Dear Marjorie: The following Stouts are listed on a petition of "Limestone settlers" from 1787: Jonathan Stout, Obadiah Stout Jr., Josiah Stout and Thomas Stout. Bill P.S. The following are earlier e-mails regarding Hosea Stout: 1. Dear Marjorie, Today I looked at the Mason County tax records for the years 1797 - 1800. There is no 1798 on the LDS film. For 1797 I found Hosea Stout with 110 acres of land on the N. Fork in what seems to read "Anthy Thornton" survey/patent. For 1799 I found a Zebulon Stout and a David Stout and a Jonathan (last name not legible but probably Stout). Jonathan had 100 acres on the North Fork in what seemed to be the William May survey/patent. Zebulon, David and Jonathan each had 2 horses. For 1800 I found Zebulon, Jonathan, Abraham and David Stout. Only Abraham was taxed on land; he had 100 acres on Lee's Creek in Wm. May's survey/patent. Zebulon had 2 horses; Jonathan 3; Abraham 4 and David 2. None of these men had slaves. None had any white males under 16 in their household. There is a Lee's Creek that empties into the North Fork from the south [tax district 3]. I think there is another Lee's Creek that empties into the Ohio [tax district 1]. Perhaps someone knows which Lee's Creek the William May survey is near. As I have said in two other e-mails today, the tax lists are hard to read in some cases and often are hard to interpret. You may want to order the film yourself and check what I found and check other years. 2. Marjorie Devore wrote: Thanks so much! One more cog to prove he was in Mason County and this is the first I have had that he had land! Is there a record there of land sold in that time period? He sold his Tenn. land then, but then where? any suggestions? 3. The Mason County deed books are on film at LDS family history centers; and major public libraries have a book that summarizes the early deeds. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Ben, Sorry to horn in. I noticed the reference to Strode. I am a great grand daughter of Sarepta Strode Wallingford. A cousin out west is doing some genealogy on the Wallingfords and asked if I knew where she, Sarepta Strode Wallingford, was buried. I do not. Do you? I have never lived in KY but have visited. Any help will be appreciated.

I have another question for the mailing list. I have a copy of some of the pages of the book, Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky and on pages 224, 225, it speaks of the Fields family and lists an "Elihu N.

Leander Calloway Fields of Carter Co. and wife Maggie Browning and family, James M. Fields (born in TN) of Carter Co. and wife, and other Fields' families. My question, is Daniel Boone his real name or is this Elihu possibly just nicknamed Daniel Boone? Thanks! Donna in MT

Wm. J. Fields, from Olive Hill, Carter County was Congressman from KY's old 9th District from 1911 to 1923, and Governor of the Commonwealth from 1923 to 1927. Fields is a very common name in northeastern Kentucky even today, especially in Boyd County. My cousin, Tom Fields, from Maysville, retired a few years ago as chief of the Sarasota, FL Fire Department. Interesting that Carter County was covered in your book since it's in the far NORTHeastern corner of KY. I have lots of relatives and friends in the Fields clan, so I shall see if any are familiar with Elihu "Daniel Boone" Fields, and will let you know, directly. That's all the info I have.

Dear Donna : Mason County was formed from part of Bourbon County, and like Bourbon County, is considered an "Original Kentucky County", i.e. it was formed before Kentucky became a state in 1792. Washington was Mason County's original county seat, and Kentucky's first post office (there is some dispute about this). In the 1840s, the county seat was moved to Maysville, and the original courthouse in Washington was destroyed by fire some years later.

Donna, There was a Hugh SIDWELL listed in the 1800 Census of Kentucky in Bourbon Co, Ky. I didn't find him in the 1790 Kentucky census. There is also a H. SIDWELL in Cecil Co, MD in 1800, and Hugh SIDWELL in Chester Co, PA in 1790. Its possible these listings may be for the Hugh SIDELL you're looking for, or someone related to him. Many of our ancestors in Mason and surrounding Kentucky counties came from these areas in Maryland and Pennsylvania. For the SIDELL spelling, I found two John SIDELLs in New York in the 1790 census, and a John SIDELL and a Magdalen SIDELL in New York in the 1800 census. I'm not a SIDELL researcher, so I don't have any information on these lines.

I have been interested in the Dixon name in Mason Co., as a couple of my ancestors there had Dixon as a middle name, probably indicating a surname passed down from a female line that was considered important enough to pass on. The first was Richard Dixon Loyd, who married Clary/Clara/Clarissa Berry in about 1790 in Mason Co. The name was later passed on to my g-grandfather, Lewix Dixon Gordon, born in the late 1830s. Anyone have any information in particular about Richard Dixon Loyd (he usually just went by the name "Dixon Loyd")?

Humphrey Bell is on the 1800 tax list for district 2, Mason County. He had 100 acres on the waters of Cabin Creek. Also on Cabin Creek, in the Lee & Gaines survey, is the Presbyterian minister Richard McNemar with 192 acres, a horse or mule and three cattle. Bell had no horse or mule but did have three cattle. Other people with land in the Lee & Gaines survey are David Hill, Abraham Hillis jun., John Knox, Samuel Pippes, Robert Robb, Joseph Swearingen, Augustus Truver and John Taylor. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I do not know who Humphrey Bell was, but I do know the following about Grizelda (Grizzy) Ann Bell if it all helps. She was born in 1771 in Maryland and was of Scottish descent. She had married William Dixson in Virginia, most likely the northern section of Frederick County which is now West Virginia by 1789 before they set out for the now Maysville area of KY. William and she later crossed the Ohio River, settling in what is now Brown County, Ohio where she died in 1825 at the age of 54. Does any of this sound familiar?

Ben, Thank you for your information. Most likely if there were any Dixsons, they one way or another became Dixons as mine did by the middle of the 1800's. You wouldn't happen to know any off hand that I might be able to e-mail to see if any there were any connection, would you?
