I have been collecting photographs from Harrison, Bracken, Mason, Nicholas and Bourbon counties. From 1860-1915. It would really help to date them if I knew when the Photographers were active. Such as Keethler or Berry in Cynthiana, Christman in Mt.Olivet, etc. Does anyone know if anyone is or has set up a dated list of photographers in the Robertson county area? Thanks. Jim Dempsey

Let's hear a round of applause for Philip Naff. Here is his latest contribution, and at the bottom of the page you'll find links for the communities in the county that he typed from Perrin's book. Now, whose game for typing Cynthiana info? http://rootsweb.com/~kyharris/collinshistory.htm Jo Thiessen

Dear Harrison Listers and Mr. Walker; I used to work with James Saunders Whaley at Whaley Funeral Home in Cynthiana. It doesn't surprise me that James S. Whaley would have possession of such a treat. He was VERY into history, and such an honorable and amiable chap. It's too bad he isn't around to tell us more about your gun. I would suggest that you contact Ed Whaley in Cynthiana. He was not only related to James, but knows quite a bit about history himself. I'm sure he's in the telephone book. If anyone would know about this, Ed would. Bill Webber Somerville, NJ

May I forward this message to the Harrison co. mail list? If I do that, or you post the questions on our query page, you might get an answer. But if you depend on me you'll be waiting forever, and still not get much of an answer. I would also include your e-mail address so anyone with a bit of knowledge could respond to you directly.

Jeannie <>< -----Original Message----- From: English [mailto:english@c-zone.net] Sent: Monday, August 30, 1999 5:16 PM To: MSSTONE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Slave Records found in Natchez The following article was posted on another list of which I am a member by Alice Dauro. If you know of anyone researching their Mississippi African American roots, this is a must see. Please forward. >From Sun-Herald New Paper, Biloxi, MS Genealogists praise crucial link to the past KERRY WHIPPLE THE NATCHEZ DEMOCRAT NATCHEZ - Stephen Bryan, of brown coller, age about 25 years, weighs 150 lbs. Lewis Figg, of black coller, age about 27 years, weighs 160 lbs. William Ball, of black coller, age about 11 years, weighs 90 lbs. July Buckner and 3 children, of brown coller, age about 27 years, weighs 160 lbs. The records are chilling. Written in precise script on yellowing pages, they document the vital statistics of slaves brought from Kentucky to Mississippi just before the Civil War. The simply named Record Book was found in the basement of the Adams County Courthouse by Mississippi Department of Archives and History researchers and Chancery Clerk Tommy O'Beirne. The book, which had been rebound sometime this century, is a rare discovery - and could help some people trace more of their ancestry. Many of the slaves are listed by first and last name, and the names of the Kentucky owners are included as well. The records cover the period 1858-1861. "Mississippi required them to have an affidavit that would be signed by owners that they had not committed a felony and that they were of good character," O'Beirne said. "There are no other records in the state of Mississippi like this." "The documents aren't the only slave records in Mississippi, but they are the most comprehensive group researchers have found. "If you went back into the deed records, you would see occasionally references to slaves," O'Beirne said. "The inclusion of the slaves' first and last names is very rare." Any slaves brought into the state had to be certified, and a person offering them for sale had to be the legal owner, said state archivist Jim Pitts. "The 1870 census was the first document that included blacks by name - in the 1850 census slaves were merely numbers. That's about as far as most blacks can take their genealogy," Pitts said. "Having a book like this gives another generation back. It's something that's priceless for blacks who are doing their genealogy." A microfilm of the records is now housed at the Department of Archives and History and at the Adams County Chancery Clerks office, so anyone can look up the information without handling the rare records themselves. "It is very rare to find documentation of this sort from such an early time period," said Anne Webster, head reference librarian at the Department of Archives and History. "These records indicate surnames, and in many cases the slaves are listed in family groups. Using this information, genealogists may be able to determine the slaves' previous owners, thus tracing their families back another generation." The records also may provide valuable information about the slave trade. The Forks of the Road in Natchez was one of the largest slave trading sites in the South. Historians may be able to draw some conclusions about trade routes between Kentucky - where most of these slaves were moved from - and Mississippi, Webster said. The record book also contains justice court records and minutes from the board of police, the precursor to the board of supervisors. ginny ==== MSSTONE Mailing List ==== Thank you to those submitters of cemetery information - if you find your ancestor, make sure and let them know their work is appreciated.

