I'm looking for Plummers in the Lewis County environs, but I'm looking two or three generations before Christine. Do you have any information on Syntha Ann Plummer (b. 1806) or her parents, Abraham Plummer and Nancy Burriss? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I knew I had seen the name Plummer on some other record related to Andrew KOCH and Cristina PLUMMER. On the marriage record of Andrew's daughter, Sarah Sally COOK and Samuel BOYD, the witnesses were Alfred HARRISON and Lewis PLUMMER. Thanks again for your help. Janet Estep

Hi, Roxann, Andrew and Cristina are listed on the 1870 Lewis Co. census in the Elk Fork District: Andrew Koch, age 29 Farmer, $750, born in Germany Cristina J. Koch, age 18 Keeping house, born in Kentucky Arpunta (Spelling???), age 7 months, born in Kentucky In 1880: Andrew Cook, age 45 or 46 (I believe this is not the correct age), Farmer, Born in Hamburg, Germany Minnie Cook, age 11, daughter, born in KY Sallie Cook, age 8, daughter, born in KY Charles Cook, age 6, son, born in KY Mary Cook, age 70, Mother, born in Germany This leads me to believe that Cristina died between 1874 and 1880, and Andrew's mother came to live with him to take care of the children. Where did you find the marriage record? This is obviously the Andrew and Cristina I'm looking for. I believe I have Andrew's passenger record from 1863 from Bremen to US, but I haven't located a naturalization record yet that would prove it's him. I'm working on that. Are you related to Andrew and Cristina? Thanks so much. Janet Estep >>> Donshafer31@aol.com 10/25/01 08:31PM >>> Janet - I found a Lewis County marriage record for Andrew Kock and Christine J. Plummer for 17 Dec 1868. From what I can determine, I believe Christine was the daughter of James Lewis and Harriet (Riley) Plummer.

Hello, I'm researching Andrew A. KOCH or COOK (the Americanized spelling), who was on the 1880 and 1870 Lewis Co., KY census. I'm specifically looking for these records: Death of Andrew Cook (after 1880) Death of Cristina Cook (between 1874 and 1880) Death of Mary Cook or Koch (after 1880) Marriage of Andrew KOCH and Cristina J. ______ (1868-1869) I've contacted Lewis Co. Clerk who had no records; I wrote to Vital Statistics who has no records available for these time periods. What do researchers do in Kentucky about locating death records? And marriage records? Thanks. Janet Estep

I am seeking information on Nathan MORGAN who lived in Mason and Greenup Counties and died in WI. He was married in Boyd county, KY and stated in his marriage certificate that he was born in NC. I find in 1840 a Nathan Morgan, SR aged 83 in Rowan Cnty, NC. Some of his relatives were born in OH and lived along the OH river. Can anyone help me to determine if Nathan Morgan of KY, NC and WI is related to Nathan, SR of NC and Rowan Cnty, NC? Derald Morgan

Dear Lin, Thanks so much for your reply. I was quite sure that Rachael must have died as a young mother and wife, but had no documentation. I appreciate your help. Carol

Thank you very much for your reply. Karen

Hi, Sorry, I do not have any information on this family. I am amazed at lack of Aills information. They seemed to have been in leadership positions, owned a lot of property, yet nothing is available on a personal level. My Sarah Ann Aills married James McCorkle in Lewis County, KY, 1838. He was from Lawrence County, OH. Their first three children were born in OH. Then the family settled in Cabell County, VA, that later became W.Va. Please add my name to your address book and if we find information we can share. Thank you for your reply. Karen Smith

Dear Lin and Karen, In researching my Coffrin line, I found Rachael Aills who married Constantine Coffrin 13 Dec 1852 in Scioto Co., Ohio. (Ancestry.com database: Ohio Marriages, 1803-1900 lists her surname as "Ellis," apparently a transcription error.) Their son, Plummer Coffrin, was born 3 Dec 1853 in Lewis Co. KY. (From "Shakin' & Diggin', Sep. 1997.) Constantine married Elizabeth Pell on 17 May 1855 in Lewis Co. KY, so Rachael may have died between 1853 and 1855. I have no other record of the baby, Plummer, so he may have died, too. This is all the information I have about Rachael Aills Coffrin. Do you have any other information about her? Carol Cox

Hi, I am still researching my elusive AILLS family. I have a note that states, there was an Aills Christian Church in Vanceburg, Lewis County, KY and that valley was full of Aills. If this is true why can't I find them?? Can someone enlighten me? Is this church still there? Is there history on the Lewis County churches? Will someone also give me the email address for the newspaper there? Thanks so much. Karen Smith

