Here are some deaths I found that occurred in Grant Co. in 1852. What a shame so many from the same family died at the same time! August, 1852 - Isaac Wortman, age 55; married; father, Richard Wortman; place of birth, Grant Co.; cause, Cholera August 29, 1852 - Ellanore Cook, age 31; single, parents, William & Rachel Cook; place of birth, Scott Co.; cause, Cholera. August 15, 1852 - Rachel Cook, age 56; married; mother, Mary Wortman; place of birth, Scott Co.; cause, Cholera. August 5, 1852 - Manlius T. Cook , age 39; married; parents, William and Rachel Cook; place of birth, Scott, Co.; cause, Cholera. August 9, 1852 - Mary Cook, age 25; married; mother, Mary Jump; place of birth, Grant Co.; cause, Cholera. Now for how they are related: Isaac Wortman was a son of Richard Wortman and Mary Rancy . Isaac's sister was Elizabeth Wortman, wife of James Richard Ashcraft. Rachel Cook was the daughter of Richard Wortman and Mary Rancy, sister of Isaac and Elizabeth Wortman Ashcraft. Elenore Cook was daughter of Rachel (above) Wortman Cook and William Cook. Manlius T. Cook was the son of William Cook and Rachel Wortman Cook, brother of Elenore. Mary "Polly" Cook was the wife of Manlius Cook, daughter of Robert F. Jump and Mary Holiday. Hope this helps someone, Bonnie P. S. here is one for Frakes May 5, 1852 - Betsey Church, age 45, married; parents, Henry & Milly Frakes; residence, Grant Co.; place of birth, Grant Co.; place of death, Grant Co.; cause, Pneumonia.

Hi Janice & All, I found that death record on a microfilm I rented, it was Grant County Vital Statistics, or something like that. Most of the records are very difficult to read, poor condition, and who ever wrote them, did so with a flourish. Martha was at the top of the page and fortunately, easy to read. Somewhere, I have a list of the known graves in the Ashcraft Cemetery on Peaceful Hollow Rd.; I have looked for it, but as usual my papers are scattered everywhere. I don't know if Martha was listed or not, but it is probably safe to say if she isn't, she is in one of the unmarked graves there, since she died in 1852 and the cemetery was definitely being used at that time, James Richard, her father in law was still living then. I tried to scan the letter from Ida Bethel Ashcraft but the print is so faded it is unreadable in that format. I will try to get to a copy machine this week but I don't know if it will turn out any better. In the mean time here is what it says: Knoxville, Kentucky, (Sunday is written vertically between Knoxville and Kentucky) February 23, 1903 Mrs. Cora Webb Ashcraft, Knoxville, Ky My dear friend, Replying to your kind and consoling missive of several weeks ago. I beg leave to say that it afforded me a great deal of consolation and encouragement! We know that we have a "Sincere Friend," in the hour of affliction; my dear companion has gone to that "Heavenly Mansion"; "from whence no traveler ever returns". And God being being my divine helper I will endeavor to meet him in heaven. I will also raise my "Little Ones" in the fear of Him that "Knoweth all things." Please accept my thanks for your proffered help also your "husband's" Nothing would afford me greater pleasure than to accept your kind and welcome invitation to join your "Happy Circle," but I greatly regret the inability to do so as the Children, and myself haven't been very well, since the death of my husband. But Cora, just as soon as the weather clears, I will come to see you. Thanking you for your sympathy and trusting to hear from you soon. I Remain as ever, Your Sincere friend. Ida Bethel Morehead The "being being" written above is how it is in the letter. The early years of 1900 were filled with loss for this close knit community. My great grandmother, Cora, mentioned in the letter, would loose her dear sister in a dreadful fire within the year. The following year, 1905, Cora herself would die from complications of pneumonia. Cora and her husband, Otho Stanley Ashcraft, had decided to move to a house in Dry Ridge the fall of 1905 so that my grand father and his little sister would be close to school. My grandfather, age eight, became ill with a virus, and Cora, while nursing him, caught the virus and died. My grandfather and his little sister, Audrey, lived with relatives for a couple of years until my gg grandfather married Ollie Dean Stephens. From all accounts, Ollie was a wonderful woman. My mother loved her dearly. Ollie and Otho had a daughter, but tragedy struck again and the daughter died when she was about two years old. My grandfather had known Ollie for quite sometime, as I have an autograph book that belonged to Ollie. On August 10, 1888, Ollie's birthday, my great grand father wrote "Remember well and don't forget, You have a friend in Knoxville yet." I don't know much about Ollie's family; I believe her father owned a store in Independence, Ky. I think she had a sister, Carrie, and a brother, Forrest. Cora was a member of the DAR, she made a remembrance quilt concerning it; my aunt, Barbara, now has the quilt. Other people, who's names I can read, that signed the autograph book were: Clarence E. Bagby, Carrie Stephens, Rosa, (looks like Sweeney), M. E. (looks like Sweeney), and Belle Yelton. Several signed with just their initials. Take care, Bonnie

