Where is Cabin Creek? You'll probably get a dozen answers on this one. Cabin Creek is about 10 miles or so east of Maysville, Ky, very close in to the Ohio River. While I now live in the West, when I visit relatives on Cabin Creek I go east on Rte 10 out of Maysville about 10 miles to Plumville, then turn left on a black top road down a hill that leads toward the Cabin Creek road and Cabin Creek. The Post Office for Cabin Creek is now Vanceburg, Ky.

I am looking for information about Lucinda Dixon born in Lewis County Kentucky about 1857. Phyllis

Sorry, I don't. I have never seen reference to these names in any of my papers. However, I am getting a book entitled Dixon Clan: Scotland, Ireland and America from James H. Dixon. He wrote this in 1996. I would be happy to look up these names in the book when I receive (probably in a week or so). Dede

Hello Dede, I posted a while ago a note saying that I had an original marriage certificate for Emma Day and James McMillan, dated 1913, Hamilton Co., Oh. Witness were Alta Dixon, and Percy Dixon. Wondering if since you have Dixon relatives you know these people. Thanks Jan <>< _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello Sue, Not much activity on the Lewis Co. List so even though I am not an expert on Cabin Creek I will try to answer Cabin Creek(Cottageville) is just about right across the Ohio River from Manchester-on a map find Tollesboro and you are there. The Lewis Co.Historical Society might be able to help you with the connection. They are all just really nice people down there. Write to them at: Lewis Co. Historical Society P.O.

Exactly where in Lewis Co. is Cabin Creek? I'm trying to trace the connection between William M. Veirs, his son Edward Veirs and Robert Viers. William's daughter Anne married George Clark and settled in Lewis County. In the Revolutionary War records which list Robert Viers, there is a man in his company named George Clark. I am assuming this is the same George Clark. Since William M. Veirs, his son Edward, his daughter Anne, his son-in-law George Clark are all from Maryland, and Robert Viers is from Virginia, it would be of great help if I can find some kind of connection between the Viers of Virginia and the Veirs of Maryland. I am trying to find the exact location of William Veir's land and Robert Viers' land. Sue

Cabin Creek can also be found on Rt. 10 going towards Tollsboro and before you make the turn off (to the right) to Charters. There is a historical sign their by the side of the road and it is/was really a creek. My Dixon/Davis relatives lived in that area. Dede Ard

I would like to know if there are any Eubanks records in Lewis County, KY. My gg-father, Francis M. Eubanks was born around 1837 in Ky, but I don't know where or his parents names. Around 1870 he married Anna Elizabeth Paris and lived in Adams County, Ohio. They are listed in Adams County in the 1880 and 1900 census. Bob Eubanks

Tom: I've kept your post regarding Thomas Ruggles and Amelia Stricklett/Burris. When I first started doing my research in the early 1970's I had the same information. I received this information from Helen Rudy Wallingford Pryor. I still have her letter dated Jan 1973. She refers to Thomas' first wife as Amelia Stricklett, dau of Mathew and Ruth Scott Stricklett. She refers to his second wife as Elizabeth Lee the possible daughter of Barton Lee. Then later in the letter she mentions an article in the Sumner County Kansas paper which states: "The paternal grandparents of our subject were Thomas and Louisa (Bourse) Ruggles, both of whom were born in New England, the grandfather being of English ancestry." The article was about Moses and Eliza (Roberts) Ruggles. She further states that she is in possession of photocopies of the Bible records of Anna Eliza Ruggles, b. Mar 29 1845 and they show data of Thomas Ruggles and his family, also of Silas A. (Anderson) Ruggles and his family. I have never found anything that confirms the marriage of Thomas Ruggles to a Stricklett. I'm wondering where this info first came from. Phoebe Pantier Bush [email protected]

I am trying to connect my Thurston Thomas to a Thomas family. He was in the KY Militia War 1812. He m. Elizabeth Evans 1818 on Kaskaskia Island, Randolph Co,IL. He named his sons Plummer and Thurston. There are many Thomas families in Lewis Co,but I have not been able to connect him to any. There is a Plummer Thomas who had a son Thurston, but he was b. 1809 and would be too young. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mildred K
