Dear List, 1860 Cen Hardin Co, Ky; pg 52, Jul 6, 1860, Nolynn; p 136 of 1860 Cen Hardin Co, Ky; Carolyn Wimp, ATHS: # 372 HH 363 Peter Stuart 63 m farmer 5000 4040 Ky Virgil 3 m Ky Martha Johnson 14 f Ky C.M. Stuart 35 m farmer 2240 Ky Nancy 32 f Ky Eliza 6 f Ky Kate 4 Bettie 2 f Ky Mary B. 5/12 f Ky I'm looking for some birth record that would list parents of this Martha Johnson age 14 living in home of Peter Stuart. She is not a sister of Nancy Johnson who married Charles Stuart. So I'm thinking she is a daughter of a brother of Nancy M. Stuart, but I know of no brother that would qualify as the father. Are there birth records in Hardin County, Ky that might identify her parents?
