hello Brenda: I don't know where Peaks Mill is, but that name hasn't come up in my research. Unfortunately, my Parker line is currently at a dead end. The farthest back that I have been able to go is to Charles H. Parker and his first wife Maria Roach. I am directly descended from this couple -- their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Parker married George Jesse Kaze; both Sarah and George are buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. The daughter of Sarah and George was my grand mother Lula Nelson Kaze Noland (husband James Murray Noland) also buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. I have the title to the two graves immediately next to Lula's grave; my husband and I plan to be buried there. Now, with respect to Charles H. Parker -- he was, according to his Civil War pension application, born in 1844 in Gravel Switch, KY (over in Marion Co). After the war (where he served with General John Hunt Morgan, aka Morgan's Raiders, Confederate Army), he came to Mercer Co, KY, where he lived out the rest of his life. He is buried in the Ebenezer Church cemetery in Salvisa, KY alongside his second wife Georgiana Spaulding. He had 4 children with his first wife Maria Roach, and about a dozen with his second wife Georgiana. Courtesy of the wonderful Mercer Co, KY historical society in Harrodsburg, I can trace Maria's family back several generations further from Virginia (although her father is unknown and will remain that way -- he was unidentified even at the time of her birth; her mother Belinda Roach Jr. was "not quite right in the head" for reasons unknown; oral tradition in the family is that she fell off a cliff and hit her head while young; but Belinda's parents Belinda Sr (Roach) Roach and William Roach were first cousins, so who knows . . .). Anyway, many of the descendants of Charles Parker from both of his wives have features and coloring compatible with Cherokee blood, abundant straight black hair and dark complexion. Family oral tradition has it that there was Cherokee blood in the family, but it is unclear from which line. Photographs of Charles Parker's granddaughter Lula Nelson Kaze Noland indicate these features; unfortunately Lula died when my mother was less than a year old, so my mother did not have the benefit of her mother's stories. But I have not found any documentation on Charles H. Parker other than his Civil War pension application. Supposedly, at the time he entered the Civil War at age 16 or 17, his mother was widowed and he had a brother. So, if you have any ideas for me that would be wonderful! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda Duvall" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:05 AM Subject: RE: [KYFRANKL] Re: Franklin Cemetery book > Jennie, > > Are your Parkers from the Peaks Mill area? > > Thanks. > > Brenda J Duvall > 304 Old Station Road > Frankfort KY 40601 > (502) 223-3779 Home > (502) 395-3284 Cell

Phyllis: There may be a glitch in the search function. I was looking for some of my Kaze line in Kentucky, especially Franklin County, where I KNOW they died. When I used the basic search, they did not come up. When I used the advanced search without specifying a county, they did appear as I thought they should. So, I suggest trying the advanced search with just the surname.
