My friends - Today, we resume data posts in McCracken County, as re continue to review the Vital Statistics birth records for that county in the 1852-1869 time frame. Subscribers to the JP and McCracken lists can obtain the full dataset for a birth shown in the listing below by sending a request to me. These datasets generally include the date of birth, gender of the child if not obvious, name of father and maiden name of mother and, in some cases in these McCracken records, the location within the county where they birth occurred is also included. Slave births may have the name of owner, or the name only of the mother, or, in many cases, nothing at all in the parent identification section. As always, your continuing assistance in not resending this entire message back to me with the request is appreciated. Tomorrow, we will look at another bio in the series on JP Men of the Judiciary. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken County - Vital Statistics Records - 1852-1860 - Births - Part 25 (M)=Male (F)=Female (AA)=African-American (NGG)=No Gender Given (ILL)=Illegitimate Sharer, Carry W.

RootsWeb has notified us that they will be performing routine maintenance on the systems they provide in the morning(Thursday)between about 1 AM (MDT) and 4 AM. However, another part of the notice indicates that the estimated downtime is "1 Day". I am hoping - and I believe - that this is incorrect and that the 1-4 AM note is the accurate estimation of downtime. However, should you have difficulty with any of the RootsWeb sites after 4 AM MDT tomorrow morning, this will be the reason why they cannot be accessed. -B ===================================================================

Does anyone know who the Holt Road near Ky Oaks mall was named after? I have posted several times and surely some of the older folks on the list might perhaps know. I know alot of the property from this road also bordered property owned by the Jett family in the area. Oddly way back the Jett's and the Holt's were related but thus far we have not been able to find out anything. If anyone is related to the Jetts also please let me know. Thank you Robin

Hello List, I had been on this list a while back-- maybe 6 months ago left and came back-- it used to be such an active list and now I see nothing. I posted a week or so ago about early divorce records for Pudacah, and never had a response-- which I can understand if no one knows, but I am just wondering what happened to the people and activity?

My friends - Today, we are moving over to McCracken County to continue our review of the Vital Statistics marriage records for that county in the years 1852-1859, although there are some other years scattered in these records as well, for the 1874-1878 and 1893-1894 time frames, as well as a few in the 1903-1904 period. Subscribers to the JP and McCracken lists can obtain the full dataset for a marriage shown in the listing below by sending a request to me.

