Jane: A good place to look would be Don Nickell's web site: http://nickell.tierranet.com/ Don probably has as much information about the Nickell line as anyone I know. I have a John B. Nickell, b. 1819, married Elizabeth "Betsy" Baker. This from some information Don shared with me a few years ago. Nothing on her parents, however.

Hi folks! You know behind the scenes at the Morgan County GenWeb site we have many sweet people contributing their time and efforts to getting more information online to make available (for free) to Morgan County Researchers. Right now Connie Spurlock and our ACC, Diana Trimble Crace, are working on several projects at once. In a few days (if I can make the pages fast enough) we'll have lots of new obituaries and descriptions of communities with in Morgan County. And I hear that an online census is in the works too! Tonight I was able to make pages for Diana's new cemetery information. If you visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymorgan/whatsnew.html you will be directed to four new cemeteries. Roger Gross kindly donated a list of all Morgan County cemeteries. Right now I'm trying to figure out which cemeteries we have already posted go with what name on his list. Once I do this, we'll have a complete index of Morgan County cemeteries with links to those that have pages. I know that a good number of folks want more pictures. I'm still trying to find a good way of doing this. Bear with me and something will happen soon :) Happy hunting!

Hi folks! I have updated the guest book at the KyGenWeb site. The new guest book will allow you to list the surnames you are researching as well as talk about your brickwalls. If you sign in, the guest book is indexed by the search engine at the site so others sharing your surname will find your entry easily. Please consider posting your surnames at the guest book http://pub41.bravenet.com/guestbook/show.php?usernum=3436406367 I am now making a change at FreeFind so that it will index the guest book about once a week. Within a week of posting your surnames, your names should appear in the search engine. Happy hunting!

Tony Adkins wrote the article when some family members presented his picture to the Morgan Co. Historical Society. Actually the article lists his mother as Sarah Margaret Hill. Doesn't really say where family is buried. John E. Hill was killed in WWI. He was a brother to my great grandmother, RAchel Hill who married Joe c. Hill. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sharon, Can you tell me who wrote the article and when was it written? Could the writer have been mistaken? Do you know where John was buried? Is he in the same cemetery has his father? While I wait for your reply I'm going to look at the list of Hill burials my Aunt Ruth made and check and see. I hope to get time soon to transcribe her records. I'll check and see if I can find your John. She was looking for Hills Hamiltons Fergusons Lemasters Browns and Williams when she did these.

I want to thank Patty Phipps for recently sending me a copy of this article aboaut the Higginbotham murder. Phyllis Peyton Young --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

In Ella's Scrapbook there is an article about "A Mystery Murder." "About the close of the Civil War, Joe Hicumbottom came from North Carolina to visit with his sisters, Mrs. Hiram Greear and Mrs. Calvin Stamper. Joe liked the country and decided to stay for awhile, making his home with his sister, Mrs. Stamper. Not so long after Joe came to KY, his cousin, George came for a visit with him. Joe introduced him to his acquaintances....." "The Pratts had some girls with whom Joe was acquainted, and, of course took his cousin up there to meet them." Cries were heard during the night by neighbors (Amyx). A man was begging some one not to kill him. Next morning, a man could be seen crouching in the path across the creek. The Amyxs crossed over and found Joe Hicumbottom down on his knees, with both his eyes gouged out--dead. "George Hicumbottom was never seen afterwards." "The Pratts claimed that the boys left there in the best of humor, and no one else had known of any ill feeling between them. It was just another unsolved mystery". J. Monroe Gevedon, Grassy Creek, KY. Anyone have any information about this Joe or George? My ancestor, Jack Higginbotham, is not mentioned. Jack lived as an Indian in the mountains south of White Oak. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

What I really need to know is: Was William Hill married to Margaret Rowland, and when he died did she marry Bill Weaver. I know there were 2 Wmn Hills here just about that time and some sources list one of them as marrying first Martha Holland, then Martha Williams. I think my William was married to Martha HOlland, then Margaret Rowland not Martha Williams, If yu could help to clarify this it would be wonderful.

I don't have any info on Miss Auxier but did find the following in my files: Joseph Lewis (son of Daniel P. Lewis & Peggy Day) was killed by 3 of Thomas "Suppiner" Lewis' boys: David, Amos & Alvin. As a witness they bribed him to leave but when he came back they killed him and covered the body with rocks. David served time. Amos ran away and did not return, Alvin was free because of his age.
