I am not sure about the connection to the Brooks line, but it may come though my (John?) Phillip Albert family. Do you have any connection to the Albert family? Oddly, there was a Guy Brooks who lived in the Union/Henderson Co. area but I can make no connection to him. Maybe my Guy Brooks Chapman was simply named after him? Can't say. On the Casey family, much of what I know came from George M. Williams. Here is some of what he told me: _________________________________________________________________ "I have a Catherine Casey, b 1765 who married a John Wagoner; her parents were Peter Casey, Sr b. abt 1715, Ireland, d 1787 Hardy Co, VA , he married Mary Margaret Dupuy Williams Feb 15 1759; she was born abt 1722 and died bef 1787. Catherine has sisters and half-sisters and half- brothers that went to various places in KY. I haven't followed the Casey's very much but rather the Williams line since Mary Margaret Dupuy Williams was my gggggrandmother. If this makes any connection or clue for you please indicate. Thanks and Good Luck, George M. Williams" "I have a large amount of details of her children by her first husband Vincent Williams who died in 1756 - Indians. I have not been able to find anything yet about her ancestors but have several clues...." "The write up on the Casey family I found in the Hampshire Co. Library. The Strother name in your direct line, do you have any idea where it came from? Some of us think that it was a family name and the family name of the first wife of Daniel McNeill, Sr. , a neighbor of the Casey's in Hardy Co. Incidentally George Washington visited Old Fields, Hardy Co. twice during his career, while on a surveying trip he visited the Casey cabin, in 1748?. A house which incorporates the Casey log house is being lived in today at Old Fields, WVA." _________________________________________________________________ He can be reached at "George M. Williams" <gmwill@hereintown.net> My initial connection to the Casey family was made through Rick Waggoner's excellent web page on the Waggoner family, which is located at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/w/a/g/Rick--Waggener/index.html Here is some of what Rick Waggener shows on Peter Casey: ___________________________________________________________________________ 61. NANCY5 WAGGENER (ANDREW4, JOHN3, HERBERT2, JOHN1) was born October 08, 1763 in Spotslvania Co., Virginia, and died July 12, 1847 in Union Co., Kentucky. She married PETER CASEY in Kentucky. Children of NANCY WAGGENER and PETER CASEY are: i. SAMUEL6 CASEY, b. 1787, Mercer, Kentucky; d. December 22, 1859, Union Co., Kentucky; m. ELEANOR M. FINNIE, 1814. 116. ii. NICHOLAS CASEY, b.

ELIZABETH FINNIE. ___________________________________________________________________________ Let me stress that this is Rick's work, not mine. Information on Moorman and Venable can be found at this outstanding web page: http://home.earthlink.net/~qlstarr/ There are many people interested in these lines. Contact Linda Sparks Starr and she will put you on the mailing list for information which is periodically released about these lines. There is currently a real outpouring of information on the early Moorman lines in Virginia. Several branches of this family moved to Kentucky. You can find somewhat accurate information on my line at: http://www.my-ged.com/db/page/jcollins/11249 I don't know how this got on the web, but much of it appears to be my work.

I don't have a male Chapman who married a Richards, so far as I can tell. It is very interesting that this family moved to Union Co., however. Do you know approximately when they arrived in Union Co.? I assume since you did not state one that you do not have a home county in Virginia for this family. My Chapman line appears to come from Frederick/Orange Co., VA, if that helps. Unfortunately, there are many Chapman lines in Virginia, as I am sure you have found out! Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I'll let you know if I turn up something on a Richards connection.

