>From NESBITOLOGY, Newsletters 6-9, Otis B. Nesbit, Nesbitt/Nisbet Society, United Kingdom, Publication No. 10, Cambridge, 1995: THOMAS NESBIT Rev. W.C. Rogers in Recollections of Men of Faith, Christian Pub. Co., 1889, quotes Rev. John Rogers as writing, "In the meantime, the church at Concord and Carlisle, (Ky.) having no regular settled preacher, urged me to come and settle among them. I accepted their invitation, and in the fall of 1823 sold out my little property at Ruddell's Mills, Bourbon Co., Ky., and moved to the vicinity of Carlisle, Kentucky, and spent the winter of 1823-24 in an upper room of the house now (1862) occupied by our Sister Sims. The house and farm connected with it then belonging to the venerable Thomas Nesbit, who but recently died in Indiana full of years and honors. He was indeed a remarkable man. My family then consisted of a wife and one young child. Father and mother Nesbit and the family took us into their home and gave us the exclusive use of one of the upper rooms, and a place to keep my horse until spring. I can never forget the kindness of that family. Sister Nesbit was an excellent woman, a mother in Israel, an Israelite indeed. Thomas Nesbit was the leading spirit in the Church at Concord and Carlisle. He was universally beloved and respected. Though uneducated in the popular sense of that word, he was possessed of remarkable natural endowments, and deeply read in the Holy Scriptures. He had fine judgement, a great share of common sense, and piety without moroseness; Christian dignity, with childlike simplicity; cheerfulness, without levity. Eternity only will reveal the obligations of this church to him under God, during the long period of his connection with it. He also did a great deal in building up and sustaining the church at Richland, Indiana. He was a man who by the grace of God, had remarkable control of his temper. During a long and very intimate acquaintance with him, I never saw him out of temper. He was the soul of the prayer-meetings, taking the lead, and interspersing the exercises with brief, spirited, and sensible exhortations. He was often sent for to visit the sick, and to hold prayer-meetings in different neighborhoods, having the confidence of all who new him. A characteristic anecdote will close what I have to say, in passing, of this man. In the early settlement of this country, some sixty years ago, there were light-fingered persons as well as now, who occasionally helped themselves, under cover of the night, to articles belonging to their neighbors. One night, Father Nesbit came upon a neighbor, suddenly, in his corn-crib, filling his bag with corn. He would have gladly escaped detection, but it was impossible. His neighbor was upon him; he was known. He helped him fill his bag, and helped him with it on to his horse, and then gave him a kind lecture, and urged him to reform. Said he, 'If you are at any time in need, come to me and I will divide with you'". (The above book was presented to me by my brother, Samuel A. Nesbit while visiting him in July, 1938, at Richmond, California. I have copied the above as several descendants of Thomas are anxious for news about him.

Fellow researchers, I've had a few messages helping me discover some of the "typos" on my Bourbon County Marriages--1786-1800 list. Thanks gang! I encourage notes of this sort. Also, if you know for sure that your ancestors werre married in Bourbon County during these dates, please e-mail me with their names and dates (formatted like the list) and I will include them with special notations. As an example, my 4th great grandparents, John Shawhan and Margaret McCune, were married in Bourbon County, October 24, 1793. I have their Marriage Bond as proof. However, they were not on the Kentucky Historical Society's list. I will include their names with the notation of the marriage bond. Bob -- Bob Francis, 1920A Butner St., Ft.
