Hi gang. I am CC for Washington County Oregon, Des Moines County, Iowa, and Franklin County, Arkansas. I live in Washington County, have no ancestors there, so my work is for researchers and for the love of helping people. In Iowa I have Williamson and Beebe to look for....likewise later in Missouri. In Kentucky only Pruitt so far. In Tennessee and Missouri it is Rutledge and Owen. In Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas it is Kelly, Richardson and McGee. Most these ancestors ended up in Arkansas, Oklahoma or Texas.....how considerate of them to move close together and make searching easy for me<GRIN> Most of my people came from Virginia through Georgia or through Tennessee to points west, but I have tracked a bible entry for Silas and Methias Pruitt to Lancaster, KY. Methias was my great grandfather and he died October 16, 1910, family lived in Gainesville, TX then so that is probably where he died. That is being worked on in TX and OK. Methias's son Henry Melvin Pruitt was born May 25, 1882. He was my grandfather who died Feb 25, 1918 (accident) in Ardmore, OK. The Pruitt family "apparently" lived in Lancaster, KY 1882 so it looks like (subject to verification) he was born in Lancaster. Now Henry was a construction worker, but mom said his father and uncle (Silas) were farmers before they came to north Texas. Around Lancaster (Gerrard County) it is hard to know what to look for first, but it seems logical to see first if the members have records with Mathias, Silas or Henry Pruitt on them in the timeframes 1850 thru 1900, or in Henry's case 1882 through 1900. Grandma said they came to Texas around 1900, but could have been earlier, or later, but not after 1908. (They lived in Gainsville, TX then) What kinds of public records exist for 1850s era Lancaster? Did birth certificates issue in 1882? How good were the land records 1850 - 1900? Are there old newspapers extant or on microfilm for that era. What kinds of records should I look for first. Not all the Pruitt's went to Texas. Silas and Mathias parents and cousins stayed in KY, so I bet I still have cousins living in Kentucky somewhere. Happy to exchange what little I know between Pruitt researchers. Don Kelly --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

There is only one family of Baugh (Jesse) listed in the 1860 census index in Garrard Co., KY. though there are many others in KY in general. There are several children in Jesse's household including a Ben, but no James. In the 1870 census, there is a cluster of Baughs in Garrard Co. around Brandy Spring (Paint Lick P.O.), including the Jesse from 1860. One of these is a 15-yr old James working on the farm of a Conos? or Cross? family - name very difficult to read. None of the ages correspond to the birth dates you give for James M. and Ben J. There are no Marion Baughs in the 1860 or 1870 census, but there is one in Bunscombe Co., KY in 1910 and 1920. --- Dora Albrecht <[email protected]> wrote: > I am a new subscriber, and I am hoping for a > connection to my Baugh > line.

I am a new subscriber, and I am hoping for a connection to my Baugh line. I have been searching for the parents of my great grandfather, James M. Baugh, for quite some time now. A member of the Baugh list told me he saw a James M. Baugh on the Garrard 1870 census... so, here's the oral history, along with what I can prove: James M. Baugh was born 11/1851 in Kentucky. He had a younger brother, Ben J. Baugh (seen as Ben J. on some census after 1880, and Benjamin on others). Ben was born 9/1857 in Ky. According to the oral history, there was also a baby sister. Time frame uncertain, but would be after Ben was born and while sister still an infant, there was an attack of some sort on their farm. The mom hid the boys under flooring in the barn, telling James to take care of his younger brother, and not to come out until she told him to. She then went back to the house to get the baby. She never made it. The boys' father, mother & baby sister were all killed by the attackers. After the attackers left, the boys made their way to an uncles farm where they were raised. Various elderly members of my family state different things about the "attackers", some that it was Indians, others that it was army deserters. What I know for certain in that: in 1875, James in in Clark Co., Indiana, where he married my great grandmother, Harriet A. Felmet. I have info on Hattie's ancestry, as well as their children, but nothing on James's ancestry. By 1880, James in in DeKalb Co., MO. Ben is also in DeKalb. Oral history is that after marriage to Hattie, James went back to Kentucky, and brought Ben home with them. From then on, Ben is always near to or living with James and Hattie. The family later moved to Texas, and finally to Pittsburg Co., OK, where James died in 1929. A son-in-law gave info on James' death record that James' father's first name was Marion, mother's last name was Tripett, but no other information is listed, and we are unsure if this info is even correct. I am hoping to make a connection with anyone who might have information on this Baugh line. Would any with knowledge Garrard Co, KY history have information about an attack such as I have described? Thanking you for any help. Dora Savage Albrecht

John was alive and appears on the 1850 federal census, but on the 1860 federal census, Frances Smith is the head of the household. Also, on the 1850 census, John Smith listed property worth $4400; but on the 1860 census, that property appears to have been divided between his wife and children (who possibly include Peyton W. Smith and Hiram Smith -- please see next paragraph). My husband is decended from Peyton W. Smith (born in Garrard County, KY @ 1826) and his wife Frances West (through their oldest son John Thomas Smith, who moved to Texas in 1880, and died in Johnson County, TX in 1899). We think it is possible that Peyton W. Smith is the son of John and Frances Smith, but need to confirm that if at all possible. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
