Seeking information on any and all HILTERBRAND families in the Lewis County area. Many variations of this surname. Thanks! Dianna Gilliam justpeachy@greenhills.net

I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable holiday with friends and family this past week and that life is good. I just returned yesterday afternoon from spending ten days with my mother and after a long nap late in the afternoon and back to bed before midnight last night I find myself wide-eyed and sleepless so I thought I would update my files a bit this morning before getting ready for church at 9AM. While I was away from Missouri, my mother and I made a brief trip to Kentucky and I stopped into the Rowan County Library for a few minutes and made a few notes from the Lewis County Pioneer Families book (Volume II) printed in 1999 by the Lewis County Historical Society. Now of course I need more info! I am hoping perhaps some folks on the list might be able to help me with the following: Mattie DEATLEY (b. Apr 1894) m. William L. IRWIN 8 Sept 1911 Their children were: George, Charles, Chester, Eugene, Opal (KENNARD), Mary (Forrest KEGLEY), Martha (COOK) and Robert Shulta who died in infancy. I wondered if this Mattie is related (probably a niece?) to Cassandra DEATTLEY who married William Samuel KEGLEY? I feel there must be a close connection there, particularly with one of the IRWIN daughters marrying a KEGLEY. I also found notes for the families of Ernest and Hester (VERGNE) KEGLEY. Four children listed. Did Vincent KEGLEY marry and have a family? Josephine died at age 23; was she married prior to her death? Harry m. Velma PERKINS and they had two sons: Shawn and Brian. I would love to fill in their blanks. Billy died in early childhood. Was he born 29 March or 10 June 1932? I have conflicting dates. Ambrose and Exie (KEGLEY) REDDEN had six children. Would like birth order and additional info on them. (daughters married into GRIFFITH, WILLIAM, and THURSTON lines) I am always interested in ANY and ALL information of KEGLEY descendants. I do NOT sell my information to any data collection base for resale, nor do I intend to publish a book any time in the near future. My notes remain private and my sources are credited in my database as I have no wish to take credit for research that is not my own. Thanks! Dianna Gilliam justpeachy@greenhills.net

Richland Creek is somewhere around Orangeburg since a road was laid out from Maddux to Williamsburg (Orangeburg) "as far as Richland Creek.". But I do not know which creek used to be known as Richland. I am trying to locate where Zorobable Maddox had his 500 acres. It was N. of the Licking and also touched Richland Creek - unless he had more than one parcel of land which could be.

Linda, All I know about Katty is that she was born in Aug-1884 in Fleming County, Ky. Her Father and mother were John Harvey Gray & Margaret Ella Hopkins. Sorry I don't know were her Father was born all I can say it was in Fleming County, Ky. Info taken from the 1850 Census of Nicholas County, Ky. Jim

Bev & others, The 1795 Census as you may know is not a true census but a compilation made from tax records for KY. The copy I have only contains Shelton to Short, but it was provided by TLC Genealology about 1991. Now the Mason Co. Museum forwarded me copy pages from a book called Kentucky Pioneers and Their Descendants which was compliled by Ila Earle Fowler for the Kentucky Society, Daughters of Colonial Wars. In it they copied the section called Mason County Taxpayers, 1793, they quote that this information was gathered from Mitchell Hall, in his History of Johnson County (apart of old Mason) in it Vol I, gage 57 gives the taxpayers in 1793 within the District of Wm. Lamb No. 2, Commissioner in the County of Mason. On it their is no May's but a James McKay and a Timothy Mayhall. This list also has the following: Shepherd, George Shepherd, John Jr. Shepherd, John, Sr. Shepherd John W. Shepherd, Solomon Shepherd, William Hope this helps anyone, Cheers, Mark Shepherd Beverly Aytes-Bowhall wrote: > Mark, > > Where did you get a copy of 1795 KY census??

