Hi Anne, I can't seem to get a message to you using the address I have so today I'm trying both ways of getting to you. Did you not get the Shadrach Preston cemetery list that I sent you? I sent it about a week ago and it finally occurred to me that if you hadn't acknowledged it you might not have received it. Let me know. I also have photos of several of the stones if you would like to have them. Judy Preston, Trimble, VanHoose, Picklkesimer, McKenzie http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1019628

Need your help. I am looking for info on my Cole Family. David Mason Cole and wife Jane raised family in Lee co, Va. Their children married and migrated to Kentucky in about 1880..Names of these children are Elivira Cole Wilder, Mary Jane Cole Suttles, George Cole and wife Sarah Catherine Smith, Member Cole Smith, Nancy Cole Hobbs, ...Martha Cole no other info. Robert Cole married either June Stepp or Catherine Daughty. This Cole line descends (several generations) from James Cole of Plymouth. Would appreciate your help......Barbara

I have a picture that is marked "Farmer Picklesimer and his first wife. Everyone agrees that she existed but nobody seems to remember who she is. Help! Judy Preston Wallace Preston, Picklesimer, Trimble, VanHoose, McKenzie http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1019628

Kayleene and Chris, Thank you so much for supplying me with this information!!! I also do lookups for other people so I appreciate the gesture and the time you spent on it. The reason I am interested in the surname of PATRICK is because I am helping someone else with theirs and I am trying to find out the parentage of one Eviline (i.e. Emaline or Lavina and now possibly Ella) HAMILTON (RICE). I first find Eviline (her last name is supposed to be HAMILTON (RICE) in the 1850 Floyd County Census in household# 636 with Samuel Rice and Jane Patrick. Jane is too young to be Eviline's mother. Eviline had a daughter Josephine in or around 1859; before 1860 so she should be listed with Eviline (various spellings) in one of these census records starting with 1860. Josephine married Johisa (various spellings such as Jehisey) COLVIN March 18, 1874 in Johnson County. Josephine is shown in a family bible as the daughter of Melvina Hamilton Rice. Melvina Hamilton Rice married Absolum Conley on 1-12-1861. I am trying to establish just who Melvina Hamilton Rice is and who her parents were so that I can "track" her whereabouts before she married Absolum Conley. There seems to be two women in Johnson County that may be being confused with one another as per the following information: In the Johnson County Birth Records: Albert COLVIN b. 8-6-1875, s/o Johisa COLVIN and Josephine RICE. Father born in Johnson County; mother born in Owsley County. (This is correct information) Sarah COLVIN b. 4-22-1878, d/o Johisa COLVIN and Josephine RICE. (correct) The following leads me to believe there's another woman in Johnson County who is being confused with the Melvina RICE I am searching for: Johnson County Death: Perlina Conley: Age 65 yrs. Female. Married. Died 1-8-1878 of Consumption. Parents: Absolum Conley and Melvina Conley. AND the following record: 1) Susannah H. Conley b. 11-13-1861; d/o Absolum Conley and Lavina Hamilton. Both parents born in Floyd County. 2) Lydia M. Conley b. 8-(left blank)-1875; d/o Abner Conley and Melvina Hamilton. Father born in Va. and Mother born in Owsley County, Ky. Melvina is supposed to have been born in either Owsley or Lee County. I found the following in the 1850 ESTILL County Census: Household# 823 Lewis D. Hamilton 45 Elizabeth Hamilton 34 Thomas J. Hamilton 11 EMALINE HAMILTON 9 John F. Hamilton 7 Malinda Hamilton 5 Elizabeth Hamilton 3 James L. Hamilton 1 If I go by the 1880 Johnson County Census with the ages this would not coincide with the "right Emaline" but I also have seen a lot of errors where years were added on to their stated ages. I have not found a record of marriage for a Melvina (or Elvina, Lavina, Emiline) Hamilton and and Rice. The only marriage I find is that of her and Absolum Conley. A lot of his family lived in Floyd County. I did find another marriage for Absolum Conley to a Cynthia Ann Jaynes on 12-8-1854 and he is stated as being 19 yrs old at this time. Now for the PATRICK surname: First, as I stated earlier, I found a Eviline (Rice?) listed in household# 636 with Samuel and Jane Patrick Rice in Floyd County in 1850. The parents of Greenville PATRICK are listed in household# 627 as follows: William Patrick 56 s/o William and Mollie Raines Patrick Nancy 48 d/o Archibald Prater..they were married on 4-8-1816 in Floyd County Greenville 26 m. Eveline Rice Robert 20 Mary 11 Rebecca 7 In 1860 Magoffin County Census: Household# 377 Greenville Patrick 35 Eveline (Rice) 24 (Ell could be short for Eveline) Samuel H. 4 Sarah 1 According to documents I found (have to pay for) in Ancestry.com Greenville Patrick is found in the following: 1850 Floyd County 1860 Magoffin County 1870 Johnson County 1890 Lawrence County Listed in the 1870 Magoffin Census (this book just arrived today!) Household# 99 Green Patrick 45 Evaline (Rice) 37 Huston 14 Sarah 11 Smith 1 Okay, I did find a Greenville Patrick listed in the 1880 Magoffin County Census: Household# 160 Greenville Patrick 54 (which would coincide with his stated age) Widow Sarah 21 Smith 11 Nancy 7 So, I hope I have explained my dilemma thoroughly and hope someone on this list can provide me with the information I seek. Maybe I have been on this computer too long! :-) As I mentioned earlier, I also do lookups for people.

