I should have been more specific in my post, I'm looking for information on Rev. John Rice who pastored at Shawnee Run. He and Rev. David Rice were both in Mercer county during the same time period.

I may be overlooking things, but I see no place to post a query. I would like someone to look up the 1820 Census of Mercer Co and get the ages of household of John Booher and Nicholas Booher, separate listings in the Index of Ky. 1820. One of these might be my ancestor and father of John H. Booher, born 1817 in Ohio, married in Montgomery Co. but possibly lived in Mercer Co. earlier. Hope you can help.

James, Published 1847. Reprinted by Henry Clay Press, Lexington, Ky., 1968, p. 133 (Green County). The REV. DAVID RICE (or "Father Rice, as that venerable man was familiarly known), was born in Hanover county, Va., December 20, 1733. He was converted under the preaching of President Edwards, and studied theology under Rev. John Todd. In the struggle for national independence, he took a warm and zealous part, and did not esteem it unbecoming his clerical position to harangue the people on their grievances at county meetings. In 1793, he removed to Kentucky, and identified his fortunes with the infant colony. Besides his active duties as a minister of the gospel, and the organization of many churches, he was zealously engaged in advancing the cause of education. He was the first teacher in the Transylvania seminary, and for several years the chairman of its board of trustees; and when that seminary, after its removal to Lexington, fell under deistical influence, he took an active part in raising up a rival in the Kentucky academy. The public estimation in which he was held, may be inferred from his election as a member of the convention which met in Danville in 1792, to frame a state constitution. He exerted his influence in that convention, but without success, for the insertion of an article providing for the gradual extinction of slavery in Kentucky. Previous to Mr. Rice's arrival in Kentucky, marriages had been solemnized by the magistrates; but after that event, the people made it a point to procure the services of a clergyman. On the 3d of June, 1784, he married a couple at McAfee's station, and on the 4th, preached the funeral sermon of Mr. James M'Cann, sen., the first sermon preached on the banks of Salt river. Father Rice's talents were of a plain, practical cast - not a commanding order. His judgment was sound, his disposition conservative, and his deportment exemplary. He spent much time in prayer. In the pulpit, his manner was solemn and impressive; in his intercourse with society, dignified and grave. His person was slender, but tall and active, and even at the age of seventy, he exhibited an astonishing degree of alertness. He died in Green county, on the 18th of June, 1816, in the 83d year of his age. His last words were - "Oh, when shall I be free from sin and sorrow!" Hanover-VA Lexington-Fayette-KY

I have been researching for about 2 years and have a lot on the family. Finding out when my greatgreatgrandparents died and where they are buried is just one of my missing links. The only Marksbury's I found when visiting the church were Mary Jane who was the wife of Samuel and a baby whose tombstone is right next to hers. I do know that Samuel is buried there also, as I have his obit and death cert. but he has no stone. I would be guessing he is buried right next to his wife. If the historian does have records I would be willing to come up and search them myself . I am like the other girl who is doing the Rice family if it takes a while that is okay as I have been waiting 2 years.

My lineage is with the Rice's and I believe that Reverend Rice is one of my great great grandfathers. I was hoping that the church has records of his family(names etc) and hopefully who his parents were. Billy Minton had sent me some information, but said the records were stored at the home of the church historian who was in bad health. I've tried to contact Billy several times with no luck. Can you help? I live in Shelbyville and could come by the church to look at records if that is possible. I appreciate any help you could give!

I need to get busy and really did through those records to see if I can make sense of them. But it definitly sounds like this William Long could be related to those in Cumberland County.

I am looking for Overton Marksbury and Catherine A. Hardin Marksbury(could be spelled Marksberry) who lived in that area. Last account of Catherine A. Hardin Marksbury was from newspaper article(The Harrodsburg Democrat, Friday, October 29, 1886) that was one line that read Mrs. Obe Marksbury died and was take to Shawnee Run Church for burial. The cemetary books that have been transcribed do not list either of these people. I was told by the historial society that they only put in the book what headstones they could read. I was just wondering if there was some sort of burial records within the church somewhere as to whom was buried where. The stones in the old yard are not readable. I have also read the minutes that were published and did not see any mention of either of these family members. Anything you can find would be helpful.

There is a will for George Corn in Book 2, Page 224 of Mercer County wills. Does anyone have a copy of this that they can send me. I am trying to verify the father of James M. Chorn and since there are two George's it is a problem. George Chorn the son of Ebenezer or George Corn the son of Timothy. Ebenezer and Timothy are sons of "Old George Corn" of Mercer County.