We had,as I remember,Nathan Morgan's Jr-Sr and Enoch Morgan a few miles from the Ohio River,here in s Clermont Co,Oh. Say,1805,for 1814,son Enoch Morgan bought my Capt-Lt-Rev-JP George Brown big,or pulpit Bible at his estate sale. Couple ladies told me about them 20 years ago. Had a circut migration that started at the Welsh Tract of Pecander Hundred,n Del-Cecil Co Md. iron mining Welsh colony of 1710. But you don't show Welsh 1st names. Maybe even Jacob and Valentine might be Germanic. Thomas Shelton,MARRYING JP ,of Aberdeen,Ohio's marriages,in most part,were put in the Mason Co Historical Soc library,Sutton St, Maysville,by Pat Donaldson Mills. JP Massie Beasley's marriages ,OF Aberdeen,Oh are said to be lost,except those recorded in their home county by the young couple. 1863 was when WV was cut from Va.

His pension application indicates that he was born in Covington, KY. Since he enlisted at Covington, KY it could well be that the answer on the pension application is in error. John Valentine Morgan served in the Civil War with the Union Forces in Company I 55th Regiment of the Kentucky Mounted Infantry he enrolled as a Private on the 23rd day of February 1865. His combined service record shows that he had previously served in Company H, 10th Regiment of the Kentucky Cavalry and was discharged on April 20, 1863. He served in the Kentucky Mounted Infantry Volunteers under Capt. Alexander W. (Lauwill) and was honorably discharged on the 19th of September 1865 at Louisville, KY. He was 5'10'' with Brown Hair and Blue eyes. He was treated in the Hospital in Lexington, Ky June 7th and 8th, 1865 and was listed as malingering and deserted on June 8, 1865. He was reported as a deserter to the Pro. Mar. on June 10th at Lexington, KY. He states in one part of his application that he resided in Mason Cnty, Ky. from the time of his discharge to July 1877 and since in Adams Cnty, Ohio. In another part of his file he states that he resided from 1871-76 in Lewis Cnty, KY. He states that his occupation is that of a farmer. His address on the 26th of June 1897 is Blue Creek, Adams Cnty., Ohio and that he lives on Johnson's Run. On January 31, 1898 he indicated that he is married to Louisa Sartain that they were married on September 18th 1864 in Aberdeen, Brown, Ohio and that the record of marriage is recorded at Georgetown, Brown Cnty, Ohio. He further lists his children and their birthdates. On March 20, 1915 he answers Pension questions indicating that he enlisted at Maysville, KY and that Thomas Shelton at Aberdeen, Ohio married him and Louisa Sartain. His wife and he are living together and he again lists children and dates of birth He answers pension question that his parents were John and Mary Morgan and that he was an only child. In various answers to census and pension documents he lists his parents birthplaces as VA, KY and OH. In the 1860 census John V. Morgan is found living with Mary A. Morgan a woman of the age of 65 who is likely his grandmother. He is 14 in this census and was born in VA. Mary A. Morgan was born in VA. Also with the family is John C. Morgan, born VA, and his wife Francis, that are of the age that they could be John V. Morgan's cousins or uncle. In 1850 another males by the name of Nathan, born VA, and David P. born VA, is also living along with Mary A. Morgan and others. These men along with John V. Morgan served in the same KY cavalry unit in the Civil War futher giving credibility to the fact that they are related. In Civil War pension materials David P. Morgan states that he is the brother of John C. Morgan. This clearly links the two of them and likely to Nathan since they all lived together with Mary A. Morgan in 1850 but leaves the exact link to John V. open. Notes: 1. Nathan Morgan's Widows pension file contains a marriage license copy wherein it is stated that the marriage took place in Boyd Cnty, KY at the home of Jacob Morgan and was witnessed by Jacob Morgan, Andrew Morgan and Jane Mann. 2. Nathan Morgan's Widows pension file contains an affidavit of 3/10/1891 that is signed by Jacob Morgan that states that he lived within a mile of Nathan and Rachel (first wife) when she died and that this is the same Nathan that served in the Civil War and married Jane Cooley. This Jacob Morgan is aged 68 and resides in Ironton, Lawrence Cnty, OH at this date. 3. Jacob Morgan is the son of Mary Morgan the women that ties all these people together for nearly 40 years. Jacob has proven siblings of Lovina and Elizabeth if Mary is the mother of Nathan, John C. and David P. then we have 5 children with others likely. Needed Information 1.