Maudie, You have to be right and it has to be Zora. I bet the original hand writing was not so hot. From what I wrote down Auora was a Picklesimer and Vernie was a Caudill. It would fit for Zora to be a Caudill also. We may be able to figure this out after all. Judy Preston, Trimble, Picklesimer, McKenzie, Vanhoose http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1019628

Chris, I too looked for the cemetery in Whitehouse where Greenville Sagraves is buried and didn't have much luck. We ran into a distant cousin who told us the general area (up the hill next to the church) but we could not locate it. Of course, that's before I realized that the cemetery would be covered with underbrush and would not look like the Son Butcher cemetery on that main road! I did have a list of those buried in the Whitehouse cemetery but he was not shown. I cannot locate that list today but will search for it some more and send it to you. I've also located more info about Maud and Almeida's siblings I will send to you via your personal e-mail address if you would like to have it. --Virginia Ward Hermes

Judy the picture with Zora Caudill in it are you sure that is not Zura instead of Zora My Grandmother in law was Zura Caudill Trimble and I don't now if she had a sister Auora she had a sister Dora and Doshie, Josie, Audrey.

Judy, Glen Rigsby was first married to Hazel (not sure of maiden name). My great aunt, Maxie Rigsby married two of Glen's brothers. She was first married to Watt Rigsby and after his death she married his brother, Ballard. My mom can remember staying with Glen and Hazel when Hazel broke her back. Mom did all the housework and cooking for them and helped care for Hazel until she was on the mend and able to resume her household chores. One of the funny memories my mom has of Glen is that he would not eat an onion if it had been washed. He liked eating them after peeling off the first layer. Ann

I have Rigsby!!!!!! My Grandmother was Esther Rigsby Adams, daughter of Leander Franklin Rigsby and Sarah Jane Smith! Ann

Ann & Darrel, What a great job you are doing putting the Johnson County cemeteries online. I just looked at your latest effort for the Patty Flat Cemetery and it is very impressive and helpful. THANK YOU for sharing all this information with the rest of us. I feel bad asking, but if possible, could you include an "overview" picture of the cemeteries when you photograph them? Everyone should be sure to check out this latest addition to the Johnson County website - it truly is one of the best.

Hi Judy, I don't have any connections to those pictures but i love to see old pictures so i took a look. Wow what treasures! Faith

Thanks Judy! Without checking, I'm not exactly sure where they fit into my family but I know they do because of you mentioning the name Skaggs! The Rigsby's and the Skaggs family had quite a few siblings that married each other. Quite a few double first cousins there! I'd love to see them and will go to your site as soon as I finish this letter. Thanks again, Gail Williams Pierce

I need to find someone who is researching Rigsbys and would like some pictures that I have. I just found them a few days ago, didn't know I had them. My mothers' second husband was Glen Rigsby, from Red Bush, who once drove the school bus at Flat Gap. I think his middle name was Foster but I'm not sure. I have a picture of his mother Cordelia (don't know her birth name). I also have a picture of Glen and some of him with some of his siblings: Mony Skaggs, Melissa Moore, Minnie Rigsby and Proctor Rigsby. I'll post both photos on my album: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1019628 and will send the originals to whoever.........
