Thank you very much. I have made that note on my copy. Kay

Hi, Does anyone on this list have any information regarding Isaac HOPKINS or his bride Jane KINCAID? They married Aug 21, 1819 in Nicholas Co. KY. Any information would be appreciated. Hoping to find a connection to my HOPKINS. Thanks, Carolyn

Jacob Eaton first appears on the 1795 "First Census" in Mason County, KY and through 1807. That portion of the county where he lived became a part of Nicholas County when it was formed in 1808. According to a biographical sketch of Jacob's grandson, Rev. Harrison Eaton, published in "History of Shelby County, Missouri, 1911", p. 307, " Jacob Eaton was a native of England, whence he came to America when a young man, becoming an early settler of Kentucky, and later coming to Missouri where he passed the closing years of his life." The biographical sketch of Jacob's grandson, Rev. John Eaton, published in the same history, p. 976, Jacob Eaton immigrated into Kentucky from the State of Tennessee (unproven). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Judy Martin nanajudy1@uswest.net

This is really off the wall as far as connected facts are concerned, but....a Joseph A. Hopkins married a Margaret Murphy in Nicholas Co. on or about 28 Sep 1812.

Sep 3 Daniel Snapp, 21, Nicholas Co. to Angelina Shaw, 18, Nicholas Co. Nov 6 Thomas C. Clay, 21, Nicholas Co. to Margant (?) S.

The writing was very small and sometimes the names were hard to make out. I hope this helps someone. I also have a list of names on the Nicholas Co. Birth Register for selected years if anyone desires them. Years 1852, 1855, 1856, 1858. Kay

Jeannie, That was certainly worth reading. I began my search last Jan. and have learned so much! In fact, I have learned enough to know that I still have A LOT TO LEARN! However, I have been blessed with a dear friend who is an experienced genealogist who is editing my data and putting it on a "floppy disk(?)" for me. He gently makes suggestions on where to search and gently chastises me if I forget to do something I should have known better. His help is priceless as well as his friendship. I would not be anywhere as far along in my endeavor without his guidance. Many have also kindly helped on the internet, but I do go back and get my own "proof". The thrill is there each time you make a "find". The time and energy you, and other list managers put in to this task should not be ignored either. I am truly blessed by having two great sources of help and information. Kay

My HOPKINS, COLLINS came from MD/DE to Bourbon, Nicholas, and Fleming KY. Do you want details and family groups, also.

His father is supposedly Joseph HOPKINS,who was a well-known lawyer.Joseph died sometime between 1821-1827. His wf. Jane married a farmer named PETERS,and the family moved to Rush County,IN. Renee. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Not sure if my James James was there by 1795. He bought the land that he had been living on from Moses Mitchell in 1797. I have no idea when he arrived. They originally came from S. C. but had been in Pa. Malinda James

I am looking for anyone related to Robert and Rebecca Ward Brierly, they both were born around 1848 in Robertson County. My grandmother is Anna E. Brierly Skeen.

Jacob HAM entered a deed in the March court of 1793 for 1000 acres "on the waters of the Hinkston fork of the Licking in the County of Bourbon." Jacob and his family came from Berkeley County , Virginia (now West Virginia). This land is on the Jackstown Road just inside Nicholas County near the boundary with Bourbon. To Marla M (the orginator of this query)...Nicholas County was formed on June 1, 1800 from Mason and Bourbon Counties.

Perrin does mention a Joseph HOPKINS, but as a school teacher near Mt. Pisgah Church in the county in 1815. Fledgling lawyers many times paid their way by teaching school while 'reading' the law.

Carolyn, Perrin's 'History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison & Nicholas Counties' lists members of Nicholas Co legal profession in the 1816-1820 era as: R. W. Weber, Angus C. McCoy, Thomas P. Tall, Robert C. Hall, Jonathan M. Tanner, & General A. S. Hughes. Some careful reading might produce more names. It seems the prerequisites for the shingle were the ability to read the English language & to READ the LAW with an established practice for an undetermined time.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/cook.htm this is great read.. I would advise all to at least glance at it..... and hopefully LEARN from it.. tho you may not agree with it, it is surely true. Jeannie <><

Chuck, It makes sense that our Joseph was a teacher also. His son Milton Hopkins left home at the age of 15 (after leaving to Rush Co, IN with his Mother after the death of his father) to 'get' an education when his stepfather refused to help him with his education. Milton became a lawyer, a teacher and a minister. Now I need to be able to find more information on this Joseph and find a connection. I have been unable to find birth records for Milton but do know through Bible records he was born in Nicholas Co. in 1821. This may be our man!!! Thank you so much. Carolyn

Chuck, Thank you for reply. It may mean then, that my lawyer Joseph HOPKINS may have been a practicing lawyer from another county. I will check my local Historical Society and library for a copy of the book you mention. Thanks again, Carolyn

Hi mine were Daniel Soesbe and his brother Thomas Soesbe the family came from Surry Co. Va to Washington Co., Pa and the 2 brothers came to Bath Co.,KY and then later to Nicholas Co.,KY.. Thomas married Judith Avery and stayed in Nicholas Co. and Daniel came to Indiana. I'm not sure if they were in the Blue Licks area though. Janet Franklin Resent-Sender: KYNICHOL-L-request@rootsweb.com I would appreciate a roll call by researchers whose ancestors were in the Lower Blue Licks area of Mason (Nicholas) County by 1795, and where they migrated from, if known. Any surname. Since families migrated in groups, maybe a few patterns will emerge that can point me and others in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone know where I might find information on someone that was a lawyer in the early 1800s. What was required of someone in this field back then? Would it be possible that those records might be kept somewhere? I would appreciate any help on this; hoping to find some unanswered questions about a lawyer, Joseph HOPKINS that died in the 1820's. Thanks, Carolyn
