Bonnie, Nothing on an Otho Ashcraft at all, most of it is about the decsendents of James Richard Ashcraft, which went out west. All I have on Eleanor Clark is that she married William Mountjoy Ashcraft, same date as you have. I did however find a teeny reference to Sarah Ashcraft's hubby James Clark among my Steers info. I know it's not much, but if Eleanor was related to James you may find something on her through him. This is what's there. In Grant Co Ky Marriage Bind Book 1860-1865, pg. 116: James Steers and James Clark, 20 Oct 1861, her name is mary E. Clark( signed James M. Steers,James Clark) In Marriage register Book, 24 Oct 1861, James M. Steers & Mary E. Clark: married at Jas. Clark's house: Witnesses: Wm M. Ashcraft, Wm Steers and Jacob Ashcraft "Grandpa" (William Henry) Steers, in his writing to D.S., typed by Clara Wayne Steers, her name is Mary Ellis Clark. In the Grant Co Ky 1850 census, in James Clark's household is Mary E, age 8. Teresa

Hi Bonnie, I really appreciate all the work you and Sandra have done over the weekend. I didn't get a chance to answer earlier since my oldest son was working on spreading his wings to leave the nest. I plan to generate a report for William Harrison Sipple and Nancy Ashcraft and post it to the list tonight. There was also a request for info on Garrett Sipple and Mary Calvert which I will post on the GHOTES and Lower Delmarva lists.

Hi Millard, I was wondering if you could also just become a Crook to get into your data base! Hope you have a sense of humor! I think mine is working overtime today! I will see if I can find anything on your Jesse Crook. Take care, Bonnie

This has nothing to do with Grant County genealogy but I think I have been attacked by the body snatchers too! I thought this was so funny! >> MYSTERIES OF AGING >> >> >> >>My thighs were snatched from me during the night of March 22nd. >> >>It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with >>someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. >>Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been wholly, if >>imperfectly, mine for years? Whose thighs were these? What happened to >mine? >> >>I spent that entire summer looking for them. I searched, in vain, at >>pools and beaches, anywhere I might find female limbs exposed. >> >>I became obsessed. I had nightmares filled with cellulite and flesh >>that turns to bumps in the night. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned >>myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose. >> >>Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again. My buns >>were next. I knew it was the same gang because they took pains to match >>my new derriere ... although badly attached at least 3 inches lower than >>the original ... to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. Now my >>rear complimented my legs lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long >>skirts would stay in fashion. >> >>It was 2 years when I realized my arms had been switched.

Bonnie, Thank You!!!!! That looks like them!!! Sarah Ann Ashcraft is my ggg grandmother, married to James Clark. Thier daughter Mary Ellis Clark married James Martin Steers. I'm going to get off of here and print out that report and see what it has on your guy's, get back to you soon. Thank's again, am most grateful for the help!!!! Teresa

Sandra and Bonnie, Hello again, I'm so sorry!!! I asked for lookup's earlier on Jacob Ashcraft and Sally Norton and on Sally's father(?) David. I was on my way out(kitty's to vet) and totally forgot to give dates. Duh!!!! Jacob Ashcraft and Sally Norton 16 Mar 1817 in Pendleton Co Ky. Consent given by David Norton (Her father?uncle? brother?) I have a little info on Ashcraft's, not much though, I'll look and see if there's anything on the ones Bonnie is asking about, are they related to Jediah Ashcraft b 1766 Va? I have a report or something that someone forwarded to me, have to reformatt it so I can print it out though, will get back to you after I am able to read it. Teresa

