Kathy; My Fanny Lewis isn't the same as yours she was born earlier and married Owen Adkins. I do have other information on the Lewis family from Morgan Co., Ky. Fanny was born March 1823 and married April, 1848. What other Lewis's are you looking for?

Hi all, I need some help with my HOWARD and PHIPPS lines. Stephen Howard married Elizabeth Phipps in Morgan Co.; 1846. I believe he was the son of Moses and Mary (Polly) Patrick Howard. Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Cynthia Howard Phipps. Did Stephen die or divorce Elizabeth? Their two sons were living in the household of Moses Howard in the 1850 Morgan Co Census; Levi (3) and Stephen (1). A Margarett Howard (20), was living with the family, as well. Is Margarett (Elizabeth Phipps)? Elizabeth Howard is listed in the 1860 Census as the head of the household, with Levi (13), Stephen (11) and two daughters, Martha (5) & Cyntha (4). If Stephen died or left the family, who is the father of the girls? A Stephen Howard married Rebecca Minix and they are listed in the 1860 Census with children; Harrison (4), Lark (2), and Sarah Jordan (5). Is this another Stephen, or the one who was once married to Elizabeth Phipps? I could certainly use some help here. Please let me hear from you. Marilyn Phipps email: [email protected]

Sherry, Would like to find more on the Sargent family myself. My grandmother, Ann Lykins Cordle was born in Morgan Co. and her mother was Almarinda Sargent who married John Will Lykins. Almarinda Sargent`s parents were Thomas J. Sargent, born September 30, 1852 and Amelia Ann Elam, born February 12, 1853. Thomas` father was Jim Sargent. I have no dates for him nor do I know the name of his spouse. If we can make some connection together that would be nice or maybe someone out there can help the both of us. Charlene

Laura, Would you have any info on a Braxton Brown who married a Donalson.

I forgot who asked what an ahnentafel was but thought I'd explain to those who don't know and send a part of mine. Number yourself 1, your father 2 and your mother 3. Then your father's father is 4, your father's mother is 5, your mother's father is 6 and your mother's mother is 7. You follow this pattern along the list of your lines. The father of any number is double that number. Here is part of my ahnetafel. I haven't updated it in a while so consider it a work in progress: 1. Laura Brown b. 26 Nov 1961, Alamogordo, NM.

To those looking for a Mary Dennis -- I have a Mary Dennis who married William Lawson Dec 17, 1824, in Morgan Co., Ky. Could this be who you are looking for as you did not give dates or anything. I have nothing else as to who her parents or siblings were. I do have the children from this marriage. Ruby

I'm sorry again to those of you getting this note twice but I know some Morgan County Ramey folks might be interested in this information as well. Any Ramey researcher knowing who William P Ramey is, could you let me in on the information? Thanks! (I descend from Rachel Ramey and Eleazor Lemaster). > If the note is too long, use your FIND command to go the Browns on the page. WHO IS MANLEY BROWN???? Of interest is the RAMEY family and the SAunders family (hopefully I'll get the Saunders link to the Browns out to you soon). The Rameys married to Mary Bryan Van Hoose's siblings... Mary's son, Jesse, married Edy Brown grandaughter of Thomas C. Brown (my grgrgrandmother). Edy Brown's nephew, Captain Edward Brown had children with Rachel Ramey's grandaughter, Mary Lemaster (my grgrgrandmother). > > Read on.... > Gath, Fleming County, Kentucky > > No Trace of Gath Remains Today > > Small Pioneer Settlement Has All But Been Forgotten > by Dr. William M.

On July 9, 1798, two years after Flemingsburg was > founded, the county court of Fleming established Gath on the lands of > Byram Routt, a large land owner in that area. It was to be situated on > the eastern bank of Locust Creek. A plat of the town was duly recorded > in Order Book A. This place probably looked like an excellent place to > establish a town because it was on a direct route between Flemingsburg > and Mt. Sterling, and it was also on the Licking River and could serve > as a shipping point for goods and material going down river to the > Ohio. However, the Licking River, especially above Sherburne, was > navigable only a few months of the year and was quite treacherous in > many places. > > The first trustees of Gath were William Burke, William Caldwell, Thomas > C. Brown, and Alexander Simpson. William Burke was a land owner on > Locust Creek. His will is recorded in Fleming County and it was > probated in October, 1801. > > According to the plat of the town in the old court order book, Gath > contained 103 in-lots and 10 out-lots. These 113 lots contained all > together 100 acres. The streets were named East, North Cross, Main, > Lower Water, and Upper Water. In the center of the town was a public > square containing two acres. Running north was a street called Out > Street, which led in the direction of Flemingsburg. > > At the May term of Fleming Court, 1799, John Hunt and Manley Brown were > appointed to mark out the bounds for a warehouse in the town of Gath > for the inspection of flour and hemp. They finally made their report in > July, 1799, stating they had laid off lots 12 and 13 (half-acre lots) > for the warehouses -- beginning on the bank of the creek, thence down > the same 10 rods, then off at right angles 15 rods, for quantity. > > Isaac Terhune bought the first lots, numbers 5 and 50, in Gath on March > 10, 1800.

Sorry to take up everyone's e-mail with this note but in sending out the notes to my minilist of Morgan County/Hampshire County Brown researchers, I get the note to the above address bounced. I can't remember whose address this is. Obviously they have dropped their account. If you used to have this address and still want to be on the minilist let me know. Thanks!
