My KY ancestors were part of the Catholic community in Marion County. My grandfather, Felix Edward Osborne, b. May 7, 1861, was the son of John Osborn (spelling varies), b. 1834 and Letitia Cooper, b. February 14, 1839. According to family history records, John's father died in a drowning accident when John was 5 or 6 years old. I am convinced John is the son of John Fielding Osborn (aka "Felix") and Eleanor Yates. Felix Osborn died April 14, 1840. John Fielding (Felix) was the son of Thomas Osborn. Letitia was the daughter of Augustine Cooper, b. June 4, 1805, and Eleanor Thompson, b. Aug. 8, 1807. I have extensive genealogical data for Eleanor, but have no record of Augustine's background except that he was born in PA. Felix Osborn and Eleanor Yates had three children before his death: John, Caroline Teresa Anna, and William. The 1850 census shows an Ellen Ozburn with children Caroline and William, the appropriate ages, living with John B. Haydon and William Haydon. Could this Ellen Ozburn be the widow of Felix? Did she ever remarry? I would like to hear from anyone with possible connections to these lines so that we might exchange information. Marjory Osborne Sutton

Richard, There were many Mattinglys who were in the roster of the 10th Kentucky Infantry. I did not find your George, but I thought you might be interested about the others. To see the roster, go to the Washington County Home page: http://bsd.pastracks.com/states/kentucky/washington/ Then, under the "Washington County Databses" click on "Civil War Rosters Union". When you get there bookmark the page. You can see all the Mattinglys by entering just that surname and searching. If there are others from Marion or Washington County that you are interested in, search the entire roster of the 10th. Happy Hunting, Mark Fields

Looking for information on George T. Mattingly who I believe was married to Nancy E. Harris Childress.

Dale, I have just started working my mothers side; the JARBOEs. In the little time spent working the line, I have had some exposure from where early Marion, Washington, & Nelson County, Ky settlers came from. It appears that in the late 1690s residents of St. Marys' County, MD started to migrate and settle those KY counties. Three Jarboe family were the first to go and later other Jarboes followed. ST. Mary's County was primarily had catholic settlements that was established after the colony of MD was established in 1634. I have lineage [grandparent] to the 1st Frenchman to settle in St. Marys; Lt. Col. John Jarboe. His ggrandson John Reed Jarboe, Jr. b 1765 in Md married a Mary Hayden. Where... not sure yet? Anyway, many catholic families made the trip to KY where they stayed for many years. Many catholic families in Marion county, started to migrate to another catholic settlement in SE Kansas know as Ossage Mission [now St. Paul]. That began bout 1850. Some of my lines Maguire, Bradshaw, and Jarboe were some of those. My grandfather came in 1907. Anyway, we find that are also Haydens that lived there as well. In ST.Paul 1947 Centennial publication, there were pictures of two Hayden nuns. So, there's a couple of clues, don't have no idea if those Hayden have lineage but, I'd thought pass this on to you. Of coarse everyone in St. Paul is related some how Randy Dunavan 502 E. Pirate Ave. Longview, Tx 75604-2428 ---------- > From: Dale G.

Hello there! Have you tried to get on with the St.Marys research group? I'm on with them and the is always reference to the Hayden's. It is a very active group and have always been great at assisting others!! Stan Westphal Cullowhee USA On Sat, 29 Aug 1998, Dale G.

To Whom It May Concern: We have traced our family history to Basil HAYDEN SR, leader of the 25 Catholic families who settled on Pottinger's Creek in 1785, but are unable to go further without additional details about his family. Specifically we need information about his mother and father, his brothers and sisters, and children. We got this far through records of "Big Willie" and "Little Willie" Hayden.

