My friends - I need to make a correction on today's data posting: This is the *1830* Calloway County Census - *not* 1840, as was shown on the Subject line and in my narrative - I had been knee deep in 1840 census records all day and I suppose it was stuck in my mind. My apologies................ -B ============================================================

Bill, would you please send me the data on Gray, Rachel and Gibson, Nancy. ? Thank you for all your work and help, I do appreciate it. Lois Haile <heartbar@proaxis.com>

My friends - Today, we will move over into Calloway County, and resume our review of the 1830 census of that county. In prior segments, we had completed about three-fourths of the county, and with this post today, and one other, this series will be complete. If you see a name of interest to you, and you would like the complete age enumerations for that household, let me know and I will get that information to you. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with you request is very much appreciated. I have been asked, from time to time, by a fair number of our subscribers, about possibly having a KY Jackson Purchase "homecoming" gathering at some time in the future(perhaps in 2000), at a location in the Jackson Purchase area. A few of our sister regional lists and a few county lists have done this, and the result, from reading the commentary on these lists, has been positive. So, I am "throwing open the floor" for discussion about this issue. Is it something that you would like to see happen? If so, what sort of activities should be planned - should we have some "seminars" on genealogical topics, in addition to things like cookouts and so forth? I am certainly willing to consider looking further into this possibility, *if* there is sufficient interest(and I would say we would want to have at least 20% of our 540 List subscribers indicate an interest and actually be able to attend to make it really worthwhile). You can give me your thoughts by private e-mail or to the List as a whole. It may not be workable, but we can kick it around a bit. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Calloway County - 1840 Census - Heads of Households - Part 11 Staton, Wm Staton, Joseph Johnson, Isaac Lyle, John Lyle, Jane Ford, Absalom Smith, James Smith, Levi Gray, Rachel Bridges, Wm Shelly, Jane Gibson, Nancy Allcock, Jonathan Burkeloe, Wm Whitesides, Nancy Thompson, Henry Castleberry, James Lamb, Wm T.

Louisa F CLINTON married Golden J MILLER in Calloway Co, KY on September 29, 1859. They were both born about 1841. Both are dead-ends in my lineage so I would very much like additional infomation about either!

My friends - As we begin a new week of data postings, I am going to return to our review of the 1852-1859 Graves County Vital Statistics birth records. In prior posts, we had worked our way up to 1855, and we will continue with that year in this posting. If you see a name of interest to you, and you would like the full dataset for that birth(which normally includes the date of birth, sex of the child if not obvious, and the name of the father and maiden name of the mother), let me know and I will get that information to you. As always, your assistance in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. I have also added two new images to the JP Images Web Site. These are from the 1880 Graves County Atlas, and consists of the east and west sides of Township 4, Range 2 East. This covers the Clear Spring, West Plains and Twin Oaks area of Graves County. Some of the surnames shown as residents on this map include Smith, Kaler, Owens, Miller, Hollan, Woods, Mason, Fleming, Pryor, Coulter, Pritchett, Wilkerson, Puryear, Bressie, Summerville, Ford, Cosby, Hicks, Reed, Holmes, Hall, Weaver, Taylor, Gough, Chapman, Byrd, Jones, Carlile, and many others. The original of this particular map was dim, and I had to enhance it in order to get a workable image. As a result, there is some loss of clarity in the printing shown on the map, but I believe the names are generally readable. We have 6 new subscribers who have joined us in the past 48 hours, and I want to welcome them to the JP List, and invite them to post their research needs in the 8 counties of the Jackson Purchase region of KY here to the List. There is a good chance that someone among out 535 subscribers may be able to lend a hand. I also invite them to visit the searchable JP List Archives, where all of the previous posts made to this List, as well as my 300+ data posts, are available and can be searched by name or keyword. The Archives can be found here: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L Again, welcome. -B ============================================================ Graves County Vital Statistics Records - 1852-1859 - Births - Part 14 Cope, Milton Record, Malinda J.

Bill, Would you please send me the info on the following. Haynes, Thomas Jefferson Haynes, George Washington Haynes, L.F. (M) Rives, Reuben Thanks, Bobbie

There is record of an indenture entered into by John Hanks and his wife Charity of Hopkins Co. KY and ZACHARIAH CLINTON & his wife SARAH (Hanks) Clinton of Calloway Co. KY dated 31 Oct 1825 re land on Drakes Creek. Zachariah and Sarah had gotten married on 18 Nov 1821 in Hopkins Co, KY, but based on the above, they must have moved from Hopkins to Calloway County by 1825. Does anyone on the list have info about Zach and Sarah in Calloway Co. KY - or anywhere else??? I know that they went from KY to Perry Co. IL at about this same time. They were in Perry Co in time for the 1830 census. NEED: Info on Zachariah and Sarah Hanks Clinton in KY and parents and siblings for Zachariah. Any info welcome. I will be happy to share what I have. Thanks!! Joanne

Does anyone have or have access to a list of burials in Owens Chapel Cemetery in Lovelaceville? Need a lookup of MENSER and HAYES in that location, please. Kathy

Can anyone help with the COPELAND family in Calloway and Marshall Co. KY Rebecca Copeland m Nicholas Darnall/Darnell son of Rev Harry Darnall/Darnell How was Rebecca related to Nicholas Copeland and William Copeland. Was John who died in 1837 her father? thanks Mike I am reposting this because some people didn't receive the first posting, including myself. Sorry if you receive this twice.

