Jim. Let us hope someone comes up with info on the Wheeler family. The Gevedon family has an interesting and exciting history originating in France. The original Gevedon and father of the American Gevedon (and variations of the name) family arrived in the Virginia colonies in 1699. I have a lot of information on the French Huguenots that Anthony Gevaudan arrived with in the colonies and earlier. If you do not have this info and would like it please email be directly. And of course, anyone else on the site that desires this info as well. Regards, Aaron

Yes, This is the first mention of the Gevedons. I do havae some information on them and have had e-mails with some of you. My great-grandfather was William Leach Gevedon. I do have the Gevedon family line going back quite a way. My e-mail is jowhet@aol.com. Bette Jo Gevedon Whetstone

Thanks Sharon. I will keep that as a reference and try to see where (if) it fits!

If, you have not already heard the news, the Kentucky Historical Society is again looking for a new director. As a member of the historical society, and a patron who spends several hours at the facility each week, I'm concerned with the direction the society seems to be taking. A couple of years ago the historical society moved into a new facility which ranks at the top or very near the top of the finest research facilities in the country. Unfortunately, since the move to the new building it appears as though our membership has dropped! In the time that I have been using the library, never once have I seen any mention of the Kentucky Historical Society, its library, or the many services that are provided in ANY of the genealogical magazines that I have and do continue to subscribe too. I have attended conferences, and seminars outside the state in which we should at the very least be represented by a speaker! It seems for whatever reason we are a very well kept secret! Interest in our society needs to be revived! It seems as though the time has come for a director who wants the society to grow and expand. I for one would like to see not only the first floor of the library stack area filled with books, but also the addition of a second floor! The last director was brought in from out of state, which to me doesn't make a lot of sense. It is time that the director of the historical society is a Kentuckian, with knowledge of the history of the state, a vast knowledge of the genealogical holdings within the state, the ability to understand the needs of genealogical, and historical researchers, and the ability to work with our state legislature for the benefit of the society. I wish to nominate Mr. Ron D. Bryant as the new director of the Kentucky Historical Society. Ron D. Bryant not only has seventeen years of experience with the library, is a ninth generation Kentuckian, but is also extremely knowledgeable of the history and genealogical holdings in Kentucky. He is a noted librarian and lecturer on Kentucky, having written over eighty articles, and is the author of Kentucky History - An Annotated Bibliography published in 2000. If Ron D. Bryant becomes director of the historical society, he has stated that he will continue to help patrons with their research in the library. He believes that the director needs to be aware of the patrons needs, and that we must increase our membership. As I mentioned above, I wish to nominate Ron D. Bryant for this position, but I can't do so with your help. If, you agree with me, please send letters to the following gentlemen advising them to name Ron D. Bryant Director of the Kentucky Historical Society: Selection Committee c/o Mr. Walter Baker 917 S. Green Street Glasgow, KY 42141-2086 Selection Committee c/o Mr. Richard L.

Hello, My wife's maiden name was Mary Carolyn Gevedon. Her father, Telford Gevedon was born in Morgan County to Dave Henry Gevedon and Martha Elizabeth Gevedon. Martha's brother Jessie Gevedon married a Grace Wheeler, his second wife. They had several children----Mabel, Betty Joe (Stamper), Arta Ann, plus others----but I don't have dates, or have a complete list of their children. I have no information on the Wheeler's and I am missing lots of data on the Gevedon's. I would like very much to exchange info on the Gevedon's and if possible at least learn Grace Wheeler's parents. Since I have been a member of this group, this is the first reference I have seen re the Gevedon's. So glad that I may hit "pay dirt".

Aaron, "Selections From Morgan County History" by Helen Price Stacy and Wm. Lynn Nickell, page 297, under "The Gevedon Family" has the following: Margaret J. Gevedon; born 1 Nov. 1859, Morgan County, Ky. married John W. W. Wheeler, 1 Jan. 1894. Margaret is listed as the youngest child of 11 children born to Benjamin Gevedon and Mary Ann Leach. There is more information about Margaret's siblings, Benjamin's ancestry, etc... if you think this is the right couple. Let me know and I can scan the pages and send them directly to you as attachments.

Dear Folks - On the Holbrook Subject: I wonder if there was two men named John Wesley Holbrook from Morgan County in the same time frame? I haven't really checked. But . . . My Great Grandmother was Emily Jane Holbrook (whose brother was supposed to be a John Wesley Holbrook) This John Wesley Holbrook had a daughter named Emily Holbrook Salyer. Emily and her brother John Wesley's parents were - Randolph Hargis Holbrook and Elizabeth Holbrook Holbrook. In turn - Randol Hargis Holbrook's parents were John Henry Holbrook and Susannah Back. In turn - John Henry Holbrook's parents were Randolf Holbrook and Elizabeth Adams The similarity of the names involved in the message below and the name John Wesley make me wonder. Maybe I just can't see the connection properly or there is no connection or there is some inaccurate info floating around and I got some of it. Any ideas? I have photos of several of these individuals (not very sharp and clear) - but I would be willing to share. The photos I have are: John Wesley and wife, Emily Holbrook Salyer, Susannah Back and Elizabeth Holbrook Holbrook. I also, have a family photo of Elizabeth Holbrook and her second husband James Farrish. There are numerous children in the photo (probably from both marriages) Unfortunately: I do not have a photo of my great grandmother Emily Jane Holbrook - but she is supposed to look very much like her niece - Emily Holbrook Salyer. After a little more review it would seem that there is no direct connection of the folks listed below and my line except Emily and John Wesley as brother and sister. Oh well.

Lisa Patrick > Thanks Lisa. My gg grandfather William (Billy) Adams (born in 1802) married Elizabeth Williams (born 1818?), In Morgan County (not sure of the date). I know very little about her family. She had a brother named John who was a Union Officer in the Civil War. Her father may have been named Isaac. Billy Adams later founded Adamsville in what was to become McGoffin County, the town later renamed Salyersville. Their daughter, Minerva Adams (b Morgan County Jun 22, 1835) married Samuel Williams, my great grand father. Two Williams families represented here. Thanks Lisa for any info.