My Chapman line connects to Casey through Mary ("Polly") Casey Waggener who married John Strother Chapman, one of the early settlers of that part of Henderson Co. that became Union Co. Polly Waggener was the daughter of John Andrew Waggener and Catherine Casey, the daughter of Peter Casey (1715-1787) and Mary Margaret DuPuy Williams (1722-1787). My Moorman and Venable connection is through Elizabeth D. Moorman, daughter of John Moorman (d. 1831), who was in turn the son of Charles Moorman and Mary Venable. Mary Venable was the daughter of Abraham Venable and Mildred Elizabeth Lewis. Elizabeth D. Moorman married Archibald Coleman. Their son was Thomas Jefferson Coleman (b. 1834); his daughter, Ina Jefferson Coleman, married my great grandfather, Guy Brooks Chapman. I have no certain link to the Strother and Pendleton names, although they appear repeatedly in my Chapman line. I assumed that these names came into the family through Sarah ("Sally") Bell (1754-1809) who married Thomas Chapman (1753-1795) of Frederick Co., VA. John Strother Chapman was one of their sons. This could be completely wrong, however. The Thornton name is connected through Jane M. Chapman, another daughter of Thomas Chapman and Sarah Bell. Jane M. Chapman married William Thornberry on 17 Oct. 1808 in Henderson Co., KY. William Thornberry was the son of Thornton Thornberry. I don't have a genealogy homepage. I'm happy to share with anyone. I was born and grew up in Paducah, but now I live in Atlanta -- right down the road from your home in Woodstock, Georgia. Mike Chapman At 11:11 AM 3/31/1999 EST, you wrote: >Good grief!

Hi, again..... This is getting so interesting I keep signing on in hopes there's something else......and there has been...... No Alberts in my lines that I know of.....do have Bruce and John/Johns surnames......as well as Lipscomb and Elam. I will check on all the contacts you've mentioned. Linda Starr and I have been talking for a couple of years now..... her connection to the Moormans and Venables being through her husband. She's doing an outstanding job with her page and correspondence. We (she and I) also may connect through our Canada/Cannaday lines. One major Henderson County line I've failed to mention is the Farley family of Zion. I'm sure anyone who's been around Henderson for any length of time knows of them......Lucille was County Treasurer for many years and Nellie taught 2nd grade at Seventh Street School for about 40 years or so. Do you have any Walker families associated with the Moorman line? And, a great big, hugh thanks to our ancestors for using the family names in the naming of their children. It's been a big help. Sally

Hi, Mike..... We must be related about 17 different ways! Just kidding....but, it looks like three or four ways at least.....noticed the Brooks name in your great grandfather's name....do you have that line as well? I also have Brooks in VA and KY..... Do you know anything about the Peter Casey line? His children? Was he a brother or son of Abner Casey, who landed in Baltimore with the two or three brothers in the 1720s? Interestingly enough, I also have the Deupree surname, originally DuPre'. All of these common names are amazing! Oh, yes, I also have Colemans.......did I say 17? Maybe more..... We definitely connect at Charles Moorman and Mary Venable......how about those families? I have some information on them, probably not as much as you....... Are you in the phone book? All of these, and more, questions are running through my mind...... Back to the Caseys......do you know of any Alexanders in the Peter Casey line? Sally

I have Casey, Moorman, Strother, Pendleton, Venable, and Thornton names in my Chapman line. Do you think we may have a connection? <g> I also have a number of "loose" Chapman women from Virginia that I am trying to hook up with husbands. I would be glad to share information.

The Chapman line in Union/Henderson Co. is my family. This family came to Kentucky from Frederick Co., VA after the Revolutionary War. A branch was in Adair Co., KY. The oldest Chapman that I have located is James Chapman. His son Thomas Chapman was the father of John Strother Chapman who settled in that part of Henderson Co. which later became Union Co. This is my direct line. Two of James Chapman's other sons were (1) James Washington Chapman, one of the earliest settlers of Sagamon Co., IL, who subsequently lived in Logan Co., IL; and (2) William Chapman whose children resided in and around Sagamon Co., IL. William Chapman served with Gen. George Rogers Clark in the battles for the Northwest Territories. After the Revolutionary War was over, his pension applications says that he moved from "New Virginia" to Lincoln County, Kentucky, then to Smiths County, Tennessee, then to Missouri, then to Sagamon County, Illinois. He is said to have died in Union Co., KY. This family has many connections to Southern Illinois. In the early days of settlement in this area, one of the "big cities" was Shawneetown, directly across the Ohio River from Union Co., KY in Gallatin Co., IL. I understand Shawneetown was important for flatboat traffic down the Ohio River due the location of the channel of the Ohio River which made landing a flatboat on that side of the River somewhat easier. A little further down the River was a tricky Ohio River passage; near this passage was the "Hole in Rock" area which was a notorious hideout for outlaws and Ohio River pirates. This family also commonly used their middle name as their given name -- in other word, Thomas Strother Chapman was known as "Strother" Chapman and John Pendleton Chapman was known as "Pendleton" Chapman. Consider whether your "Washington" Chapman may have a first name of James or John or Thomas. Most census and other records are kept by first name; this may explain why you can't find out any information about him. I published extensive information about this family in an article in a recent edition of the Chapman Family Association newsletter. I would be happy to share all the information I have on this family. Genealogy is a great hobby. You will love it.