"Hello again Cousins!" Might any one of you happen to be able to identify the Mr. KING who had married Dora TOADVINE, prob. in Harrison Co., KY, sometime in the 1890's. They appear to have had the following three children: Esther, b May 1894; Carlus, b Apr 1895; and Joseph, b Feb 1897, all probably born in Harrison Co., KY. Mr. KING did not show up as being in the 1900 household, so he may have possibly died prior to the 1900 census. Thank you for any and all help and assistance in identifying this Mr. KING! Your effort will be most appreciated. TTYL Craig

Hi, In today's on-line issue of the Kentucky Post is an article by Jim Reis about two men who went west to seek their fame & fortune. One was a man from Harrison County, Kentucky, and his name was William Tell Coleman, son of Napoleon Coleman. Of course, some of you may know that one of the most famous Harrisonites to go west who got his fame and fortune was "Death Valley Scotty." The address of the site is: http://www.kypost.com/opinion/pieces083099.html Every Monday a new article by Jim Reis is published on-line (as well as in the hard copy), almost all having something to do with Northern Kentucky history or genealogy, much more with the former than the latter. I check it every week to see what I can find, and most are pretty interesting, more so if you are interested in the northernmost counties of Kentucky, viz: Boone, Kenton, & Campbell. You can obtain a list of past articles by Jim Reis using the Kenton County Newspaper Index which is online and has a telnet address (plch.lib.oh.us). Or if you want, just change the date which appears after "pieces" by a week to go back to previous articles. "083099" is for Aug. 30, 1999 (today), for the numerically-challenged. Last week's was 082399, and so on. The on-line issues go back a couple of years. Before that you have to go to the actual paper, "The Kentucky Post" which is available on microfilm at the Kenton County Public Library in Covington. The Kentucky Post has also published the articles in book form over the years, which are also available at the Kenton County Public Library, but that series of books doesn't include the photographs which accompanied the original articles in newsprint. I do not now if any of those books are still available for purchase. Hope this is of help to someone! Philip Naff.

Some of these names appear in Scott and Harrison Counties, so thought I'd pass along the information.

