Can anyone tell me if there are any "Pepper" or "Holton" names in the church records? Thanks!

There used to be quite a few Eubanks and Eubankses in Maysville, but I don't know if any are around any more. I attended the old First District Elementary School in Maysville with Andy Eubanks, who, tragically, drowned in the Ohio River when he was about 12, back about 1970. I don't know what happened to his family afterward. Hdlee9936@aol.com wrote:Bob Eubanks: There were Hughbanks who lived at Foster in Bracken County. It was sometimes spelled Eubanks.

There are quite a few Andersons in Mason County, and quite likely some in the Christian Church. There are Christian Churches in and near Dover : Dover Christian, Lawrence Creek Christian, etc. Should I find anything, I shall post it. C George <bearsrme181@hotmail.com> wrote:In the book, "History of the Christian Church in Maysville, KY", is there any mention of Andersons? I notice the author is Gayle Anderson Braden. I am related to both the Osbornes (Daniel W. is my ggggrandfather) and the Andersons. I am looking specifically for information on Peter S. Anderson, born (in VA?) in 1803 and died in Mason County in 1888. He is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery in Dover. His son Lewis married Mary Eliza Osborne, daughter of Thomas Collier Osborne. They eventually moved their family to West Virginia. Although Peter Anderson was considered a "prominent citizen" of Mason County, I am having difficult tracing his family. Perhaps church records would help. I believe they were members of one of the Christian Churches. In West Virginia, they attended the Disciples of Christ church. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Don't know about Peppers, but there are certainly Holtons. You might check the Germantown Christian Church (not affiliated with the Disciples of Christ) for Peppers. I recall seeing the Pepper name on a tombstone or tombstones in the Germantown Christian Church Cemetery. The Church and the cemetery are just across the Mason County line in Bracken County. Germantown is in both counties, straddling the line. The zip code is 41044. JAPCAPHOTSTUFF@aol.com wrote:Can anyone tell me if there are any "Pepper" or "Holton" names in the church records?

There are still Hickmans in Mason County. Dale Hickman teaches adult literacy for the Maysville Community & Technical College. His Dad, Gene Hickman, is retired from the Ledger-Independent newspaper, and I went to school with his sisters, Donna and Jennifer. I don't know if any of the Hickmans were members of the Christian Church, but many of the Hixsons were. Should I find anything more, I shall post it.

You're exactly correct and I did run into some of those "brick walls." I have traced the Osborne's back to England with the first landing in Virginia in 1619. A great website for anyone researching the "Osborne's" is Osborne's Origins. Thanks again. Larry

True enough. This book sounds really helpful to most Osbornes researching their family, except, of course, those Osbornes who came from Ireland. I understand that there have been Osbornes in Ireland since the 12th century, although I believe the name was originally "FitzOsbern". Although there have always been a few Osbornes in Mason county, some English, some Irish, neighboring Lewis County (and Greenup County) has loads of them. Remember that Lewis County and Greenup Counties were once part of Mason county, so some of these may be relatives of yours. The Buffalo Trace Regional phone directory lists 2 Osborns - both in Fleming County; 21 Osbornes - 13 in Lewis County, 5 in Mason County (3 whose families came from Lewis County, 1 from Scott County, 1 unknown), 3 in Nicholas County; 2 Osburns - 1 in Bracken County and 1 in Bracken County; and no Osbournes (with apologies to John Michael Osbourne, aka Ozzie). I don't have a Greenup County phone directory, but there are l! ots of Osbornes in it, too. So, good luck and good hunting! One thing I have observed, there's a lot of musical talent in the clan : the aforementioned rocker, Ozzie Osbourne; the black soul artist, Jeffrey Osborne; the Country act, SheDaisy (the Osborn Sisters); and the Bluegrass band, The Osborne Brothers. You have lots to be proud of! Seabiker44@wmconnect.com wrote:You're exactly correct and I did run into some of those "brick walls."

Larry, In Scioto County, Ohio, where I live, I'm acquainted with a lady whose mother's family was from Greenup and Lewis County, KY (both of which were once part of Mason County). Their name was Orsbun, sometimes Orsben. Guess what? When she traced the family back, she found out that their name was Osborne when they first arrived in KY. The locals mispronounced it, so the spelling was changed to accommodate the pronunciation. Here in Eastern Lewis County, where I work, the name Osborne, which is quite common, is often pronounced Orsben or Orsbern. It's something to think about when encountering brick walls in your searches - things aren't always what they appear to be. In Northeastern KY there are Peppers and Pfeffers; Shoemakers and Schumachers; Webbers, Webers and Babers; Farises, Farrises, and Fearises; Gallaghers and Gallihers; Browns and Brauns; Craycrafts and Cracrafts; Crains, Crehans, and Cranes; Mullikins and Mulligans; Deas and Days; Rheas, Reas, Wrays, and R! ays; etc. Sometimes these families are one and the same, sometimes not. Seabiker44@wmconnect.com wrote: Thanks so very much for all your information. I will follow up on it, especially the one at Dover.

