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.