Hi, Here is one of those Berry articles I mentioned last weekend. It is about Berry in 1915. It doesn't go into the history of the town, but is more like a snapshot of what the town looked like and who was doing business there. My interest in Berry derives from the fact that my great-grandfather, James Gardiner ELMORE, wife (Sarah Margaret CUMMINS), and chidren moved to a farm halfway between Berry and Boyd in 1900 and lived there until 1918. James G. ELMORE's siblings also lived near him, his sister, Margaret ARNOLD lived near Boyd, then moved to Berry ca. 1918. Some of the other names that come to mind with a family connection are: KNOX, PUGUE, LANG, & GARDINER. I've always liked this article for the humorous opening line, plus for the fact that it mentions so many of the people I had heard about while the ELMOREs lived there. I always think of Berry as "one wild and crazy place" from all the stories I have heard told about the people there! The (Cynthiana, Ky.) Log Cabin, Friday, April 30, 1915 ---o0o--- BERRY --------------- It is said that John Throckmorton once asked a drunken man, where he wanted to get off his train and he mumbled "Hell." John put him off here, but for once we know John was wrong. A more picturesque spot could hardly have been selected by our forefathers for a home than the beautiful site occupied by "Berry." Its name was given in honor of one of the foremost families of our county, descendants of whom are still residents in number. Going back some thirty years ago, we find it a village containing about twenty-four houses, a blacksmith shop, a general store, a tin shop, a drug store, a one-room school house and about seventy inhabitants. Today it is a thriving town with about one hundred and twenty buildings and nearing the five-hundred inhabitants mark. The town council is composed of such representative men as Dr. B.G. Gillespie, Dr. Ross, W.H. Forsythe, John C. Brown and last but not least, G.C. Matthews, with J.E. Renaker as Police Judge; and woe to the offender who comes before him. Alvin Lail is our Marshall and a better one could not be found. The Author of "All Sorts and Conditions of Men" must have visited our town for they can be found here, but taken all in all we have an excellent citizenship. As to our business enterprises: There is Thompson & Billiter, the livery men, just at the foot of Main Street. Next, just across the street, a first class general store under the management of Mrs. Maggie Fisher, ably assisted by her two sons. Passing up Main Street we note the office of Dr. H.M. Earle and next door our Tonsorial artist friend, Sam'l Earle, regales his customer with fairy tales while he clips his whiskers, unless it happens to be an Everett True when Sam is meek as a mouse. David Dowd keeps open house just above, where "Square Meals" are served and then genial B.B. Whitaker, assisted by Miss Maud Bedford and G.C. Matthews, serves the public from his general supply store with that smile that won't wear off. On the corner of Main and 2nd we find the up-to-date Drug Store of A.H. Cochran with Mr. Berry as chief clerk. On 1st Street we have another store owned by Hardy Bros. and a Sewing Machine Agency handled by Mr. John M. Wilson. On the other side of Main Street we find the offices of Drs. Gillespie and Ross and one dentist, Dr. Weiler (?). J.W. Landrum handles first class harness etc., just a few doors above, and just below the "Kendall Hotel" which has been newly painted. Passing out 2nd Street we find one of the most complete blacksmith and general repair shops ever, controlled by Phillips & Son. Crossing we see and extensive Lumber Yard which we find is managed by a thorough business gentleman, Mr. Steve Tutt. Being hungry we drop into J.W. Marshall's restaurant and partake of one of his '"Home made Pure Food lunches" and then go into the "Ice Cream Parlor" of John C. Lyter to cool our innards. John also does a nice business in drugs. On the corner stands the Farmers Deposit Bank with Milt Caldwell in charge and after making your deposit you can pass out and into the Barber Shop conducted by Edward Mitts where you can get a first class shave, shine and shampoo. If you need any home-killed beef steak you will find it by going to the butcher shop of Joe L. Godman. Quite a number of people on the Rural Routes don't know what good steaks Joe handles. And then the Blue Grass Company with its corps of clerks and Veach Redd as manager. Here you can buy anything from a pin to a threshing machine. Andrew McNees can always be found at his post and Jim Lyter, stand pat republican [sic], is ever ready to serve his friends. The Misses Belle and Edith Stone come next with their lovely millinery establishment. Ah! it would make your mouth water to see it. Hats, black hats, white hats, green hats, yellow hats, hats plain and hats with feathers in them. No woman could resist. (Came very near buying one myself.) Then Uncle Sam, represented by Hubert Hutton with a well arranged P.O., from which three rural carriers go forth. Another bank, Alvah Stone Cashier, known as the Berry Deposit Bank will take good care of your funds. On 4th Street a four-room school house accommodates our school children. Prof. L.E. Sharon Principal, Chas. Howes, Miss Allie Talbott and Miss Iva K. Dowd assistants. J.W. Huffman handles a full line of groceries near the R.R. crossing and was one of the first to subscribe to the "Log cabin", and next to him Billeter & Boyers carry a full line of bugiges [sic] and farmer[']s supplies and operate a garage. The offices of Drs. McVey & Todd are on Main just below 3rd St., making five doctors in all. R.P. Blair is our Atty., and is ever ready to serve his clients faithfully. Three churches grace our town, Methodist, Baptist and Christian, the pastors of which are Rev. Williams, Rev. R.H. Tolle and Rev. Tinney. Truly Berry is a thing of beauty and should be a joy forever.

