Wilma, Have you tried the Harrodsburg-Historical Research Library in Harrodsburg, KY? They charge $15.00 an hour for research. They sent me quite a lot of info on my White family line. The people at the library are fantastic. They send everything they find within that hour--and then let you know what else they have that I might be interested in ordering. I received wills, land records, tax, record, a page of marriages for the "W"s (for Casey Co. KY). If all else fails, I would give them a shot. I do know they have a lot of records. Then, there is the Boyle Co. Genealogical Society. Possible they may have something on your Lucas line. All these areas were once the same! Shari

I sent a check for $17.00 to the Treasurer General of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution to get a supplemental application that was done in 1992 for an ancestor of mine. Wilma might try this if she can't find the lawsuit papers. The application I received had a lot of info on 9 generations. It is 4 pages long and gives the service of the patriot also. If Wilma is direct descendent of a patriot, and someone else from that lineage is a member of DAR, she can obtain that supplemental application. All she has to do is fill out the form with the patriot's name and a little bit of info. Wilma can go to her local chapter registrar to get help with this matter, for example, a form to fill out for acquiring the apllication. Just a thought. Shari

Wilma Cornelius <wjc0923@msn.com> is looking for a copy of a lawsuit between the heirs of Lucas Voris and Isaac Voris in Mercer County, Kentucky.  The papers have either disappeared or been misplaced in the courthouse.  This is the only known document to prove her lineage to a Rev War soldier. If you have such a copy or know where one might be found, please let her know. Hugs, Carolyn Remember, you have a friend in Oklahoma! http://homepage.mac.com/carolynleonard

Here's the web address for the Harrodsburg newspaper. http://www.harrodsburgherald.com/ Jackie CASEY Neal -----Original Message----- From: Carolyn Leonard <Buffalo234@cox.net> Sent: Aug 28, 2005 2:17 AM To: KYMERCER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYMERCER] newspaper?

Press Release – for immediate release – Photo jpg follows For more info contact Carolyn Leonard at Buffalo234@cox.net DUTCH COUSINS WORLDWIDE GATHERING IN HARRODSBURG. Early History of Kentucky to be Studied The very first national Gathering of Dutch Cousins will convene in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co, Kentucky next month, September 23 to 25, and all those of Holland ancestry are invited to participate. “Those Dutch families married off their children mostly to others of the same group and faith, so if you had family early on in Mercer County, and know you have Holland ancestry, you are probably one of us,” said Rev. Claude Westerfield of Farragut Iowa, archivist of the group. Registrations have come in from 24 states. Ancestors of these people came over from Holland in the early 1600s – some before the Pilgrims went to Plymouth. These Hollanders settled Manhattan Island, naming it New Amsterdam. In 1664 when the English took over the area and renamed it for the Duke of York, the Dutch gradually moved west, many settling in New Jersey. A few years before the Revolutionary War broke out, a contingent of Dutch Reform Church members settled a colony in Pennsylvania. After the war, descendants of these families, who had remained in contact with their church and family members still in New Jersey, began moving to the frontier. “A colony of Low Dutch settlers – 50 families in all – first came to Mercer County in 1781 from Conewago Colony in Pennsylvania,” Westerfield said. He is a descendant of the Rev. Cornelius Cozine who pastured the church at Conewago, as well as several other Low Dutch pioneers. ”Kentucky was still a county in Virginia when they planned their trip.” The Conewago colonists adopted the term “Low Dutch” to distinguish themselves as being from the low countries of Holland and Europe instead of Germanic countries. These Dutch Reform settlers organized their Church in 1796 and erected the Old Mud Meeting House four years later on Dry Branch Road where it still stands, currently undergoing renovation while celebrating its 205th birthday. Preserving Old Mud for future generations is one concern of the group. The mud and wattle construction is melting, and vandals have senselessly damaged the structure. Those Dutchmen took the long hard trail, by wagon from Pennsylvania to the banks of the Ohio, tearing apart the wagons to build rafts and flatboats to navigate down the flooded River to the Falls of the Ohio, now Louisville, and rebuilt their wagons to journey overland to Harrod’s Fort. The area around Harrod’s Fort, now Harrodsburg, was filled with hostile Indians and farming was considered a dangerous occupation. But the sturdy pioneers, lured by promise of land, came anyway. “They brought their families, their animals and field seeds, and fought off Indian attacks along the way, which continued for a long time after they got here,” Westerfield said. “and they paid a high price in fatalities to hold their land.” Banta, Bergen, Bodine, Brewer, Demaree, Dorland, Duree, Cosart, Cozine, Monfort, Rider, Shuck, Smock, Terhune, VanArsdale, Van Nuys, Voris, Vorhees, Westervelt/Westerfield are some of the surnames associated with the Kentucky Low Dutch Settlers. Weekend plans include a welcome at the Harrodsburg Historical Society by HHS president Jerry Sampson, walking tour of the oldest town in Kentucky, tours of historic Dutch homes, dinner speakers like Vincent Akers, author of “History of the Low Dutch” and Larry Voreis, author of “Our Low Dutch Heritage.” Saturday’s meeting will convene at Anderson Circle Farms Show Barn where family researchers will share their knowledge, and conclude Sunday morning with tent services at Old Mud Meeting house followed by a farewell luncheon. Registration is a low $15. For more info contact Jay Westerfield of Bloomington IN at 812-825-3899 or Carolyn Leonard by email to Buffalo234@cox.net.

I'd be grateful to anyone who has access to the Mercer County obituary CDs to know if there are obituaries for Mary (Frost) Overstreet, who is said to have died in 1902, and for Sarah (Overstreet) Armstrong, who is said to have died in 1913.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol - Dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead. Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead. Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive. So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from this demonstration? A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

Surnames: Bohon, Ravenscraft, Claus Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gBB.2ACI/3375 Message Board Post: My Bohons run through Susan Bohon who first married William Whiting. Wm was killed in the Civil War in 1863 leaving Susan a young widow with a 4 month old child Rosa Wilia Whiting. She then married William Ravenscraft some time later and had 4 more children, 3 living to adulthood. All of the children were born in Marion County and the family would move to Rupert ID in Minadoka county sometime after 1880. Rosa married Rudolph Claus when she was 14 at the home of her grandfather John T. Bohon. Her Parents Susan and Wm Ravenscraft consented. When she died in Mar of 1932 she listed as survivors an aged father in law living with a sister Katie or Katy (Catherine) Bohon (in Sanfrancisco at the time)....Katie was married to a Dan Bohon the possible subject of a previous inquiry. I am attemtping to locate pictures of Susan Bohon and her family along with copies of any letters that likely passed between the family members.
