I am seeking information on the Hill's of Kentucky. So far I have been able to trace both of the Hill Families to George Hill Henry County, Kentucky. Born 1810. I am sure some of George's family stayed in Henry County or went a different directions. Any help, additions or corrections would be highly appreciated. I want to thank everyone who has contacted me and helped in anyway putting these 2 Families together. Paul Hill pvkhill@aol.com

I have a Benjamin Whitson b. ca 1759 from Rowan County who married Ann (possibly Bell). Can anyone tell me how I can check deed and will records in Rowan County, long distance, from Philadelphia? Although the Whitson and Bell families appear to originate in Rowan County, Benjamin Whitson is closely associated with Jane Bell Luckey (Lucky, etc.) in Harford County, MD and after Jane is widowed they move to Kentucky where I find Benjamin in Green County on the 1813 tax list together with Robert Bell, Thomas Bell, Isaac Bell, and James Bell. He is named in the will of his son-in-law, Michael Humble in Henry County, KY in 1818. He migrates to Indiana where he is active in the anti-slavery movement. I would like to find any kind of legal documents naming Whitsons in Rowan County and any association with the Bell family. Can someone direct me in this research attempt? Heaven knows, I would be very grateful. Regards, Georgia Whitson

My husband Edmund Karr consulted with Mr. Bryant in the late 1990's while visiting the Kentucky Historical Society at their old location. No one was more knowledgeable, courteous, or helpful than Mr. Bryant. We think he would, indeed, make a perfect director. We will write letters to the selection committee.

If, you have not already heard the news, the Kentucky Historical Society is again looking for a new director. As a member of the historical society, and a patron who spends several hours at the facility each week, I'm concerned with the direction the society seems to be taking. A couple of years ago the historical society moved into a new facility which ranks at the top or very near the top of the finest research facilities in the country. Unfortunately, since the move to the new building it appears as though our membership has dropped! In the time that I have been using the library, never once have I seen any mention of the Kentucky Historical Society, its library, or the many services that are provided in ANY of the genealogical magazines that I have and do continue to subscribe too. I have attended conferences, and seminars outside the state in which we should at the very least be represented by a speaker! It seems for whatever reason we are a very well kept secret! Interest in our society needs to be revived! It seems as though the time has come for a director who wants the society to grow and expand. I for one would like to see not only the first floor of the library stack area filled with books, but also the addition of a second floor! The last director was brought in from out of state, which to me doesn't make a lot of sense. It is time that the director of the historical society is a Kentuckian, with knowledge of the history of the state, a vast knowledge of the genealogical holdings within the state, the ability to understand the needs of genealogical, and historical researchers, and the ability to work with our state legislature for the benefit of the society. I wish to nominate Mr. Ron D. Bryant as the new director of the Kentucky Historical Society. Ron D. Bryant not only has seventeen years of experience with the library, is a ninth generation Kentuckian, but is also extremely knowledgeable of the history and genealogical holdings in Kentucky. He is a noted librarian and lecturer on Kentucky, having written over eighty articles, and is the author of Kentucky History - An Annotated Bibliography published in 2000. If Ron D. Bryant becomes director of the historical society, he has stated that he will continue to help patrons with their research in the library. He believes that the director needs to be aware of the patrons needs, and that we must increase our membership. As I mentioned above, I wish to nominate Ron D. Bryant for this position, but I can't do so with your help. If, you agree with me, please send letters to the following gentlemen advising them to name Ron D. Bryant Director of the Kentucky Historical Society: Selection Committee c/o Mr. Walter Baker 917 S. Green Street Glasgow, KY 42141-2086 Selection Committee c/o Mr. Richard L. Taylor 335 Holt Lane Frankfort, KY 40601 Selection Committee c/o Mr. Thomas D. Clark 175 Kentucky Ave. Lexington, KY 40502 Many thanks for your help. Shelby A. Williams

Paul A. Troxell

Sharon, I read your query and looked up Troxell family in my 1850 Henry Co census and my Henry County History book. The History book does not mention Stephen Troxel, but does have a story on the Troxel family that was written and submitted by Thelma Jean O'Bryan Walker, who lives at 1998 Balltown Rd in Bardstown KY. She mentions old time Troxell family members: 1st) Peter Drachsel (Dutch spelling) and Juliana Catherina nee Frawhuger of Berns Canton, Switzerland who emigrated to America with his wife and two sons Peter Jr and Daniel, Aug 1733 to Philadelphia PA. They were german speaking Swiss. They had thirteen children. With the exception of son Peter Jr and Daniel who stayed on in the Allentown settlement in Lehigh County, PA, the rest of the family moved on to Frederick Co, MD, where Peter Sr died in 1766. Some of children moved on to Loudon and Augusta Co, VA and then some moved on to Kentucky. It looks like David born 1734 Bucks Co, now Lehigh Co, PA moved to Frederick Co, MD with his father and then on to Loudon Co VA and later on to Augusta Co, VA. he had eight "known" children. It looks like he stayed on in Augusta Co, VA. Then the story goes on to mention 2) Peter Troxell, who was born 1760/65 in Frederick Co, MD located to Augusta Co, VA ca 1791 where the firast records are found and is located on census Augusta Co for 1810-1840 where he and his wife are listed. Peter probably moves to Pulaski Co, KY where he is in the Tax list for July 1800and in Wayne County 1810 and 1820. Seven known children born to them. Then on to mention 3) George S "Jack" Troxell, born ca 1794 Augusta Co, VA m 1st Sarah Sally Rice 3 Apr 1816 Henry Co KY and Married 2nd ca. 1842 Nancy Hammond/Hammons, lived in Lockport Henry Co, KY. Then, 4) John Troxell born ca 1825/26 married Susanna Rice 25 Jan 1846 Henry Co, KY, died by Mar 1857 about 32 years old. She went on to marry Leonard Boren , 1885. These are the main descendants that might help you in your search. Perhaps Stephen was one of the "unknown" children to the submitter of this story. The Troxell story was given on Pg 221 thru pgs 223 of Hebry County KY history book. Hope this will help you in your search. I am researching the Fox family James and Elizabeth Colclaser/Kalklaser Fox) who came to Henry County from PA and Md, and I have never found any clue to their roots before 1850 Henry County in all of my years of research. James Fox was a Carpenter. so if you come accross that name please let me know. They moved on to Livingston County, KY.

Hello, There is a book on a family from New Castle, Henry County, Kentucky, the Prichards, on eBay, that I thought some of you may be interested in. It can be found here: <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2980&item=2913134467">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2980&item=2913134467</A> You are bidding on The Prichard Family - History and Genealogy of the Descendants of James and Elizabeth Hughes Prichard of New Castle, Kentucky by Martha Coleman Johnson. The book is a hardcover first edition that is 230 pages in length, including illustrations. It was published in the year 1915. The bulk of The Prichard Family is dedicated to the descendants of the above named couple. Other Prichards are briefly treated, mostly southern Prichard families. James PRICHARD was born abt. 1746, originally of Baltimore County, Maryland, died abt. 1818 - 21, and was buried in New Castle, Henry Co., Kentucky, where he had lived since 1786.
