For several years I have been searching 2 WOLF(E) lines in northcentral KY. Both lines had the same common first names, occupations, and places of residence. I assumed that there was a connection, but no one (not even the family experts who lived into their 90s knew. Sandra Burbridge of the KYGRANT list sent me some info on a Lewis WOLFE in one of her collateral lines. She warned me that there was an error but she didn't know where but it was enough to get me started thinking in a different way. We have a Lewis WOLFE on the paternal side m/ Melinda LEMONS and a Lewis WOLFE on the maternal side whose second wife was Lucinda ASBURY. I had never considered that his unknown first wife might be Melinda. That was the key. I found an interview in the Barton Papers by James WOLFE (eldest child of Lewis and Lucinda) who mentioned both of his father's wives and children from each marriage so I now know that the 2 Lewis WOLFE in my database are instead one person with 2 wives. Here is my info with my wish list on this line. Descendants of John Lewis Wolf Generation No. 1 1. JOHN LEWIS3 WOLF (JOHN2, GEORGE LEWIS1) was born 1815 or 1812 in KY, and died Sep 1900 in Williamstown, Grant, KY, USA. He married (1) MELINDA LEMONS Jul 10, 1838 in Harrison, KY1,2.

Lewis and Lucinda were on the 1880 and 1900 Grant Co. census?????????Pat has abstract of his Obit from Dry Ridge, KY. I now have the newspaper article describing his death at age 87. ***WOULD like his will.**** I have the will of his father, John WOLF, and his grandfather, George Lewis WOLFE. I have the marriage lines for his parents (John WOLF and Rebecca ROBINSON) He is buried in a WOLFE cemtery near Cordova at the Grant-Pendleton County line. The is where the will of John WOLF shows the family property. I haven't been there. It was dusk, cold, and rainy plus it was a mile walk through farmland to get to it.

Hi everyone, I have been in touch with a man who is putting together a book about the Grant/Pendleton Ashcraft's and related families!! He isn't on the net, doesn't have a computer, yet. He sent me a rough outline and I am pretty impressed! If you have stories about your family line that connects with the Ashcrafts and if you have pictures of anyone in those lines and would like them in the book please let me know. He sent me (very poor scanned copies) of Martha Ann Sipple, Elizabeth Ashcraft, William Alfred Ashcraft, Henry Ashcraft & Sarah Hicks, Henry Kelly Ashcraft, (he went to Missouri, James Richard Ashcraft and Elizabeth. James is in his war uniform! Like I said, these are very poor quality but they will be reproduced from the original in the book. I told him I would ask you all and handle this part of it for him. He is especially interested, as I said, in family "stories" and pictures. His outline is good, not just a bunch of names and dates but facts that read like a story. I am really excited about this and am going to contribute good copies of all the pictures and documents I have to him. The book is going to sell for around $25.00. I know you all spend a lot of time doing this research, I know I sure do! I love the hunting and gathering but not the documenting. I am thrilled someone else is willing to do it! Please let me know if you are interested, Bonnie

Thought this would an interest to some of you. Read it through because it could help you. I know it will for my Addison Townsend. TTYL Linda Hi Gang! I saw this on the Hunt-L mail list and thought it was worth posting here. Here is an unknown to me source of information that *could* be a gold mine. I have "cut and pasted" it below. M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on.