Bonnie - Eleanor Clark, born 23 July 1807, was a sister to my GGgrandfather, Ely Clark, born 1812. If there are names, birthdates, death dates, or whatever on the headstones, I would like very much to have that info. I do know how hard it is to catch up with one's children. <G> Thanks. Judie in Oregon where is is finally hot.

Hey list, Major mystery here...Does anyone have Stephenson's? The info we recieved on William Robert Stephenson, son of Samuel is as follows: William Robert Stephenson b/ cz 1851 in Boone Co ky married Elizabeth Francis Penick Oct 10 1872, Then married Hester Chipman aft 1882. Our info has him d/ 1929 Kenton Co, (but also says he was 65, seems more likely he was abt 80??) And I have not found a d/c for him. Elizabeth d/ aft 1882(??????) Have Williams mother as Mary Jane Read/Reed. Found a site that has him m/ #1 Hester Chipman #2 Fannie E. Penick and his mother as Mary Middleton... Could someone please help!!!!!!!!!! I'm dazed and confused!!!!!!!! Teresa

Hi Judie, I will probably talk with Monica tomorrow and ask her about the graves. Who knows, they may have already taken pictures of the tombstones; if not, I will when I go there in a couple of months and send copies to you. Please keep in touch, I have a tendency to forget! I'll post to this site before I go and if the request is with in my capacity to accomplish, with the limited time I have, I will try to get VITAL information. The library in GC does not have a copying machine and they don't have many microfilms. The court house is a very active area and a researcher has to compete with lawyers and clerks doing their normal thing; the people are very nice, but they do have their own jobs to do and we all have to respect that. I am interested in who is buried in that little plot too. You will be happy to know that unlike some cemeteries, this one is very well maintained. It is canopied by wonderful old trees, in the corner of their front lawn, next to a small pond. Not a spooky thing about it! Take care, Bonnie

Hello, I am new to the list. I am hunting the children of a William Robert Stephenson born 20 Feb 1852 not sure where, died 5 Sept 1929 Grant Co.KY married Elizabeth Frances Penick on 10 Oct 1872 in Grant Co. Ky I think this was his second marriage. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you Tami megans@alink.com

According to "Kentucky and Her Counties" by Wendell H. Rone, Sr., Woodford became a county in1789, from parts of Mason, Lincoln, and Jefferson. On a map in the book, I see, that in 1794, Franklin, Scott, Fayette, and Mercer surround Woodford. At the time around 1789 -1790, Woodford extended north to the Ohio River. It encompassed what [looks to me like] the present day counties of Boone, Kenton, Gallatin, Grant, Scott, Owen, Franklin and perhaps some additional counties. Hope this helps a litt.e Shirley "Donald Power Maxwell, Jr., M.D." wrote: > It appears that my POWER(s), MILNER(Miller), and DUNN (Done) families lived > along Crooked Creek area....they didn't move but the county borders changed!!! > > Is there a mail list and or site for "early" Woodford Co., Ky...large areas > were apparently absosbed by the surrounding counties in 1790-1800...? > > Any ideas where to look for Woodford Co records ca. 1790-1800? > > Don Maxwell > > ==== KYGRANT Mailing List ==== > The Schmidt Honeycutt Family Homepage > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/6681 > includes the Jump and Rankin Family

Is there a mail list and or site for "early" Woodford Co., Ky...large areas were apparently absosbed by the surrounding counties in 1790-1800...?

