For those subscribers who are dues paying members of the National Genealogical Society, Arlington, VA, this is to advise that there is a lending library of NGS. The books, however, are held at the St. Louis, Missouri COUNTY Library. Go to the _www.ngsgenealogy.org_ (http://www.ngsgenealogy.org) to get more information. At any rate, while checking on the date of the upcoming NGS Natonal conference to be held in Richmond, VA in May 2007, I found a link to the St. Louis Co. Library. I did an author search and learned that they have one copy of Starling's book as indicated in subject. It seems to have been reproduced/reprinted in 1993 by Higginson Publishers. Whether there are other copies available, I cannot say. Check as many online catalogs as you can. Sutro Library, a branch of the California State Library, has a link to a catalog of all genealogical libraries. I am doing a task and do not have time to search. That is for you to discover.

I don't know where the person lives who is interested in the Starling book, but if you live near Vanderburgh CO, contact Willard Library in Evansville. They might know where you can get it. Willard, I am sure, as a copy if not a few, but their genealogy books cannot be checked out. Other major libraries in large cities also might be able to help you. I certainly enjoy mine. As to the Williams family, I have a Williams who married into the Eakins line. I have a John Williams, b. 1868, married to Willie King Eakins-- d/o Joseph William Eakins and Sallie Powell.

I would like to comment on Starling's book. I happened to find this book on the shelves of a genealogical library in Los Angeles, and it fascinated me. I had already done some research on the Henderson family of colonial Granville Co., NC. Starling explains the connection of Henderson Co. with Col. Richard Henderson and Henderson County. Richard Henderson was a prominent figure in colonial North Carolina. He is said to have established Nashville, TN, originally called Nashborough. As I remember, and correct me where I have erred, Col. Henderson claimed great parts of both Kentucky [which was part of Virginia] and of Tennessee [which was part of North Carolina]. The American Revolution interrupted his plans to begin a 14th colony. He wanted a proprietorship, such as Lord Granville had in North Carolina and Lord Fairfax [and his heirs] had in Virginia. After the Revolution, Virginia and North Carolina both refused to grant him all the land which he claimed he had bought from the Indians. Henderson Co., which was a larger county in the beginning, was part which Virginia alloted to Henderson and Co. In fact, in the grantor and grantee indexes, one will see an occasional notation for a deed *Henderson & Co. grant*. I have an old map, which I photocopied from one of the books published by a genealogical society, showing the lot numbers in Henderson Co. My main interest lay in doing a title search [for myself only] of Lot 23 on or near Lick Creek. The history which Starling gives can be augmented by a book called Boones borough by George Washington Ranck and published at the time by what was called the Filson Club. Apparently the Filson Club has had to change its name and is now called Society, I believe. Boonesborough does not treat of Henderson Co. but of the plans of Henderson and Co. If you cannot arrange to interlibrary loan either of these books, perhaps through your State Library, check local libraries in your area to find which, if any, subscribe to the online genealogical database called HeritageQuest. Older books have been reproduced, and both these books about Kentucky places appear in HeritageQuest. Ranck's book has some wonderful appendices concerning Henderson and *his gang* of speculators. Some of Henderson's relatives, I believe, migrated to Henderson Co. Certainly people from Granville Co., NC migrated to Henderson Co. About Starling, one does have to take with a grain of salt some of the biographies. Much of the information is skewed. I was looking for Williams families. In the beginning there were two main Williams families. One was headed by one Samuel F. [Farrar] Williams, and the other by Burwell Williams. So I began diligently searching each of these families, mainly in tax and land records plus court order books. (Aside: Where are COBs A and B? County clerks do not seem to know. COB C has been filmed and is available through the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. CO Books A and B would shed so much light on the early settlers of Henderson Co.) Starling has a biography of one Jenks Watterman Williams. Jenks gives good information about himself and his parents [I believe]. He was the son of John Williams and his wife Susannah. But, after giving information about himself and his parents, his facts fall apart. Like many of us, he really did not clarify with his parents who were his grandparents and step-grandparents, etc. Should any subscriber be a descendant of Jenks Williams or of his siblings I have information to share with you. None of it is conclusive, as John Williams was not my ancestor but a sibling of my ancestor, circumstantial evidence in Henderson co. implies. The roots of both John Williams and his wife, who were married in Henderson Co., go back to Granville Co., NC. The Williams great-grandparents were of colonial Southside Virginia, as that is where many North Carolinians came from--Virginia. Have fun with this hobby. It certainly stretches your mind. A genealogist always wants to know the answer to the next question. E.W.Wallace

Thanks Helen for suggesting the Henderson Co. Historical & Genealogical Society but at the present we do not have any of Starling's History for sale. When we printed the 800+ page history the last time, we sold it as a pre-publication sale because it is so expensive to print. We sold out as quickly as we printed. We'd have to have quite a few interested in purchasing the book again before we could reconsider printing it again. Our version is better than the ones that are being sold through other printers because Lisa Pounders took the time to index the surnames. Which is a tremendous help to any researcher. It is a great source for the life back in the 1880s but as you stated not all of the history is correct. Yet it's a great place to start. Netta Mullin, President Henderson Co. Historical & Genealogical Society http://hendersonkyhistory.com/

The gen society of Henderson might have them for sale. I bought mine there about 2 yrs ago-- it is a very thick book. I love reading the bios in it-- seems everyone was moral and uprighteous and had wonderful loving children. But most things were written that way during that era. It is a great book, but does have a few erros in the bios. But the bio is only as correct as the person giving the information wanted it to be. Good luck.

I have just rejoined this list in my continuing search for John Cunningham who married Sally Hickman in Franklin County, KY in 1799. I would like to find John's ancestry. Here is what I know: Sally Hickman was a daughter of the famed Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church minister, William Hickman, and his wife, Eliza Shackelford. John and Sally had two sons that I know of, Fountain Cunningham and William H (probably Hickman) Cunningham. John died about 1823/24. B. Hickman was named guardian of William H Cunningham in 1824. This was probably Benjamin Hickman, son of William. Fountain married Sarah L Taylor, daughter of Brooking and Ann Taylor, in Franklin County in 1824. These two migrated to Henderson County, KY about this same time. Sarah died in 1833, probably in childbirth with her seventh child, Edward. Fountain remarried. His second wife was Sarah E Faulkner, daughter of Johnson and Mary Faulkner. William H Cunningham joined his brother, Fountain, in Henderson County where he married Mary Jane Moss in 1832. The following is an excerpt from Forks of Elkhorn Church, by Ermina Jett Darnell, published in 1946: Cunningham-Sally, to Frankfort 1816 John Cunningham m Sally Hickman, F 1799. In 1800 he bought from Elisha Lindsay the farm at Jett which until recently was owned by the Cromwells. He sold this land to Edmund Vaughan in 1802, and went to Frankfort, where in 1810 he had a family of five. James Cunningham m Jane Gibson, F 1799; John Cunningham m Elizabeth Gibson(1804); Betsy Cunningham m Peter Brown; Fountain Cunningham m Sally Taylor, F 1824. Rev. R. M. Cunningham, was the father of Arianna Hickman. The will of Hugh Cunningham, W 1820, mentions his wife Elizabeth, and sons James, Thomas, and John. Elizabeth Cunningham m Moses Boone. I am almost positive that the John Cunningham mentioned as son of Hugh, is NOT my John. I am not sure who the other Cunningham mentioned are. Again, I am seeking the ancestry of John Cunningham who married Sally Hickman in Franklin County, KY in 1799. I have lots of information on their sons, and on Sally's ancestry. Thanks for any information or suggestions anyone can offer.
