Brenda, Do you show any STONE married to a TUCKER? KY & TN., c 1860-1900 Mary in AZ

Barney and Murphy Two Aged Sisters Are Called To Rest Two aged sisters, saintly women, whose lives of Christian service, unselfishness and loyalty to duty, have endeared them to friends wherever they have known, have laid down life's burden and are at rest under the shade tree in the heavenly abode. "Aunt Sis" Fuller, the elder, age 84, died on Tuesday, May 10th, at 12:30 o'clock at the home her sister, Mrs. Barney Murphey, on Fall Creek near Mona. On Saturday May 12th, identically the same hour, 12:30, just 24 hours later, Mrs. Murphy answered the call to the celestial home. Mrs. Fuller was a widow and had been an invalid and bedfast for sometime, her infirmities being due to her old age. Mrs. Murphy, beloved wife of Eld. Barney Murphey, a pioneer Christian preacher, was about 78. Her death was due to pneumonia. Besides her bereft husband she also leaves three sons. It seems almost a kind fatality that these aged and saintly sisters, whose years of intimate association and deep attachment, the one for the other, were so tenderly pathetic, should have fallen asleep to awake on the starry chambers of heaven at about the same time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

If any one is actively researching or interested in, Tilley families, I would like to correspond with them. There were two families of Tilleys originally in Union County, both from Orange County NC. I am trying to determine if they were related, and what the relationship was, I feel they were related! My branch was John Washington Tilley, married Annis Veatch, daughter of Benjamin Veatch. John and Annis had four children, none of who stayed in Union County. Annis died young, and John not much later. At one time John had a brother in Union County, Eddie F, who also married while there, but, I don't know what happened to him. The other Tilley family was also a John Tilley, wife was Mary Jane Dunnegan, both from Orange County NC. They had several children, I think many of them remained in Union County, and perhaps some ancestors are still there. Can anyone do any look ups in cemeteries in Union County? I'd appreciate any feedback and comments. Thanks, Al Lee Researching TILLEY and VEATCH in Union County Ky

This message is for Ann Lee Willson. Ann, I tried to e-mail you about the Kirtleys but my message was returned. Please e-mail me back at Nbjere@aol.com.

Hi, Pam. Would you mind looking up in your marriages book the following two women? Susan or Susanna Williams married ?Turner Mildred (Minnie) Williams married? Both were married sometime between 1870 and 1880, I believe in Henderson county. Thanks! By the way I have seen your exchange with Jim about Eades. I have a Mary H. Eades married Nathaniel R. Sandefur 3 Apr 1843. Any idea where she fits in with your Eades? Nina Scholtz

I think E.P.'s name was Epprenoditus Stone born about 1852 in KY. There is a marriage for Epprenoditus Stone and Nancy E. Tavender married 7 Feb 1871 in Webster Co. KY. He then married my 2nd great grandmother Nancy Ann Turner in 1888 in Webster Co. He is on the 1870 Webster Co. KY census with whom I assume is his parents William and Aimly Stone. Other listed are Fannie age 21, Ep P. age 18 (Epprenoditus), Nancy age 16, Darcus age 14, and Benjamin age 10. Will any descendants of any of these people please contact me.

Hi Betty. Greetings from snowny Dubois Co. I know you live in Mt. Vernon so you have snow also. I subscribed to the KYCHRIST mailing list, sent a query to it, and lo and behold, it came back. Did I do something wrong? Another gentleman, Al Gibbs--also of Mt Vernon has subscribed--we are working on the Crabtree family that did live in Christian Co., KY, before coming to Posey Co., IN prior to 1820.

Betty, I have enjoyed all the historical vignettes that you have been sending. But, this last one was the best!! Where do you find all the information? Pam Groover

Jim, thanks for the address of the EADES Family Association. I will get in touch with them. Ichecked some of my henderson Co., KY books and found a little bit of information. From "Gone But Not Forgotten" - Cemeteries of Henderson Co., KY: Sallie LIVERS, wife of J.B. July 26 1839 - Dec 6 1864 Willie Lee LIVERS, son of J.B. & S. July 18 1864 - Dec 27 1864 Cemetery on 1078, Alves Ferry Rd - Old Sterling Place (This would be James B.'s first wife, Sarah JOHNSON. ) In the 1860 Henderson Co. Census, Ignatious (listed as J.G.) has a wife (probably), Ann, age 47, b. KY Also, James B. LIVERS is living with E.T. HAZELWOOD In the 1880 Census, Adelle LIVERS is listed as a school teacher, no husband, and with son Ben W., age 12. Adelle is born in KY, as were her parents. In case you don't have the marriage info on James: James B. LIVERS and Sarah JOHNSON, m. 18 Jun 1863 - Book 6, page 17. James B. LIVERS and Adelle T. SMITH, m. 25 Oct 1866 - Book 7, page 255. In Henderson Co., KY According to my Emily EADES' death certificate, she was born in Daviess Co., that is where Owensboro is located. So, we must have a connection! Now, if we can just determine what it is. TTYL, Pam

Glad that I could help, Pam
