Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, On Smith Branch in 1850 lived four families who originated in Ireland. These settlers can be found on page 226 of the 1850 Census of Greenup County. They were: 1. Pagneman/Pegnon Kelley, 46, born in Ireland [rest of his family born in Pennsylvania] 2. John McKee, Senior, 65, born in Ireland. Wife: Elizabeth Reed, born in Iraland. Five children in their home, all natives of Ireland. Note: I have Biggs's book, so I have the McKee passage in "History of Greenup County, Kentucky". 3. John McKee, Junior, 27, born in Ireland. Wife: Nancy, 26, born in Pennsylvania. Five children, three born in Virginia [where in Virginia?], two born in Kentucky. 4. John L. Crossett, 25, born in Ireland. Wife: Mary McKee, 26, born in Ireland, daughter of John McKee. Daughter of John and Mary Crossett: Sarah J. Crossett, age three, who was listed as born in "MASSACHUSETTS", but later documents gave "Pennsylvania" as her native state. How and when did these four Irish men who lived for a time in Pennsylvania come to live close together on Smith Branch, Greenup County, Kentucky? Pegnon Kelley lived for a while near Pittsburgh. The McKees lived in Pittsburgh from 1840 to _____? Thank you for your help! The Irish tended to be "clannish", but how did they come to exercise their clannishness on Smith Branch? Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Denise, there should be a hundred people around Greenup County, KY that can give you the Smith Branch hollow info you are looking for. My wife's sister lived at the mouth of smith Branch for 25 years or so. I live in Frederick, MD. But I have lived in the area. Smith branch is about six miles west of Greenup on US 23. You would turn left off US 23 and you would see only one road, used to be dirt and gravel, but maybe Greenup CO., has blacktoped it my now. Paul Leadingham.

I'm looking for a Coal Branch Hollow....in Greenup Co,Ky....would anyone have any idea where it is....Looking for Valentine's that once lived there..

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, John James Cooper and his wife Ada sold a certain tract or parcel of land to John T. Stewart. The deed identified the land as having belonged to Robert Cooper, Deceased. John James Cooper was one of the heirs. The sale of the land occurred after 11 Sep 1858. What relationship was Robert Cooper to John James Cooper? Was this Robert Cooper the same Robert Cooper who married Elizabeth Patton, 21 Apr 1829, Greenup County, Kentucky? Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Dear Researchers who are Studying Greenup County, Kentucky, John COOPER was enumerated in the 1860 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, Page 703, Dwellinghouse 57. John COOPER was said to be a twenty-five-year-old farm laborer, born in Kentucky. His wife Ada was a mere eighteen, and the young couple had a daughter, Mary F., one year old. As part of my continuing goal to clearly identify all of the COOPERs who lived in Greenup County, I have attempted to trace this John COOPER, but have not yet placed his parents. Do you have the marriage date of John COOPER and Ada _____? They were probably married in 1858 or 1859. Thank you for your help. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio SEARCHING FOR the parents of William COOPER [circa 1822-1903]

Dear Researchers, The National Military Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Central Branch, located near Dayton, Ohio, received William Cooper as a resident, in May of 1884. William Cooper had given a Post Office Address of Haverhill, Scioto County, Ohio, in his Original Application for Pension, March, 1880. He was previously from Greenup County, Kentucky. The text of the notice to the Commissioner of Pensions is as follows: "The National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Central Branch, Near Dayton, Ohio, Nov 29, 1884. To Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C., Sir: I have the honor to advise you of the admission to this Home of Wm. Cooper, E Company, 22nd Reg't, Ky., Pension Certificate No. 250,624, last paid at Columbus Agency, up to Sept. 4, 1884 and request transfer of payment to the Washington Agency." The form was stamped with the signature stamp of a Mr. Thomas, whose given name did not stamp well onto the page. Under his name was the title "Governor", with the word "acty" or "actg" before it ["Acting"?]. Where was William Cooper living in 1880? Was he a resident of the Scioto County Home in that year? Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Ohio, Willis Cooper was enumerated in the 1840 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, page 241. The nine individuals listed in his household consisted of eight males and one female. The male members of the Willis Cooper household were: two under five years old, two five to ten years of age, one ten to fifteen, two who were fifteen to twenty, and one twenty to thirty. The sole female was thirty to forty. Also on page 241 of this census was a Charles Cooper, twenty to thirty years old, and a female, fifteen to twenty [no children]. Five entries separate Willis and Charles Cooper on page 241. From previous research, I happen to know that this Charles Cooper was Charles, Junior. Two years earlier, in May of 1838, Willis Cooper had taken two Cooper youths into his home as apprentices. They were Hugh and Granville/Greenville Cooper, who had lost their father Charles Cooper. Willis Cooper legally took them under his wing to raise them and teach them the arts and mysteries of agriculture, as well as the "three r's". Willis Cooper had removed to Missouri by 1850. Before 1838, Willis Cooper was a resident of Lawrence County, Ohio. Can you help me discover the relationships between these five Coopers: Willis, Hugh, Granville, Charles and Charles, Junior? For five years I have attempted to decipher the [how many?] Cooper families who lived in Greenup County, Kentucky between 1822 and 1880. And I haven't even mentioned Eli Cooper in this message!