I had family that lived in and around Columbus, Ky. that were married in Mississippi Co.,MO. I also had family that lived in Graves Co., that were married in SOUTH Fulton, which made them married in Obion Co.,TN. So those would be prime areas to check. I still have a marriage I can not find!! According to an obituary, Charles Halterman and Nancy Standfield, living in Hickman Co.,KY. were married 13 March 1900. These were my Grandparents. I have written every surrounding county I can see to try to find it but all say they do not have it.

My friends - I am stopping by to let you know that I now have another file prepared in our continuing series on land grants in the Jackson Purchase region. This file covers more of the "P" surnames, specifically Parker, Pace, Park/Parks/Parkes, Patterson, Paschal/Paschall, Palmer, Parrett, Paxton, Patrick, Payne, Patton, Praten, Parson, Patillow and Parkhill. Other available JP land grant files can be found on the JP Grants web site at: www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/JPGrants.htm If you would like a copy of the new "P" file, let me know and I will get it to you. Please request **File # LG857** when you send your request. I will send the file as a plain text attachment to an e-mail message, unless you specify that you need it as a straight e-mail message(which often tends to skew the columnar alignments). You will receive the complete file - time constraints do not permit me to go into the file and separate out just the data for a specific surname. Once you have the file in hand, you can easily delete those parts of it which are not useful to your particular line of research. -B ============================================================

Hi everyone: Elopement might not be the best term. A correspondent in southern Illinois told me that the marriage records for that area in the 1840-70 period revealed many residents of KY going to Illinois to get married in counties that border the Ohio river. If the reverse also occurred, -couples from Illinois crossing to KY to get married, -where would be the most likely place for this to occur. Would it be Paducah? Were there other Ky cities on the river where crossings would be available during this period? Dennis West in Knoxville, TN.

I know this question falls a bit outside the jurisdiction of our Jackson Purchase area, but Bill has said in the past that sometimes we go outside the area a little bit. This question concerns the iron furnaces of Stewart and Montgomery Counties of western TN. My family moved from this area into the Jackson Purchase area about 1868. Does anyone out there know if there are any records of employees that worked the numerous furnaces in and around Stewart and Montgomery Counties? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Daryl. p.s. Let me know Bill, if this type of question is inappropriate for our JP list.

My friends - Tonight, we will close out another week's data postings with the beginning of a group of postings in the "Tips" series that will be concerned with some of the lesser known records held in the National Archives. We are going to begin with Record Group 94 - Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1780-1917. This initial post will deal with the generalities of RG 94, and, in later posts in this series, we will discuss some of the unique records contained in this huge collection. The Adjutant General's Office has received, maintained and held records, orders and correspondence of the Army. It houses almost all of the records concerned with the military establishment, its personnel, commands, special collections and non-current records of bureaus of the former War Department. Records kept by the Office of the Adjutant General in a custodial capacity include those from the Revolutionary War, captured records of the Confederacy, papers of the U.S.Christian Commission, as well as captured records of the Philippine insurgency. In addition records were kept for the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Office of the Provost-Marshall Marshall General, and some others which would be of lesser value to genealogists. Associations between the Adjutant General's Office and other groups, such as the Record & Pension Office and the War Records Office existed for many years. The Record and Pension office was merged into the Adjutant General's Office in 1904. This is significant, because that Record & Pension Office held records concerning individuals who fought in wars ranging from the Revolutionary War through the Spanish-American War, and these records were "inherited" by the Adjutant General's Office due to the merging of the two entities. What sorts of unusual and potentially valuable records are in RG 94? Here are only a few examples: -Certificates of Disability - 1812-1899 - contains certificates issued by surgeons recommending discharges for soldiers, with such information as name, rank, organization, when, where and by whom enlisted, place of birth, personal description, and other items - Register of Deceased Soldiers - 1848-1861 - gives name, rank, organization, date of death, cause of death, place of death, and other material - Record of Enlistments - 1798 - 1912 - gives name, place of enlistment, date, by whom enlisted, age, occupation, personal description, regimental assignment, report of examining surgeon, etc. -Personal Papers - 1812-1912 - contains such items as descriptive lists, orders, assignment cards, reports of physical examinations, certificates of disability, discharges, final statement papers, medical papers, burial records, and on and on. As we get into this group of postings, I will go into greater detail on the hundreds of sets of records RG 94. It is a fascinating collection. As is usual, there will be no data posts per se over the weekend, but i hope to drop by with another JP Land Grant Text File. I am currently working on a project connected with the JP, which is taking some degree of time, but I think the end result will be worth the effort. More on that as things progress. -B ============================================================
