Thank You! The Lewis Green family settled in what became Harlan Co., KY. Those Waddell/Waddles are also familiar to me. Henry moved from Madison Co. to Pulaski Co. and the Peter Waddle family was in Pulaski as well. I know that there was an early Andrew Craig in what became Whitley Co. - I'll have to put checking into Lewis Craig on my "to do" list. Many Thanks, Kathy -----Original Message----- From: Virginia L.

A Calendar of the Warrants for Land in Kentucky, Granted for Service in the French & Indian War. The information contained in this book was excerpted from The Yearbook of the Society Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of KY, 1917. Original pagination remains unchanged since the index is keyed to those numbers. I have a copy of 1790 Census of KY. It has a map of KY Counties in 1792. Much different than Counties today. Beginning on left [western end] of KY.; lower end was called Jackson Purchase acquired in 1818. All across the bottom on KY was Lincoln Co. Center above Lincoln Co was Nelson Co. The right end [ Eastern ]was more populated in 1792.above right end of Nelson Co was Jefferson County. to the immediate right of Jefferson Co was Woodford Co, then Bourbon County, then Mason County - these were at top of state on eastern end of KY Below Woodford County was Mercer Co on west side and Fayette Co on eastern side. Below Fayette Co was Madison Co Between Madison Co and Mason Co was Bourbon County. I am not good with maps but if you pencil out what I have typed, it will make more sense...I hope. Seems like the acreage above was confined to Lincoln, Fayette and Jefferson Counties. They were situated in middle of State of KY from Lincoln at bottom, Fayette in middle on East side of center and Jefferson at top center of KY. In 1790 census of KY Hite's listed were; Abraham Hite Sr. Jefferson Co Isaac Hite, Jefferson Co Joseph Hite Jefferson Co Thomas Hite Lincoln Co James Hiter Fayette Co ?

Not my line but this family came from Fauquier Co VA to Mason Co KY in 1796. My earliest proven ancestor, William White Sr. had several children who left Fauquier Co VA about the same time to go to Mason Co KY. Jilson Hamrick was a VA soldier who enlisted in Loudoun Co VA in 1781. I am looking for proof that Mason Co KY land was given to VA soldiers about that time. I found this info and thought I would share it. Patrick Hamrick ca 1713- 1839 Patrick Hamrick Jr. son of Patrick and Margaret Hamrick, was born ca 1730, prob King George co VA, died Upson Co GA ca 1839. His first wife is unk. Second wife was Sarah [Haley] Foster, widow of Robert Foster. Jilson Hamrick 17656-1851 buried Green Castle, Putnam Co IN Married Sally Thomas Nov 9, 1785 Fauquier Co VA. Enlisted, Loudin-sic Co VA 1781. He moved from VA to Mason Co KY 1796. RW Pension Roll 1177. They married in 1785 Fauquier Co VA and then moved to Mason Co KY, then to Kenton Co KY. Enlisted Loudoun Co VA. 1781.

i agree the prices are still too high, but if some people can afford it ok -----Original Message----- From: swworrel <swworrel@cox.net> To: KYMASON-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:15:50 -0500 Subject: [KYMASON-L] Marriages Thanks for your comments, Doug. Obviously someone looking for information in a given geographic area isn't going to pay for data from 2,000 miles away from that area. But if you know the general area your ancestors came from, and live 2,000 miles away from local research facilities, I would have thought using my database would be very cost-effective. I can't do much about the common name problem, but I do give the number of mentions of all principal surnames in the database (free). For example, as you may have seen, there are 28 Gordons in Mason the marriage records. BTW, I haven't raised my prices in 3 years. ==== KYMASON Mailing List ==== Visit the Mason County Website! http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymason/mason.htm Be sure to bookmark it! ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

