To one and all, The following people have taken the unclaimed Perrin books: Lisa Repose Sandra Bagwell Carl Morgan Kathleen Burnett I only wish that I had more books to offer but this closes out my list.

Flemingsburg Democrat Nov. 25, 1869 to Jan. 20, 1870 Elizabeth Smith lizsmith@setel.com http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lizsmith/index.html "There was a young fellow of excellent pith, Fate tried to obscure him by naming him Smith." --Oliver Wendell Holmes Thursday, Nov. 25, 1869 Married-At the residence of Thomas D. Byrum, Esq., of Nicholas co., Ky., on the 16th of November, 1869, by Rev. John B. Ewan, Mr. John Burns, of Nicholas county, Ky., to Mrs. Letetia Wade, of Cincinnati, O. - -------------------------------------- Thursday, Dec. 2, 1869 Found Dead-A negro named Anthony Green was found dead in his bed one morning last week. He had attended a wedding the night before and retired apparently in good health. His brother was sleeping with him.-Mays. Eagle MARRIAGES At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Dennis Belt, on Tuesday morning, Nov. 30th, 1869, by Elder E. B. Challenner, Mr. B. F. Bollinger, of Maysville, Ky., to Miss Matilda Belt. - -------------------------------------- Thursday, January 13, 1870 A HORRIBLE AFFAIR A Man Strikes his Wife in the Head with an Ax and then Hangs Himself We learn that on Friday morning last, that Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, a wealthy farmer living near Sharpsburg in Bath county, assaulted his wife with an ax, striking her on the head inflicting a terrible wound which will probably cause her death. Bradshaw supposing that the lick he had struck had killed her, immediately secured a rope and hung himself dead. There are various rumours afloat as to the cause of this deed of blood, but as we know nothing of the truth of any of them, we decline to publish them.-Mr. B. and his present wife had only been married a few weeks, he being a widower and the father of a large and interesting family of children at the time of the marriage. He was a man of considerable wealth and is said to have possesssed an uncontrolable temper, when he got mad; his madness amounted to insanity. It is supposed that he was in this condition when the awful tragedy was committed. At last accounts his wife still lingers in an insensible condition and the chance for her recovery are decidedly against her. This is indeed a shocking affair and one deeply to be deplored by the public. Certainly, the causes which lend a man to commit such a crime as this in his own household must be great or he is a maniac. In fact, we do not think that any reasonable excuse could be made for so damnable an act. Mr. B. we understand was in the neighborhood of eighty-years of age. - -------------------------------------- January 13, 1870 Murder On the 31st ult, a quiet inoffensive old citizen was killed by Wm. Guinnett at Cain's old tavern in this county. John Waller vends poisoned whiskey at this place, and on the day named a large crowd had assembled and were drinking and carousing. Guinnett had stated in the morning that he intended to kill somebody that day, but named no one. There was no difficulty so far as we can learn between him and his victim, nor was old man Payne drunk. Without cause or provocation, he was shot down and died in ten minutes. As soon as the intelligence was brought to town, a warrant of arrest was issued for Guinnett, and Capt. Tipton started immediately for him, but after thoroughly scouring the neighborhood was unable to find him. So far as we gather the facts, the killing was cold blooded and atrocious, and the murderer deserves to be hunted down with the full power of the law.-Mt. Ster. Sentinel. - -------------------------------------- January 20, 1870 Another Patriot Gone-Caleb Morris, a soldier of the war of 1812, died on th 6th last, in Bourbon county, in the 80th year of his age. Died.-Alexander Miller, the oldest of the large and influential family of Millers, of Millersburg, died on Thursday, the 6th instant. Drowned.-Neal Murphy while crossing Licking river at Lair's on Monday 10th inst. Broke through the ice and was drowned.

Hello, After some time away I am back on the list and working on another lead in my hunt for information on JANE BOWLES SHANKS and her husband ROBERT T. SHANKS. In reviewing the pension papers that Jane filed for a pension based on her son WILLIAM SYLVESTER SHANKS' war service and death in 1864 at Andersonville, I find the names of JOHN S. RANKIN and NICHOLAS A. RANKIN of NICHOLAS COUNTY. They swear that they were personally acquainted with ROBERT T. SHANKS and his wife JANE, and that they know that ROBERT left the family in about 1846-7 (supposedly to enlist in the army, and fight in the Mexican War. He was at this time about 47-8 years of age, so suspect he just deserted them and this was the cover story). Robert never turned up again to the knowledge of anyone who knew him. What I am trying to figure out is where the RANKIN'S lived in about 1846-7. I have not been able to find anything on the SHANKS, but hope working from this angle might uncover something. Can anyone help? Dolores panzer@elknet.net

To one and all, The Perrin books should arrive at my house on or about August 16. It will take at least a week to package and ship the books so expect them to arrive at your door sometime after August 23--probably more like August 30. For those who have not yet sent your money, time is running out. If I do not hear from you one way by tomorrow evening, I will assume that you are no longer interested in the book. I will then take your name off the list and open it up to other interested buyers. Check my website at http://www.shawhan.com/update.html to see if you are one of my "tardy" folks. -- Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft. Eustis, VA 23604 Visit My Home Page: http://www.shawhan.com

I am searching for information on William Tolliver who lived in Nicholas County according to the 1900 census. His wife was listed as Louisa (?)(writing was faint). Children were Arthur, Herbert, Early, and Robert. He also had a neice, Catherine, staying with him at this time. William was 36 years old and Louisa was 34. This was at Buzzards Roost. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kay Tolliver Barnes Surnames: Tolliver Kenney Feeback Wagoner

Good afternoon all of you newcomers to the list... I usually send out private Welcome leters to each as you subscribe to the lists.. but I am on vacation and using my sons computer and so stay off of it as much as possible so will be doing it this way for the duration.. WELCOME to the list, Please introduce yourself & submit your queries (those of you who haven't) to the list, not to me. :) Hopefully some one on the list will be able to assist you in your search and perhaps you can be of help to some one else..... Remember these are very small counties and most every one is related to about every one else..... Have a great week and happy hunting.. Jeannie <>< Jeannie <><=20

I apologize for using the e-mail for this but (I am embarrassed to say) I lost one of the checks sent to me for the Perrin book. The person who sent the check is named Roush. I remember that the check was from a genealogical society somewhere in Ohio. Please contact me. Thanks, Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft. Eustis, VA 23604 Visit My Home Page: http://www.shawhan.com

Peggy, I also wanted to tell you that I will keep your letter in my file so if I happen to come across anything that I might feel I should get in touch with you. THANKS Donna

Peggy, I have not been successful and finding anything on Fitzpatrick as yet. Willaim Ellis who I know died in Bracken County and is buried in the old Ellis Cemetery. One researcher that I have got in touch with said that Freelone and William moved to Indiana. William moved back to Bracken County without Freelone which I suspect maybe died in Indiana. William also had the children with him. He remarried to a Malinda Whitley in 1837 in Harrison County. I think that at one time he was in Nicholas County. He is hard to follow. Thank you for you reply to my letter. Donna

Donna,Where are your Fitzpatricks from? I have mine traced from Va. starting in 1754 to Ky in 1798. They lived mostly in Nicholas Co. I have never heard of who you asked about. I have a lot more info on mine if you want it. Thanks Peggy Fitzpatrick Selch.