My friends - Today, we are beginning a new series that will bring biographies of men who were attorneys and judges in the JP and in some other area of KY which had an impact on the JP. These bios will be taken primarily from the 1898 work, "Lawyers & Lawmakers of Kentucky". Our subject for today is Wiley Paul Fowler of McCracken County. As is now customary, there will be no data posts tomorrow or on the weekend. I will be working on digitization projects during these next few days, as well as on a piece I am preparing on the Thompson vs. Thompson case that we have discussed here, to be submitted to KY genealogical journals. If time - and my eyes(which are still not back to 100% again) - permit, I may be able to get a miscellaneous file converted and offered, but I think chances are slim on that happening. I hope everyone has a very pleasant Memorial Day weekend. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ JP Men of the Judiciary - McCracken County - Wiley Paul Fowler "Wiley Paul Fowler of Paducah was born in Smith County, Tennessee on the 2nd of September, 1799, and died in December, 1880, at the home of his son, Captain Joseph H. Fowler, of Paducah, Kentucky. During his early boyhood, he removed with his parents to Caldwell County, Kentucky, the family locating near Princeton, where he was reared to manhood. His educational advantages were only such as the primitive schools of those days afforded, but through a long life he improved every opportunity to add to his store of knowledge and became recognized as a man of ripe scholarship and wide general information, with a practical fund of common sense that enabled him to readily assimilate the wisdom he had gained and apply it to the every day duties of life. In 1817 a love of adventure caused him to take a trip to the southwest. Journeying toward the Mississippi he reached Island Creek and passed through what is now the upper portion of Paducah, but the entire region as, at that time, undeveloped. He made his way to Texas, where he spent about two years, when the country was ceded to Spain, and he at once returned to Kentucky. Locating at Salem, Livingston County, he took up the study of law,and was admitted to the bar in the fall of 1823 and located in what was known as the Jackson District, west of the Tennessee River; buit owing to the scanty settlement in that section, he sought a more lucrative field of labor in Salem, Livingston County, where he remained until about 1835. In that year, he became a resident of Princeton, where he secured a representative clientage, serving as counsel in connection with some of the most important litigation of that portion of the state. He was the contemporary of such prominent lawyers as George W. Barbour, James Campbell, Mat Mayes, Robert Patterson, David McGoodwin and James B[ryson] Husbands - men noted for their superior talent and brilliant work at the bar; but though he met some of the ablest representatives of the legal fraternity in forensic combat, he frequently carried off the laurels and thereby gained a reputation that numbered him among the most able member of that bar. In1839, by appointment of the governor - which appointment was confirmed by the Senate - Mr. Fowler was made judge of the circuit court of the district and continued on the bench for thirteen years, during which time he presided over the first session of the court in Ballard County in1842, the same convening in the month of June at the residence of John Stovall, near Blandville. After the adoption of the constitution of 1849, which provided for the election of the judiciary, Judge Fowler, who was opposed to the system, declined the nomination, but he was again called to the bench of the fourteenth judicial district on its establishment in 1860. In 1862 he was re-elected and served in that capacity until 1868, when he retired from the bench andalso laid aside his profession, with its multitudinous cares and responsibilities, to spend his remaining years in the quieter and more peaceful pursuits of his farm. He became one of the best known judges of western Kentucky, and his course was one which reflected credit on the bar of this portion of the state and showed forth in no uncertain terms his own high legal attainments and judicial skill. His dignity on the bench, his freedom from all impetuosity and his full appreciation of the majesty of the law made him particularly fair and impartial in his decisions; and his logical reasoning, his clear deductions and his comprehensive knowledge of the law, as exhibited in his opinions, awakened the confidence and commanded the respect of the entire bar. Deeply interested in the political questions and issues of the day, Judge Fowler was a supporter of the Whig Party in early life and was a warm advocate of Henry Clay, but on the dissolution of that party he joined the ranks of the Democracy. In 1853 he was sent by the district to the General Assembly, where he served one term. During the war, the judicial district i which he held court was occupied by the Federal and Confederate armies in turn, and Judge Fowler was arrested by the authorities of both. Upon his refusal to obey military orders emanating from the Union Army, he received an order banishing him to Sherman's colony in Yucatan, there to remain until the close of the war, which threat and order were never enforced, anyhow. One the 15th of April 1827, Judge Wiley P. Fowler married Miss Esther Araminta Given, a daughter of Dixon Given, a merchant of prominence. She died on the 1st of July 1847, leaving five sons,all of whom were engaged in steamboating and other river interests, but only one now survives, Captain Joseph H. Fowler, President of the Paducah & Evansville Packet Line Company, which controls much of the transportation business on the [Ohio] river. In 1848 the Judge was again married, his second union being with Mrs. Sarah S. Burnett, who died in April, 1877. In manner the Judge was most courteous, in temperament, genial and social, He held a membership in the Methodist Church for 45 years, and was widely known for his integrity of purpose and honesty of life." -Lawyers & Lawmakers of Kentucky Honorable H. Levin, Editor Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1898 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hello List, It sure has been quiet on this list, unless my subscribing did not take, Anyway, I am wondering if there is court records from the 1870's into 1910 ish-- The reason being is I think a ggg grandmother divorced and remarried 5 times moreso then her husbands dying. Also in 1910 the grandmother had her granddaughter taken from her after she was found to be unfit-- I wonder if there would be a court record on the child being taken away also.

A couple of weeks ago I asked if anyone had a copy of the index for the 1900 census. Since I did not hear from anyone, I have to assume no one has such a list. So, now I'm asking if anyone knows of a book or CD that has been published that would have the index for McCracken County's1900 census and how would I go about obtaining a copy? Thanks.

