I was wondering if Henderson shouldn't have been 11 instead of one. But I do think you are right, the marriage record is the thing to go after next. I wonder if the story about "England" was a family joke and they were talking about town of London in Laurel county. I would also try to get as many KY Death certs as you can. One guy that I've used is Chestery Ward. He can get copies of uncertified KY death certs (1911-1952) for $1 each. Most death certs name the parents. http://chesterward.freeyellow.com/index.html KY Death index: http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ky/death/search.cgi

Kathy I am impressed with your "few hour" response time ! I am spawning my search for my grandparents from my mothers Trigg county birth certificate- I expect things not to be as stated. my mother was born march 16, 1918 father: henderson holt, age 32, birthplace: cruise, kentucky mother: aggie browning holt, age 28, birthplace: cruise, kentucky. after doing the math, I was expecting birthdates for my grandfather around 1886, and my grandmother around 1890. my mother is named fannie, and had an older sister....who I think was named Elizabeth...so, the name sourcing from family logic fits in the browning search you did...the age also is similar- and quite possibly swapped around on the birth certificate ? making 1890 "her" birthdate, and "her" age 32. (really 34, but you know women !) the age disparity between henderson and aggy is too great to be valid though, although not impossible... henderson is a peculiar name for the region, and unless another can be found, may in reality be a match. their marraige certificate-where ever that took place-would bolster or reject the pairing as you found it. there is very little for me to really document in the time line, or with stories, etc. whatever the facts are has been distorted, and realigned intentionally for years, as if there were "issues" in the way that needed to intentionally get lost and forgotten about. my mother never had a middle name, her name was frances, her birthdate was 1919, and her parents both came from england was always the story----until I found the birth certificate ! she often spoke of rockcastle, the tva and the cumberland dam flooding...which I now find was the trigg county tva project. thisis my first endeavor into trying to reconstruct a past, so, i expect to be derailed by family secrets and modifications. how do i source marraige certificates-if they were even in vogue back then-in kentucky ? thanks again--I will see if i can find more to go on in my mothers papers peter

Reprinted with permission of the Laurel Co. Historical Soc. ******************************************************************* MAY 12, 1876 Mrs. Susan Hollingsworth, who lives on the north fork of Station Camp creek, in Jackson county, started to a neighbors house on the 4th ult., and was followed by her little boy about four years old, whom she whipped and drove back, directing him to go home. But the little fellow instead of going home, wandered off into the woods and was not found until the fourth day. When found he was much bruised from traveling among the rocks and torn by the briers. The search had been diligent from the time the alarm was given till the child was found, and everybody was surprised to find the child alive. He had sheltered from the frost and rain under a black log, and was indeed a pitiful object when found. The child at this writing is not able to stand up. MAY 19, 1876 HYMENEAL, -At 11 o'clock on Thursday the 18th inst., at the residence of General Jarvis Jackson, Mr. M. L. Wilson, of Lexington was wedded to Miss Margaret Chadwell, of this place. ATTENDANTS-Mr. R. M. Jackson and Miss Alice Ewell, Mr. James Stivers, of Manchester, and Miss Mattie Pitman, Mr. Edwin Hackney and Miss Sallie Hardin. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. B. Landrum. The happy couple left about 1 o'clock for Lexington where they will make their future home. Mr. Harvey Sutton got two of his fingers badly bitten by a horse last Saturday, while trying to shoe him. It will be some time before he will be able to work. Mrs. Pheby Hicks, wife of Allen Hicks of this county died on Monday last. MAY 26, 1876 MARRIED-MARTIN-COLDWELL-At the Christian Church, on Wednesday night , May 24, 1876, by Rev. V. Boreing, Mr. W. H. Martin of Christiansburg, Va., to Miss Frances M. Coldwell of London, Ky. Uncle John Chesnut one of our oldest citizens died on last Wednesday evening. Uncle John was a model of honesty and industry. He had been afflicted for sometime. The following persons have been tried before Mr. C. B. Faris, U. S. Com'r this week charged with moonshining , viz: George Chesnut, acquitted; Jabel Smith, held over, William Smith, held over; William Leger, held over; John Benge, held over, Addison Bowling, held over. KNOX COUNTY A man by the name of Alex Patterson, who stole a turkey from Jacob Goshen a short time ago was tried, and compelled to work sixty days on public property, with ball and chain fastened to him. He had worked some four or five days on the streets so this morning Paddy concluded it was a dear turkey and broke the lock that fastened the chain and ran off amid the shouts and cries of many of the citizens. He was followed a few hundred yards, but made good his escape and all are glad that he is gone. JUNE 9, 1876 James Sweeney a citizen of Laurel County has a little girl of four years who weighs only sixteen pounds. WOMEN'S THROAT CUT FROM EAR TO EAR The widow Faulkner who resided near Boston, Whitley county, Ky., was most brutally murdered on last Friday night, her person mutilated, and her throat cut from ear to ear, She lived at and owned an interest in the ferry across Clear Fork of Cumberland river. She had crossed the river on Friday evening and was detained till after dark, was attacked at the ferry on her return home. Considerable sign of the desperate struggles of the poor unfortunate woman to escape from the clutches of the bloody murderer, were seen on the bank of the river next morning. Suspicion seems to have rested on a near neighbor and partner in the ferry Mr. David Adkins a man of perhaps more than sixty years, he and his family were examined before the inquest as witnesses and upon their testimony Adkins was arrested and lodged in jail at Williamsburg, where he awaits his trial. We have no personal knowledge of this lamentable affair, but get our information from reliable parties from that locality. It ! is said that $200 cash which she was known to have carried in a belt around her waist, is missing. JUNE 16, 1876 Testimony as reported to us, in the case of the Commonwealth against David Adkins charged with the murder of widow Faulkner, as developed on the coroners inquest: The woman was known to be on the side of the river opposite her home. Adkins was seen down at the river, that evening. The ferry boat was cut loose and permitted to float down the river. She returned to the river about dusk finding her means of crossing cut off hollowed to her sister on the other side, who seemed to understand that Mrs. Faulkner would be in great danger should Mr. Adkins happen along, advised her to hide while she would look down the river for a canoe, but in being in the middle of the river she returned and told Mrs. Faulkner to go back to Mr. John W. Silers from shelter during the night, for it was then thick dusk and the rain falling. So the unfortunate woman started back from the river and was seen no more by her sister, Adkins ate his supper and then went to his mill, remained out abut two hours, returned home and washed his cloths spots of blood were still on the washed clothes next morning. His wife and children are highly respected but Adkins himse! lf though of a good family of people has been suspected of other crimes.I It is reported that he went cow driving during the war with Thomas Bird, returned with Bird's clothes which had a bullet hole through them. It was whispered that he killed Bird and robbed him now it is talked louder. We get this from a correspondent who speaks in the highest terms of the murdered lady and her noble and preserving efforts to provide for and to train her children properly, and he declares that the community will have the matter fully investigated.
