Was the Fox Military Survey in Mason Co, KY or Adams Co, OH? Both counties abut the Ohio River, and much of Adams Co was in the Virginia Military District when Ohio was a part of the old Northwest Territory.

I was hoping Veazey Price, born about 1784 in MD and Winniford Marshall, born abt 1789 in VA were my GGrandmother's parents. She was Elizabeth Ann Price born in MO abt 1829 who listed her father born in MD and her mother in VA but looking at wills seems to not mention her. She married William Haley who was born in Shelby KY. Any clues as to her parentage are appreciated.

Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.mason/357.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: William Harrison Wallingford's mother was Prudence Wallingford. This is proved by the will of Prudence's father in 1850 where Harrison states that Prudence was his mother. He was claiming an inheritance since Prudence was deceased and the money went to the children. Prudence married a Leban Ellis when Harrison was a young boy. She moved to Illinois and some of her children by that marriage moved to Iowa. The James you refer to born in 1805 would have been 15 years old when Harrison was born. Do you know the relation between Prudence Wallingford and James Wallingford. Leban Ellis was the first marriage for Prudence. A letter that I have states that Harrison's father died shortly after his birth.

True enough. My Uncle Bill Brierly's family came from across the county line in Robertson Co. But he and my Aunt Allene are buried at Shannon. Since Bill's death, my Uncle Jack Craycraft and Grandpa Craycraft were also buried there, but none of my family was buried there previously (our Craycrafts were from Nicholas and Bath Counties), so I assumed that the Brierlys were buried at Shannon. Kind of confusing, too, because there are lots of Cracrafts buried at Shannon (but no "y" in their name). --- Hdlee9936@aol.com wrote: > I don't see any Brierlys in the old section of > Shannon Cemetery.

I am researching William SPARKS, b. 1816 in Lewis/Mason Co. Would like to find proof of his marriage to someone with the first name of Sidney, Sianna, or Sinai (all three appeared on different census records). I am also researching James William PERRY, b. abt 1828 Mason Co. and married Jul/Aug 1858 to Malinda Ann SPARKS (daughter of above William). Have not been able to find his parents or siblings. Death certificate of James Perry: The part filled out by A. Perry showed dob as june 6, 1828. Father name was William and father's place of birth was Ky. This contradicts the 1880 census shows fathers place of birth as Va. A. Perry did not know mothers maiden name nor where she was born. Attending phy. showed date of death as July 7, 1918. Cause of death was senility and cancer contributing. Burried July 8, 1918 in OK. Would love to connect with anyone researching or having information on these peeps of mine. Olive Lee

Yes,Mason Co.Ky In 1779,the Va government finially passed a Va Land law rewarding "Corn right improvers" with a free 400 acres at their corn right,and,if vacant, an improver could buy 1000 acres adjoining. At that time,Va also claimed SW Pa-WV pan-handle,and they sent 1 team of Va land commisioners there,where many were so rewarded,but almost no one got the 1000 acres adjoining. In Ky,it was much more common to buy that adjoining 1000 acres. A CORNRIGHT WAS 1 ACRE OF CORN,AND THE ERECTION OF A LOG Cabin. In fact,sometimes the cabin was 4 trees felled to criss-sross. My colony seized ,by muscle,from one Campbell's tennet,in 1773,at Weirton,WV. Corn right improvements were made on Lawrence Creek by 1775-76. Simon Kenton'sfort was the earliest on Lawrence Creek,followed by Washington,Ky of Rev Wm Wood,and surveyor Arthur Fox. The winter of 1779-1780 was a very bad one,with the Ohio River freezing over,haltig migration by boat. The arrivial of the Va land commisioners at a fort strained the ability of the fort to feed and house claimiants. The colonies were also gripped by run-away war time inflation just then. Thus,you hear of huge prices in inflated money,beig paid for a bushel of corn that winter-spring. To lessen the strain,THE Va land commisioners allowed 1 man to represent many. "

Name: Williams, Thomas County: Fayette Type #1: Settlement Acreage #1: 400 Location/WaterCourse: right fork of Lawrence Creek Authorized: OK 0270.0 Entered February 19, 1780. Not included in Library of Virginia microfilm. I found this information on the "Kentucky Land" site. Am I right to think that this area of Fayette Co. is now Mason Co., KY? I looked up Lawrence Creek, and only found a reference in Mason Co. Does anyone know if there is any place to find more information on this? Thanks, Donna

I don't see any Brierlys in the old section of Shannon Cemetery. I have a list of the old part. You might try The Cemetery at Sardis. Also be aware there is a Brierley Street in Mt. Olivet in Robertson County. Something to think about. Bill Wheaton from Robertson county might have something on Roberston County Cemeteries.Keep in mind that when Robertson County was formed it took part of Mason county next to Sardis. _wwheaton@kih.net_ (mailto:wwheaton@kih.net)

B is for bondsman F is for father W is for witness M could also be for minister, but that is often MG ~ minister of the gospel. JP is justice of the peace I don't know that I have even seen M for mother, but I assume if the person identified was female it certainly could. Often, however, when a father died leaving minor children, a guardian would be appointed for them until they reached majority, even if they had a mother living. Thus it was often the guardian who gave permission for younger girls to marry. However, I have also seen the mother give such permission. Carol
