Hi, I have a Stewart who married a Robards, but not yours. However, I would advise you to check HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY - 1888-1978 (Dannkeiser Hazelwood) and HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY (E. L. Starling). I think you might find some information there. Good luck, S.Jobert

Hi List, I am looking for information about my ancestors of Henderson County, Kentucky. I trace my ancestry back to Virginia McMullin and her parents Robert Wayne McMullin (b. 1842 Henderson m. 21 Dec 1865) and Mary E. Robards (b. 1848 Henderson). Robert Wayne McMullin's parents were James McMullin and Elizabeth Murray. I have traced James' line back through John McMullin and his father Samuel McMullin. Mary E. Robards' parents were Marshall Robards and Emily Eades. I have traced Marshall's line back through George Robards and his father John Robards. So I have a fair amount of info on the men of the family, but I am having trouble finding more about the females (Elizabeth Murray and Emily Eades). If anyone has any information about anyone I have listed, especially the females, please email me at mjsevers@colby.edu Thanks

I am a descendent of Thomas Henry who married Susan Dudley 14 July 1819 in KY and their son Thomas Henry who married Melissa Hunt. Thomas Henry Jr. was born Jan 1840 in KY and Died 12 Jan 1839 in Mt.

I bet that your hunch is right. Before I forget, I have a copy of the P. RICHARDS will. Its a zerox from a research page in the library. Only RICHARDS I could find so far in VA. Do you need this? Will gladly share what I have on the MCCUNES although its precious little. I have alot about the family after they moved to Sangamon Co. IL but that wouldn't help you. Just so you know where I'm at: Andrew Richards b. TN C1780-1795 Married a Rosannah MCCUNE b. 1796 in Nicholas Co. KY. My maiden name is RICHARDS and I am their direct decendent. the following is about her {Rosie MCCUNE} older brother, from Early Settlers of Sangamon Co IL 1876, Powers.: MCCUNE Gavin, was born July 7, 1788, in Pennsylvannia, and was taken by his parents in 1796 to Nicholas Co. Ky. He was there married to Hannah ARDRY, a native of that county. They had six children in KY, and moved to Sangamon Co., ILL, arriving in the fall of 1832 in what is now Cooper Township. Of their six children-......" See not much until Gavin and his wife and A. Richards and his wife (Rosie MCCUNE) arrived in IL. In the census for 1810 and 1820 there are 5 MCCUNES listed in Nicholas Co. KY. I suspect that Basil might be Gavin and Rosie's father. Not sure. If he is, he may have immigrated to US. The census states that someone in the household is a foreigner. However, please contact the following person. I meet Linda through RootWeb, she is a MCCUNE decendent and has alot more info than I do. Probably the three of us are all related somehow. There is also a group of 8 brothers(living) who are putting all MCCUNE data together. Ask Linda about that too. Reach Linda at-- Ldkp@gdi.net Hope she can help you and please write back if we ever connect our lines. Meanwhile, would you keep a lookout for the name Andrew Richards in your research? Best possible choose for his father is Williams Richards. He's the only Richards left in Nich. Co. KY after my ancestors left. Good luck, Sue RICHARDS Williams

