I would like to ask if anyone can help me on this... My GGG grpa was John Shultz b. 1780-90 (TN?) m. Susannah Griffin b. @1785... In 1817 a Sally SHULTZ b.1795 Tn. m. James Perratt/Peirratt in Bath CO 26 Mar 1814 and mother of bride was Elizabeth Shultz and bondsman was John Shultz. I believe that my JOHN b. 1780-90 is too young to be her father as he was m. in Bath Co in 1807. This John also had a son named John but he would be too young also. I suspect that my GGG grpa John b. 1780-90 may have had a father named John also and he would be father to this Sally and my GGG grpa. so my question is does anyone know who this John Shultz and Elizabeth Shultz, parents of Sally, maybe.

For Wills' researchers: Anyone have any idea why Frederick William Wills is not listed? It's my understanding that he took his father (William Wills') place. And...on the note of the Revolutionary War, does anyone know the steps needed to go through to get my son and daughter involved in the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution organizations? Thanks so much!

Hi Lee, Thank you ever so much for the story of the new courthouse, which I have printed to include in my files. It is a beautiful stately building which I have visited. Unfortunately, I didn't know of the plaque until later. And I think I surely found it on the Mont. Co. site, but I'm going to have to do some more digging to figure out just where I saw the list. Hope to do that in the next day or so. Many, many thanks.

Hi Fellow Diggers, Does anyone know the history of the bronze plaque at the courthouse which lists the soldiers of the Revolution? Four members of my families (Alexander Simpson and 3 Jamesons) are listed there and it would be nice to know something about when the plaque came to be put there and the source of it's information. Thanks for your help. Janet Allen

My connection to the Trimble and Young families is as follows: Judge James Trimble was a brother-in-law to my 4th great grandmother, Jemima W. Lane. It was he who wrote a note of recommendation to West Point for his nephew, John Lane Cooke. 1816 - He witnessed the last will of William Wilcox Cooke in Nashville 1818 - Sam Houston studied law for six Months with Judge James Trimble, Nashville, TN 1833 - Mount Sterling, KY Feb 19, 1833. Letter addressed to William T. Barry Signed by James Trimble: “The bearer of this, John L. Cook, is the oldest of three sons of the late George W. Cook, formerly of this place. He is my nephew; and he is also the nephew of the late Judge Cook of Nashville.” 1834 abt - Moved to Hinds County, MS, appointed federal judge by John Q. Adams. 1850/60 - Died Hinds Co. MS, Will registered there (John L. Cooke left West Point before graduating, in 1835 went to join the Texas Army under the name of Louis Phillippe Cooke and later became Secretary of the Texas Navy.) James H. Young (1808-1873 TX) m. (in TN Franklin) Mary H. King (1804 Montgomery KY-1880 TX). I'd like to identify James Young's parents. Also, there are a number of connections between the Young & Higgins families. An example is Leonard Young (1745- )who m. Molly Higgins (1744-1813), daughter of William Higgins & Ann Yarborough. This couple live in the Montgomery/Fayette area and had 13 children. Regards, Karen

Hello Karen, You are the first I have seen from Montgomery County that is researching Young and Trimble. I have a little information on these 2 families if you want to share. I have a brick wall with William Young m. Catharine Moxley. I believe he is the son of William Young that married Ann. ********* Hello to All, My area families include: James Hardage Lane (1735-1787) & Mary Smith John Lane (1758-1824) & Margaret Burnes George W. Cooke (c. 1787-1830) & Jemima Waddy Lane Wilds Cooke (c. 1760- aft 1829) & Elizabeth Wilcockson Miller King (c. 1775-c.1830) & Sarah ___ possibly HIGGINS Among allied families: Bondurant, Bryan, Holman, Trimble, Stone, Young, ... Karen, in Barbizon, France **********

I'm hoping to identify the wife of my ancestor, Miller KING (c. 1770, possibly in England- ). I think she may have been Sarah HIGGINS, daughter of Capt. James Higgins (c. 1754-) & his wife, Nancy Estes... According to a letter written by Hiram H. Higgins in 1872: "Sarah [daughter of Capt. James Higgins] married a yankee by the name of King, in Montgomery County, and shortly thereafter emigrated, and settled near the mouth of Bean's Creek, Franklin County, Tennessee, raised a large family of respectable and handsome sons and daughters." In 1819 my Miller King received a land grant of 50 acres in Cumberland County, KY. In 1824 in Franklin County, TN he received a grant on Bean's Creek. 1830 census TN Franklin Sarah KING (F 60-70) (widow?) with some of family, living next to Amazon KING - proven son of Miller KING Sounds right, but no proof. All help welcome! Karen

Rev. William Cooke (1738-1812) & wife Elizabeth of Surry County, NC, had four children: Wilds Cooke (c. 1760-aft 1829) m. Elizabeth Wilcockson Mary "Polly"Cooke (c. 1762-) m. Reuben Holman John Cooke (1766-) m. Mary Wilcockson Lucy Cooke (1768-) m. James C. Holman Wilds (Wiles) Cooke was listed in the Madison Co. KY in 1790 and 1792 and then in Montgomery County, KY from 1800 through 1820. At the 1810 KYMontgomery census Wilds Cooke appears listed with 8 children - 4 male, 4 female. I know the names of two sons: Judge William Wilcox Cooke ("married Judge Brown's sister of Clarksville [TN]") and George W. Cooke (married Jemima Waddy Lane). I'm seeking to identify the other children of Wilds COOKE & Elizabeth WILCOCKSON. (A Wilds Cooke was a survey marker in 1821 - possibly a son...) All clues welcome.

Hello to All, My area families include: James Hardage Lane (1735-1787) & Mary Smith John Lane (1758-1824) & Margaret Burnes George W.

Karen, This is not my direct Stull line but I do have GW and Fanny in my FamilyTree maker file. I descend from Moses H. Stull b. 1820. He was a brother to your Jacob. I have that GW and Fanny were married 23 Jan 1853 in Montgomery CO, KY. but I do not have a citation for that fact. I abelieve I got the information off Ancestry.com. I will check and see if I can find anything else on that date for you. Marilyn

Anne, No, I do have anything about your Mary/Polly Wills. Was she in the Frederick William Wills line? Marilyn

For general information: the LDS church is in the process of indexing all of the records in their Granite Mountain Vault - over 2 million. As the records are completed they will be made available for free at FamilySearch.org. This is going to make things much, much easier for all of us. Anybody interested in helping with the index can volunteer at www.familysearchindexing.org . You do NOT have to be a member of the church to be a volunteer. The more volunteers they get, the faster the records will become available.
