There were several families of Donovans in the area. A prominent Catholic family in Maysville, who owned lots of downtown commercial property; a Protestant family from Ewing, Fleming Co, KY, many of whom are still around. One of their descendants owns a B-n-B in Flemingsburg; and the Protestant family from Sardis, now deceased, whose family included Dr. Herman Lee Donovan, who was president of the University of Kentucky, and for whom the Donovan Scholarship was named.

You would probably find most Giffords buried in the Shannon, Bethel, and Happy Ridge Methodist Church Yards in Mason County and various cemeteries in Robertson County than in the Maysville Cemetery. Most of them were from the Sardis/Mt Olivet area, not Maysville. Of course later Giffords were buried in Maysville & May's Lick Cemeteries, as well as in Ripley, Georgetown, And Manchester Cemeteries across the river in Ohio. You may also look in Poe Family Graveyards in Robertson and Mason Counties since the Giffords were related to them.

Old Jersey Ridge on the west side of new US 62/68 (Clyde Barbour Hwy.) is now called "Pickett's Lane". There is an old cemetery at the end dating back to at least the early 1840s (Many of those buried there died in a cholera epidemic in the 1840s). Hope this is helpful.

Yes. Nick & Nina, his parents, live in Augusta, 17 miles downriver from Maysville. You'll find them worshipping at St Patrick's in Maysville on Sundays. There are also lots of distant cousins in Mason Co, including Guilfoyle's/Guilfoile's. George's Clooney cousins, the children of Nick's half-siblings, live in and around nearby Clermont Co, OH, where George's grandfather, Andy Clooney, Jr. settled after he remarried following he and Frances' divorce (George's grandmother Frances was a Guilfoyle). Some of Andy's grandchildren are in the Louisville area.

I found a message on another site posted by Bertha M. Strode BAIRD in which she said she was a granddaughter of Bertha Lee WALLINGFORD and the daughter of Howard Wright STRODE. I would very much like to get in touch with her (or anyone else) who has information of the family of Bertha Lee WALLINGFORD and her husband Emanuel Wright STRODE. Bertha Lee WALLINGFORD (b. 14 Feb 1885, Lewis Co., KY / d. 05 Dec 1971, Fleming Co., KY) md. Emanuel Wright "Sherman" STRODE (b. 12 May 1882, Mason Co., KY / d. 15 Mar 1936, Fleming, KY) They were married 1905-1906. They were the parents of 9 children: Lucile M. STRODE (b. ca. 1906 - d. ?)

Della Marie STRODE (b. 2 Feb 1928 - d. 19 Jan 1929) I am especially interested in contacting anyone with information on this family, especially Bertha Lee WALLINGFORD's parents. I've been told her father was Kinnis WALLINGFORD, d. 1897. Further if anyone knows Bertha M. (STRODE) BAIRD, I would very much like to contact her re her early query.
