Here is an update on my surname of BOOK as it has been awhile since I posted it. Hope there is someone familiar with the name. WILLIAM BOOK b: 1828@ Virginia was listed on various census as negro actor, dance master etc. d: ? can't find him after 1870 at one time believe he was listed as William RUARK on birth announcement/listing/record in Lewis Co.of his son Jacob. We believe may have been an error as all other factors point to it being William Book such as name of wife, date Jacob was born. (see below)William is on 1850 Greenup Co. census with wife and first son. Do not have 1860 census. 1870 Julia and son Jacob listed alone in Quincy, of Lewis Co.) m: Julia Scott b: 1830? in KY d: ? children: Mary C. Book b: May 6, 1852 Lewis Co. Ky. Jacob E. Book b: Sept. 10, 1854 Lewis Co. Ky (born though as Jacob E. Ruark) d: Nov. 15,1924 in Scioto Co. Ohio was burried Nov. 17 in Firebrick, Ky (Greenup) Thomas Book b:Feb 16, 1850 d: Sept. 12, 1866 Do not know what happened to Mary. Thomas died in teens. Jacob Book m: Cynthia A. CARVER daughter of George WAshington Carver and Cynthia JAMES. Living with wife on Lewis Co. Ky census 1880, 1900, 1910. He has been listed as clay teamster and retired minister. children of Jacob and Cynthia Thomas Hudson Book b: 1876 Lewis Co.

MULLINS Robert Book b: Oct. 1895 Albert Book b: Sept 1898 Silus Book b: 1903 Please let me know if you can help. This is my maiden name and we have been at a brick wall with the line for a long time now. Thanks Valerie ps If anyone has an 1860, 1870, 1880 census for Greenup or Lewis Co. and can see if they find William it sure would help. He may have even slipped to another neighboring county. He was a wanderer.

-As you are coming into Oldtown from Greenup on Rt. 1, there is an unnamed cem. on a hill on left side of road. A lady there also said there is a cem. that is all grown over & unkempt almost opposite the one on the hill. It is off the road somewhat, but, since I had no hip boots on last spring, I opted to stay out of that one. There is another one on Rt. 1 that I missed--heaven forbid! The directions were to go past Long Branch Rd. about 2 mi. There was a barn on the left & a sharp curve. (Can you imagine that area with a sharp curve?????) The North Fork goes to Load. The next one, Laurel Fork, turn right, & there is supposed to be a church on the left. After reading from my notes about 7 months after I was there, these may be somewhat sketchy. There were supposed to be NICHOLS in that cem. Was looking for Reuben & wife America (Barker), in particular. Carolyn Kemp

HI! new to the list! I am looking for any info on Lulu Pierce b. Aug. 15, 1882 in Greenup county. Her parents Wm. PIERCE and Mary A. PARTLOW. She married James Gallatin BASHAM in Scioto county and died in LA in 1954. Any info on the family members appreciated. Carol

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, Smith Branch was named after Revolutionary War veteran Godfrey Smith, who, arriving from Pennsylvania about 1810, was the first settler on its banks. Smith Branch, Greenup County, Kentucky, flows into the Ohio River about four miles downriver from the town of Greenup. Godfrey Smith died in 1847. In the 1850 Census of Greenup County, my third-great grandfather William Cooper was enumerated immediately after John Crossett and John McKee [both Senior and Junior]. All three of these Irish families [McKee, McKee and Crossett] lived in ONE house in 1850, on Smith Branch. Since William Cooper was listed next after the McKees and Crossetts, it is probable [though not certain] that William Cooper also dwelled on Smith Branch, especially since William Cooper was keeping one-year-old William Crossett, John Crossett's son, in his home. If you have studied the people of Smith Branch about 1850, including John Montgomery, Emanuel Patrick and Pegnon/Pageman Kelly, please contact me! I hope to gain knowledge that will exactly locate the home of William Cooper in 1850 [which, by the way, he did NOT own, having sold his land by 1848]. Thank you for your help in unlocking the secrets of Greenup County history. Note: Beyond 1850, I'm not sure it's going to do much good, because by about 1852, the year his three-year-old son Valentine died, William Cooper had relocated to Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky under some shameful circumstances, details of which will be given upon request. Please provide some feedback, as I am feeling a touch of discouragement in my search for the parents of William Cooper, who first appeared in the records of Greenup County in 1846. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Linda, reference your Evens ancestors of Oldtown, Greenup, Ky. There is no Greenup County Cemetery listing I know of, but maybe someone will come forth. I do know there is a Cemetery behind the old store building in Oldtown, Greenup Ky. Oldtown, Greenup, KY in on state route 1, about 7 or 8 miles south from Greenup, Ky. (Oldtown could be 12 miles from Greenup, as I did not record the mileage) You turn off US 23 at Greenup onto route 1 and go about 7 or so miles to two houses a country store. I live in Frederick, MD. But I was out that way on Oct 1, 1998, as I was born and raised in Carter and Greenup Counties of Kentucky, and was out searching for ancestors in Grayson, Carter Co., Ky.. Paul Leadingham.

The last census record I have on file for Phillip and Mary Jane EVANS is as follows: 1880 Census Greenup Co. KY Oldtown Precinct; #37/42 EVANS: Phillip H., 72 M Labourer KA VA VA Bronchitis Mary J., 74 F Wife, KY VA VA Disabled I believe that it is possible they are buried in Greenup Co. KY. Is there an index to burials or cemeteries that have been transcribed? Would sincerely appreciate a lookup on them.

My name is Jim Wiley. I am married to Sandy (Kilgore) Wiley, daughter of Roger and Mary Kilgore, and granddaughter of Roscoe Stephens (former Greenup Co. Schools Superintendent). Nellie Stephens, Roscoe's wife handed down a geneology of the family tracing back to William Floyd, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, the two of her children she gave it to cannot find it. The reason I need this information is that my daughter can get a scholarship of up to $2,000 simply for being a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Here is the information I have so far.... Roscoe's mother was Ottie May (Floyd) Stephens, married to Ed Stephens of Lost Creek. She died in about 1928, when Roscoe was 11 years old. Her father was William O. Floyd. William O. Floyd was the son of David Floyd, a slave owner, probably in Virginia. Then there is a gap in the lineage until we get to Nicoll Floyd II, only son of William Floyd. I guess at this point I need to verify that this information is first of all, correct, and then have some kind of proof (i.e. death records, marriage records, etc.) and have no clue where to go from here. Could you offer some help/advice? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Jim Wiley

Which listing are you referring too? I know my family is Book but one had used Ruark at one point. Is the liting you refer to, a Book or a Rook in actuality? Valerie osborn wrote: > > Rook and BooK, look at that listing again R's and B's Look alike when > written. >

which listing is being referred too? I am a descendant of a William Book and Jacob Book who moved around between Lewis, Greenup, Carter and Boyd Counties. My William was found at one point listed as William Ruark. I have noted how the R and B gets confused and think that is one reason I can't always find them. If anyone comes across these two people in anything at all, please let me know. This would be mid to late 1800's. I am at a dead end on William.
