George Denny (Alexander2, George1) b. prob. NC, 10 Sep 1774, brought to Madison Co, later Garrard Co, KY at the age of 6 years by his parents Alexander & Mary (Allison) Denny. He grew up on the family farm on Paint Lick Creek. When his father moved to MO, George agreed to purchase his 200 acres for $2000. This agreement was dated 2 June 1818. For some reason the final settlement was never made, a law suit resulted, apparently of a friendly nature, and the suit dragged on until after George's death. In August term, 1844, his father's heirs were instructed to convey the land to George's executors. George m#1 in Madison Co, KY,12 Jan 1796, Sally Graham.

Hello everyone, I am desperately trying to find out the paternal lineage of my grandmother. Her name was Mary Ellen Prueitt - she was born 28 Oct 1919 in Lancaster, Kentucky. I have seen the index for her birth on Ancestry, and all it states is her mother's name - which I already knew, Sarah Prueitt. On Mary's social security application, she states her father as Charles B. Spratt. There is a bible entry from my great grandmother Sarah's bible that gives Charles' birth date as 1872, and his death date as 26 Oct 1941, but it does not state where he was born. I don't think Mary knew her father very well, and I am not sure Sarah and Charles actually married - this is what I am trying to determine: Did they marry? And who were Charles' parents? Any help is greatly appreciated. Dianne McLean In Arizona