I was in the Lexington/Frankfort area this week for 1 1/2 days. The big, new, beautiful library at the University of Kentucky is the W.T. Young Library.

Hello All; I am new on this list-serv, so allow me to introduce myself. I am a native Harrison County person, born and raised. I now live in the New York City/New Jersey area due to career obligations, but visit Harrison Co. once or twice per year to see family and friends. My name is Bill Webber, but several of you probably remember me as "Bill Andy"....YUCH!! NOBODY calls me that anymore...it even hurts to type it now!!! If any of you DO remember me, drop me a line to say "hello." I was home just a few weeks ago to deliver some family research to my mother's family reunion....the Clough reunion held each August. It was good to see everyone, and see the town again. By the way, HELLO MARY MAC!! I have a very important question for you folks. My great-grandfather was Wm. A. Webber, who was a Kentucky State Legislator, serving in the Lower House, and lived in the house known as Belmont, for which the subdivision on the other side of the Licking River is named. He was quite a guy. He lived from 1817-1904. His wife was also special. She was Sallie Daum, daughter of Egenhardt Daum and Charlotte Hamilton of Bracken Co. Egenhardt was the Sherrif of Bracken Co. Sallie was an active member of the D.A.R., etc.,etc. But, here's the problem. With all of that wonderful historical stuff, we seem to have lost some history. Wm. A. Webber, 1817-1904,......who the heck were his parents?? I have some clues, but nothing solid yet. I have the Masonic Lodges, the D.A.R., the S.A.R., and others working on it. I have been doing research in Cynthiana with Charles Feix at his County office. Nothing solid yet. Anyone have any clues to this busy man's parents?? I know from Perrin's History that his mother's name was Annie W. His paternal grandmother was Sarah Anderson Webber. And that Wm. A. was born in Jessamine Co., after which his grandparents, aunts and uncle, and mother all moved to Harrison Co. around 1817, the year of his birth. Can any of you shed some light on this or make helpful (note I said helpful....I KNOW some of you, I'm sure) suggestions here?? MARY MAC, Sallie Daum Webber was a D.A.R. official. Could she have submitted paperwork on this?? Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I hope to renew many old aquaintances while on this list-serv. Fondly; Bill Webber Somerville, NJ

Hi, Just finished typing up an article published "The Cynthiana Democrat" on Thursday, May 27, 1920, Page 1, Col. 3. It details the upcoming Memorial Day (Then Decoration Day) ceremonies to be observed in Cynthiana the following week. It gives a list of the 22 WWI soldiers who died during "The Great War" who were from Harrison County, and it lists where they are buried, viz: Soldier Dead. Harrison county boys who died in service: J. Quincy Jewett, buried at Battle Grove. Cecil Cason, buried at Battle Grove. Jas. H. Sparks, buried at Jacksonville. Dawson Lemons, buried at Battle Grove. Howard Cooper, buried at Battle Grove. Edward Martin, buried at Battle grove. Wm. Vice, buried at Battle Grove. Steve Woodyard, buried at Mt. Pleasant. Emery Ferguson, buried at Berry. Dr. Wm. Booher, buried at Berry. Lonnie Mullen, buried at Curry. Walter Jennings, buried at Salem. John Goodnight, buried at Connersville. Orville Jones. Herbert Crawford Will D. Gardner, buried at Coblenz, Germany. Albert Lee Pulliam, buried in France. Stephen B. Whalen, killed in action. Claude Wilson, killed in action. John Parsons, killed in action. Colored. Orie Givens, buried in colored cemetery, Cynthiana. Frazier Smith, buried in colored cemetery. This list has four more than a list published the previous year, so there may be more to add to this list in the end. Do any of these soldiers fit into anyone's family tree? Philip Naff.
