The Monroe Co vital stats for 1852-1860 recorded the marriage of Leroy and Marinda: Leroy Curtis age 23 born Jackson Co, TN Marinda Grinestaff age 17 born Monroe Co, KY married in Monroe Co on 4 Nov 1852. Both children in the 1860 census belong to Leroy and Marinda. Their births are recorded in Monroe Co vital stats with Leroy and Marinda listed as parents: Henderson Curtis 21 Aug 1853 Monroe Co Catherine Curtis 4 Sep 1855 Monroe Co It was Henderson Curtis who drew my attention to this family, since he married into my Moore line. I have always thought that the Leroy Curtis who lived with Gerusha in the 1850 Jackson Co, TN, census is the same as the one who married Marinda. But I have no proof. Take care.

Hi Gang, Could anyone give location and directions to Old Soldier's Cemetery, Monroe County, Kentucky? Thanks John at Sissom dot org

Curtis Researchers: LeRoy Curtis, the child of -?- Curtis and Jerushia -?- was born ca. 1829, in Jackson County, Tennessee, married Marinda Grindstaff, November 4, 1852, in Monroe County, Kentucky, daughter of Nicholas Grindstaff and Mary Musgrove. In 1875, Leroy Curtis was a member of Mill Creek (became Mt. Poland) Baptist Church in Monroe County, Kentucky. Leroy Curtis died Abt. 1900, about four miles South of Tompkinsville, Monroe County, Kentucky. I have yet to locate his grave. I am looking for: 1. His parents 2. His grave location Will exchange data on CURTIS, et al Thanks John at Sissom dot org

Can anyone on this list give me more genealogical information on these two persons? A William Stewart signed the bond for the marriage of Daniel Pennington and Esther Freiley/Frailey in 1805. I will be grateful for any information. 209 2 Stewart..... William...... 431101 40110 217 10 Pennington.. Daniel....... 210010 32011 Nell

Hi, Can anyone please tell me if Ancestry.com digitized the Schedule 7 of the 1880 census? This is the schedule that has information about residents/inmates of a poorhouse in a given county. I know that Monroe Co had a poorhouse as there were a few people recorded in the Turner Pct, ed #199, pg 271C. I've read an article that indicated that a separate schedule was frequently done, in addition to recording people on the "regular" schedule 1. Thanks, Colleen Lill

I am completing a DAR supplemental application on my ancestor, Christian Frailey, father of Ester Frailey, wife of Daniel Pennington. Is there anyone on this list who has proven to him? I need some documentation about his Revolutionary War service. J. Nell Beck Truitt

Colleen, I can be reached through the above e-mail. Phil

I've been attempting to contact Phil Rhoton, a Monroe Co researcher and the messages have bounced back from 2 different addresses. Does anyone on the lists have a current email address for Phil? Thanks, Colleen Lill

Colleen, I found the following on World Connect; part of rootsweb.com: Thomas B Wheeler Born 18 FEB 1855 in Monroe Co, KY Married Mary (Molly) A Gentry b: AUG 1859 in TN a.. Married: 19 MAR 1876 in Monroe Co, KY I had some Gosnell's in Monroe Co., and at least one of them married a Gentry, so there could be a lose connection somewhere. I had a Edith Gosnell who married a Thomas Wheeler in the 1700's in VA. I hope that this helps. Harold

I recently came across a birth record for a Thomas B Wheeler, b 1855 in MC. Does anyone have access to a source for this record? I don't know who his parents were, so am looking for informaiton. There were other Wheelers in Monroe Co from about 1835 onward and I am connected to all of them (ie Lewis Wheeler and families). Does anyone have a connection to this Thomas B Wheeler? Thanks, Colleen Lill Canada

Hi, I have just come across a marriage record in Monroe Co: Louis Wheeler m Sarah M Silvey Jan 15 1865 Pretty much all of my Wheelers came out of Monroe Co Ky and this Louis Wheeler is likely one of 2 men: either Lewis Wheeler b abt 1792 in TN and was married to Rhody Gentry (she died abt 1849/50); OR Lewis Wheeler b abt 1840 in Monroe Co. This second Lewis Wheeler is the grandson of the first one (his father being James Wheeler). The elder Lewis Wheeler died abt 1869 in MC. Does anyone have information about Sarah Silvey? Is there anyone on the list familiar with the surname Silvey from MC? The source of this marriage record was : Dodd, Jordan, comp. Kentucky Marriages, 1851-1900 (database online @ Ancestry.com). Thanks for any help. Colleen Lill Canada "But a breeze passing in a still room stirs my hair now and then in soft affection. I think it is my mother."

Yes, Ruth. We must keep looking, though it seems to have turned into a life's work.

Ruth, I think I said or meant to say that it was possible they came earlier. Grandma Huldah was born 1859 and the border business came up in 1858. I think Judy's records show Huldah born in Hart County, so their sojourn in Monroe County and the final move to Hart County would have had to have been before 1858. There is a sprinkling of Hunters in Breckenridge County, and in East Kentucky that go back much farther than 1858, and though I don't have the connection, I am sure some of them are in our line....just don't know which ones.

Doug, I have a James R. GERALD b ca 1868 Monroe Co who md Florence C. ? 1879-1968. They are on the 1930 Monroe Co. census. Two of the children were of interest to me: Stanley GERALDS b 1917 d 1996 IN md Chloe Rea PAGE Wilson GERALDS b ca 1917 md Geneva PAGE Florence, Stanley and Chloe are on the SSDI Index. These PAGE girls were descendants of Exolheath PAGE of Goochland Co. VA and are in the 2nd ed of the Exolheath Page book along with some of their children. I never explored the Gerald(s).

I am not a skilled genealogist but, nonetheless, I am trying to learn more of my Hunter family, who came to Hart County, from Monroe County. My maternal grandmother was Huldah Hunter (Barrons,Barns, Barnes). She was born 1859 and died 1941 in Hart County. I do not know where in Monroe County they lived. I do not know if they came to Monroe County before the survey placed Monroe in Kentucky, not TN. I know this isn't much to go on, but any information or suggestions on how to research this, would be very helpful and very much appreciated. Gordon Crump Columbia,KY