He utilized agents behind enemy lines, recruited both Tory and Patriot sources, interrogated travelers for intelligence information, and launched scores of agents on both intelligence and counterintelligence missions. He was adept at deception operations and tradecraft and was a skilled propagandist. He also practiced sound operational security. As an intelligence manager, Washington insisted that the terms of an agent's employment and his instructions be precise and in writing, composing many letters of instruction himself. He emphasized his desire for receiving written, rather than verbal, reports. He demanded repeatedly that intelligence reports be expedited, reminding his officers of those bits of intelligence he had received which had become valueless because of delay in getting them to him. He also recognized the need for developing many different sources so that their reports could be cross-checked, and so that the compromise of one source would not cut off the flow of intelligence from an important area. Washington sought and obtained a "secret service fund" from the Continental Congress, and expressed preference for specie, preferably gold: "I have always found a difficulty in procuring intelligence by means of paper money, and I perceive it increases." In accounting for the sums in his journals, he did not identify the recipients: "The names of persons who are employed within the Enemy's lines or who may fall within their power cannot be inserted." He instructed his generals to "leave no stone unturned, nor do not stick to expense" in gathering intelligence, and urged that those employed for intelligence purposes be those "upon whose firmness and fidelity we may safely rely." Drawing: Washington conferring with one of his agents Washington's Intelligence Officers Washington retained full and final authority over Continental Army intelligence activities, but he delegated significant field responsibility to trusted officers. Although he regularly urged all his officers to be more active in collecting intelligence, Washington relied chiefly on his aides and specially-designated officers to assist him in conducting intelligence operations. The first to assume this role appears to have been Joseph Reed, who fulfilled the duties of "Secretary, Adjutant General and Quarter Master, besides doing a thousand other little Things which fell incidentally." A later successor to Reed was Alexander Hamilton, who is known to have been deeply involved with the Commander-in-Chief's intelligence operations, including developing reports received in secret writing and investigating a suspected double agent. When Elias Boudinot was appointed Commissary General of Prisoners, responsible for screening captured soldiers and for dealing with the British concerning American patriots whom they held prisoner, Washington recognized that the post offered "better opportunities than most other officers in the army, to obtain knowledge of the Enemy's Situation, motions and... designs," and added to Boudinot's responsibilities "the procuring of intelligence." In 1778, Washington selected Brigadier General Charles Scott of Virginia as his "intelligence chief." When personal considerations made it necessary for Scott to step down, Washington appointed Colonel David Henley to the post temporarily, and then assigned it to Major Benjamin Tallmadge. Tallmadge combined reconnaissance with clandestine visits into British territory to recruit agents, and attained distinction for his conduct of the Culper Ring operating out of New York. In 1776 George Washington picked Thomas Knowlton to command the Continental Army's first intelligence unit, known as "Knowlton's Rangers." Intelligence failure during the battle of Long Island convinced Washington that he needed an elite detachment dedicated to reconnaissance that reported directly to him. Knowlton, who had served in a similar unit during the French and Indian War, led 130 men and 20 officers-all hand-picked volunteers-on a variety of secret missions that were too dangerous for regular troops to conduct. The date 1776 on the seal of the Army's intelligence service today refers to the formation of Knowlton's Rangers. Other intelligence officers who served with distinction during the War of Independence included Captain Eli Leavenworth, Major Alexander Clough, Colonel Elias Dayton, Major John Clark, Major Allan McLane, Captain Charles Craig and General Thomas Mifflin. Graphic: United States Army Intelligence Seal Paul Revere and the Mechanics The first Patriot intelligence network on record was a secret group in Boston known as the "mechanics." The group apparently grew out of the old Sons of Liberty organization that had successfully opposed the hated Stamp Act. The "mechanics," (meaning skilled laborers and artisans) organized resistance to British authority and gathered intelligence. In the words of one of its members, Paul Revere, "in the Fall of 1774 and winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a Committee for the purpose of watching British soldiers and gaining every intelligence on the movements of the Tories." According to Revere, "We frequently took turns, two and two, to watch the (British) soldiers by patrolling the streets all night." In addition, the "mechanics," also known as the Liberty Boys, sabotaged and stole British military equipment in Boston. Their security practices, however, were amateurish. They met in the same place regularly (the Green Dragon Tavern), and one of their leaders (Dr. Benjamin Church) was a British agent. Through a number of their intelligence sources, the "mechanics" were able to see through the cover story the British had devised to mask their march on Lexington and Concord. Dr. Joseph Warren, chairman of the Committee of Safety, charged Revere with the task of warning John Adams and John Hancock at Lexington that they were the probable targets of the enemy operation. Revere arranged for the warning lanterns to be hung in Old North Church to alert patriot forces at Charleston, and then set off on his famous ride. He completed his primary mission of notifying Adams and Hancock. Then Revere, along with Dr. Samuel Prescott and William Dawes, rode on to alert Concord, only to be apprehended by the British en route. Dawes got away, and Dr. Prescott managed to escape soon afterward and to alert the Patriots at Concord. Revere was interrogated and subsequently released, after which he returned to Lexington to warn Hancock and Adams of the proximity of British forces. Revere then turned to still another mission, retrieving from the local tavern a trunk belonging to Hancock and filled with incriminating papers. With John Lowell, Revere went to the tavern and, as he put it, during "a continual roar of Musquetry... we made off with the Trunk." Paul Revere had served as a courier prior to his famous "midnight ride," and continued to do so during the early years of the war. One of his earlier missions was perhaps as important as the Lexington ride. In December 1774, Revere rode to the Oyster River in New Hampshire with a report that the British, under General Gage, intended to seize Fort William and Mary. Armed with this intelligence, Major John Sullivan of the colonial militia led a force of four hundred men in an attack on the fort. The one hundred barrels of gunpowder taken in the raid were ultimately used by the Patriots to cover their retreat from Bunker Hill. Martyrs and Heroes Nathan Hale is probably the best known but least successful American agent in the War of Independence. He embarked on his espionage mission into British-held New York as a volunteer, impelled by a strong sense of patriotism and duty. Before leaving on the mission he reportedly told a fellow officer: "I am not influenced by the expectation of promotion or pecuniary award; I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a peculiar service, its claims to perform that service are imperious." But dedication was not enough. Captain Hale had no training experience, no contacts in New York, no channels of communication, and no cover story to explain his absence from camp-only his Yale diploma supported his contention that he was a "Dutch schoolmaster." He was captured while trying to slip out of New York, was convicted as a spy and went to the gallows on September 22, 1776. Witnesses to the execution reported the dying words that gained him immortality (a paraphrase of a line from Joseph Addison's play Cato: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." The same day Nathan Hale was executed in New York, British authorities there arrested another Patriot and charged him with being a spy. Haym Salomon was a recent Jewish immigrant who worked as a stay-behind agent after Washington evacuated New York City in September 1776. Solomon was arrested in a round-up of suspected Patriot sympathizers and was confined to Sugar House Prison. He spoke several European languages and was soon released to the custody of General von Heister, commander of Hessian mercenaries, who needed someone who could serve as a German-language interpreter in the Hessian commissary department. While in German custody, Salomon induced a number of the German troops to resign or desert. ==== MAME Mailing List ==== Have you visited the Rootsweb Data Research Cooperation at; http://www.rootsweb.com/ FREE CENSUS LOOKUPS-Some States-Needs volunteers http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/census.html --part0_913248487_boundary--

