Hello, I am new to this list. There was a message posted a while back on the Livingston Co mailing list that mentions a Thomas/Bridges/Calhoun link. I am wondering if anyone on this list is researching these lines or has further information concerning them? I have been recently researching Thomas/Bridges families out of Trigg Co from early 1800's that had members that wound up in Jasper Co, MS in the 1830's and 40's. The reason I am looking into this is that the primary target of research is a Judge Henry Calhoon, who was listed on Jasper Co, MS fed census years 1840, 50, 60, and 70 with POB listed as KY. He had a business association with a Dr William B Dozier (listed POB KY on the census) - Henry Calhoon being the lawyer part and apparently Dr Dozier being the money part of this arrangement. Several hundred acres of land according to the BLM information. Additionally, both Calhoon and Dozier were Masons, joining the Paulding (Jasper Co, MS) lodge in 1843. There were Thomas and Bridges members in this lodge at the time, and both Bridges and Thomas were in positions of public service in the early days of the formation of Jasper Co, MS. William Dozier married Lavina Russell in Union Co, KY before coming to MS. He is listed in the 1830 KY census as living in the Cadiz area of Trigg county. My understanding of the Thomas/Bridges lines out of Trigg Co is that there was a family of Thomas and another one of Bridges moved there both from NC, and once in Trigg Co three of the children of each family married children of the other family, so there were triple sets of cousins out of this mix. In looking into the state and county formation dates, in 1788 KY was still part of VA, with the area of the present Livingston, Christian, Trigg, etc. being part of Lincoln Co, VA. In 1792 when KY split from VA this area of the state was in Logan Co as it was then. In 1797 Christian Co was the first to form out of Logan to encompass this corner of the state, except for the Jackson Purchase counties that came later. In 1799 Livingston and Henderson formed out of Christian. Then in 1807 Hopkins, and in 1811 Union formed, both out of where Henderson was. In 1809 Caldwell formed from where parts of Livingston and Christian had been, and in 1820 Trigg formed from where parts of Caldwell and Christian were. More counties formed out of these later of course, but as can be seen the tax rolls may indicate movement from county to county, but in fact looking at a map of these changes there would not have been any need for movement to get counted in several counties over the years. Just staying in one spot could have done that easily! Point being that the same group of Thomas/Bridges listed in Livingston Co in 1810 would not have had to move far, if at all to be listed in the Trigg Co census in 1820. This may also apply to the family of Patrick Calhoon that is shown in the 1810 Livingston Co census as having 2 sons 10 or under, and 2 daughters 10 or under, with the head being 26 to 44, and the wife being 16 to 25. There have been some folks listing this Patrick as the son of Ezekiel Calhoun of Abbeyville, SC - one of the brothers of Patrick Calhoun that was the father of John Caldwell Calhoun, the former VP and statesman from SC. Other sources indicate this Patrick in Livingston Co, KY may be the son of Ezekiel, son of Hugh, son of William - again a brother to Patrick, father of John C Calhoun. It is significant to the line that I am researching that there be a KY/SC connection to one of the brothers of Patrick, father of John C Calhoun due to the family tradition pasted from the granddaughter of Judge Henry Calhoun of Jasper Co, MS, Susie Calhoon Holcomb, who stated in a letter to her daughter, "Doll" Holcomb, that their line of Calhouns were from one of the brothers of Patrick, father of John C Calhoun out of SC. The KY part is from the above indicated census information concerning Judge Henry Calhoun of Jasper Co, MS. Some researchers that have placed material on the web at various genealogy sites indicate that the Patrick Calhoon (note double o spelling) in Livingston Co, KY is the same Patrick that married Eleanor Pickens and had four children by her, beginning in 1811 and going to 1826 or thereabouts. They list as children of this marriage that supposedly took place ca 1810 as: James C Calhoun b 25 JUL 1811 -- Marion, Livingston Co, KY m Mary Elizabeth BOLES marriage date cited as 3 FEB 1842. There were children by this marriage, but I will not list them at this time. Elizabeth b ABT. 1815 -- Marion, Livingston Co, Kentucky m Robert HUGHEY about 1818 children : Ellen HUGHEY b ABT. 1820 -- Dyer Hills, Livingston Co, Kentucky Mariah HUGHEY b ABT. 1822 -- Dyer Hills, Livingston Co, Kentucky James K. HUGHEY b 27 MAR 1827 -- Dyer Hills, Livingston Co, Kentucky Jane b ABT. 1820 -- Marion, Livingston Co, Kentucky m William Jordan FLOURNEY marriage date cited as ABT. 1834. Again, there were children by this marriage, but I will not list them at this time. Ezekiel E. CALHOUN b 1826 -- Marion, Livingston Co, Kentucky m Laura Annice DAVIS marriage date cited as 17 OCT 1860. And, once again, there were children by this marriage, but I will not list them at this time. Now this information has some obvious problems. The most glaring is that Elizabeth, if actually born in 1815, is being married around 3 and having her first child at 5 years of age, her second at 7 and her third at the ripe old age of 12. Additionally there is a marriage listed in the Livingston Co marriage records of an Elizabeth Ann Calhoun to a Robert HUCY, 1822. This most likely was the couple later known as HUGHEY. It would seem more reasonable that this Elizabeth is one of the 2 daughters listed in the 1810 census in the family of Patrick Calhoon, her birth being closer to 1800 than 1810, making her a child of a prior marriage if the information that Patrick Calhoon married Eleanor Pickens ca 1810. Of course the information as to that marriage date may not be accurate either. Otherwise, if the marriage date for Patrick Calhoon and Eleanor Pickens is near correct, then this census listing in Livingston Co, KY in 1810 could be accounted for by the fact that there was supposedly a Patrick Calhoun married to an Eleanor Baskin ca 1786 back in Abbeyville, SC and the set of children of that marriage may be those listed in the 1810 census. Eleanor Baskin was supposedly the granddaughter of William Gabriel Pickens (who did come to Livingston Co, KY), who was also likely the father of Eleanor B Pickens - so Eleanor Pickens was the younger aunt of Eleanor Baskin - maybe. This same line of Pickens had an older son name William as well as the younger son named William Gabriel Pickens. Point is, the same Patrick Calhoon may have married them both, having first moved from Abbeyville, SC to Livingston Co, KY with his young family where tragedy struck with the death of his wife, Eleanor Baskin, but all was not lost as he found a help met in the form of his wife's younger relative, Eleanor Pickens, who may have been there to help with the children and nurse the failing health of the first wife. A good story perhaps, but is there more documentation to back it up? The family of Eleanor B Calhoun is found in the 1830 Mc Cracken Co, KY census. Does anyone have this information handy? If so, perhaps you could send along the listing, preferably an attached scan of the page directly to me (top_side@geocities.com - under 1 mb, please), but a transcription would be most helpful too. If more than 3 children are listed it would go a long way towards at least circumstantial evidence for the possibility that Henry Calhoon came out of this family group. Also in 1830 in Greene Co, KY is another Eleanor Calhoon, with a Henry Calhoon listed on the index as being on on the next page of the census. There is a possibility that this is the first wife, and she is raising her children in Green Co, but there is no proof of anything of that sort, just the names Eleanor and Henry in association together. Again, a scan of this information would be appreciated, but a transcription would be very useful as well. Mentioned in the post that spawned this message is the question of the reasons for the migration of the Bridges/Thomas families out of NC. I don't know for certain but many families were coming to get land and also there was a climate of suppression of some points of view expressed from ministers of at least the Presbyterian faith at the time. It seems that Patrick CALHOON was not among the HENRY and DICKEY folks that came in a migration out of SC in the early 1800's to settle near the Hurricane Creek and Crooked Creek area of the then Livingston Co, later to become part of Crittenden Co, though he may have come with some of the same motivations. He got a 200a grant in 1799, near the time of the formation of the county, and again another 200 later, and more later still. A John Calhoon also got a 50a grant in 1803 I think, but he was not there by the time of the 1810 census, at least as far as the census indicated - but he may have moved to Ohio Co where a John Calhoon was later married. Some of the family lines I have researched prior to this in Livingston Co, KY (HENRY and DICKEY) may have also come for reasons other than land, as back in SC, and NC as well, at around the end of the Revolution some of the Presbyterian ministers were preaching an anti-slavery message that may have caused friction within that social setting. Later, after coming to KY both the HENRY line and associated DICKEY line produced ministers. My understanding of the migration was that a Jones guided the settlers to KY, and some of them left with him later to settle in Giles and Franklin Counties in TN and later in Lawrence Co, AL - where he settled the "Russell's Valley" area. In Livingston Co, KY in the 1820 census the index lists a Jethro Calhoon. I have not as yet been able to get access to the microfilm to check this family. Is there any chance that you have that information? In the post there was mention that there are Calhoun connections to the line of Bridges that were being looked into. Can anyone verify that or elaborate? Is there perhaps mention of the Patrick, John, Jethro, Ezekiel, Hugh or Henry - Calhoon or Calhoun, Cahoon or other derivative names in any of the research into these lines in KY? Since I found Patrick Calhoon on the 1810 census, I have not found him listed again. If anyone has access to the Livingston, Crittenden, Christian, Mc Cracken, or Trigg Co tax, court or other records to see if he may be found in one of those or some other county in KY in the years between 1810 and 1830 it would also be greatly appreciated.