My father died when I was three, so I had no idea of his ancestors. However he was buried in the Ashland, Ky cemetery alongside my grandparents. Just across the road several other Urbans are buried. Through census records, death certificates, and contact through the internet I have learned that my greaat grandfather Karl Ludwig Urban migrated from Nassau (now a part of Germany) in 1852 at the age of sixteen along with Maria Urban, who I assume was his mother. I have obtained his death certificate, but the informant did not know the name of his parents. I do know tht his brother John Jacob Urban also migrated to Kentucky some time prior to 1850 presumably along with his father (name unknown) Jacob died in 1906 before KY had death certificates so that is a dead end. However, he did run a bar in East Greenup KY and was a fairly prominent citizen. Supposedly he owned one of the first automobiles in town. If I could find his obituary, I could learn his parents names and have my ancestry complete back to the original immigrants. I would greatly appreciate any information or advice any Greenup Countian could give me Charles L. Urban P. O, BOX 5182 Sun City Center, FL 33571

Do you have a list of genealogists in Lewis Co. I need to find some one to do some lookups for me. The names I am researching are HASSON and KIRKPATRICK. I have tax, census and land records, but need some vital statistic records searched. Thanks, Wendy

HI My great grandfather James Wallace is listed on the 1870 Greenup County KY census along with his wife Mary Davisson and four children, Helen, Thomas, Martha, and my grandmother, Melissa. At the time,he was 36 years old, a miner, and his birthplace was Pennsylvania. When I was a small child, my grandmother would spend her winters with my mother and me in Ashland, KY, but she never mentioned any of her family. Are there any Wallaces in Greenup County, KY who could give me some help or advice in tracing my ancestry back further? Charles L. Urban P.O. BOX 5182 Sun City Center, FL 33571

Mary, Thanks for sending me the info on 1870 census. I really appreciate it. As far as me and Randall being "related," I don't think so. All the names are there, states and counties, we just don't make a connection with any of them. It's to bad because when I first found out about him I was excited. He was very helpful and pointed me to a few leads, Thanks again, Ed Cooper

Dear Researchers who are Studying Greenup County, Kentucky, For purposes of taking the 1850 U.S. Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, the county was divided into two Districts: First District and Second District. Which part of Greenup County was the First District, and which part was the Second District? Where was the dividing line? Knowing the boundaries of the two Districts would help in locating people in 1850, since one could narrow the search to the area of the District, not the entire county. George W. Darlinton was the enumerator [census-taker] for the First District, in which my third-great grandfather William Cooper lived, in 1850. How long the enumerator had been a resident of the area he enumerated, what his nationality was, how much education he had, how careful a writer and how careful a THINKER he was, all these factors had a bearing on the final result of the census efforts. Oh, how much depended on the man who took down the information! My solution to my genealogical puzzle was, and now is, in the hands [and pen] of George W. Darlinton. To give an example, on page 226, Dwellinghouse 121, of the 1850 Census of Greenup County, my third-great grandfather William Cooper was enumerated directly underneath the name of a daughter of John Crossett, whose name was Sarah. George W. Darlinton, the Enumerator for the Census, wrote in full the state of "Massachusetts" as the native state of Sarah Crossett, daughter of John Crossett. Darlinton then put a ditto mark ["] on the line underneath Sarah Crossett's "Massachusetts", signifying that the NEXT individual was ALSO born in Massachusetts. That next person was my ancestor William Cooper. So, taking this census page at face value, and without questioning it, both Sarah Crossett and William Cooper were born in Massachusetts. But when Sarah Crossett was enumerated in the 1870 Census of Greenup County, Kentucky, living in the home of her widowed mother Mary Crossett, Sarah Crossett was reported to have been born in Pennsylvania, not Massachusetts. Therefore, a researcher has a conflict. Where was Sarah Crossett born, Massachusetts or Pennsylvania? After more investigation on Sarah Crossett, I came to the tentative conclusion that Pennsylvania was her native state. So, what about George W. Darlinton's entry of "Massachusetts" in the 1850 Census? My opinion is that the word "Massachusetts" was put on the line above by mistake. Instead of writing "Massachusetts" on William Cooper's line, it was put on the line above, for Sarah Crossett. George W. Darlinton, it appears, was less than careful. But I might be wrong in this train of thought! If Sarah Crossett WERE born in Massachusetts, that fact would be an important lead for my research, because it would reveal that John Crossett was living in Massachusetts in 1847, when his daughter Sarah was born. Since William Cooper was supposedly born in Massachusetts, the Crossetts and Coopers might have known one another in the Bay State. After all, by 1850, they were next-door neighbors in Greenup County, Kentucky, and people often did resettle together. Please respond to one or more of the subjects included in this rather lengthy submission. Thank you for your interest! Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Hi Ed, I retreived my 1870 Greenup Co. Census from the Greenup Co. Database. You can get there from:http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygreenu/. Are you relation to Randy Cooper who is doing research on the Coopers? I have seen some of the same names as he has on your queries. Mary mbdiggin@aol.com