Jim, My g g grandfather was William Gray who was in Carter County, KY in 1870 with a son John. Other children were Lionel Madison, William, Jane M. who was married to a Crouch and a Hardy, and Albert. This John would have been of the correct age to be the one you are searching. Do you know any more on his birth place or parents? Linda Gray Lawless

Just realized that it may be of value to KYLEWIS-L Also I looked at your record concerning Indian Creek and found it was dated before the creation of Lewis from Mason. So that could be the Indian Creek in Lewis Co - find it in south Lewis - following route 377. So we have in south Lewis from west to east: Mud Lick, Beechy Creek , Kinniconick, Indian Ck.

I have known about a Polly Shepherd who married into the Plummer line, but to this point have been unable to connect to Solomon, other that the fact that a Solomon Shepherd signed her marriage application in place of her father. My assumption is that was possibly a brother or maybe even an uncle? I have never uncovered Elizabeths maiden name. Oddly this is where I am stuck, not enough proof to move along, plenty to bring me to todays date, but none father back. I have been unable to find a will for either Solomon or Elizabeth in Lewsi, Mason or Fleming countys. Elizabeths inventory was ordered march 30, 1816 in Lewis county also by Joseph Robb. I have a copy of a 1795 Census of KY compiled from 1795 tax lists for all of KY on it are the following: Shepard, Adam, Jefferson Shepard, George, Mason Shepard, James, Logan Shepard, John, Mason Shepard, John Sr., Mason Shepard, Solomon, Mason Shepard, William, Mason Shephard, John, Lincoln Shephard, John, Shelby Shepherd, Aabraham, Mason Shepherd, Adam, Jefferson Shepherd, Adam, Nelson Shepherd, Benjamin, Jefferson Shepherd, Charles, Mason Shepherd, Christopher, Shelby Shepherd, Davis, Shelby Shepherd, James, Shelby Shepherd, James, Woodford Shepherd, John, Mason Shepherd, Martha, Shelby Shepherd, Samuel, Scott Shepherd, Thomas, Mason Shepherd, William, Mercer Shepherd, William, Woodford Shepherd, Zenan, Scott Shepherf, John, Nelson Sheppard, George, Mason The 1810 Census of Lewis Co, KY pg 99 lists: Solomn Shepherd - Males- 4(<10), 1(16-26), 1(45 & over) Females 2(<10), 3(10-16), 1(45&over). William Shepherd - Males- 2(<10), 2(10-16), 1(26-45) Females 2(<10), 2(10-16), 1(45&over). John Bell - Males - 1(16-26) Females 3(<10), 1(16-26) We believe that Solomon & William are probably brothers and John Bell is Solomons Son-in-law who married Polly Shepherd April 5, 1806 Bond Date Mar 31, 1806. Don't know if this helps out much - let me know I'm digging near the end! Cheers, Mark Shepherd

That road-that buffalo trace- from Vanceburg>Clarkville [burg?] on to Williamsburg =Orangeburg is the earliest recorded road in Lewis Co, and one of the eariest in n Ky. I'm guessing it ran on to Mays Lick,and on to the Lower Blue Licks. No,I think Mud Lick was an original name. It may be the Mud Lick,where my many great uncle,John Sappington,Jr escaped from Indian capture -down in Estill Co,1780-1782. When you have a salt lick favored by buffalo for many years in an area on normal topsoil,the biffalo tracked the mud away on their feet,and the lick became hollowed out,sometimes to 2-3 acres. And,with the buffalo gone,the area soon became a bog. Cloverlick,on the farm my dad grew up on,had became a bog and they fenced it's 2 acres from their pasture,because they lost cows in it. Indeed,my dad was a trapper as a boy,but that bog was considered too dangerous to trap mink or muskrats. Long hunters,floating down the Ohio,or other rivers,checked the waters entering the river from creeks and runs. They were looking for muddy water-muddied by buffalo up-creek at a lick. Many of the creeks 1st named Muddy Creek picked up later names. "Seedtime on the Cumberland" gives a 1st hand discription of the French Lick,at Nashville,Tn,by George Morgan,before,and after the buffalo were gone.. On Mon, 19 Nov 2001 08:24:45 -0500 "K.

