Looking for any information on the Robinson's and Cardwell's of Mercer Kentucky. I believe my gggrandfather George Cardwell Robinson may have been born in Mercer county in 1845 or there abouts. His father was William or Edgar William Robinson and his mother was Evalyn Cardwell. Any info or leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Robin [email protected]

I'm a desc. of Noah HAYDEN b. 25 Mar 1755 Morristown N.J.,d.Mercer Co.KY. I'm trying to figure out all of his children....I know that he was married twice [1] Mary ELLIOT] [2] Elizabeth GILPIN. I have these children listed for Noah : James Elliott, Nancy, Permilia/Pamela Elizabeth/Betsey...Noah Gilpin, Sally/Sarah, John W., James, Lemuel & Melinda But the big problem is several documents I have read from desc.'s of theirs and in the Hayden Family Magazine and other Hayden documents have mixed opinons on whose children were whose and if there was a James Elliott and a James? Hayden geneaolgist Elsie Carnes Davis wrote:[1]Mary Elliot, dau. of James had 3 children: James, Nancy and Pamelia, [2]nd wife Elizabeth Gilpin had Noah Jr., John W., Lemuel, Betsy Wickersham, Sally Wright, & Melinda Hamilton.... But in 1788, Noah contracted with [2]Elizabeth GILPIN to raise and take care of his 2 children and home.??? Were they James and Nancy?? Noah and Elizabeth didn't marry until 1804, but they had probably 4 children of their own by that time Pamela/Permelia, Elizabeth/Betsey, Noah Jr. and John W.b ca1804....some list another James b. after John W., then Lemuel and Melinda? If anyone has anything that would shed some light on this family and their children, I would very much like to hear from you. In Elizabeth's Will she names the following: my four sons, Noah, James, John and Lemuel Nancy Cary wife of Daniel Cary and Pamelia Cary wife of Ebenezer Cary to my daughters Betsey Wickersham, Sally Wright & Melinda Hamilton thank you, N.J.Skinner White in MI [email protected]

Surnames: MASON,JONES,SCOTT,WELSH,ESTILL,GANO Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gBB.2ACI/2964 Message Board Post: Slave Narratives State: Kentucky Interviewee: Mason, Harriet She was born one mile below Bryantsville on the Lexington Pike in Garrard County, and was owned by B. M. Jones. She gives the date of her birth as April 14, 1847. Aunt Harriet's father was Daniel Scott, slave out of Mote Scott's slave family. Aunt Harriet's mother's name was Amy Jones, slave of Marse Briar Jones, who came from Harrodsburg, Ky. The names of her brothers were Harrison, Daniel, Merida, and Ned; her sisters were Susie and Maria. Miss Patsy, wife of Marse Briar gave Maria to Marse Sammy Welsh, brother of Miss Patsy's and who lived with his sister. He taught school in Bryantsville for a long time. "General Gano. who married Jane Welsh, adopted daughter of Marse Briar Jones, took my sisters Myra and Emma, Brother Ned and myself to Tarrant County, Texas to a town called Lick Skillet, to live. Grape-vine was the name of the white folks house. It was called Grapevine because these grapevines twined around the house and arbors. Sister Emma was the cook and Myra and me ! were nurse and house maids. Brother married Betty Estill, a slave who cooked for the Estill family. Mr. Estill later bought Ned in order to keep him on the place. I didn't sleep in the cabins with the rest of the negroes; I slept in the big house and nursed the children. I was not paid any money for my work. My food was the same as what the white folks et. In the summer time we wore cotton and tow linen; and linsey in the winter. The white folks took me to church and dressed me well. I had good shoes and they took me to church on Sunday. My master was a preacher and a doctor and a fine man. Miss Mat sho was hard to beat. The house they lived in was a big white house with two long porches. We had no overseer or driver. We had no "Po white neighbors". There was about 300 acres of land around Lick Skillet, but we did not have many slaves. The slaves were waked up by General Gano who rang a big farm bell about four times in the morning. There was no jail on the place and I never! say a slave whipped or punished in any way. I never saw a slave auctioned off. My Mistus taught all the slaves to read and write, and we set on a bench in the dining room. When the news came that we were free General Gano took us all in the dining room and told us about it. I told him I wusn't going to the cabins and sleep with them niggers and I didn't. At Christmas and New Years we sho did have big times and General Gano and Miss Nat would buy us candy, popcorn, and firecrachers and all the good things just like the white folks. I don't remember any weddings, but do remember the funeral of Mr. Marion who lived between the big house and Lick Skillet. He was going to be buried in the cemetery at Lick Skillet, but the horses got scared and turned the spring wagon over and the corpse fell out. The mourners sure had a time getting things straightened out, but they finally got him buried.

Surnames: Johnson, Mayes, McCrystill, Vardiman, Carpenter, Martin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gBB.2ACI/787.662.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I am wondering if this family might be connected through marriage to a great aunt. William Frank Mayes was married to Nancy Ellen Johnson October, 1882 in Willisburg, Kentucky. She was daughter of John and Diana (Saunders) Johnson. I don't know his date of birth, but he died January 4, 1941 in Blue Mound, Illinois. She was born in Kentucky, believed to be Mercer County April 22, 1863 and died September 1, 1950. They had two daughters - Eva Mayes who married a Younger, and Effie who married Ernest Osborne. Then, in addition to that I have two letters that were written to my Mother - from Margaret Mayes, who lived Hamilton Hall, Lexington, Kentucky, probably Transylvania College in 1933. This would have been a cousin to my Mother, whose Mother was Martha Belle (Johnson) Carpenter. In her letter she talks about a Miss Nora, Hugh, someone she calls Ba. In the other letter she talks about Mother, Dad and Donald. She also talks about her Mother's cousin Ethel Johnson Martin who married Walter V. Martin and had two children - Cora V, and a son. If anyone can relate to any of this, I sure would appreciate hearing from you.