I have been searching for 30 years for a clue to this family. Please look at these names and what I know of them and please let me know if you have any information. Mary A. MORGAN- b abt 1795-98 in WV d. after 1880. John Valentine MORGAN is living with Mary A. Morgan in 1860 in Mason Cnty, KY. Mary A. MORGAN has living with her a number of people all apparently related but we are not certain of how. We know that Jacob, Lovina and Elizabeth are her children as shown in the following details. John C. and David P. MORGAN are brothers as determined by CW papers. Nathan, Cassey/Cassandroe/Cassa, Mary E., Virginia and John Valentine are as yet unknown. David P. MORGAN-Living with Mary A. MORGAN in 1850 and 1860 in Mason Cnty, KY. Went to CW with John Valentine MORGAN and served in the same unit. Lived and died in Boyd Cnty, KY after 1870 and in Carter Cnty, KY in 1890. Buried with wife Martha WELLS MORGAN in Ashland Cemetery. John C. MORGAN-Living with Mary A. Morgan in 1850 Mason Cnty, KY census and then with Mary A. Morgan and his wife Francis BENNET in the 1860 census of Mason Cnty, KY. Lived in Greenup Cnty, KY and died in Ironton, Lawrence Cnty, OH. Went to CW with John Valentine Morgan and served in the same unit. . John C. MORGAN's pension application is signed by Jacob MORGAN and James T. LONG August 28, 1890. David P. MORGAN gives an affidavit and states that he is John C. MORGAN's brother. Nathan MORGAN lived with Mary A. Morgan in 1850 was married and living in Mason Cnty, KY in 1860 with his wife Rachel MILLER MORGAN and children. Later lived in Boyd Cnty, KY and after his first wife's death married Jane COOLEY of that Cnty. Left Boyd Cnty, KY and went to MN and then lived and died in WI. Served in CW at the same time as John V. MORGAN in another unit. Jane COOLEY- Second wife of Nathan. Married in Boyd Cnty at the home of Jacob MORGAN. Jacob MORGAN signs the affidavit that she is the second wife of Nathan and that he saw his first wife, Rachel MILLER buried. Jacob MORGAN-Nathan and Jane COOLEY were married in Jacob's home. In the 1880 Gallia Cnty, OH census Mary A. MORGAN is living with Jacob and his wife Sidney and son Harmon and she is shown as his mother. Jacob served in the CW in a WV unit and mustered out at Ceredo, WV. Andrew MORGAN- Andrew is a witness at Nathan's marriage to Jane at Jacob MORGAN's home in Boyd Cnty, KY. Jane MANN- Jane is a witness at Nathan MORGAN's marriage in Jacob's home. John Valentine MORGAN's daughter states in a letter that John had a sister Jane Jemima. This may be the Jane? Lovina MORGAN- lived with Mary A. Morgan in Mason Cnty, KY per the 1850 and 1860 Census. In 1880 she is living with Jacob MORGAN above in Gallia Cnty, OH and she is Jacob's sister. Elizabeth MORGAN- married Thomas Casebolt in Mason Cnty, Ky. Elizabeth died and Thomas left the Casebolt children to live with Mary A. MORGAN in Mason Cnty, KY in 1860. Mary E. CASEBOLT- one of the CASEBOLT children left to live with Mary A. MORGAN married in 1870 James T. LONG in Gallipolis, Gallia Cnty, OH. James Thomas LONG- found with Mary E. in Cario, IL in 1880 and later in 1900 in Ironton, OH with Jacob MORGAN an uncle living with them. This is Mary E. Casebolt's uncle her mother's brother so therefore Elizabeth MORGAN is a sister to Jacob MORGAN. Cassie MORGAN- A Casey MORGAN is living with Mary A. MORGAN in Mason Cnty, KY and in the 1860 Census is listed as Cassandre MORGAN. A Cassie MORGAN marries a Francis M. LONG in Gallia Cnty, OH in the same month as Mary E. CASEBOLT marries James T. LONG and their marriage certificates are together as they were married by JP Martindale 3 weeks apart. Odds are this is Casey/Cassandre/Cassie MORGAN the same person. I find a Cassa Long living with Francis M Long in Gallia Cnty, OH in the 1880 Census. John MORGAN- signed the pension application of David P. MORGAN May 7, 1883 in Ironton, OH John W. Morgan- signed the pension application of Jacob MORGAN August 28, 1890 in Ironton, OH with James T. LONG. Possibly John MORGAN and John W. MORGAN are one and the same. Thank you, John Morgan
