In James Carson's obituary, it states that he was in Jessamine County, KY in his 28th year. Since he was born ca 1784, that would make it around 1810-1812. Does anyone know anything about James? I am wondering if he married his first wife, whom we believe to be Nancy, in Jessamine County. Just fishing. The obit is my only clue. Carolyn

Simeon Frost died of cholera in western part of Mo.yr?, wife#1 Mary Frost nee, Woods died in 1839,buried in Steelville,Mo. Seems to be many Simeon Frosts.The Frosts I am a decendant of are mostly buried in Grubville, Jefferson Co.Mo. Catharine and Edmond/Edward Frost had the following children William,Cyrius,George(my line),Melvina,Kansas. Cyrius and Catharine is the correct spelling of their first names(in a bible). Yvonne

Yvonne, My husband, Robin Frost is the great grandson of Edmond (not Edward) Franklin Frost and Catherine Wilson. Simeon Frost, Jr. is son of Simeon Frost, Sr. and Martha Scott. both were in Washington County, VA in about 1780. Some have said that Simeon Sr.'s parents are Ezekiel and Alice Hopkins of Morris County, NJ. Maybe, I would like to have proof. Catherine Wilson's father was Jacob. Regards, Kathleen

I do have Easley's from Jessamine County, but have not traced them forward to 1890. If you would like, I could send you the info to see if there is any connection. What part of Jessamine County is your home in? My family lived in the area of Nicholasville.

Hi list, How can one find a person buried in Jessamine Co. Looking for James and Ann Lear. Died around 1917. Not in Death index. Thanks, Marshall [email protected]

I looking for information regarding the children of Andrew McCune and Sarah Gist. My ggggrandfather was George A. McCune born in Ky in 1827. He married Sarilda Crow, daughter of Eli Crow and Eliza Morgan Dougherty. Both George and Sarilda are listed on the 1850 census for Jessamine County, Ky living with Eliza (Dougherty) Crow and children. George McCune had a brother, Joseph, who would marry Martha Crow, sister of Sarilda, when the family moved to Howard County, Missouri around 1851. Other siblings for George are John McCune and ,possibly, Mary A. McCune, who married William Dougherty. I have been told my George A. McCune could be a possible grandson of Andrew McCune and Sarah Gist. Any information would be greatly appreciated to clear up my confusion. Thank You, Teri C.

I Am looking for any information on a Margaret Easley that lived in Jessamine Co. Kentucky around 1890 until her death in or around 1918. Easley is her married name, im not sure of her maiden name. The only other thing I know is she had a son named J.H. Easley. Any family history would be appreciated. Thanks miki

Margaret's married name was easley, her husbands name was not listed on the deed. I dont know what her married name was. The only other thing i know is that she willed the home to her son J.H. Easley upon her death sometime in 1918. Thanks, Miki

I wish I could help, do you have any spouse for margaret? I am still trying to connect to the Easley line there. Let me know what you find out. Thanks for the contact. Devota

Why has the digest mail being posted 3 days in a row the same message? Tina (Trisler) Gilbert

I am of no relation to the easly family, however we just bought a old home in jessamine county. I went to research the house and found that a Margaret Easley bought the house in 1890. I suppose she was the orignal owner. I am trying to do a family history on the house and cannot fine anything on Margaret from jessamine co. If you are any relation to this easly I would appreciate a reply and some history, thanks

Hello All. Even though we are late checking in with thanks for a most wonderful week of history and genealogy, we praise the work you Jessamine Co. people are doing to preserve our history. Thank you for the benefit we - and future generations - are reaping. I only wish we had been feeling better that week and had been able to do more research. Now that we are better, we are looking forward to another get together with the people of like mind and interests that are drawn to your lovely county. I would love a video of Clyde narrating the slide show he gave of places of historical interest. I treasure prints of Howard Fain's drawings of places "as they were". Plans for keeping Main St. as authentic as possible were good to hear. I don't know of anyone who can make cemeteries sound as fascinating and as important to history and the family unit as Clyde and Ernestine. If only more counties had your zeal for preserving our history. Thanks again. We will be sending you our family files. Jeanne and Jim Ramsay

Tina, Any chance you have a typo? I show the following: Susanna Trisler m. Martin Cawby [6 Nov 1809] Marriage Rec: Old Book 2 Susanna Tresler m. David Smith - Old Book 10 Elizabeth Trisler m. John Waggaman -Old Book 11 These were copied from the Jess. Co. Marriage Index this summer. Susanna and Elizabeth were Peter's daughters. Terry

This is a correction to a message I posted earlier today. My message should read: Elizabeth Trisler married John Waggaman. These are the people I am looking for. They lived in Ohio in 1827 but were married in Jessamine County. Their early life in Kentucky is important to my Trisler search. Thanks Tina (Trisler) Gilbert

I am searching for iinformation about Susannah Trisler who married John Waggaman. It is believed she is the daughter of Dr Peter Trisler. I only have dates of their marriage. Would appreciate any other tidbits anyone can offer. Thanks Tina (Trisler) Gilbert

I'm thrilled to find more information on James Hiter. I have tons of information on Anna Singleton. I'm descended from their daughter Elizabeth Y. Hiter who married Elijah Gholson Pollard, also from Jessamine.

Thanks, Clyde. That is a great site. Thanks for sharing.

Is Grover related in any way to Benjamin Lunsford who m. Jane Foster in 1821? In the 1850 census there was an Alexander Lunsford family one home away from the Fosters in Garrard Co. Benjamin & Jane had Nancy, Judith , Elizabeth, Harrison, William and Joel. (the last 5 may have been gchildren. Roslyn([email protected])

Morning All, I took another ride on the Dixie Bell up the Kentucky River the other day. I thought about you folks that were here earlier this year for the Fest. You left some very good memories here, not only for myself, but many others. Speaking of memories, let me share this one with you. I WAS THERE THE DAY THEY DUG UP WILLIAM HUDSON. I lived in Lincoln County, about 75 yards west of the site of Logans Fort. We had managed to get a small grant to do a dig at the fort site. Not knowing the exact site of the fort, someone came up with this idea. We knew that the people living in the fort had dug a tunnel from the fort to a big spring down over the hill. The big spring had been filled in many years ago. But, we were able to plat it's location. Any how. It was taught, if we could find the tunnel, we could follow it to the fort. With a Back-Hoe they started digging a ditch. They had not went 10 feet, when everything came to a stop. They had uncovered some human bones. It's was William Hudson. The Indian had killed and scalped he there in the summer of 1777. You ask, how did we know it was William Hudson? Several others had been killed at Logan's Fort, but Hodson was the only one that had been scalped. It you had early ancestors in Kentucky, if a good chance that some of them came through Logan's Fort. Last year Ken Houp and I went to Shelby County and found the grave sites of Ben Logan and James Knox. It was a little sad. Here were two of Kentuckies most famous men, buried in a little family plot, that looked as bad as any that Howard and the others here are clean up. I taught you may enjoy reading the report on William Hudson. Look at the scalp marks. Can you get much closer to history? http://web.utk.edu/~herrmann/Logan/LOGANS.htm Clyde ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