Sandy, Bonnie & Joy I wrote an E-mail yesterday to someone seeking info on the Williams line from Grant Co., but AOL tells me it did not go thru so will try again. I have a little data on the Williams line because my triple great grandfather Jeremiah Crook married Jane Williams in Charles Co., MD in 1782. Shortly after they moved to Grant Co., (Bourbon then, I think), because oldest son John was born there circa 1785. Jane had a brother Bennet who served in the Rev. War with Jeremiah and we think he moved to Grant Co. with the Crook's. I note, Sandy, that you found the marriage of Jesse Crook to Susan Williams in your data - Jesse was my double great. Also Jeremiah's 2nd son Robert married Elizabeth Williams in Pendleton Co. in 1811. A fellow Crook researcher has a lot of references to Williams' in Maryland, because he also had Williams connections in his line. Unfortunately, he passed away last fall and all lhis data is still "tied up" in his computer. I have not pursued the Williams line much because I've been super busy building a Crook family Data Base that now contains over 16,000 individuals. Plus I get constant E-Mails seeking Crook references. I can appreciate how much work it must be for you all to answer so many inquiries. I have over a 1000 references for Crooks but have tried not to stray too far on allied lines. To be in my data base you have to have been born a Crook, married a Crook, or been adopted by a Crook. I correspond with several dozen Crook researchers, but so far I am the only one pursuing the Grant Co., KY line. I have most of the descendants of the Jesse Crook who married Susan Williams, but have only limited info on the other 9 children in Jeremiah's family. He surely left a will in Grant Co., but so far have not been able to locate one. He died in 1834 and his widow Jane moved to Missouri. However, son Robert stayed in Grant Co. and remarried in 1825 to a Nancy Anderson - or was it a son who married Nancy? Anyway, I'm willing to help on the Williams line and access my Crook data base for anyone pursuing that line. I've been trying to get back to Grant Co. for several years, but something always comes up. Millard L. Crook mlcrook777@aol.com 15 Circle Drive Mulvane, KS 67110

Dear "Look Up Ladies": I too would like to ask you a favor. Judging by the internet traffic, I can tell you have been keeping very busy helping others. If you don't have time or simply need a break I understand completely. If you are willing to tackle more work I would very much appreciate your help. I am seeking information on the parents, siblings, and children of John T. Flynn and Bridget Agnes Flynn (maiden name "Madden".) John T. Flynn was born 5/10/1837 In Ireland. He died June 24, 1918. Bridget Agnes (Madden) Flynn was born 2/29/1848 in Ireland. She died 3/10/1924. They are both buried in the cemetery at Frankfort, KY. Their children were: * John (Died as an infant) * Dora (Died as an infant) * George 1874-1953 * Isabelle * Katie * Ed * James 1870-1923 * Tom 1872-1926 * Walter * Mary Ellen 1876-1944 * Elias Otis 1883-1940 * Florence 1887-1918 * Francis Leo 1890-1919 I believe at various times in their lives they lived in Grant county, Scott County and Boone county.

Sandra, Did you say you had some Pendleton Co records in those books? If so, would you please lookup Jacob Ashcraft and Sally Norton. I believe Sally's father was David Norton, and I would be most grateful for anything you can find on him. Thank's much, Teresa

Your most welcome, Teresa, will you see if you have any information about the parents of Elenore Clark born July 23, 1807; she married William Mountjoy Ashcraft on February 2, 1828. They had a least one daughter, Susannah June Ashcraft born 1829, she married William A. Clark. What I am trying to discover is the connection between Elenore Clark and the Howe family. Elenore and William Mountjoy Ashcraft are buried in a small cemetery on the Howe family homestead. This farm has been in the Howe family for over 300 years. It is now owned by my daughter, Monica, and her husband Steve Howe. I would like to put together information for them and their sons, Boston and Lincoln. So, if you or anyone else reading this, has any information, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Bonnie

Hi Teresa, This is what I have in my files, if I don't give a source then I haven't documented or proven what it says, this doesn't mean the information isn't true, I may not have done it because it isn't my direct line. In any case, it will at least be a guide and clues of what to look for. Hope it helps! Bonnie Descendants of William Norton Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 NORTON. He married PATIENCE HARRELSON.

