Hello: I'm asking for information on the Benjamin H. Horn family listed in the 1920 census of Monroe County. His wife was Mary E. (Wooten) Horn. Children: Elaine C. and Mildred V. John C. Driver, father-in-law, was also in the household. I have John's wife's death certificate (Elma Wooten Driver) and it states she is buried in the Driver cemetery. I know there are more than one Driver cemetery in the area and one has been plowed over, but could anyone help me with the location of this particular one? I would like to know where this family lived and are buried. I have information on the Wootens if anyone is interested. Thank you for your time. Nancy Robinson

I was wondering if there might be anyone out there researching Robinsons. Thanks, karen

Folks, We live and learn... Tried to send an attachment through the list of an old photo. Guess mailing lists will not accept emails with attachments. However, I think I have an old photo of "Monroe County Courthouse" and can anyone verify for me it actually is. Couple of folks recently said "they thought" but I'd like to know "for sure" -- haha. Anyway, appreciate it! Rick

I ordered mine from Gorin Genealogical Publishing, 205 Clements Ave., Glasgow, KY. 42141-3400. It's the story of Rev. John Mulkey & bro. Philip Mulkey from the days they came to KY. and the establishment of the church and the subsequent "split" to the Christian Church. It has a large number of the parishioners names and a list of the Mulkey family names as well as others. The cost was $15.95 in Aug. 2000. http://www.state.ky/agencies/parks/Mulkey.htm will give you pictures and some history of the church. Enjoy.

Thanks to ALL the replied!!!! Rick

Hey Folks, Trying to figure out or clarify information about the "Old Mulkey Church," I believe it was in Monroe Co or Barren Co. Made a "split" I think around early 1900's - Church of Christ/Baptist? Some stayed, some went somewhere else???? Thanks, Rick

In view of some new information concerning the names of his parents, I am going to post some information about my gg-grandfather Thomas Brown and hope that someone may know something that would help determine his origins. Thomas Brown was born in TN about 1822. This is all I have prior to 1845. About 1845 he married Daniel Hestand's stepdaughter, Nancy Carter, and took over the operation of Daniel Hestand's farm in the Hestand, Monroe Co, Ky area. In the 1850 and 1860 Monroe Co, KY, census records, Thomas Brown and family lived still on the old Daniel Hestand place and Thomas was listed as a farmer. Its a little harder to pinpoint his exact location on the 1870 Monroe Co census but it appears that he is still in the Hestand, KY area. However, in 1870 his profession is given as practicing physician. Now in 1870 a Charles Brown was living in the Hermitage Springs area in Clay Co. This same Charles Brown had earlier been living in Monroe Co in the Center Point area. In 1874 Thomas Brown bought the Hermitage Springs farm from Charles Brown (I have the deed) and Thomas moved his family down to Hermitage Springs. In the 1880 census Charles Brown was back in the Center Point area. Thomas Brown died between 1874 and 1880. In 1880 his widow and several adult children were in the Hermitage Springs area. I believe that his widow Nancy Carter Brown died in 1896 (from the minutes of Trace Creek Church of Christ). Thomas Brown's oldest daughter Martha Armittie Brown married John Harrison Moore in Monroe Co in 1869 and they migrated to Hill Co, TX, in 1886. This is my line. I have never been able to trace Thomas Brown back past the year of his marriage (c1845) in Monroe Co. My father had given me an incorrect name (Alexander Spear Brown) for Thomas Brown's father and I have wasted some time chasing after this person without any success. I now know how my father came up with this name. The story is too long to tell, but if there is an Alexander Spear Brown he is not related to me. However I believe that I have now learned the names of Thomas Brown's parents. I discovered some genealogical notes written by a descendant (who is unknown to me) of Thomas Brown's oldest son, William Brown. The notes seem to be accurate in those areas where I can verify them. In the notes, the parents of Thomas Brown are given as "Billy Brown" and "Polly Eldridge". Nothing else is said about them. I don't know where they came from, but I do know that there was a large Eldridge clan in early Overton Co as well as a lot of Browns. So can anyone shed some light on this line of Browns? The surname Brown is the 4th most frequently found surname in the Social Security database (Smith, of course, is #1 and Moore is #11). There are many Browns in the Monroe-Clay Co area and also a number of Thomas Browns. I have a list of the children of Thomas and Nancy Brown at the end of this note and a more complete descendancy chart can be found at http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/files/brown/tombrownall.txt Thanks.

Hey Folks, Several have asked, so here goes. My grandfather "Amos Levi McWherter 1889-1935," supposedly had 3 or 4 Farm/Feed Stores in Monroe County possibly Barren/Hart. My best "gestimate" as research to date, would be Monroe County though. I wouldn't think the actual buildings are still around, but you never know what may show up by asking as some of you stated. He was the eldest on of Batley Asa McWherter and Sara F. (Matthews). Their other 9 children all died from the ages of 1 day - 6 days. His wife was Gertrude Isenberg. Other older Surnames that tie to me would be: McWherter - Arterbaum, Bacon, Billingsley, Blythe, Botts, Bray, Britt, Carnahan, Clark, Clemons, Crabtree, Danniel, Davis, Dillard, Ekblom, Fergerson, Frazier, Gee, Greer, Grider, Grissom, Harlin, Hoss (Native American?), Houchens, Howard, Isenberg, Jones, Kelly, Kingery, Lovelady, Lowe, Matthews, Miller, Page, Pruitt, Shipley, Short, Strode, Strother, Simmons, Vaughn, White, Whitlow and Witty. Isenberg - Adair, Adams, Agers, Barrons, Chapman, Cline, Colbert, Crabtree, Doyle, Fisher, Fox, Hunter, Laird, Lively, Lloyd, McCombs, Minor, Mohler, Phemister, Pitcock, Reynolds, Roberts, Rogers, Sherfy, Simmons, Sturgeon, Toohey and Turner. So, if any one is related or have established sites, primarily with Barren/Hart/MONROE/Warren County - I would love hearing from you. Rick McWherter, Louisville, KY

Hey Folks, The SMALL percentage of photo's identified SO far are: Bacon, Raymond Botts, Lester D. Coretta, Mile - She's a Midget Clemmons, Pearl Mae Cline, Riley and Annie, Ted, Thomas, Lester/Vester-Twins, Coffee, Tex Doyle, Mervin/Marvin Edwards, Bernice Hazel - Baby 2 Months Old with Mom/Dad/Other Sibling - Mom wearing glasses with dark hair Ekbloom, Marty Highbaugh, Annie - Son? Hill, Florene Hogan, Paul Isenberg, Berdine?, Evelyn (Could be Doyle), Gertrude, Settie? Jones, Jack Kingerey Lovelady, Sarah Betty "Sallie" Lowe, Walter Brown - no pic but I have interest... Miller, Sarah Elizabeth "Sis" Miller, Landon Strode, Arlie H. and wife Mary Ada Strode, Evans E. and wife Flossie Sturgeon, Barry Stuffie, Carrol, Hattie (Isenberg) Herman, J. T., Juanita? Vaughn - Believe by trade he was a Barber Whitlow, Addie So how many distant cuzz's I have out there? I'm still planning on posting to various sites in KY. Just thought someone may know more about some of these folks than I do. 99.99% of these folks tie to me one way or another, through my McWherter/Isenberg family Barren/Hart/Monroe/Warren Counties.
