This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: GlendaWillis51 Surnames: Slaughter, Cox, Bottom Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.henderson/4896/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Nancy Slaughter married William Cox on January 21, 1828 in Henderson Co., KY. She was born 1811 in Virginia, according to the 1850 Henderson Co. Census. William Cox was born January 4, 1796 in Grayson Co., Virginia, son of Enoch and Sarah Cox. Both Nancy and William were dead by the 1860 Census. With them on the 1850 Census, along with their 6 children, were Anderson Bottom, age 80, and Sarah Bottom, age 80, both born Virginia. Anderson was on the 1820 Henderson Co. Census, but William is not. Could Anderson and Sarah Bottom be Nancy's grandparents, or aunt and uncle, or no relation? Nancy was 17 when she married William, so she was kinda young to have been married before. I don't think they are her parents. Doe anyone have any information on Nancy's parents or who Anderson and Sarah were? Any help would be appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

As a genealogist determines a few facts about his/her more recent ancestors, then it is usual one wants to get back to the earliest known ancestor. As a resercher (when I have time) of colonial Granville Co., NC, I have discovered that a good many families of early Henderson Co., KY had roots in North Carolina, especially Granville Co., NC. The Denton family is one of those families. Fortunately, a good many abstracts have been made of Granville Co. records, and because publications generally have indexes, most of us start with publications rather than films. Helen Leary, noted genealogist of North Carolina, reminds us that a good many North Carolinians had Virginia roots. Here are some of the abstractors of some records of early Granville Co., NC Brent H. Holcomb - Marriages [with a few errors, especially about an Elizabeth Henderson--one was a mother-in-law of another younger Elizabeth Henderson, the latter the widow of Col. Richard Henderson] Zae Hargett Gwynn - one of her books has been microfiched by the Family History Library Thomas McAdory Owen Timothy W. Rackley - he has a website members.tripod.com/rackley_publishing/ Check the Family History Library Catalog, and, if you live in North Carolina, check with your local libraries.

I am not sure how the county officials of the period you speak of defined *pest house*. As late as the 1950s, however, persons with tuberculosis were confined in sanitoria [is that the plural of sanitorium?]. Also, feeble-minded [now called something like developmentally disabled] and also those were psychiatric problems were housed in different institutions. While looking for a probate record in another State, I first went to the courthouse and went through the index. Many persons who were institutionalized went through the probate court in that State--for alcoholism, for insanity, etc. Each State probably has different procedures as the laws change. Smallpox was still around when I was a kid over 70 years ago. My parents told me such patients were isolated, but they did not tell me where. Perhaps a pest house housed these patients. Other contagious diseases were probably treated the same way. It always helps to know what the laws were, but sometimes we genealogists don't have time--or the necessary references. Sometimes these persons are listed in censuses as inmates of these institutions. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

hi rebecca. i'm hoping you find the info you're looking for. but at the same time, i hope the woman you're looking for was NOT burned at the stake. the last witch trials in this country were in salem, massachusetts, in 1692. if the person you're speaking of was burned at the stake, then it occurred without a trial. and since kentucky did not become a state for nearly 100 years after 1692, the story is very unlikely. scot ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
