Hi Geraldine, I bought my 1850 Morgan co. census from Mr. Harley Stephen Little, P.O Box 42, Jackson Ohio, 45640-042 last year. I don't remember the price but I think it was around $20. I don't have any idea where the Ky. Index would be available, except at libraries.

(I'm taking these from the transcript by the late Harley S. Little of Dayton, OH, which doesn't list the marital status, gender, etc. If the place of birth is not listed, it is Kentucky.) Household #199: Honor FRALEY 31 Margaritt 15 Emily 10 Marcus 6 William 4 Taylor 1 Neighboring households are William H. (37) & Rebecca (32) LEWIS, and Jacob (24) and Martha (23) ELLINGTON. There are no CASSITY families within 20 households either direction. Other FRALEYs in the 1850 census of Morgan Co are: #116: David FANNIN 60 Va Cyntha 30 Ky Denissa 4 Jane 1 Susan FRALEY 8 Sarah FRALEY 6 (Immediate neighbors are Henry (67) & Christina (55) EPPERHART, with a Catherine CASSITY age 1 in the household, and James P. (55) & Pheba (44) KENDALL. Nearby households include John (66) & Elizabeth (66) CASSITY at #107, and Isaac (38) & Lucinda (31) CASSITY at #108.) #145: Wilson FRALEY 25 Celer 20 [nee Priscilla FULTZ] Harrison 2 Washington 1 Jackson 30 #147: Frederick FRALEY 35 Barbara 25 John 10 Mary 9 Pricy 7 Eliza 5 Elizabeth 4 Amanda 1 (In between Wilson & Frederick is the household of James A. (31) & Anna (28) DAY. Neighbors are Benjamin & Elizabeth ROYSE and Matthew & Lucy LEE. There are no CASSITY families within 20 households either direction.) These are the only FRALEY families in the 1850 census of Morgan County. Morgan County marriage records list these marriages with FRALEY grooms before 1870 (from the transcription compiled by Gertrude Nickell): James FRALEY & Nancy KEETON, 5 Aug 1830 Breton FRALEY & Abigail BARKER, 11 Nov 1830 Isaac FRALEY & Honour FUGATE, 10 May 1840 <--- ?? Phillip FRALEY & Catherine STEAGALL, 11 Jan 1849 James FRALEY & Luzanne STUGALL, 24 Mar 1852 Daniel FRALEY & Millie EVANS, 24 Mar 1862 Collard FRAILY & Elizabeth HOLLIHAN, 25 May 1866 Wilson FRALEY and his wife Priscilla "Siller" FULTZ were both born in Lawrence Co. KY according to the birth record of their daughter Mary Jane born 14 Apr 1861 in Rowan Co., but in West Virginia according to the marriage record of their son John C. Mason "Mace" FRALEY. I would put more credence on Mary's birth record, since her parents were the ones supplying the information (also West Virginia didn't even exist at the time!) This might give a clue as to where to find other Morgan Co. FRALEY families in the 1820's.

Linda, I don't have a copy of the original, but I have a transcribed census for 1850. It looks like they were all born in Ky. No Cassities listed close by. She must have already been a widow. #199 Honor Fraley 31 Margaret 15 Emily 10 Marcus 6 William 4 Taylor 1 Norma At 12:52 PM 2/26/99 -0500, you wrote: >Could someone who has the 1850 census do a quick lookup for me?

Could someone who has the 1850 census do a quick lookup for me? I am looking for a James and Mary Honor Fraley who should be listed in the 1850 Morgan County census. I would like to know what age it shows for them, what birthplaces and were there any Cassitys listed nearby. Linda Cassidy Lewis

Hi, I've been told that you can get Census books, Marriage books, & births & death books or records from the Salyersville Ky, Historical Society, I have not yet been there but have been told this from people who have. Barb Holbrook

Where did you get the Ky. census for 1850÷ I would like to be able to get census- marriages and deaths for the entire State. I would actually rather have indices for the state if they were available do you know if they are? Thank you. Geraldine

The URL for Morgan Co GenWeb is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymorgan/morgan2.htm Folks: When giving a URL in a e-mail message, don't use HTML script. An e-mail message is not a web page! Readers who see something like <A HREF "http:www.rootsweb.com/~kymorgan/morgan2.htm">Morgan County</A> & will try typing all that superfluous <A HREF... stuff as part of the URL & go absolutely nowhere. Charlene's problem, where she gets a message that she is "performing an illegal operation" probably means that she needs to run ScanDisk & Disk Defragmenter from her "System Utilities", after which she needs to restart her computer about 3 times. At least, that USUALLY works for me. Halsey

Really enjoyed seeing the great Morgan County pictures. What a super thing to do so all can share! Peggy Walker

Enjoyed the Murphy's Law so much and forwarded it to my husband's family genealogist Bette Jo Gevedon Whetstone searching for GEVEDON, OLDFIELD, CARTER, ROSE, CECIL and more. [email protected]