Cemetery relocation still opposed Descendants say they'll hire a lawyer if plan stands 11 January 2001 By David Blackburn Messenger-Inquirer BEAVER DAM -- From talking to county officials to hiring an attorney, relatives of those buried in Rogers Cemetery want to keep the 60-grave site from being relocated from an area slated for a five-county industrial park. Regardless, "It's going to be challenged," said descendant Martha Thompson of Beaver Dam, referring to the Ohio Fiscal Court's resolution to declare the three-tenths-acre site abandoned. The fiscal court's resolution, which became final Dec. 21, allows the Green River Regional Industrial Development Authority to relocate the graves at the authority's expense. The authority is developing 1,160 acres just south of the intersection of the Natcher and Western Kentucky parkways into the Bluegrass Crossings Business Centre, which will serve Ohio, Muhlenberg, Daviess, Hancock and McLean counties. Thompson's sister, Ruth Utley of Hartford, and their brother, William Peters of Pleasant Ridge, said they plan to attend today's fiscal courtmeeting to see if the magistrates will change their minds. The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Ohio Circuit Courtroom on the third floor of the Ohio County Community Center. "If we can't get them to rescind their votes, then there's going to be something done," Thompson said. "The first process would have to be to hire a lawyer." Ruth Utley said the descendants plan to meet to discuss a course of action once the weather allows safe traveling. "We're hoping that the fiscal court will clear the decision up for us," Peters said. "I'm hoping they can work something out that will be acceptable to both parties," said Utley's husband, Reginald. But Lonnie Hawes, magistrate of District 2, which includes the site of the industrial park, doesn't expect the issue to come up -- or to change. Although some work has been done at the cemetery over the years, the site and the access road leading to it have not been well-maintained, and neither is on most maps, Hawes said. If maintenance had been done, he said he would have opposed the relocation. Jobs are needed in Ohio County, Hawes added, and he's not going to change his mind about the relocation if it costs the county jobs. In his discussions about the issue with several descendants, Hawes said he has pointed out a recent show of support by the Beaver Dam City Council. The council voted Monday to go on record supporting the fiscal court's resolution. Hawes said the county will make sure the relocation is done properly. "We're not going out there . . . and let them scrape off a little dirt and say,'That's it.' It's going to be done right or it's not going to be done." Hawes said he is not unsympathetic to the descendants. "I understand their problem. I feel sorry for the people," he said, adding that he would prefer to have his relatives buried somewhere with easy access. "But we cannot stop progress out there."

