He was living in Maysville, KY at the time it was written. Do you have any idea of where this place can be? Aug 14, 1899 "Gap on the creek away made a clean sweep through my place. It brought rocks back down as large as waggon bodys and tons and tons of small rocks washed up five feet deep. The bridge below my house blocked up and the water went over the Pike three feet deep and destroyed all the fences and left my cornfield wide open to the Pike. The water where it went over the Pike must been 20 feet deep in the crick as the bridge is some 15 or 18 feet above the bed of the creek. Next and more interesting: If you know the rest of the story I would be interested in knowing it. Dec 9, 1899 Well, I suppose you received my wire, also a paper about the nigger Coleman it was the toughest sight that man could look at he was alive 30 minutes after the fire was started I thought he had been dead 15 minutes when all at once the logs that had been piled upon him began to move and up popped his head right in the middle of the fire he held his head up so lound and swayed back and froth that I began to think that fire would not kill him. As he held his head up through the burning logs you can imagine what a terrible sight it was his face was blistered and swollen to twice it's size. Mr. Lashbrook was the first man to lay hand on him and the man to apply the match. In an instant every officer was pinyoned from behind by powerful determined men. It was rite in front of the police cort door. Well, you may say this punishment was to severe but I will ask what would you have done if it had been your wife instead of Mr. Lashbrooks. yours, Everett Brightman

I cannot find out how he died, although I know he died at the age of 41 in 1898 in Nicholas County Kentucy. From 'FamilySearch.org" it says that he was married twice. Once to Sarah Alice Hughes b. 7/9/1860 and once to Martha Hughes (my gr. grandmother) b. 1872. Other information I have says his first wife was Sarah Wells. Does anyone have any infor on this? His parents were Simon Kenton (not the pioneer) and Hannah Bishop.

Ben, My John Cahill's wife was Eleanor Butts; her parents were William and Eleanor/Alender Butts. Here are a few tidbits I've found about William. I also have a copy of his will. The other surnames you have mentioned have not come up in my search. ........book by Pam Eagleson "In Search of an Ancestry: The Stone-Shearmire Family History" William went to war in Sept. 1779 and was not heard from again. Possibly killed by Indians. Wife Eleanor said he was "taken on the Diamond Island by the Indian Savages and has not been heard of since." Eugene Scheel's "Culpeper A Virginia County's History Through 1920" pg. 339 His son Samuel stated in an affidavit to claim bounty land that his father in 9-1779 entered into the Service of the State of VA, as a private in the Cpt. Mark Thomas Co. in Mjr. George Slaughters Corp. in the Western Country (now KY) until 1780 when in 6-1780 in Louisville, was taken prisoner by Indians. He was about 40-45 yrs. old when he enlisted. (this means he was born about 1735) Will and inventory found in Culpeper Co. Will Book C 1783-1791 p 81-83 and p 92-93 Pages given to me by Karen Hill-Walker show birth date about 1740 pages from: "National Society Sons of the American Revolution" ben hawkins wrote: >Amy, > >Do you happen to know John Cahill's wife's parents' surname? My gut feeling is that you are correct, John Cahill's parents may have been born in Ireland; and if he was, he probably emigrated from Ireland to Virginia with them when he was a small child. My early Virginia Irish ancestors included Butlers and Nickells(Nicholl, Nichol, Nickle, MacNiochaill, etc.) The Nickells, from Lower Bedoney, County Tyrone, settled in Augusta County, VA, which had a predominently Irish community . Also, Simon Kenton, the locally famous pioneer generally credited with founding the Mason County, Ky settlement was the son of Irish immigrants. Mary Ingles, also well-known in eastern Ky history, was Irish, too, her maiden name being Draper. Also, Fleming County, which was formed from part of Mason county, was founded by the half-brothers, George Stockton and John Fleming, whose parents were from Ireland. Anyway, the whole point of this is that a large number of the early Mason County (and! ! > its > offspring) settlers were first and second generation Irish-Americans, and this is sometimes reflected in local geographical names. > >Good hunting, > >Ben > > >
