Hi Deronda, Ordatha/Ardatha Wyrick was the daughter of Ezekial Jefferson Wyrick and Amanda Burton from Lee Co., VA. Land records in London, Laurel Co., KY for E.J. Wyrick (various spellings of Wyrick): Wm. Storms and Ezikial Wyrick 2/19/1892 Book R 376 E.J. Wyrick and Minks, Henry M. on 3/25/1897 Book R pg 378 E.J. Wyrick and Minks, Wm, etc. 1/15/1895 Book R page 379 E.J. Wyrick and McDonald, J.J., etc. 1/15/1895 Book R page 379 E.J. Wyrick and Herron, Henry 4/9/1898 Book T pg 330 Robert Bustle purchased from E.J. Wyrick for $100 on Laurel Branch Nov 25, 1899 Book U pg 4 <- soon to be son-in-law E.J. Wyrick and G. A. Settle 1/14/1901 Book U pg 394 - London Lot 8 + Block K $150.- E.J. Wyrick and James Sparks 8/15/1901 Book U pg 598 - $2800.- near L&N Depot E.J. Wyrick and T. J. Perdee 4/25/1902 Book V pg 272 The Robert Bustle transaction was particulary interesting to me because Robert Bustle married E.J. Wyrick's daughter, Ordatha, as few months later. On the 1900 census Robert & Ardatha Bustle are hh. 398 and Ezeciel J. & Amandy Wyrick are hh. 399. 1900 Laurel Co., KY census: House 398 Robert Bussel (really Bustle) 30 Jan 1870 b KY md 0 yrs Ardatha 18 May 1882 b VA no children Also in house Robert's mother Mitha 63 a widow b Sep 1836 and his sister Fanny single 23 Mar 1879. The Mt. Echo got Robert's first name as James on his wife's obituary. They might have gotten the cemetery wrong too. Who knows. --------------- Excerpts from the Mt. Echo 1901 MAY 3, 1901 DIED-Last Saturday afternoon at the residence of her father, Exekiel Wyrick, Mrs. James Bustle, after an illness of over a month. Her remains were laid to rest on Cemetery Hill Sunday morning the bereaved relatives and other friends have our deepest sympathy. --------------- Next Robert married Niagra Sams about 1904. And that's about all the further I've tracked this family so far. Though Robert's parents are John Bustle and Teritha Jones... and Teritha was a sister of another of our ancestors, a Civil War vet named Sparks Jones. 1910 Laurel Co., KY census: Robert Bustle Enumeration District: 0122 Color: W Age: 49 Birth Place: Kentucky Visit: 0068 County: Laurel Relation: Husband Wife Nidana 21, Kentucky Daughter Othia M 05, Kentucky Son Casper O 03, Kentucky Son Jesse H NR, Kentucky 1 non-relative The transcription of the 1900 Laurel Co. census Kathy Deronda wrote: > > Kathy, > > My grandfather and family is buried at Cemetery Hill.