I have read the postings on this topic with interest, and here's why. About 10 years ago I began reading the 1850-60-70 and so on US Federal Census in the Kenton County Library, researching various lines of my family in the Southern part of Kenton County, KY. One day I came across a listing, down the road from the family I was researching, to this day the listing troubles me. The family was listed as "UNKNOWN". There was a man - head of the household- listed as Jim UNKNOWN, wife, I forget her first name, lets say, Mary UNKNOWN, and several children, all listed as surname Unknown. I have always wondered, did my relatives know that a family lived there, but they only knew their first names did the census taker not visit them, merely asked my relatives who lived around there were they not home that day, however the census taker knew someone lived there did the family themselves know know their surname [I would think this unlikely] or, most importantly, exactly, what did happen Of course, I will never know the answers to those questions. As you all know, southern Kenton County was fairly well populated by the 1850s, certainly by the 1860s, as was most of Grant County. People were not isolated, and saw each other with some frequency, so the "Unknown" family should have been known by someone. Was the census taker lazy that day, did the Unknown family not want to be listed in the census, but did allow the correct number of children listed? I am only posting this message to let others know that families certainly were missed in the various census listings. Shirley > > > > > > ==== KYGRANT Mailing List ==== > Crazy.... is a relative term in MY family.

Hi Teresa, I have found some of my ancestors in the same census, in two different locations! I think the census taker wrote down anyone in the house at the time. The reason they were listed twice is because one census was taken one month, the other, the next month, they must have been visiting or had moved during that period. Not much help, sorry. Take care, Bonnie

Can't find mine in the 1850 census either. They were in Garrard county in 1848 for birth of oldest son and in AR 1854 for birth of next child that was alive for 1860 census. Have looked KY , IN, AR.

I wish I knew how to find death records. I have been trying to find a death record for my gggrandmother for 2 years. They were not required to be kept until 1912. So you need to look for a will or guardianship etc. maybe a newspaper obiturary. Vol IV of Pease has guardainship records for Grant Co for 1838-1871. I could not find a listing for Moorehead or alternative spelling. This may be too early and there may be other guardian records in the books I do not have. Sorry I could be of more help. Good Luck.

Debbie, You are not any trouble. I have just done so many lookups that I don't remember one from the next. I do make mistakes but sometimes the information availabe to us is a contradiction. On the first question, it appears I have confused you with my format. I was not saying that CK Simpson was born to Morgan Simpson. I was giving you a list of Simpson births that were similar to the birthdate you provided. ON CK SIMPSON BIRTH was my heading. I am deleting my words from the message and resending it. I also sent the birth of Stephen Beverley Simpson because of the birth date. I am not sure what the question is. I did check to see if I made a typo and I copied it exactly as in the book. I did not study your family sheet, but are they the same parents?Could they be cousins? If so perhaps Janet Pease translated incorrectly. I don't think we are talking about twins?You might want to call the Grant County Clerks Office and give the reference. "1858 births" on page 1. Perhaps they can check the entry for that date. If my response doesn't make sense it is because I am kinda of confused. what I amsaying is I really don't know anything other than what is written in this book. I am sorry I confused you on the first question with my format. Genealogy is difficult enough. On the second question , there is obviously an error in either the Pease data or the data you already have. Could they have changed his name after he was born? Perhaps they just have his birthday wrong and this is one of his siblings.I would find some way to check the original courthouse record and bring it to the attention of the other source. I am sorry. I wish I had a better answer. Sandy ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah K.

Connie, Thank's much, it just seems so impossible that these people just disappeared in 1850. They were on the 1840 and 1860 Bracken co census, youngest child would have been born in 1849/50... Did I hear there were UFO's sightings back then??? lol teresa

Hi all, My question is, if a family were visiting relatives when the census man came around would they be listed on that county's census or just left off? I can understand being unaccounted for if they were in transit, but wouldn't someone in thier home county have told the taker that they lived there? Or was it common to be over looked altogether? I know...I'm grasping at straws here,but these folks are making me crazy!!!!!!!!!! lol Teresa
