Surnames: Sprinkle, White Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1AB.2ACI/3751.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I'm not sure if this is still appropriate to the Greenup Message Board. . .but here's my reply anyway :-) (Perhaps any follow-up that does not apply to Greenup should be off board/list; you can e-mail me at [email protected]) Vic posted a transcription of the 1880 census for the David K. Sprinkle family of Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH, mentioning that 5 out of 6 of their children were born in KY. Vic suggested that was probably Greenup Co., KY. I suspect that they were born in Lewis Co., KY. Here is the David K. Sprinkle family over the years, followed by the Frank White family. (As recap, Frank White married a Sprinkle girl. The Greenup Co. history suggested her name was Carrie. I believe it was Estella ("Stella") Sprinkle who married Frank White. Interestingly, Estella had a sister named Carrie; however, she married a Salisbury.) 1860 Census, Lewis Co., KY, Pg. 868-9, Dwelling & Family 782: D. K. SPRINKLE, 23, Wagonmaker, b. OH Sophia, 21, b.

[end quote] I'm curious about the name Carrie Sprinkle. My understanding is that Frank White married Estella ("Stella") Sprinkle, d/o David K. Sprinkle & Sophia Kerr. David K.

While the main subject of the passage is the White family of Greenup County, KY and Scioto County, OH, several additional Greenup County families are mentioned. As a disclaimer, I will say I am aware that there is dispute on whether or not Greenup County's Abel White was truly connected to the Mayflower Whites, and also whether Sarah Comfort (J. Bradley Arthaud states his marriage was to Sarah "Brock" of Woodstock, CT) was his wife as opposed to Rebecca Solace. It is possible he had two marriages. Other researchers feel there are two Abel Whites- I have articles that discuss that topic. We do know however Abel White's children are as they are listed here and in his Greenup County probate. For those wanting more information regarding Arthaud's reserach, look for his two articles: "Abel White of Kentucky: Unrecorded Son of Nicholas and Sarah (King) While of Norton, Massachussetts?" in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol 148, Whole No 591, July 1994, pp. 259-264); and "Abel White (Ca. 1758-1823) From New Hampshire to Kentucky", in The American Genealogist (Vol. 48, No. 4, Whole No. 192, October 1972, pp. 234-237). I have both of these posted for now on my webpage at www.ciurlionis.net/varis I hope this is helpful --Vic Varis [email protected] ------- WHITE The greater part of this history of the White family is taken from Evans' History of Scioto County, Ohio. Not many families can trace their ancestry, as do the Whites, back to the landing of the "Mayflower" in 1620 in the harbor off the coast of Massachusetts. William White and his wife, Susanna Fuller White, came to America on the "Mayflower." They had two sons, Resolved and Peregrine. Peregrine White was born on the "Mayflower" December 10, 1620. He married Sarah Bassett, daughter William Bassett, who came to Plymouth on the "Fortune" November 10, 1621. Their children were Daniel, Jonathan, Sarah, and Mercy. Daniel (1649) married Hana Hunt at Duxbury, Massachusetts, August 19, 1674. Children of Daniel and Hana Hunt White were John (1675), Joseph (1678), Thomas (1680), Cornelius (1682), and Eleazar (1686). Eleazar married Mary Doggett and they had nine children. Nehemiah was the eldest and his children were Philip (1732), Nicholas (1734), and Seth (1737). Seth was born at Woodstock, Connecticut, moved to New Hampshire, and from there to Kentucky in 1779. The children of Seth were Seth Jr., (1759) and Abel. Abel came with his father, Seth Sr., down the Ohio River on a raft with their household goods and families, and landed about two miles below Greenupsburg. Abel had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War and was discharged in 1777. He married Sarah Comfort and they had ten children. His will is on record in the clerk's office at Greenup and is dated October 3, 1823. It names the following children: Seth, Susannah, Abel Jr., Sabina, Rebecca, Polly, Daniel, Anna, John, Asie, Jeremiah, Joel, and Sally. Witnesses were John Fuqua, James Osborn, John Craycraft, and James L. Hyde. Daniel White was named executor of the will. Daniel White married Sarah Osborn of Greenup County, September 22, 1814,and they were the parents of eleven children. The third child, Osborn, married Maria Chamberlin and their children were Anson, Abraham, Daniel, and Sarah Cooper. Daniel was born October 4, 1842, on Dogwood Ridge, Scioto County, Ohio. he married (1) Eliza Noel in 1866 and had one son, Frank, a jeweler in Portsmouth for many years, and (2) married Belle Wilhelm and they had one son, Abraham. Frank White married Carrie Sprinkle of Greenup County and they were the parents of a daughter, Pearl, and a son, Leslie, now a resident of Lucasville, Ohio.

Please join me in thanking Scott Wiesman for contributing numerous Greenup County Death Lists to the Greenup County KyGenWeb site. You can find the new information at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygreen2/data.html#deaths I pulled that page up with netscape last night and realized that the newer version of netscape does NOT like the coding on the page; everything is jumbled together. IE still shows it fine. I'm in the process of fixing errors in coding (my fault). It should be easier to view in a couple of days. As you view the death indexes, if you find I made a mistake in creating a page, please let me know. I have a couple more cemeteries to go and a veterans page.

