I finally located my Spears great-great grandmother on the 1860 Scott County Virginia census, in the Estillville post office area, on page 437 of the census. The listing reads: John Spears, 28, m, farmer, 100 (column 9), born VA Amy Spears, 26, f, spinster, born VA James ", 9, m, VA Catharine ", 7, f, VA Lucinda ", 5, f, VA Josaphine ", 1, f, VA ________________________________________ I'm unsure abt the census taker's use of "spinster" here. I also noted that there were two Spears in the household listed just previous to John Spears, the household of WIlliam Collins, farmer. A Lucy A. Spears is included as a 25 year old spinster born in VA, and an Adam Spears, a 19 year old male is included as a farm hand. _________________________________________ I believe that the 7 year old Catherine is my great-great grandmother, who married John C.B. Slone in Montgomery County Kentucky in April of 1878. 1. With regard to the proper name, family tradition has always referred to her as "Leah Catherine" or "Katty". 2.The ages match as she is listed on the marriage bond as being 22 years old in 1878. 3. Thelma Dunn's book on Montgomery County Marriage bonds 1876-1881 states that there was a note of permission "from John Spears and Amy E. Spears, parents of Leah C. Spears" to marry John C. Slone. The bond states that they were to be married 14 April 1878 at the home of John Spears. On the negative side, was Amy E. Spears Leah's birth mother or step-mother? If James was 9 and Amy 25 in 1860, that would have made her a pretty young mother--- but certainly not unheard of. John C.B. Slone's family came from Lee county, KY. By 1870, both John and his father Samuel were listed on the Menifee county KY census, with their families. John was listed on his marriage bond as a wagoner; but in the 1870 census he was listed as a miner. They lived in the Slate Creek precinct, and later all moved to Laurel County, KY. I assume they were following the coal. The family "tradition" of young brides continued with John and Leah's son, Benjamin Jefferson Slone, who married Della Etta Noe when she was 14! ______________________________________ Can anyone confirm John and Amy E. Spears marital status? Can anyone tell me who their respective parents were? Also, I have no death date for Leah Catherine Spears Slone (maybe if she could have settled on one name I could track it down!) Anyone who can help me untangle any of this mess will earn my eternal gratitude! Pat H.

Loved it, Nola I have a murder mystery that may have ended in some bad blood and feuding. When my brains are a little less scrambled, I'll give more details, but here's a quick summary; Two of my grandfather's brothers were charged with and indicted and brought to trial for a murder. They were later found not guilty due to reason of self defense. But, a few years later, the whole family left Rowan county (where they all had been living and where the murder had occurred, and uprooted and moved from Morehead to Ashland, KY. The man's name who was killed was a William Igo. The two brothers who shot and killed him were Tubil Mathias Dennis and Francis Marion Dennis. The murder took place in Rowan county, KY in 1891. There's more to the story, and one of my cousins tracked down the original indictment for the murder and sent all us cousins a copy, so I can transcribe and post it to this list and to the Rowan county list, if the arthritis in my hands will settle down a bit. I gather from the bench warrents that were issued for the two brothers that they fled the area, and were brought back to stand trial. Allie Young was their defending attorney (Allie Young and his father ZT Young figured prominately in the Rowan county wars). More on that later, too. Let me know if this rings any bells for anyone.

A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened. The baby sitter told her that her the fever was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man." The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!"

Hello All, This is being sent to you in case you haven't already heard about it before. I have just uncovered information that asks Kentuckians (or, I guess even people from out of the state of Kentucky) to let Kentucky's Task Force on Cemetery Preservation (Office of the Kentucky Attorney General) know about the location of Cemeteries which can allow the state of Kentucky provide proper aid, etc. The 38 member Task Force on Cemetery Preservation was formed by order of Gov. Patton sometime earlier this year. This sounds like a way to apply for aid to many of the historic & abandoned cemeteries throughout Kentucky. I know I have heard many persons on many of these mailing lists express concerns about the condition & care of old abandoned cemeteries here in Kentucky. There is a more detailed explanation at the following website (all or most questions you have can be answered when you visit this website): www.kyattorneygeneral.com/cemetery Time is short. From the above website, you can download a form to be filled out (or the form is also said to be available at the county judge's offices throughout Kentucky). IMPORTANT--This form must be filled out & submitted no later than August 15, 2001. So, if you have a cemetery (or cemeteries) within Kentucky that you are interested in having the State of Kentucky providing aid to, this form can filled out by any interested person & mailed as instructed (especially historic cemeteries that are overgrown, abandoned, and neglected). Hope this interests all of you. John Vice