Hi Sandra, Boy, we sure got a workout yesterday! I just love finding things for people! Send me the volume #'s you don't have and I will order those first. I am posting this on the list for two reasons, maybe the information will help someone else and maybe someone will see something familiar and help me. O. K., One of my biggest blocks is my gg grandfather, James Austin Webb. I can't for the life of me discover who his parents were. All records I have seen, has him listed as being born in Tazewell, Virginia. I have his birth as Oct. 29, 1819 and death as Oct. 14, 1891. These dates are from cemetery records and a very strange obit. James was in Pulaski County, at least by 1848, as he marries Lucinda Meece there on Oct. 18, 1848. I don't know if he had been there any length of time or was just passing through and decided he needed a wife. He and Lucinda are in Grant County by 1850 as they show up on the census there. They had the following children: Joseph Webb born about 1851 married Lizzie? I need birth, marriage, children, death James Madison Webb born Nov. 28, 1853 - I need marriage, children, death Franklin Pierce Webb born April 25, 1856 married Nettie? - I need marriage, children, death Tennessee Belle Webb born Jan. 8, 1859 married Martin Mann July 19, 1877. She died Jan. 5, 1881, probably in childbirth. They had two children, Fred born abt. 1881 and Charles born Aug. 16, 1878. The boys were raised by their Webb grandparents -I need descendants. Augusta Virginia Webb born about 1862 married a Mr. Kinney/Kenny? - I need birth, marriage, death, children. Harriet "Hattie" Webb born April 19, 1868 married Jefferson Hutchinson. Harriet and Jefferson had at least two children, Webb and Nola. I think Webb Hutchinson married Hattie Maude Elliott and I think Nola married ? Sydnor. Hattie died Jan. 29, 1904, as the result of a lamp that she attempted to blow out exploded and she was engulfed in flames. What a tragic thing! - I need marriage, information about the children. John Samuel Webb born 1864 married Catherine "Kate" Marks May 18, 1881 in Grant Co. He died June 30, 1936 in Grant Co. - I need birth date and children Sarah "Sallie" Webb, (twin) born abt 1870 married Walker Atkins May 4, 1898 in Grant County. - I need birth, death, children Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Webb (twin) born abt 1870 married Clarence Nimrod Ashcraft July 24, 1891 in Grant Co. - I need birth and death Cora Eliza Webb born April 5, 1871 married Otho Stanley Ashcraft July 31, 1895. She died March 23, 1905. These are my g grandparents. What I would like to know is when Otho Stanley married his second wife, Ollie Stevens, it was probably about 1908, there was a mention in the Barton Papers that they had a daughter who died young, I would like to know about her. I think my only hope of discovering James Austin Webb's parents is through a living descendant who might know. There were several Webb's in the area during James and Lucinda's life time, most of who game from N. C., a very well documented family. I don't know what, if any, connection this has with my Webb family but James Austin and Lucinda had to go to Grant County for some reason. I think there was an Augustus Webb also living in the area at that time and somewhere I think I saw that he was from Virginia. Maybe if I discover who his parents were and where he came from, that will link me to James Austin's parents. Well, I didn't mean to write a novel. Thanks to all, I will appreciate any help! I have a couple of other elusive ancestors but this is the one that is most perplexing, it isn't like I am trying to find someone in the 16th century, but it may as well be! Have a great day, Bonnie

Dear List, Hope I havn't totally confused everyone. The last hour I have been putting answers on wrong notes etc. All going to the list so I hope it got sorted out. Sorry I don't even know my own name at this point. I think I have answered everyone but Cathy and Barbara and will try to do those tomorrow. We should do this ever so oftn when someone gets a resource. It is amazing how many of you are out there. I thought there was just two. Good to know there is other interest in Grant. If I forgot you, you are lost somewhere on my floor so write back. Sandy

Don, Finally found a Henry Milner not Miller etc. so I am moving it to top. There are so many Millers and Milners in both Grant and Harrison Counties. 15-20 per book. A Henry Miller in Harrison . this last entry is from her first volume and seems to be the only one that fits as Henry Milner but after reading some of these names, I think they were mentioned else where. Go over it and pull out what is important with you Dunn info and get back to me next week. I hope this has been some help. Let me know.

<Judie, I think everyone in Grant Co in 1860 knew everyone, (grin) so many Beach marrying Sipples and Jumps and Websters.> And don't forget the News... I saw a joke recently: Kentucky, land of 500,000 people and 15 last names. Right on! It is really nice to see the list come alive like this... Judie in beautiful Oregon where it has been 78 and wonderful.