Derre (and list), I am not writing about Abel White although that is where I discovered your connection to James Osborn and Margaret Ann McGlone. Osborn(e) is my husband's line through Manoah (Noah). I have James married to first Abigail Greenslate but do not have her birth, death or marriage dates and later married to Margaret McGlone December 25, 1812 (Is there a verification of this date? I got it from a message board but there was no verification mentioned.). I am not certain if Manoah was Margaret's child or Abigail's child since I do not have a marriage date for Margaret or a death date for Abigail. I only know that in 1850, Margaret and James are the parents on the census. Can you help me with this? Are there any certificates or church records? The children that I am aware of are Squire b. May 30, 1835, Silas b. 1827, Nathan b. Jan 1828, Moses b. c 1831, Manoah b. c 1833, Owen b. c 1834, Lucinda b. c 1835, Malissa 1837, Amanda 1838, Ashley 1839, Serapta 1841, Thomas 1842, Charles 1845, Ellen 1847, Milanda 1848, America Martha, April 1850. If the Osborn-McGlone marriage took place in 1812, there must be other children. In fact in the census of 1850, I see many other Osborn(e)s, living close by, that I cannot connect to this family. My mother-in-law, Malinda Osborne Johnson, recently died but helped me with many early connections but she was never aware of James the father of Manoah (she only knew as far as Manoah). Her father must have been named after this earlier James, as his name was James, too. Her father is the son of Noah. Her father and his siblings are: James A. Osborn, Dec 17 1859 - Feb 17, 1931, Elizabeth, Dec 25, 1856, Nathan July 7, 1862 - June 10, 1938. James and Nathan were married to sisters, Helen Sidney Anderson and Frances America Anderson. Malinda was named after her 2 grandmothers, Malinda and Helen. She was Malinda Helen Osborne. It is interesting that this family uses the name both ways (Osborne and Osborn) Malinda always used the e but when I found her birth certificate after she died I see that on the birth certificate there is no e. She once told me a story about that. She said originally there was an e but somehow people stopped using the e. After her father lost out on an inheritance because there was no e on his name some of the family started using the e again. There is a story that her mother told her that her grandfather sold Baltimore. She always believed that since her mother told her the story that it must have been her mother's father, Levi Lewis Anderson who sold Baltimore. Recently I found a reference in the MD Historical Magazine that an Osborne sold 'Baltimore on the Bush' and that a log cabin on the site became the first court house for Baltimore County. Baltimore on the Bush (river) is located in Harford County currently but at that time it would have been part of Baltimore County since Harford County formed at a later date. In the magazine article it states that the Osborne's moved to North Carolina and I note that James came from Rowan County, South Carolina. There could be something here, I believe. Interesting how old stories can lead to interesting findings. Hope to hear from you and exchange information. Jean

Dear Vic; Tried sending to your email , but was kicked back what is the correct address? I notice you believe he was married to Sarah Comfort .. do you have proof of marriage?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the list, though I am also on the Scioto CO, OH list so some of you might see me there. WHITE, Abel is the primary family I am intertested in. This is Abel White (1758-1823) that originates in New England, probably VT, came to Greenup Co via Steuben Co, NY and Scioto Co, OH. He's said to be connected to Peregrine White by some. We are connected to Abel through his daughter Rebecca White (1789-1867) who married Nathaniel Searl (1788-1855) of Scioto Co. Also I am interested in a Mercy White (1815-1864, born in NY) who married Nathaniel and Rebecca Searl's son Wyatt Chamberlain Searl (1814-1859). Haven't been able to identify her as of yet, but I expect she is probably a neice of Able or a cousin. Also, does anyone happen to know where Able White is buried? I read one account that said he died back in Scioto Co. Would love to share material with all White relatives. Vic & Kathy Varis

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1AB.2ACI/3750.1 Message Board Post: I think you are in the right area. In the Greenup cemetery book, that cemetery is listed as follows: "Off Route 7, turn left across from Allen's Chapel; go through Potter's barnyard and up hill." As you know, Route 7 goes right through Maloneton. And I see an Allen Road just north of Maloneton. However, be advised that in all the names given in the book for that cemetery, George Imes is not one of them. There are no Imes listed, not at this cemetery or any other in this book. It says that there are "many" unidentifiable graves there. So it would be my guess that he either does not have a marker or his marker is one of those sandstone types that wash away over a period of time, making them unreadable. It also sounds like it is located on someone's farm and those cemeteries, of course, have had varying levels of care, vandalism, etc. Some are really kept up and others are not. Another tactic might be to call the Greenup library. I was just there a few weeks ago and they have put together a new updated reference area containing readings of the Greenup cemeteries that would likely be more complete than this book, both with names of people and directions to the cemeteries. You might be able to get more info from someone there (or stop in yourself before making the trek to find the cemetery.) In some cases, there are even pictures.

It should be located near Limeville. I read in the book An Imes/Iams Family History, by Thomas Imes, that my great great grandfather George Imes is buried there. George Imes lived near Schultz Creek in the early 1900's. He died 1912. I have tried several searches of various map sites on the internet. The closest I came was a Fairview Church outside of Maloneton. Maloneton doesn't appear to be too far from Limeville. I think I am on the right path, but I am still not certain. I was wondering if anyone knew if Fairview Church has a cemetery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to visit his grave as I am travelling to Portsmouth (Ohio) soon. Thanks!
