Riley, April 1, 1816, in Lewis County, Kentucky. I'll be happy to share information on this family. Anna (Lykins) Welch >> Thank you for offering to help us get this straight at last. There have been many false starts and names given as the maiden name for Margaret (Martha) Cox. Gus Doyle first gave me that information some time ago, but I was never sure with Gus as his names and stories kept changing from time to time. If you have time to reply to Mark, please send me a copy of the message. STRICKLETT is my wife's maiden name so that's why I'm pursuing this line. My line is POWELL, IRELAND, GOCHENOUER . Thanks again Anna Tom Powell in New Hampshire
