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.
