Hi all, I too have holiday fat fingers plus were are on 7/12's at work. Doesn't leave much time. Can anyone tell me if there is anything on line with the names of the prisoners that would have been in the Frankfort Jail in the 1870's. I just received my copy of the Kentucky Explorer and it had a great story on the prison. I think this is where my gggrandfather James Madison Welch would of been sent after he allegedly murdered Asa Castle. Also to let you know that I sent a list of my mysteries to Johnson County Courthouse along with a self addressed envelope and the results were wonderful. The girls in the office were like Santa and sent me wonderful items. I have copies now of the marriage licensee of James Madison Welch to Elizabeth Collins, William Welch to Angeline Collins, Elijah Welch to Polly Waddle ( this was a marriage that everyone said never happened...it did tho and now I have the proof). I will be sure to send the girls in the office a real treat at the holiday time for all their work and effort. Still tho I have yet to find the info on the James Welch and Ethel Litton family (my grandfather) Ethel is still a mystery. Thanks tho to a poster in Pike Co. I did find the Varney connection (an obit in a scrapbook) to Welch. His mother was a Lucinda Welch. So you see I am here still trying to turn this bramble bush to a family tree. Plus trying to get everything together for Christmas. @ trees up and 3 to go. I love Christmas. Do my trees in themes was going to do an "ancestry" tree but wasn't able to finish all the photos and histories and items from every state that they came from. Hopefully next year I will have ample items to do this tree. Semper Fi.
