    1. [KYHARRIS-L] Hello, Harrison Co.!!!!
    2. Br. Bill
    3. 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
