Actually the headstone info is believed to be correct except for the son. The verification of Johnson instead of Johnston is intersting. Johnston came from a family book. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the marriage info that I have not seen before. David I. VAUTER md. Elizabeth Ann WATERS on 3 June 1836 - John WATERS bondsman. Was that marriages in HENRY COUNTY? I would like to try to trace the original document. It should read David J Vawter. That John Waters was the Bondsman may be her father. The bride's line has been a dead end for us. This couple were the parents of John Wesley Vawter and his sister-my GGrandmother.

In my marriage book, I find that J. W. VAWTER married Mattie R. JOHNSON on 3 January 1868. Since J. W. VAWTER died in 1930, have you checked his death certificate for names of his parents? Also, both records show the name JOHNSON and not Johnston. Additional marriages which might connect to the persons you list are: David I. VAUTER md. Elizabeth Ann WATERS on 3 June 1836 [they could be parents of Sanford], John WATERS bondsman John VAWTER married Mary E. NICHOLAS on 25 March 1840, father D. J. VAWTER Barbara

I think I made a typo. Would someone kindly check the cemetery book and advise me if this matched the entries in the Cemetery book? I have a source that says Johnston instead of Johnson. Sanford could not have been born before his parents were. Thanks in advance. John W. Vawter b 1844 d 1930 Robbie Johnson Vawter b 1847 d 1923 It is recorded these two were married.

Tommy Troxell Cravens (you'll meet at the Troxell reunion) told me that she had heard you were in bad health. I graduated from college 2 years ago. Since then I've had a lot more time to go back to my old hobby, ancestry hunting. I read you article in the new Henry Co. Ky history. The Rice-Downey thing George Troxell son Edwin T. (Tom) Troxell married Sarah Jane Adams her father was David Adams, Sarah Jane Adams mother was, (still not different) was probably Sarah Downey. If correct her father was Thomas Downey and Thomas Downey married a Rice (don't have her name off the top of my head. If so this would confirm another old family tale Tom Troxell and his first wife were cousins. In the last two years I have come up with another source for Nancy Troxell maiden name. The Duell-Clark funeral home records in Woodford Co. Ky. Elizabeth Troxell Adams death certificate has Nancy Hammonds as her mother. George Troxell orgin, still a big mystery???? Do you have Leonard Bonner in the 1880 census. If not let me know. Henry and Sarah(Susie Mary) are still at home. The place they put John Troxell(George son) place of birth is real interesting. George Troxell put VA 1850 census and then put MD on the 1860 census. Garret Troxell put Md for George's place of birth three times on census, Polly Troxell Clark put MD on the 1880 census. PS I now live in Maryland, I didn't plan it that way, got luck I reckon. Paul A. Troxell

Sally was a Rice before she married a Downey or was she an Adams? How are you doing on the Troxell's, I'm still not sure if the father of our George was Peter of Augusta Co., VA, or John d. in Scott Co., KY., we may never know. I stillhaven't found any proof that George m. Nancy Darbough, I did not find a marriage, I still think she was a Hammond's, like it states in one of the census.

Her previous two husbands were Thomas Bayse or Basey and then Jonathan Cropper who both passed away. She had children by each. I don't know who Benjamin's previous wife was, but maybe here is the answer! Hope to hear from you.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4AB.2ACI/316 Message Board Post: JOHN COBB, my gr gr grandfather, said in his 1881 biography that he was born 19 May 1814 in Henry County, KY. unfortunately he failed to tell his parents or siblings names. I would appreciate hearing form ANYONE with any information on him. I am including a portion of his biography. History of Lake County, Valley Publishers, 1759, Fulton Street, Fresno, CA 93721, 1974. Reprinted from History of Napa and Lake Counties, CA, Slocum, Bowen and Company, San Francisco, 1881. Historian of this book was Lyman L. Palmer. Biographical Sketch, p. 227 COBB, JOHN. Was born in Henry County, Kentucky, May 19, 1814. His father was a farmer. When John was but a child, his father moved to Indiana where they remained for six years, when they returned to Kentucky. When John was sixteen years of age, they returned to Indiana and his father resided in Jefferson County for five years, and then moved to Arkansas, where he died. In 1832, John went to Vigo County, Indiana, on the Wabash River, where he followed keel-boating, carrying freight to all the towns on the river. In October, on one of his trips, he laid up for the night at the foot of Coffee Island, eight miles below the Grand Rapids and two miles below Mount Carmel. About eight o'clock, he noticed quite a commotion taking place with the stars; they all seemed to be falling towards the earth; they seemed to increase thicker and faster until about midnight, when all of them seemed to part in the center above, falling towards the earth in all directions. They resembled many balls of fire, each leaving a brilliant light behind it; one would not get out of sight til another would be coming on the same line. The whole firmament seemed to be in a blaze of fire; it was the most beautiful sight he ever saw in his life. The stars seemed to gradually decrease in motion until about four o'clock in the morning, when all was quiet and every star wa! s in its proper place. He then proceeded down the rive into the Ohio, and down that stream to Paducah, at the mouth of the Tennessee River; he then went up the Tennessee with the keel-boat to Florence, in Tennessee; then he returned to Indiana - to the Grand Rapids, on the Wabash River. There he put in a crop of corn, sold it out, and went to Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he got a team and went back to Madison, in Jefferson County, after his mother, two sisters and brother and moved to Iowa Territory. They stopped at a place called Bloomington, which had one house in it, owned by John Vanater, the proprietor of the place. It soon grew up, however, to be quite a village and place of trade. It is located on the banks of the upper Mississippi River, thirty miles below Rock Island and sixty miles above Burlington. The name has since been changed to Muscatine City, Muscatine County. He then resided in that place where he followed farming and trading, for three years. In 1939, he took his mother on a visit to her mother who resided in Madison, Indiana, in April of that year. From there he returned to Iowa; staying there until fall, and started for Texas; got as far as Arkansas and was taken sick with the white swelling, which left him a cripple for life. He gave up the trip to Texas and returned again to Iowa in the spring of 1841, and remained there until 1843. He then went to Quincy, Illinois. Was married to Miss Jane Ann Leypold, April 18, 1845, who was a native of Ohio. Their first child, a son, was born February 18, 1845 and died August 15, 1845. The next, a daughter, was born January 13, 1847. He lost his wife on January 12, 1848 and his daughter died January 16, 1848. On August 17, 1848, he was married to his second wife, Miss Esther E. Deming, who is still living. She is a native of Ohio, and the mother of six children, whose names are as follows: John Rufus, George Oliver, Joseph Deming, Mary H. O., William Thomas, and Hester E., who are all living. The first one, John R. was born September 22, 1849, and the sixth one, Hester E., was born July 8, 1858. In the spring of 1850, he started across the plains with an ox-team en route for California, bringing his family, consisting then of his wife and one child with him. They reached Salt Lake, August 17, 1850, but owing to the delicate health of Mrs. Cobb, they remained there until the spring of 1851, when they crossed the mountains, and arrived at Ringgold, near Placerville, California on July 1st of that year. He then engaged in mining for about three weeks, when he bought into a grocery store and kept boarding house, which business he followed until September. Please email me at marhinton@netscape.net.

I would so appreciate hearing from anyone if they find anything on Fox, Colclaser or Colelaser family in the Henry County books. I know nothing of them except that they were there during that time. No clues as to their family or certainty of where they came from. These families lived in Henry County back in the 1830-1850 era, then moved on up into Northwestern Kentucky. Some Fox or Colclaser may have lived on in Henry County after that time. Thanks Marilyn
