Thank you Delores and thank you Marla for your generous offer. Can I upload pictures to this site? I did not realize I could, if more appropriate to send them to your personal email address could you provide that to me? Thanks again. Aaron

Hi I am 3 miiles from Index. I believe before the new road was put through Idex was a little community separate from West Liberty. Index now uses the post office in West Liberty. I work with many Gevedons and some Wheelers. If you could post the pictures to this site or my mns Morgan County Kentucky Geneology site then I could have some locals view them and they may know who they are Marla Taylor ----- Original Message ----- From: "b fernandez" <BFERNANDEZ@neo.rr.com> To: <KYMORGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [KYMORGAN] Gevedon- Wheeler > Hi, Yes there is a Index, Ky it's at the edge of West Liberty,KY.

INDEX, KY WAS A SEPARATE TOWN FROM WEST LIBERTY. IT WAS ANNEXED TO WEST LIBERTY WHEN THE NEW PRISON WENT IN. I WAS RAISED IN THE HOUSE THAT SAT WHERE THAT STUPID MCDONNALD'S IS NOW.

LAURA On the cemetery listing page ((http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymorgan/mdcem.htm)) there is an image missing in the header box right after the words "Morgan County Cemetery Listings" . . . "no graphic" . . . . I checked the source code and it shows that the image source is "" ((blank - nothing between the quotes)). Is this the information you are looking for??

KY and died May 17, 1964 We seem to be on the same page my friend. We will continue from there. Your description of your current weather fits well with ours. We live in Lake County, Central Florida and the smell of orange blossoms permeates the air. We had a high today of 88 which is a bit unusual since it seldom gets that hot even in mid-summer but it was not unpleasant and we had a major wind that made the air pleasant. It has been only about 4 weeks ago that we had our winter on two nights. Freezing temps for about 5 hours caused major damaged to banana trees and other tropical shrubs. We have had warm weather and a lot of rain ever since to repair the damage of those few hours. Our town is Howey in the hills. We are northwest of Orlando in rolling hills and lots of lakes. You seem to have a lot of info on the Gevedon's so you may have all the info I do. Let me know if you have any missing icons that I may have. There was much intermarrying among the families: Chastain, Carter (Cartier) Martin (Martain) and the Gevedons. The name changed over the years as Anthony's name was Gevaudan and therefore all subsequent names should have been the same. However in addition to Gevedon there is Jividin, jeffodan etc. Gevaudan is an area of France that still has that name. Regards, Aaron

" I wondered if this "Arta Mecie Perry" is the same as one or both of the following: 1) The "Artie Perry Gevedon, b. 1855, d. 1948, wife of Berry Chastain Geveden" pictured on p. 103 of Nickell's "Picture Album of Morgan Co., KY, Book 2"? 2) "ARTEMESIA PERRY, b. Nov 27, 1854" listed as child of Cyrus Perry (s/o Thomas D. Perry & Martha Wells) and Dorothy Blair? Frankie PS: I have friends who live in Lake Havasu! Small world, right?

Aaron, Dave Henry Gevedon was my wife's grandfather. Family records show his father's name as Willis Green Gevedon and his mother as Mary Jane Carter. Dave was born November 29, 1875 in Morgan Co. KY and died May 17, 1964 in Morehead, KY. He married Martha Elizabeth Gevedon on Feb 7, 1902 in West Liberty, KY. Martha was born May 1, 1884 in Morgan Co., KY and died September 20, 1981. Her father was Berry Chastain Gevedon, brother of Willis, and her mother was Arta Mecie Perry. They had one child, Roy Telford Gevedon who was born July 28, 1905 in Morgan Co. KY and died Sept 11, 1985 in Morehead, KY. I also show Margaret J. Gevedon as being the daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ann Leach. I have a birth date of Nov 1, 1859 in Morgan Co., KY and that she married a John W W Wheeler on January 1, 1884. This is the only info I have--------no date of death, no children, no dates or parents for John (and I think the two W's are suspect). Thanks so much for writing. Wonder how we should proceed?? How is your weather? Our day time has been in the 70's, but they are forecasting 80's this coming weekend. Our citrus is in full bloom and the whole town is filled with the aroma of orange blossoms.

Bette Jo: William Leach Gevedon was the son of Benjamin Gevedon and Mary Ann Leach as you no doubt no. My gg grandmother Margaret Gevedon was his sister. I have the Gevedon family back from Benjamin to Anthony. Do you need any of it? Regards Aaron
