Surnames: Grimes Mcpheron Eggers Warner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ABB.2ACE/3483 Message Board Post: Does anyone know of a Nancy Grimes born about 1839. She was married to William Mcpheron. She was mygreat-great grandmother.

The 1850 Jessamine County, Kentucky Census noted: George Gaylord age 37, Carpenter, born in New York; Margaret A. Gaylord age 28, born in Tennessee; A. H. Gaylord (F) age 8 born in Virginia; Mary J. Gaylord, age 6 (F) born in Virginia; Statenia A. Gaylord, age 2, born in Kentucky; Casbey A. Gaylord, 9/12, born in Kentucky; Eliza D. Cornett age 22, born in Tennessee. As you see, there is Eliza D. Cornett living with the family. In 1854, George Gaylord left for New York (his birthplace), but never made it. So................ The 1860 Census of Mt. Sterling, Montgomery County, Kentucky, listed the Gaylord family and Eliza Cornett in the John Cornett houshold, but listed their last name as Cornett. The Census read: John Cornett age 72, Blacksmith, born in Virignia; Hester Cornett age 67, born in North Carolina; Eliza Cornett, age 33, born in Tennessee; Margaret Cornett (Gaylord?), age 37, born in Virginia, Harriot Cornett, age 27, born in Virginia; James Cornett, age 26, Blacksmith, born in Virgnia, David H. Cornett, age 26, born in Virginia; Jane Cornett (Gaylord?), age 16, born in Kentucky; Statira Cornett (Gaylord?), age 13, born in Kentucky; Ausby (Casby?) Cornett (Gaylord?) age 8; John Cornett, Jr, age 5, born in Kentucky. In the 1870 Census, Margaret and he children had the Gaylord name back, in Montgomery County,and I cannot find the Cornetts. My theory is that Margaret was a Cornett, daughter of John Cornett and Hester Cornett. Can anybody help me with this? I am trying to find Margaret Gaylord after 1870. I am also looking for the Cornetts Thanks, Russ Turner The Woodlands, TX

Bryce, Sorry to be running so slow. I am going to send a copy to Susie as she is the 'cousin' who has connects to Caldwell, Fox & Irvine. We have a Dickerson connection as well. I'm pretty sure that some of these must be a cousin to some of your cousins. I know Susie just had carpal tunnel surgery, so there may also be a delay there, but I also know she was chasing down Richard Caldwell Goggin while I was chasing Richard Hayes Goggin ( this one got around. KY, MO and CA that we know about!) I will send you some info on the Dickerson & Irvine connections direct to your email, but it may be this weekend before I can stop to look for my notes. Later!

Jesse Mims ROPER (d 31 Mar 1901 - Phillipines) of another generation? [Please see my recent Posts beginning "Death of Lt. Cdr. Jesse M. ROPER (d 1901 - Phillipines)" at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=surnames.roper&m=692 .] This latter Jesse Mims ROPER seems to have been the first son of Alfred William ROPER (b abt 1819 - KY). From what I can tell the Joseph ROPER enumerated in Hickman county, KY, seems like the most likely candidate to be alfred William ROPER's father. I ahven't yet checked L. David ROPER's ROPER Family History files to see where he is placed by others, but your indication of a Jesse Mims ROPER in KY in a previous generation seems to almost surely link these. What else can you share with us regarding your research on this line??

I am working on the Richard Young family. He was born in 1774 and died in 1827. He was married to a Nancy Carr. They had three children by the name of William C. Young, Warren D. Young and Walter Carr Young. The first two died in the early young lifes in the early 1820s with no children. Walter Carr Young, (MY LINK) was married to Henrietta Sophia Peck. They both died in the 1880s.. What I am looking for is someone else that may be working on this family and all other collateral families. Richard Young had a brother named Minor Young, who married to Lydia Glover. Judah Young, who married James Martin. Leticia Young, who I believe married to a William Martin. There father William Young, who died in 1793 in Fayette County Kentucky had these children through a Marriage, in which I do not know who the Mother would be. However, I I do know that he was married to a Mildred Douglass in 1781 in Orange, Virginia. In this marriage, three more children were born. They are John Douglass Young, who married to a Eliza Blair and was the replacement to Levi Todd as the Clerk of the Court when Levi Todd Died. Patsy Young who married to Thomas Carr. Lastly William Douglass Young who married to a Maria Jackson and Elizabeth Pleasants and lived in Woodford County Kentucky. Nancy Carr and Thomas Carr were siblings and the children of Walter Chiles Carr and Elizabeth Chiles. Again, If anyone knows anything about this family and also the many Youngs that are in this area, at the time of Early Kentucky history, please get in touch with me. Jeff Jeppson Mt.