It makes little sense to move a small cemetery plot for an industrial park. All over the world cemeteries have been protected and preserved. Entire cities and extensive military reservations have been built around cemetery plots without destroying them. Three soldiers who fought for Kentucky and the United States are buried in the cemetery. All it would take to preserve it would be several hundred feet of chain link fence wire. My thoughts.

There is an article in today's Messenger-Inquirer newspaper (for those of the list that is not local). It is titled "Cemetery relocation still opposed." It is about the ROGERS Cemetery in BeaverDam, KY. There is a wonderful picture of Asa W. DAVIDSON headstone. It dates Sept. 2, 1841 - Oct. 27 1906 Third Ky Cavalry Co. F. http://www.messenger-inquirer.com/news/kentucky/2615549.htm This should be the correct URL for the article. If it does not work, please let me know and I can email you the article directly from the paper. If any one is on the ROGERS OR DAVIDSON surname list, can you please for this to the list. I hope this helps someone. Good Luck, Nadine

Hi All! First of all, I am going to be in Ohio Co later on this week, if the weather cooperates. Can anyone living in or around Ohio Co tell me what the weather forecast is for Wednesday and Thursday? I can' really tell from the weather channel and I just want to know about snow and ice and if the roads will be passable. Thanks. Also I was hoping someone could give me some advice as to where the best research libraries or history organizations are for OHIO Co, for VERY EARLY research. My eldest Jesse Cravens was appointed one of the original JP's in Ohio county when it was first formed. He was also on the origianl board for the Hartford Academy. The lines that I am working on (Cravens and Tarlton) were only here basically from abt 1798 to about 1836. The Tarlton's may have been gone even before that! I know that there was SOME association with Hardin Co for the Tarlton's (perhaps just because of the change in County lines) and I think perhaps Jesse was in Lincoln co, abt 1790 - 1798 (before Ohio Co was formed). ANYWAY, any research tips or area tips or weather tips ;?) would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year and THANKS everybody! Nanc

Happy New Year! I hope this next year will be fruitful to all of us in filling those blanks in our research with the names, dates, and places associated with our ancestors. Best wishes for happiness, good health, and a wonderful New Year. A little card from me to you is waiting at the following URL: http://userweb.springnet1.com/quest/NEWYEARCARD2.html Karima I apologize to those of you who will receive duplicates of this greeting!