And a fine job it appears to be. Unfortunately I was doing my compilation at about the same time and originally made it available around the end of 2003. One of the problems with internet information, especially in genealogy, is that the source of the information is often not given. Thus a researcher is not able to find the abstracted information to verify and assess it himself. I presume your information is from the loose papers and books at the court house, which is fine, except that often papers, and even whole books, have disappeared over the years from Kentucky court houses. I've found that sometimes the missing information was captured in the early Mormon microfilms before it "walked off." (I don't recall that being an issue with Mason, but I'd have to check.) My sources are carefully spelled out and annotated on my web site and are reproduced below, FYI. Your compilation does not distinguish between bond and marriage dates, nor does it identify the minister when there is a marriage date; a minor issue, but most people would prefer to have the actual marriage date where available and even sometimes find the religious denomination of the minister that married their ancestors. Other advantages of my database are that all occurrences of a name can be searched in one operation for the entire period until 1850, and my Soundex search system will capture some variant spellings that otherwise might be missed, since clerks in the early days often spelled the names of their illiterate customers phonetically (using vowels that were often pretty much interchangeable). In no way do I mean to denigrate your work, particularly since I know how much time it took. And you cover a longer time span than I do, to 1892. But I think potential users should have all the facts when they decide whether or not to use my compilation in addition to yours. By the way, I don't know if you has a hand in it, but the reconfigured Mason GenWeb site is one of the best and most user-friendly I've seen for Kentucky. Mason County Sources The following KDLA microfilms [and county records] were used in compiling the Mason County database: Reel 281840 "Marriage Bonds." Filmed in Maysville, Kentucky, in July-August 1962 by the "Genealogical Society of Utah." Arranged by year (with rare errors) starting with 1789, and ending with 1805. [1795 is missing entirely from Researchers abstracts] This and the following three films contain images of the original bonds, consents, and some licenses and returns that were housed at the clerk's office as of April 2003 in looseleaf binders, arranged by year. The clerk's looseleaf collection of marriages extends to 1860. The papers are arranged by year, with an inaccurate bride/groom index preceding each year that was apparently done by the Limestone NSDAR chapter. Over the years, some of the inaccuracies have been corrected by hand. Reel 281841 "Marriage Bonds." Filmed in Maysville, Kentucky, in July-August 1962, by the "Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Utah." Arranged by year, (with rare errors), starting with 1806, and ending with 1819. [Many 1812 and most 1813 marriages are missing from Researchers abstracts.] Preprinted bonds begin in late 1816. Reel 28142 "Marriage Bonds." Filmed in Maysville, KY, in August 1962 by the "Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Utah." Arranged by year, starting with 1820, although a number of returns from later years precede the 1820 bonds. Returned to some handwritten bonds in 1821. (The first woman bondsman in appears in 1821.) Some returns began being noted on licenses in 1835. Ends with 1837. Reel 281843 "Marriage Bonds." Filmed in Maysville, KY, in August 1962 by the "Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Utah." Arranged by year, starting with 1838. Between 1842 & 1843 are a few documents from earlier--1796, 1797, 1822, etc. Ends with 1851. Reel 989240, "General Index to Marriages, Vol. 1, chronological order," was filmed in Maysville on 21 September 1978 by KDLA. It contains about 160 pages, including blank pages. First comes a marriage register of returns by ministers, transcribed into a book, starting with 1790. Alternate pages contain bride and groom names, followed by the minister and date. The first page of ministers and dates has no corresponding names. Some pages are out of order. For many early returns, no corresponding bonds were found, a somewhat unusual state of affairs. The early marriage register ends with about 1822. (This volume is bound, with pages in mylar sheets, in the records room in the clerk's office entitled "Index to Marriages 1" as of April 2003. The corresponding returns themselves are in a loose-leaf binder titled "Minister Returns from 1789 to 1836" and indexed in a separate loose-leaf binder titled "Index, Minister Returns from 1789 to 1836." The latter contains bride and groom names and date.) Then on reel 989240 comes the "General Index to Marriages, Vol. 1A, Chronological Order," which in fact is in alphabetical order--at least by first letter of the surname, and then by date, and covers marriages from 1800 through 1910, although there is a gap between the earliest and about 1820. It contains 336 large pages, including blanks. The "General Index" contains bride & groom names, the marriage date, and the name of the minister who performed the ceremony. One or two pages of "E's" appear to be missing [prior to internal page 84]. (This volume as in the clerk's office bound as "Index to Marriages 1A Mason County" as of April 2003.) Then on reel 989240 comes "Record of Marriages No. 2, Mason County, Ky," which begins with 1911 and extends to about 1933, in the same format, viz., groom's name, bride's name, date of marriage, and by whom married, in alphabetical order by first letter of last name, then chronological. At the end of this reel is "Record of Marriages No. 3, Mason County, KY," a typewritten list in the same format that covers marriages from about 1934 to 1949. At the very end, the list starts over again with "A's" from 1934. It was not determined if the records at the very end were additional records, or simply copies of the earlier ones. Reel 281849 from KDLA contains "Mason County, Ky. Marriage Bonds, Copied by Limestone Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution." Filmed in Maysville, KY, in August 1962 by the "Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Utah." Typewritten (some pages in faint type), in chronological order by year, then alphabetically by groom. There are no page numbers. It begins with a note that says "1789 ----- through 1805" [1805 scratched out and 1810 substituted in pencil]. There is no indication when the DAR list was prepared. A note on p.11 says "These are all the bonds [6 in number] for 1794, evidently there are many more, but these are all in the Court-house for that year." [There are 32 marriages in the Mason database for 1794.] Some years are duplicated in the film. Some consent witnesses were omitted in the compilation. Marriages without bonds are not recorded, i.e., those from returns only, with few exceptions. In later years, marriage dates are sometimes given. After the 1845 entries, there is a note that the 1846 through 1852 bonds are next, although the microfilm ends with the 1847 entries and says "to be continued." On each page of the DAR compilation, one marriage was checked in the database as a sample, to see if the DAR list contained any additional marriages, perhaps from papers later lost. No additional marriages were found. A slightly different list was found in the clerk's office in April 2003: it indexed the bond books in 2 vols (1789-1834 & 1835-60), but contains only the bride and groom names and the page number of each year's bond book (above. NOTE: African-American marriages for 1866-1976 were compiled and published in 2002 by Caroline R. Miller for the National Underground Railroad Museum in Maysville under the title "African-American Marriages Mason County, KY," vols. I & II.