Trying to find information on William and Monica Johnston Bowling, who were in Washington Co, then presumably Marion Co after the new county lines were formed. Found his name in land deed index book in Washington Co, but no deed in the files. Have a daughter, Martha Mary baptized at St. Rose in 1834; a son James William was born 1823 and land deeded to him by his grandfather, Joseph Johnston. Joseph Johnston had a son, John, and a daughter, Elizabeth Bowles, who married Joseph Bowles in 1816. His will was probated in Washington Co. James William Bowling sold his land in 1845 to Elizabeth Doyle and moved to Daviess Co, IN. Joseph Johnston's will identifies other grandchildren (children of Monica and William) as: Joseph Laymon, Kitty Ann, and Elizabeth Bowling Can find no records of parents of William Bowling, but presume on other evidence he may be a son or grandson of John and Mary Green Bowling who moved to Washington Co from MD after 1785. This William Bowling was not the William Bowling (1809-2857) who was the son of Thomas Bowling (b. 1763) of Nelson Co who married Eleanor Julia Johnson, daughter of John Johnson, son of Leonard. Can anyone do a census look-up for 1830, 1840 and 1850? Many thanks! Shirley Platt

Hi Janet We have a Janet in our family her father was Raymond Durham and her mother is Geneva and they have many more children. I have a few pics that I got when my father passed away and I'll send what I have which isn't a whole lot. But that's Great Thanks Linda Janet I have tried to send you mail but it keeps coming back Vinjan@prodigy.net

Hello My name is Linda Joiner and my Family tree is loaded with Durhams. My Grandfather Fred Durham born somewhere in Kentucky was a member of the Mount Olive Church, Mount Olive, Kentucky he was a native of Middleburg Kentucky not sure of his birth but he died at 52 in Indianapolis he lived there for 35 years so that means he was about seventeen when he went to Indiana. He married Bertha L. Heady Durham she was born in 1902 January 18th some where in Kentucky as well and died april 3rd 1982 in Indiana. He had one sister that I know of Gladys Wright she married an Earl Wright. From the marriage of Fred and Bertha there were six children Melvin, Carl, Harold, Raymond, Betty & Lillian as far as I know most of them born in Indiana. Carl & Lillian & Raymond have past away and the rest I have tried to contact some of them but no one really responds and the one Uncle I talk to don't remember to much. But what I do know is that the Durhams we are related to are in Kentucky very wide spread. Before my Uncle Ray died he went to Kentucky and talked to alot of our relatives. Would really like to find out about my family. My Mother died as a result of a rare blood disorder and would like to find out how that is past on in the family. I would hope you could give me some direction to go or pass this on to others you run into. I was also told that there is a road named Durham but my Aunt couldn't recall where it might be and also a Durham Cemetary. She said that where ever they were that was where our family was from. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you My E-Mail address is LKJ200@aol.com Thank You Linda Joiner

I do not have the URL anymore, but it is easy to find using a search engine. _________________________________________ Dear List Members In re (HALBERTS in Bath, Ohio) My local postmaster advised me to send a letter to the postmaster in Bath, Ohio complaining about the worthless genealogy books published and sold by Halberts of Bath, Ohio. I have written one and am including it here for those who don't want to take the time to write one. You may use mine if you want. Print it and use it if you want. You must add your name and address at the bottom of the page. Please invest the time and the 32 cents for the stamp and hopefully we can put these leeches out of business once and for all. If that postmaster is deluged with complaints perhaps something will happen. You also have my permission to forward this Email to all of your surname lists and genealogy friends as a warning about the book AND a plea to write letters to the postmaster in Bath, Ohio. The Letter is attached. If you want to add to it, fine. As far as I know Halberts have been working out of Bath, Ohio for more than 30 years. I can't imagine the millions of dollars in profits made off the backs of honest genealogists in the USA (and Canada) in that vast amount of time.

I have a copy in my hands right now and I am telling you they are worthless to the genealogist and to the common person. There is no data in the book that you cannot find in a library or phone book in a few short minutes. These people have been operating out of Bath, Ohio for years and you know it. I'll bet you have had hundreds (perhaps thousands) of complaints about Halberts and this person named Leroy C. Boyd in the past. I'll bet Leroy Boyd does not even exist. These people have been leeching money from unsuspecting family oriented roots seeking people for years, even decades and it is time to stop them. Do you have any connection with this company (Halberts) or with Leroy C. Boyd with address of: 3687 Ira Road, Bath, Ohio? I appreciate your honesty.