Kathy, Mason County and the City of Maysville recently had a "Coralie Runyon Jones Appreciation Day". I no longer live in Maysville, so I doubt that I should see her. She was teaching in the Mason County School system when I was attending the Maysville City Schools where her future husband, Earle Jones, was superintendent, so I really didn't know her; however, her first husband, Dr. Runyon, was my eye doctor when I was a child. Mrs Jones (Mrs Runyon then) taught my older sisters, Shirley and Harlene, in both the Maysville City Schools and the Ripley-Union-Lewis (later Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington) Schools. Although she's getting along in years, I hear that Mrs Jones is still in very good health. Kathy Hines <khines1@qwest.net> wrote: Well, goodness!

Thanks, Mr. Lee. I wasn't sure about Highland Christian's origins. It has moved a few times, but is still in Fern Leaf, although it used to be a few miles down the road in Highland Heights (not the one in Campbell County), a small community between Fern Leaf and Moransburg on the Germantown Road. Although Highland is no longer associated with the Disciples, I'm not sure whether Dover Christian is or not; I think it was still affiliated with the Disciples when I was a teenager. By the way, there are quite a few members of the Lee family from Lewisburg (the one in Mason County, not the one in Northern KY, nor the one in Western KY) still affiliated with the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Maysville.

If there are any records of Eubanks or similar spellings, I would appreciate any information on them. I am particularly trying to find a Frank or Francis M. Eubanks born around 1837 Bob Eubanks Leesburg, FL

pg. 110 - Earl Osborne is mentioned in a list of Deacons (since the founding of the Christian Church at Maysville). pg 107 - Mrs. Earl Osborne is noted as a current Sunday School teacher or officer. Also on pg 106: The Worthington class was organized in 1938. One of their projects has been to provide Bibles for all the rooms in the Hayswood Hospital. They also help the local welfare organizations in caring for needy families and assist in many ways within the church. This class was also named for its teacher, the late Mrs. Walter B. Worthington, whose memory will never cease to be an inspiration to its members. Mrs. Earl Osborne is the present teacher. bottom of page 22 and top of page 23: When Alexander Campbell came to Kentucky for the debate in 1823, he carried in his saddle-bags the first three issues of the Christian Baptist, his newly established religious journal. This periodical became the Millenial Harbinger in 1830. A measure of Mr. Campbell's influence in Mason County is shown by the fact that there was soon a growing number of subscribers to these publications in that section. Among the early subscribers were W. Tureman, T.C. Osborne, J. Corwine, J. Bacon, L. Cahill, S. January, A.H. Payne, J. Holton, W. Holton, A. Porter, I.G. Bacon, J.M. January, Colonel J. Pickett, J. Hatton, Daniel Runyon, and Walker Reed, Esq. source footnote: Unpublished manuscript written by Dr. Lewis Jacob Frazee, a member of the Maysville Christian Church, circa 1870.

I was asked when some of these churches were established. I'm not a native Maysvillian like Ben is, so all I can do is quote from this book. Here's just a paragraph out of a post I made to the list on 9/6/04 (you can find that in the mail list archives): "A History of the Christian Church Maysville Kentucky." Authored by Gayle Anderson Braden and Coralie Jones Runyon Published in 1948 by: The Official Board of the Maysville Christian Church. (part of) page 23: Some Christian churches organized by Barton Warren Stone were in the vicinity of Maysville and possibly had an indirect influence on that church. Mr. Stone's teachings on Christian unity and on a return to the essentials of early Christianity were permeating the air of Kentucky and adjoining states long before Alexander Campbell's first visit to that region. Some of the Stone or "New Light" Christian churches near Maysville were the "Old Bracken" church where Mr. Stone himself was preaching in 1817;** the Cabin Creek Church, (sometimes called East Fork), established in 1803; the North Fork Church in Bracken County, established in 1828;*** and the Paris Church, also founded in 1828.**** References: * A.W. Fortune "The Disciples in Kentucky" (Lexington, 1932), p. 76 ** Unpublished manuscript written by Dr. Lewis Jacob Frazee, a member of the Maysville Christian Church, circa 1870. *** Christian Messenger, V, No. 6, 135 **** Ibid., No. 2, 48 *# Eagle, February 19, 1857. Article on "History of Churches in Maysville." *## Christian Standard, XII, No. 2 (1877), 12. ## Eagle, March 1, 1859. ### Ibid., January 8, 1859.

Also, very close to Tuckahoe Road is the Lawrence Creek Christian Church in Moransburg, also not affiliated with the Disciples as far as I know. However, both of these Churches are very old and were probably around before the schism in the Campbellite movement which resulted in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Independent Churches of Christ/Christian Churches (which are actually 2 or more sects - one permitting musical accompaniment, the other not). In addition, there's a Highland Christian Church out that way (Fern Leaf), but I think it's a newer congregation, and it's definitely NOT affiliated with the Disciples. Unfortunately, I do not have contact numbers on any of these congregations, but you might check with the Ledger-Independent newspaper to see if it does (www.maysville-online.com).

Also, on the northwest end of Mason County, the area you're interested in, and in neighboring Bracken County, there are "Osburns". Maybe the spelling has changed over the years.