(I made the mistake of opting for a long-term contract with my web site host, and by the time renewal came up, I'd changed my e-mail address and never got the notice..) Anyway, we're back. Kentucky Genealogy is a mostly fee-based web site, at www.sworrel.org <http://www.sworrel.org/> , that contains several complete, professionally abstracted Kentucky marriage databases with an automatic Soundex conversion search feature. Marriage databases are available for the following counties, from their formation up to 1850: Boone, Campbell, Clark, Kenton, and Mason. Also some marriages from ministers' returns for unknown counties are included. These are the most complete and authoritative abstracts of marriages from these counties ever done: they contain information not only from the bonds, licenses, and ministers' "returns," but from "consents" filed by parents or relatives, where available (see "FAQ"). In some cases, the databases contain over 1,000 more marriages than previous compilations. The civil records have been supplemented by some religious records where the latter contain new marriages for a given county. Unlike some other genealogy databases, you don't have to know the exact spelling of a name to retrieve it: an automatic Soundex conversion searches for common variants. (This is important because the county court clerks often spelled names phonetically.) The databases make the marriage records fully searchable with one click-for all occurrences of a name, not just the bride, groom, or bondsman. Free lists of the most common surnames in each database are on the site, along with free detailed information on the documentary sources used. Additional free records abstracts for Boone County are posted on the site as well. I am occasionally available for genealogy research commissions in the central and northern Kentucky area.