I have page 27-29 because I was gathering info on my John H. Maddox. The signers are John H. Maddox, James Givens, George Means and William Walker. Your missing phrase is "At a Court" held for Lewis Co....July 1812. I have the inventory but not the sale. I always type out ("transcribe") old documents because they are so hard to read. I also use a magnifying glass to transcribe. I had hoped my John H. Maddox was related to your Solomon Shepherd, perhaps his wife, Elizabeth's, maiden name. But I have found nothing. Hope this helps.

Hello, The estate I have pages 78,79 and 27,28 of Solomon Shepherd, please note the spelling on the estate papers is Shepherd. The document is in very very bad shape as of 10 years ago, but I have a faint copy. After the total is listed of items, the signers are John H(?) Maddox, James Givens(?), George Mecine(?) and ?? may be William Walker(??). ___ ___ held for Lewis County on Monday the twentith day of July 1812. The foregoing Inventory and appraisement of the estate of Solomon Shepherd; Desceased was returned and ___ to be certified & Recorded. signed Joseph Robb(??) There are 23 entries for people who gave as they term it contra. No. 13 is John H Maddux rect $.75 No. 1 & 2 Peter Arnold (The Arnold Heirs and Shepherd heirs later on 1827 have court settlement papers that list all Solomons Children and spouses for the women.)

Earlier in 1810 we have the following: There are court ordered settlements from Dec 3, 1810 between Solomon Shepherd, David Arnold, Peter Arnold, Richard Conway and Aaron Owens of Lewis County and George Stockton of Fleming Co. and the principle party is a James Marshall and wife Hester from the County of Frederrell state of Virgina 2. Later in 1823 we have legal documents from the Peter Arnold v. Solomon Shepherd Heirs dated July 7th 1823. This is basically a land suit in which it names the following heirs of a Solomon Shepherd(referred to as deceased) - the following are the names as taken from the document. “John Shepherd, Polly Bell late Polly Shepherd, Solomon Shepherd(son), Sarah Osborn late Sarah Shepherd, Nancy Pollett late Nancy Shepherd, Elizabeth Matney late Elizabeth Shepherd, Michael Shepherd, Joseph Shepherd, Samuel Shepherd, Rebekah Conway late Rebekah Shepherd, Elijah Shepherd and Ruth Shepherd”. Now this suit revolves around land located at the North Fork of Licking and adjoining Peter Arnolds. There are 3 documents describing the parties to the suit which all tie to a land deed between Solomon Shepherd and a Mr. Stockton from 1797. The suit is being represented by Solomon & Michael Shepherd sons of the deceased Elder Solomon Shepherd. I have a land deed copy between Solomon & George Stockton from 1797, then we have a court order settlement dated 1810 between James Marshall and Solomon Shepherd, Peter Arnold, David Arnold, Richard Conway, Aron Owens and George Stockton, and finally we have a court ordered settlement from 1823 between heirs of Solomon and Peter Arnold Sadly I do not have anything concrete to say who Solomon Shepherds siblings may have been, but I can say we know who his children are.

I guess I should send this to these sites in case anyone is or ever will research old Zorobable which my family calls Zorro for short, but I think his family called Bell, since his father was named Bell. You will notice I do not use books as "sources." Books are not sources. They are written based on sources or guesses. Documents are sources. Katheryn ----- Original Message ----- From: K.

Esther Tull 1773 in Rehobeth,Somerset Co., Md. She d. 1843 Pickaway Co., OH Children were all born in Maryland because Zorobable was in the 1790 census of Worchester Co., MD. I have them all listed on WorldConnect. I do have the wrong place of marriage there I think; it should be Md., not Ky. Many people say John H. Maddox was born in Ky., but he was not, according to this census and the ages of his own children (setting probable date of birth). 1784, probably while still living in Worchester Co., Md.

I've had disk problems which have resulting in the loss all my old email and addresses. :-( Before the loss, I was in contact with a lady who had a photo which was a possible connection to Hinton-Farris folks in our family that currently live in Fleming County, Ky. If you're the one with the picture, please contact me again. Regards, Rena Sue Rena Sue Shampton "Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." -Chinese proverb
