Randal, In 1810 census there are only 4 Swearingens in Lewis Co. John Swearingen -age 45+- reportedly from Fayette Co. PA on page census page 101 and his sons - Daniel 26/44, Jno, (jr) 16/25, Othe 16/25 on census page 99 just 2 houses from Oke Hendrickson who was known to live in Poplar Flat (Lewis County's first governmental meetings held at his house- see much more in Ragan's history) So father John was living in one location while his 3 sons were living in Poplar Flat area. A study of the other names on page 101 where father John lived may provide more clues to where he was located. Barb Randal W Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> The above passage by Rev. Ragan is not easy to understand. There are several questions raised by the vagueness of the writing. The location of the horse mill that was started by Mr. Swearengin was not named, but might have been Salt Lick, since that was the community that was being discussed in the context. Mr. Swearingen's given name was not included, leaving his identity in question. In addition, the Swearingen who built a grist and saw mill on Babin Creek might not have been the same man who started the horse mill. The third Swearingen enterprise, a mill near what was known as Old Union Church, might have been built by a third Swearingen. The passage does not clarify these matters. ______________________________

Hi, Just want to let DAVIS researchers know a DAVIS LIST has been set up all are invited to share and learn about one another .. Subscribe to YourDavisGenealogy@yahoogroups.com Derre

Hello Barbara and June, My husband's Davis family married into the Applegate family as follows: Jesse James Applegate born May 28, 1892 in Happy Hollow, Lewis county, married Pearl Lee Davis born Feb 11, 1889 in Nashtown, Lewis county on Aug 5, 1910 (don't know the place). Jesse was the son of Paris Brown Applegate and Phoebe Ellen Sexton. Paris was born Sept 8, 1867 in Happy Hollow and was the son of Benjamin Applegate and Sarah Arland. Benjamin was born Jan 26, 1841, where unknown. Benjamin was the son of Jacob Applegate and Amanda Brooks. Jacob was born Jan 17, 1805 and was the son of Benjamin Applegate and Hannah Peters. Benjamin was born April 25, 1774 in Berkeley county, Virginia and was the son of Jacob Henry Applegate and Mary Prudence Wallingford. Jacob was born in 1746 and was the son of Daniel Applegate and Elizabeth Hulett. If anyone has connections to this family, please contact me! I have more information than what I've written and would love to share. Thanks and Happy New Year! Maria Mastin

I want to post this again in hopes of finally putting this family tree together so I can send it off to my cousins. They are the sons of Joseph G. Waring (1902-1972) and LeMonne Phillips (1913-2001) and grew up on the family farm in Garrison, Ky. Joseph G. was the son of John F. Waring and Jane McAllister. From there it gets really confusing. A lot of Basil Warings and Francis Warings...etc. Does someone have this family tree and can help me connect Joe in there somewhere? Thanks...any help is appreciated Pam

Dear Subscribers to the Lewis County, Kentucky Mailing List, Reverend O.G. Ragan's ~History of Lewis County, Kentucky~, Jennings and Graham Press, Cincinnati, 1912 (reprinted by the Lewis County Historical Society in 1990) contains a passage that mentions more than one mill whose builder was a Mr. Swearingen. The quotation is from page 23. "After this (after 1808) a grist and saw mill was built near Clarksburg by Rowland T. Parker, and a horse mill was started near Bethel Church by William Cordingly. A horse mill was started by Mr. Swearingen, and a grist and saw mill on Cabin Creek by Swearingen, and one near what was known as Old Union Church." The above passage by Rev. Ragan is not easy to understand. There are several questions raised by the vagueness of the writing. The location of the horse mill that was started by Mr. Swearengin was not named, but might have been Salt Lick, since that was the community that was being discussed in the context. Mr. Swearingen's given name was not included, leaving his identity in question. In addition, the Swearingen who built a grist and saw mill on Babin Creek might not have been the same man who started the horse mill. The third Swearingen enterprise, a mill near what was known as Old Union Church, might have been built by a third Swearingen. The passage does not clarify these matters. I do not know where the Old Union Church was (or is) located in Lewis County. I presume that "a grist and saw mill" was ONE mill which served the dual purpose of cutting lumber and grinding grain. If that assumption is correct, there were a total of three Swearingen mills mentioned in the Ragan passage, which were built by one, two or three Swearingens. The first mill on the list was the horse mill that was started by a Mr. Swearingen. The second mill was the combination(?) grist/saw mill on Cabin Creek. The third mill was either a combination(?) grist/saw mill or a simple mill, located near what was known as Old Union Church. I do not have enough knowledge about the design and functions of mills to know if "a grist and saw mill" was one mill or two mills, although I am leaning toward the dual-purpose idea. This provides more information on the subject of "Swearingen's Mill", but it also adds questions. Two of those questions are HOW MANY Mr. Swearingens were residents of Lewis County, Kentucky in 1810 and how many of those were mill-builders. Sincerely, Randal "Randy" W. Cooper Lorain, Ohio P.S. It must be borne in mind that Cabin Creek flows into the Ohio River in Mason County, Kentucky, at the community of Springdale, which is about five or six miles east of Maysville. Cabin Creek enters Mason County about three miles from its mouth. I do not know the route of the road which in 1810 connected the community of Washington, Mason County and a Swearingen Mill. Washington now adjoins Maysville, but in earlier years, it was separated from Maysville. Washington is situated inland from the Ohio River by about two miles.

Barbara, I am related to McKees, Himes, & the Applegates & Gills through marriage. Also have others in Lewis Co. so if these are your lines, I'd like to compare info. Thanks a lot.

Denise, I descend from many families who came to west/northwest Lewis Co in early 1800's - no Swearingen- at least not yet discovered. Applegate, Adams, Mackey, Hendrickson, Gill, Himes, Graham, Grimes, Tanksley, Rednour, Rowland, James Barkley(b.?1750 d. 1826Lewis, came to Lewis Co from SW PA)----just to name a few. In a number of records I find such words as "below Swearingen[?r] mill" or other references to this landmark. In the case of James (?Chambers) Barkley, who was in 1810 the overseer of theroad from East Fork of Cabin Creek to South Fork, reference was made to the crossing of this road with one that lead from Washington to Swearingen mill. Therefore, knowing the exact location of this mill will help me to better identify where several of my ancesters lived.

My last direct line ancestor was Elizabeth Searingen born 28 December 1839, married to Squire Ruggles on 20 September 1858 in Lewis County.

Fellow Lewis Co., KY researchers, I am seeking information on the family of George and Sarah Smith who are listed below in extracts of the 1870 and 1880 Lewis Co., KY census records. I have not been able to find this family in the 1860 census yet. They may be in the 1860 census of Greenup or Carter Co., KY, but I have not found them as of this date. My questions are: What was Sarah's maiden name? Were she and George previously married to other persons? When and where did George and Sarah marry. Who did the children marry and when. Is Rombus in the 1870 census the same person as Breckenridge in the 1880 census. Any assistance will be appreciated.
