Hi Everyone, I'm Linda and I've just joined...I'm interested in the surnames of Kimmel and Morris in Muhlenberg Co. Thanks, Linda

Hi, Linda. Welcome to the Muhlenberg County group! My roots in Muhlenberg County go back to 1803 (Wilkins). Both of my parents (Leahman Ray Nelson and Ida Frances Wilkins) were Muhlenberg County natives. I remember both sides of the family talking about the Kimmels, especially those who lived in Drakesboro. I have one Kimmel in my family tree -- but not as my direct descendant. Here's how: My mother's maternal grandparents were Warner Taylor Cardwell and Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Lewis. They had 5 children: Jeanneta, Nellie, Golda Mae (my grandmother), James Marion, and Gertrude. Jeanneta married Dan Kimmel. My notes say they had 10 children, but I have not searched for names. They were among my mother's many first cousins. I'd be pleased to receive any additional info you can share on this Kimmel family -- or anything you might have about other Muhlenberg County names I'm researching: Wilkins, Cardwell, Roark, Lewis, Jarvis, Millard, Ingram, Diver, Nelson, Davis, Griffith. Thanks.

I've not run across Dan and Jeanneta Kimmel in my research but that doesn't mean there is no connection...I'll keep looking. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fran Salyers" <fallingoaks@mac.com> To: <KYMUHLEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [KYMUHLEN] kimmel...morris > Hi, Linda.

Can I jump in here...................one of my gr gr gr grandmothers was named Cinderilla Wilkins from No Carolina and she was married to either my Anthony or Barfield relatives who moved into Muhl Co very early on. I just came across this info last year but have done no research on this. However, Cinderilla still stands out as one of those unique names. She was a Wilkins..................think this is on my Barfield side..............she married a Barfield side and they were intermarried with the Reno's..........Cinderilla had a daughter named Catherine Barfield, nickname was Kitsey................so if anyone runs across those names, let me know.

Dear Linda, Welcome to the Muhlenberg County List. I think you will find this one of the most friendly and helpful Lists of all. Relative to your KIMMELS, I have searched Muhlenberg County records for many years, and I can tell you that KIMMELS go back to the very beginning of this county. I have noted early 1800 Kimmel marriages and other documents that involve Kimmels.as well. Can you be more specific as to exactly what information you are looking for? What are the names, dates and relationships of the KIMMEL and MORRIS individuals you are looking for in Muhlenberg County? By supplying that information you are more likely to get information that will be more useful to you. Best of luck to you in your research!