Can't wait to tell her about Duncan Hines! She'll give me a good lecture on "cooking for the family" as she wouldn't use a box cake mix if........well insert anything you want. She still whips up cakes form scratch. Grandma lives in IL and still talkes about Ky' She's missed it since she moved here in the 1920's. See what happens when true love strikes? Thanks for your story. Sue in IL

Clif and any others interested in Hines, might want to be aware of the Hines family of Bowling Green. It's from these folks that we got Duncan Hines (as in cake mix) and the Hines Towing folks who still operate a number of towboats and barges on the Green River, Ohio River, and other parts of the Mississippi River system.

I am sorry if this query is old to you, but since I am new to the list, I am sending it again. I am looking for information on my family. Believed to have originally been Hind. Variations of the name include HINDS [My current} HIND / HINES / HYNES / HYND, etc. My direct ancestory was in Beaver County, PA after the Revolution, but may have been descendent from Chester, PA, -- Albemarle, Augusta Counties in VA. Family members migrated through VA, PA, KY, TN, AL, AR, IN. Early names were James, William, Thomas, John, Samuel. At Beaver County, PA (Sewickley and N. Sewickley) John Hind - Revolutionary War [fifer] John, jr., George, Peter, and Jacob. Also Sampson and others. Related families included PIERSOL and OLDHAM. I would like to know what happened to the family and where descendents now live. Also, where was Revolutionary War, John Hind burried. I am Clif Hinds. Respond to me at my email: hindsclif@mindspring.com