Hi, This Chapman line has just got to tie into my Kasey-Moorman line of Breckinridge and Daviess counties.........some family names are Strother Kasey and Pendleton Chapman Moorman, all of Breck. Co. in the 1800s and early 1900s. I think, and this is just a guess, ???? Chapman m. William White......probably in Virginia.......their dau., Catherine White, m. James Venable Moorman.......their son was Pendleton Chapman Moorman (my line, anyway).......the Strother name shows up on down the line.......we also have Pendleton Alexander Thornton Kasey........P.C.Moorman's dau., Martha Venable Moorman, married Henry Singleton Kasey......... Would love to find out more about these families..........Mike, do you know of a connection with this line? Sally Kasey Emily (formerly of Henderson County)

Hi Corey, Do you have access to the KY death records on microfilm? The death certificates from 1911 forward are on microfilm up to 1948. If it is filled our completely there will be a cemetery listed on it. Virginia

Greetings List: I have a call into the Henderson Public Library at the reference desk for a 1912 obituary. (The librarian informed me that they have a local history department on the second floor, but no one works there! She said she'd try to go up there tomorrow morning. It seems to me that the Reference Desk should be unmanned and the local history room be staffed, but then I'm partial to genealogy.) My subject is Nora F. JONES (nee Truello) who died on 9 July 1912 in Henderson, KY. She was 28 years old at death (born 1884-ish), Vol. 12, Cert. 17176. (I've ordered this record as well, but have not yet received it.) She had a son, Roy Leigh JONES who was born in Evansville, IN in 1909. I'm trying to find out what happened to him, and if he had any issue. The obit I've requested probably won't be much help, because he was only 3 when she died, but I was hoping for a cemetery to follow-up with (maybe he wound up there, too). Roy's dad (Nora's husband) was Homer R. JONES born 1884-ish. I don't know what happened to him either. If anyone here knows of a particular local resource I should be aware of or could otherwise give some advice it would be most welcome. _________________________________________________ Corey A.

Hi everyone This really isn't a family question, but just a general knowledge question. I know most nicknames for the Sarahs (Sally), Marys/Mollys (Polly), Elizabeth (Eliza or Betsy), but how do they get Patsy as a nickname for Martha? I had always thought Patsy was for Patricia. But in all the first names I have typed, I have probably less that 10 Patricia and they are modern (this century) names. I'd be rich if I had a dollar for every Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth I have typed. Does anyone know? Thanks and have a great week.

I hope I'm not being too obvious by pointing out that the A.B. Chandler referred to is none other that Happy Chandler, twice governor of Kentucky, U.S. Senator and professional baseball commissioner. There is lots of information available about him from numerous sources. Frank Boyett Henderson, KY

Thanks Nancy for the Chandler info. any descendants of Dan is needed as I have very few.

This is the family! Betty West was the daughter of Amanda Brooks. There are lots of Brooks in Mt Zion. Amanda and Richard Sr. had 14 kids. I have the year of birth for all of the children, Jennie Brooks Winters was the eldest born a slave in 1862. Richard born in 1895 was my grandfather. Can I submit a list and obtain the obits for the children. I will cover postage and copy fees as per your previous message.
