I know William is listed as Edmond's father and that Edmond states in the 1880 Census that his father is from North Carolina, but I haven't been able to get anything concrete on him. Anything you can contribute would be helpful. Thanks, Renee McCarthy

Ron, Before we start looking, a couple of questions: 1. Were there any children listed in the 1850 families you mentioned? 2. Did you already check the 1860, 70, 80, 1900 and 1910 censuses for any of these? What counties? No point in us replicating what you have done.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! Census Taker It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked of her children ... Yes, she had quite a few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not quite two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride; And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the colour, the age .. The marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? Or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read some and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God Bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... it's now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and their voices in our heart. Author Unknown

Dear Good Folks of the Garrard Rootsweb List, Could someone please tell me what happened officially when someone died in Garrard County in the late 1800s. Was there a coroner, or was reporting not required? Thank you for your help. I'm very curious to know. Sincerely, Jennifer

My proven 3rd great-grandfather James Alexander was born c. 1780 and died before Sept. 30, 1845 in Randolph County, Missouri. I first find him in Garrard Co., KY in 1799 (appearing on a tax list as Jameson Alexander). In 1804 (and again, in Garrard Co., KY), I have a record of James Alexander marrying Elizabeth Logan, daughter of Timothy Logan and Sarah Boone. By the mid-1820's James & Elizabeth Alexander and children migrated to Randolph Co., MO where they are buried in the Hurt Cemetery south of Mt. Airy, MO. James and Elizabeth are the maternal gg grandparents of General Omar Bradley, five-star general and WW II hero through their oldest daughter Sarah who married Joel Hubbard. I descend from their son John who is also buried at the Hurt Cemetery. I am currently working under a very speculative theory that "my" James was the son of a Samuel Alexander who left a will in Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina in 1784. Samuel Alexander of Mecklenburg Co., NC named his wife Sarah in the will in addition to "young" children Mary, Sarah, Margaret, Esther (or Easter), Elizabeth, Martha, and James. By 1789, one Sarah Alexander (most likely a widow) appears on a Madison Co., KY tax list. Additionally, I have found the following marriages in the Madison/Garrard area of KY which I "think" may all connect back to the Samuel Alexander family of Mecklenburg Co., NC: 1) Mary Alexander married Daniel Nichols in Madison Co., KY in 1790. 2) Sarah Alexander married Timothy Logan in Madison Co., KY in 1793. 3) Martha Alexander married Henry Towles Terrill in Madison Co., KY in 1796. 4) Elizabeth Alexander married George Simpson in Garrard Co., KY in 1798 (w/ Sarah Alexander signing consent and Timothy Logan signing as witness). 5) James Alexander married Elizabeth Logan on March 1, 1804 in Garrard Co., KY (Elizabeth Logan was a daughter of Timothy Logan by his first marriage to Sarah Boone). I have also come across a couple of interesting Mecklenburg Co., NC deeds, which I think may add further credence to my theory transcribed as follows: Mecklenburg Deed Book 11, Page 137, Oct. 11, 1781: "John Dysart of Burke, heir at law of James Dysart, decd, and Margaret Dysart of Mecklenburg to Samuel Alexander, for 60 pounds hard money of NC, 167 A in the Welch Tract on the south side of Rocky R adj the Barony Line and Thomas Wallace. Wit: Thomas Nickel and James Patton. Prvd in Oct 1782 Ct by oath of Thomas Nickel. Sam Martin, CC." Mecklenburg Deed Book 13, Page 595, Aug. 14, 1788: "Sarah Alexander, relict of Samuel Alexander, dec'd, to Dennis Copeland, for 45 pounds, 167 A in the Welch tract on the south side of Rocky R adj the Barony Line and Thomas Wallace. Wit: Oliver Harris and John Lewes. Prvd in Jan 1789 Ct by oath of Oliver Harris. Jno. Rogers, Clk. Pro. Tem." Does anyone have information on this family listed above? I am looking to prove the connection between the Samuel and Sarah Alexander of Mecklenburg Co., NC to the Alexander family I find in Madison/Garrard Co., KY. Thanks! David

I am quite sure the name in question is SARAH POSEY. This census taker does not close his "s". (See other examples on same page.) After determining the name, I looked for her in my index as Posey, and that is the way she is came up there too. Sorry, but I can't help with Peggy. --- DAVID BROWN <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a couple of questions for the List as > follows: > > First Question -- > > >From the 1820 Garrard Co., KY Census, Series > M33, Roll21, Page 105, Peggy Merrill is listed > just below my 4th great-grandfather Timothy > Logan.

I have a couple of questions for the List as follows: First Question -- >From the 1820 Garrard Co., KY Census, Series M33, Roll21, Page 105, Peggy Merrill is listed just below my 4th great-grandfather Timothy Logan. Within the household of Peggy Merrill, I find the following: 3 males 16 to 26 2 females 10 to 16 2 females 45 and over Does anyone have information pertaining to Peggy Merrill? I am especially interested in her maiden name as my 3rd great-grandfather James Alexander (also listed on page 105 at the bottom of the page) supposedly had a sister by the name of Margaret. Second Question -- >From the 1820 Garrard Co., KY Census, Series M33, Roll21, Page 106, I find a woman with a first name of Sarah listed between John Bruce and Richmond Harris. I cannot decipher her surname and was hoping someone (who has access to this census record) could give me an assist. Within the household of Sarah, we find the following: 1 male 10 to 16 1 female under 10 4 females 16 to 26 1 female over 45 In addition to determining the surname of "this" Sarah on the census, I would also be interested to find her maiden name as well (if anyone happens to know). Thanks in advance! David