Is there an index for the 1900 cenus for McCracken County? I'm hoping someone will help me locate a family by the name of William Noah WILLOUGHBY. William often went by the name of Noah. Now as far as the name of WILLOUGHBY, as with some many other surnames, it has been slaughtered over the years. The name ranges from WILOBY to WILLOUGHBY with 16 different spellings inbetween! In 1900 his family should have consisted of: William Noah Willoughby Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Bell Walter G. Jimmy Thomas Otto Ardell Hobson Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My friends - I am glad to be able to finally be able to announce that the Graves County Order Book G Page Images with Every Name Index CD-ROM is available for distribution. This CD contains individual images of all 652 pages in the Graves County Circuit Court Order Book G, covering the 1853-1856 time frame, as well as an every-name index to the entries in that book. There are over 3000 entries indexed. In addition, the Index has clickable links to each page image(many thanks again to Don Larson for this improvement), and the Index itself has been extensively revised and corrected(with thanks to Cheri Casper for her work in this area). This material constitutes the earliest existing county based records for Graves County, since the December 1887 courthouse fire destroyed 99% of all county records. The CD will function on Windows or MAC operating systems, and offers the user the choice of "automatic" clickable links from the Index directly to the page images via a web browser(Internet Explorer or Netscape will operate with this feature), or the "manual" approach, in which the user can open each page image through any image file viewer, such as MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or any other such program. This CD represents literally hundreds of hours of work in the part of our volunteer indexers, myself, and our beta testers and other contributors over a two and a half year period. Subscribers to the lists which I host are offered the opportunity to obtain this CD at a discounted cost of $12.00(the general public will be asked to pay $15.00), which includes First Class shipping. The CD will be packaged in a "slimline" jewel case for protection and will be appropriately labeled on its surface, with instructions included on accessing the information. Please e-mail me off-list for any further information and for the address to which to send payments. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My friends - Today we are returning to our review of the biographies of JP individuals contained in the 1904 publication, "Memorial Record of Western Kentucky". Our subject today is from McCracken County - John E. Williamson. As is now customary, there will be no data posts per se tomorrow or on the weekend, although I do hope to find time over the next few days to convert and make available another miscellaneous file. Tomorrow is our "book day", on which items which our subscribers may have to offer on the JP region, or on KY in general, may be posted according to the guidelines established earlier this year for such postings. I will be announcing the availability of the Graves County Order Book G CD-ROM tomorrow as well. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken County - Biography - "Memorial Record of Western KY" - John E. Williamson "John E. Williamson, of Paducah, was born near Louisville,Jefferson county, Kentucky, in 1830, and was a son of John P. and Jane Williamson. Mr. Williamson was given only a limited education, and in early life learned the trade of stone cutter. In 1857 he came to Paducah and here opened a shop, and from that date he has been in the marble business in this city, saving during the period of the Civil war, in which he espoused the cause of the Union, and in Paducah organized a company for the Union army. He was chosen captain of the company, which was first connected with the Sixteenth Kentucky Cavalry, but was later consolidated with Twelfth Cavalry, the fortunes of which he shared until mustered out of the service at the close of the war. His grandfather, Elliott Williamson, was an emigrant to America in 1765; served in the colonial army in the war of the American Revolution and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown; had a family of five sons of whom John P., the father of our subject, was a soldier in the war of 1812, participating in the closing scenes at New Orleans, and died at Paducah in 1871, in his eighty-second year. He, too, had five sons, of whom John E., our subject, prompted by a spirit of patriotism and loyalty to the Union, participated in struggled between the states in the sixties. At the close of the war Mr. Williamson returned to his home and family in Paducah and resumed the civil duties of life. He has been a successful business man, and is a highly respected citizen. In politics he is a Republican. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was married in 1856, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Miss Elizabeth Brownfield, and has reared a family of worthy sons and daughters." -Memorial Record of Western Kentucky Lousiville: Lewis Publishing Co., 1904 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My friends - Since my posting of a few days ago concerning the KY Court of Appeals cases of Thompson vs. Thompson and Beadles & Wife vs. Thompson, in which I listed some of the individuals in Calloway and McCracken counties who had given affidavits and depositions in this case, I have had a number of inquiries about whether the contents of those items might be made available. After looking at the depositions and affidavits, I have decided to offer image files of many of them, and, in those cases in which some of them are too lengthy to be offered in that fashion, I will make them available by photocopy and snail mail, on a reimbursed cost basis. In the listing below are the names of those who gave statements of some sort in this case. Subscribers to the JP, McCracken and Calloway lists can request the image files for these items, with the exception of those that have an asterisk (*) after the name, for which the length precludes preparing image files for them, but interested subscribers can contact me privately and discuss photocopying the pages involved. The images should be requested by the name of the individual who gave the testimony. I am going to place a limit of three (3) on requests for these items, primarily because the size of the combined files will start causing problems on the receiving end, if we go above that number, as there are a fair number of ISP's who place limits on the size of incoming messages with attachments. With the exception of the items involving the Thompsons, Quisenberrys, Breckenridges, Quarles and Beadles families, the general content of the testimony consists of how the deponent was acquainted with Samuel or Albert Thompson, what business they had with one or both, and other such matters related to the case. There may be no family information at all in the items, but one can get a general feel for how these individuals expressed themselves, and step into just a little of their personal lives. Because of the time consuming nature of preparing all of these items, I would ask that my usual suggestion that "if you don't hear from me in 48 hours, query me" not be applied in this case, as it may take several days to get them items out. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken & Calloway Counties - Affidavits & Depositions - Thompson vs. Thompson & Beadles & Wife vs. Thompson - 1867 - 1878 Items marked with an (*) cannot be sent as image files and interested subscribers should contact me via private e-mail for copies.
