Attention: Beta Wolf, in Alaska Judy Bisig I also am researching in Franklin and Owen Co..............have spent hours in Owen county. I am researching the KNOX and SHELTON families....... Austin KNOX and wife Susan Ann ELLISTON Castleman, married 1834 Gallatin Co., are buried at the Bethel Baptist Cemetery, on 227 about 2 miles west of Wheatley, in Owen County. I can not prove the father of Austin.......tho' I know he is part of the Robert KNOX / Elizabeth Gill family. Robert was born in Balleymoney, Ireland in 1758 , came with family James Knox/ Lady Elizabeth Craig into Chester Co. SC in 1867. First son of Robert / Elizabeth was James , born 1785, in SC. James and Robert moved to Franklin Co. James married Mary McCreary. I believe the father of Austin to be either James, born 1785, or Robert, born 1758 Austin was on the estate settlement of Robert's second wife, Mille Bohannon, in 1860. Shelton family info I have: Wm. Hayden Shelton b. 1839, in Owen County. On his Death Certificate, his father is said to be Frederick. There was a Frederick on the 1840 census, Owen County, with a female(wife) and two young males, one of which would be Wm. Hayden, and the other is the next age range, so about 5 years older. Does any of the above info mean anything to you..............Have you met any of the Knox or Shelton people?? I'm also working on the Thomas and Quisenberry families in Owen Co. Phyllis Counts Raker
Actually those names do come up in my research. I have a Robert Shelton married to Alpha Vawter - Alpha's parents connect into my Towles line I have an Andrew Thomas married to Sarah Burton - Andrew's parents again connect into my Towles line I have a John Quisenberry married to Elizb Claxon (I have a number of Claxon's and Claxon/Towles) - Elzb's parents connect back to the Thomas line.... does any of that sound familiar to you? ----- Original Message ----- From: Phyllis A Raker <[email protected]> Date: Monday, May 15, 2006 7:36 am Subject: [KYFRANKL] Owen, Franklin Co research To: [email protected] > Attention: > Beta Wolf, in Alaska > Judy Bisig > > I also am researching in Franklin and Owen Co..............have spent > hours in Owen county. > > I am researching the KNOX and SHELTON families....... > > Austin KNOX and wife Susan Ann ELLISTON Castleman, married 1834 > GallatinCo., are buried at the Bethel Baptist Cemetery, on 227 > about 2 miles > west of Wheatley, in Owen County. > I can not prove the father of Austin.......tho' I know he is part > of the > Robert KNOX / Elizabeth Gill family. > Robert was born in Balleymoney, Ireland in 1758 , came with family > JamesKnox/ Lady Elizabeth Craig into Chester Co.
