A sarah phillips in Amherst Willbook, who died in 1819 may be Jacob's mother. Only property inventory is in willbook, and Jacob Phillips and Thomas Coleman (his father in law) were administrators.

My wife Lafayette "Lafe' Mahaffey lost his parents at Cherry Fork,w Adams Co ,Oh in the early 1860's and lived with the Platters near where Peebles devoloped after the RR went thru. He would marry Nancy Walker,and live south of Plum Run gravel company towards Peach Mt.
It seems that maybe Clement Rigg had a son and James W could have been Clement's grandson.Do you have a list of Clement's children other than James? Do you have any idea of Clement's wife? Thanks for replying. Paula

I am not sure if this is even a close idea for your Catherene Davis but I have a John Davis and Katy Davis mentioned in Evans and Stivers History of Adams County. I know their father was Thomas Davis who was living in Mason County, Ky as I have John born their about 1790-1793. REMINISCENCES:Rescue of John and Katy Davis from the Indians. "Just above old Marble Furnace was once the site of an Indian village, and here after the whites had settled in this vicinity and along Ohio Brush Creek, Indian families would come and camp to hunt and fish. While Thomas Davis, who resided on Brush Creek just above the Fristoe bridge, was away from home, an Indian squaw stole John and Katy Davis, two of his small children, and carried them to the camp on East Fork. The mother of the children gave the alarm, the squaw was followed to the camp, and the children were rescued." I have nothing on Katy and all of John descendants.Katy could be your Catherene as where Thomas settled in Adams COunty was very close to Mason County, Ky. In Adams County are many Evans but I have none of your names in my database. My Evans tie ty to the Platter part of mmy family. I do have extensive info on Platter also. I know Thomas Davis is buried in Locust Grove Cemetary but stone is unreadable except for Thomas Davis. I have lots of Davis buried in same cemetary. Some of my Platter and Davis later moved to Johnson County, Mo. I have looked for a long time to find father of Thomas or any info on Katy with no luck. I find a Thomas Davis who married Mary Collins in Mason County, Ky in 1795 but nothing on Mary Collins after that. I know John ( Thomas son) named his first daughter Mary. OK enough just thought would throw this out to see if could learn anything new and see if Brenda or Jerry anyone else who can give any ideas. Sorry for the length. Thanks Ray Jennings
The B would be for Bondsman. Sometimes you'll also see and F for father. Carol
Can anyone answer a question for me pertaining to an entry in the following book and the entry: Marriage Records of Mason County,. Volume IV, 1834 - 1844 Name: Wm. Ballou Spouse: Susan Watson <B> Marriage Date: 15 Oct. 1838 Wesley Meenach, B The question pertains to the letter "B" after the name of Wesley Meenach. What does the letter "B' indicate? I thought it might be for bondsman or brother. Some other entries that I have observed are the letters W. F. & M. W for Witness; F for father, M for mother????? Don Meenach _dlmeenach@aol.com_ (mailto:dlmeenach@aol.com)
Family names: Rigg, Henderson, Tarr, Garrard Gill, Wood I am still looking for anyone who has information concerning the Rigg family of Mason Co. My grandfather, James W Rigg, was born there in 1824. Research leads that Clement Rigg was his father, but that is not sourced. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Paula Avery

Jemima b VA md George Greene Waddell on 10 Jan 1791, Fauquier Co VA. Was in Mason Co KY before 1800. Later moved but I am unsure to which state.

Wm. was Rev War soldier [S1735 VA], in his RW pension application, he stated after the war, he relocated for about 30 years to Rowan Co NC, [ section that became Stokes Co], then moved in time to appear first time on 1820 Lincoln Co TN census. He only mentioned his brother, John, in pension application. 4. Elizabeth b ca 1763 VA, md 28 Feb 1786 James Bailey [ different James Bailey than above one] in Fauq. Co VA. They went to Mason Co KY bef 1800. 5. Nancy Ann b ca 1764 VA md 31 Oct. 1786 William Waddell Sr. in Fauquier Co VA. They moved to Mason Co KY bef 1800. 6. Hannah b ca 1765 Fauq.

She and William White had no children together but he became guardian of James Bailey and Ann's children who were still minors when their father died. Children were; Nannie, William who died young, Carr and Thomas Bailey. I have a copy of William White Sr.'s will that names all of above children. I have copies of most of the marriage bonds of above children. I have copies made up by attorney's in Mason Co KY authorizing George Roach to handle their share of their father's will as they were all out of state in 1800 - except Sarah Roach, William White Jr. and maybe Carr White. I would love to locate other descendants of my family. .·:*¨¨*:·.~* Ginny *~.·:*¨¨*:·. nee White.
