The County Seat of Greenup is Greenup. There is no Genalogical Soc. The Eastern Kentucky Society covers this area.

Greenup also has a LDS Family History Center church now. As well as a nice Library. PS The Greenup Librarian called and asked me to help select the computers and software for the new computers they are getting along with Internet access to patrons. I will also help train the staff and patrons in Genealogy research on the net. Just wanted people we are coming into the 20th century.

My Grandmother worked in the Williams Shoe factory in Portsmouth until it closed down. I don't remember when it closed but I believe I was still in grade school so that would have been in the 50's. It was a very large employer in Portsmouth along with Detroit Steel and the railroad and I think they are all shut down now. Larry Jones

Dear Members of the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, A shoemaking "factory" operated for several years in Liberty, Greenup County, Kentucky. John PRATT, who was born in Vermont but came to Greenup County from Massachusetts, was the manager of the shoemaking enterprise, which was launched about 1845 and ended abruptly in 1849. The community of Liberty quickly became a bustling manufacturing village and had its name changed to "Lynn" after the foremost shoemaking city in the United States, namely, Lynn, Massachusetts. My research has led me to surmise that a number of New Englanders who were shoemakers migrated to the Liberty operation to follow their craft to a new location. It appears that one such shoemaker was William DAVIS, a native of Vermont, who came to Greenup County and married Sarah Ann BARNEY [sister of Martha Ann BARNEY, my third-great grandmother] in October 1845. Yet by 1850, William DAVIS had taken his family to New England, to Grafton, Massachusetts, where he was enumerated as a shoemaker. John PRATT [1800-1849] met an untimely death when a disgruntled tanyard worker threw a chunk of pig iron at him, mortally wounding him in the head. After the death of John PRATT, the shoemaking business folded, and the factory workers either moved away or settled in as farmers. The renowned author Jesse Stuart was quoted in Biggs's book as saying that he had not run across any evidence that the shoemaking business at Liberty [Lynn] had been founded by New Englanders. I agree with him in the sense that no document has been found that states exactly who the founders of the business were, or whether it was New Englanders who renamed Liberty to "Lynn". But there were certainly New Englanders involved with the enterprise, both as workers and in management. Researcher Mary Busby, a member of this Mailing List, is tracing the movements of a shoemaker of Greenup County, John BOYLE, who hailed from Pennsylvania. She hopes to track John BOYLE [not to be confused with Captain John BOYLE of Lewis County, Kentucky and Ironton, Ohio] to his origins in Pennsylvania, by means of his occupation. Please note that the shoemaking factory at Liberty did not begin operations until about 1845, whereas the shoemaker John BOYLE was already in Greenup County by 1835, the year he married Sitha/Cynthia CAIN. Therefore, it does not seem likely that John BOYLE's arrival in Greenup County bore any relationship to the Liberty Shoe Works. BUT...one never knows. The above information on Liberty and its shoemaking came from three sources: Biggs's History of Greenup County, a visit with Richard Dupuy of Lynn and from my own research of census records.

The city of Greenup, KY is the County Seat of Greenup County. I do not know if there is a Genealogy Society there but researchers say the Family History Section of the library is helpful. I am a devoted researcher but I have not lived near there in over 50 years: Carl

For some reason, I am unable to get a message through to the list; mail is returned. I am trying to find out what city is the County seat of Greenup Co? Also, is there a Genalogical Society there? Thanks, Wendy

There were shoe factories in Vanceburg, Ky. in Lewis County, County, Ky. Also many people in Greenup and Lewis Counties in Ky worked across the bridge in Portsmouth, Ohio. The bridge spans the Ohio River separating the two states. The Selby Shoe Co. and Williams Shoe Co. were in Portsmouth, Ohio. I do remember the name of the one in Vanceburg but I can get it if you want me to. I was born and raised there in Greenup Co. I live in Ft Myers,Fl now. Many of my family worked in the Portsmouth ones. Hope I can help you. ----Frances

I know my grandmother worked in a shoe factory either in Greenup or Portsmouth OH. It would have been somewhere around 1910. I'll ask the family and see if I can get more info. My grandmother was Edith (Montgomery) Sizemore. Sherry Campbell

Does anyone have any information on Shoe Factories and the occupation of shoemaking in KY, especially Greenup Co. My gggrandfather John Boyle b. abt 1794 and was either born in PA or moved from there was a shoemaker. I have hit a deadend with finding his parents or where he lived in PA. If I could find more info on shoefactories I might find other counties where he lived before moving to Greenup. Thanks for your help. Mary

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, Recently, William Turner posted the name of an ancestor, "Scicha CAIN", who married John BOYLE. Her given name has been found with various spellings, such as "Scitha" and "Sitha". Whatever the name was actually intended to be, it apparently was troublesome to the unlettered residents of Eastern Kentucky, who tackled it the best they could. May I submit that Miss CAIN's given name may have been "Scythia" [pronounced "SITH-ee-uh"]? Scythia was a land mentioned in the Bible, which was located, in its origins, above the Black Sea, the area now known as the Ukraine. A side note: this area is also referred to as "Magog" in the Bible. The fact that Scythia was a word known to students of the Bible may have resulted in its use as a given name, since names of Biblical origin were sought in the early years of our country, more so than today. Granted, there could be other possibilities for Sitha CAIN, but I humbly submit "Scythia" as one candidate. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Just thought I'd post these again to see if anyone new might recognize these: Hogston/Hogsten, Holmes, Dillon, Deaver/Deever/Dever, Ethington, Rowley. The Hogston's didn't come to Greenup Co. until the 1870's. Has anyone ever seen a Hogston grave? All I've heard about are unmarked graves the family visited years back. DZoes anyone know where I can get a copy of obits from Old Town? My gr grandfather died when he fell off his barn roof in the early 1900's. Thanks, Cyndy Dr. Cynthia M. Galloway Assoc. Professor of Biology Dept. of Biology Campus Box 158 Texas A&M University Kingsville, TX 78363 (512)593-3790

Just a couple of things that I'd like to point out. "Polly" was commonly a nickname. I've run into more than one Sarah who was also referred to as "Polly". and I've also seen a number of Sarah E.'s who were Sara Elizabeth aka. Elizabeth. Likewise, I have a grandmother who everyone referred to as "Sally" - no middle name - but on the 1910 Census, she was "Sarah". She had a daughter named Sara Jane, who my father referred to as Sara, while she and the rest of the family used "Jane". I think you're very close to unraveling a complex relationship. The important thing is to avoid jumping to conclusions before all the evidence is in. Also, note that the Civil War occurred in the 1863-1865 time frame. That could easily account for an untimely death or family separation.
