Sarah Walker, mentioned below was married to James Walker, also mentioned below. James Walker was her 2nd husband and he died before she did. Her 1st husband was Thomas Combs. Her maiden name was Anderson. Both Sarah and Thomas Combs were in Nelson County before coming to Muhlenberg Co. Sarah was the daughter of Arabella (maiden name unproven) Anderson and Unknown (probably John) Anderson. Arabella Anderson, a widow, received a land grant for 200 acres in KY in 1783 in what is now Hardin Co, then Jefferson Co. She was one of the earliest to receive a grant in KY, according the records found on early land grants. Patrick Henry, then the Gov of Virginia signed her grant. Sarah's 2 sisters also made their home in Muhlenberg Co. Her sister Alice (Alsey) married a David Evans who was also in Nelson Co before coming to Muhlenberg Co. Her sister Patience married a Matthew Ward, also in Nelson and they too moved to Muhlenberg Co. A John Anderson mentioned in the court matters referenced below is by best evidence, her brother. It appears from court records that it took several years to settle both the Combs and Walker estates. Arabella, her mother was married 2nd to a John Ash and 3rd to a John Sturgeon in Nelson Co. I know almost nothing else about James Walker. According to records he died before April 1816, but I have not found where he nor Sarah were buried. Sarah died around February 1819. Her 1st husband Thomas Combs died by January 1807. She married James Walker in Muhlenberg Co, 23 April 1809. I believe the below court proceedings and other information indicated that Sarah did not want to apprentice her children as prescribed by either law or common occurrence, after the death of her 1st husband, Thomas Combs. Her brother John made the claim that she wasn't doing the right thing by them. The court did take custody of the children and they were bound out to learn a trade. If anyone has other information on James Walker, I would love to talk to you. There were also close ties with the Whitmer, Evans, Frost, Combs, Anderson, Scott, Short, Spurrier & Poage families here. Several of these families came to Muhlenberg Co from Botetourt and Augusta Co, VA along with other closely associated families such as the Noffsinger's & others. They lived near and around the Bremen and Sacramento areas and Cypress Creek. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Purcell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 9:17 PM Subject: [KYMUHLEN] Pannell, Mitchell, Walker > To Don Summers: > > Only mention of Pannell is in story re Ebenezer Baptist Church: early > minister was W.

Richard, I don't believe I have your George or George Frederick Miller, however I have a Martin Miller, Sr. who married Catharine Whitmer in Botetourt Co, VA on 8 January 1808. They later removed to Muhlenberg Co, KY . Catharine Whitmer was daughter of John Whitmer and Catharine Tarwater (best evidence). (Just a note: The David Short (son of Jacob Short) you mention in your previous message was also from Botetourt Co, VA as was his wife Jane Scott (daughter of Nathan Scott & Sarah Poage) There is a picture of David Short's house in the History of Muhlenberg Co by Otto Rothert.) It appears that a number of the families around Bremen (to include the Shaver's) were from Botetourt Co, VA. They all appear in the records of Muhlenberg within a few short years of each other. Perhaps they were all neighbors in VA...I just haven't found a connection to your George yet. History of Muhlenberg Co - Otto Rothert - Jacob and Martin Miller (this would be Martin, Jr.), who married Lucinda and Bethena Kittinger, were sons of pioneer Martin Miller, Sr., who was a brother of Henry Miller, the great-grandfather of F. Marion Miller of Bremen. ( I don't know if Martin Miller, Sr. had other siblings in Muhlenberg Co or not and I haven't researched any further in Botetourt Co.) I hope this helps you some. It might give you a direction to look. Martin Miller, Jr. married Bethena Kittinger and they had a son that they named George born about 1848. There is evidence that they may have removed to Texas. Will - Martin Miller (This would be Martin, Sr), will of Muhlenberg Co, KY dated October 13, 1862. To sons John, Jacob, Michael, David and Martin, to daughter Rebecca Phillips, to granddaughter Mary Catherine Stewart, to daughter Sarah Miller, also named Executrix, Witnesses: John M. Shaver and William H. Sparks.
