In a message dated 10/2/98 2:48:08 PM Central Daylight Time, rmhc@bigsky.net writes:<< There are many names such as Smith, King, >> I have KINGS in my family it's my 3rd Great Grandmother Salena "Sally" King b 1812 NC married Alanson Blackburn in Bracken Co., KY 1827. Her father according to the marriage records was Joseph King does this sound like they might belong to your KING family? On the SMITH family, we have a lot of our CLIFTON boys marring SMITH girls, I am interested in connecting these girls to their families. The only real clue to one of the girls I have her father will and it names her (Nancy Clifton daughter) this is the will of John SMITH 9/6/1833 Owen Co his wife was Nancy and other children names in the will were: Elizabeth, Sally, Betsey, Jane and John Jr. Any connection. Barbara

My main surname in Owen County is SMITH and HICKS. Searching for information on my gggrandparents, William SMITH b. 1847, and wife Lucy HICKS b. 1848. They had 4 sons, Callie Smith b. 1871, Elonsa (Lonzo) Smith b. 1874, Eddie Smith b. 1879, and James Smith b. after 1880. Found the family in the 1880 Owen County, KY census, (Owenton Dist # 1). William was born in NC, Lucy and boys all born in KY. Family says William was all or part Cherokee Indian, (wen't by Bill Big Knife), however, listed as "white" on census. Have pictures of boys, they were dark complected. Cannot find family on any other census reports, cannot locate a marriage record, no luck with Cherokee roles, either. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Dayna Ryan from Xenia, OH

---------- > I am researching the Purvis and Spurr family of Owen county, Kentucky and anyone with a link to the family. John Spurr and his wife, America Devore, were married in Clark county, Kentucky around the year 1829. They moved to Owen county by the mid 1850s and lived in the Gratz area. They had 13 children. John died about 1861. America was still alive in 1900 when she was living with her daughters family, Mahula Sharp. Dudley Spurr, a son of John and America, married Mary "Polly" Purvis around the year 1860. Mary was the daughter of Samual Purvis and Nancy Rutherford that had moved to the Gratz area of Owen county around the mid 1850s. No record of Mary and Dudley's marriage. A mystery involves there daughter, Nancy Ellen. She is listed as a one year old child in the household of Mary's mother in the 1860 census. I wonder if Dudley is her real father. Mary died in 1889 and Dudley married Dora Stewart in 1891 and had 6 more children. Dudley died in 1909 and was said to have been a Mason in the Gratz lodge ( anyone know how to contact them?) After Dudley Died, Dora married Charles Purvis in 1911. He died in 1918 and Dora about 1920. All are in unmarked graves around gratz. Nancy Ellen Spurr, daughter of Mary and Dudley, is said to have married a George Thacker in the 1880s. No record of this marriage and no Thacker researcher can place him. Had twins Rose and Richard, about 1885, Richard died as a baby Nancy remarried to Benjamin Franklin Purvis around 1888 ( again no record of it) and moved to Henry county in the 1890s.

I'm following two Owen County families: James CLAXON, 1779-1860 married Nancy Ann Thomas Children: Nancy, b 1812, married Enoch Brewer, married Ben Harrod Reuben, 1812-1875, married Elizabeth WOODFILL, daughter of Joseph WOODFILL (very elusive fellow who I'm also trying to pin down) Cassius, b 1813, married Sarah Quisenberry Elizabeth, b 1815, married John Quisenberry Winnie, b 1819, married Robert Quisenberry Caroline, 1820, married William Harvey Quisenberry Owen, 1822-1901, married Sarah Ann Thomas William, 1823-1896, married Lucy Jane Thomas Spencer, b 1827, married Lucy Clarke Giles, married Sallie R. -- Sarah Frances, b 1827, married James Owen Thomas. Anyone else working on either this particular CLAXON family (there are loads of Claxons, but this is the one I'm most directly working on) or the WOODFILLs? Kirk Jenkins

Hi Barb, Good idea... My direct ancestor from Owen County, is Jacob SOUDER. Jacob SOUDER married Suzanna WRIGHT in Madison County, Ky. on the 13th of March 1823. He had a son named Jacob Souder also. They lived near the present day Canby, and Lusby's Mill area.

Hello Owen County Researchers - Is anyone out there researching John Searcy, Revolutionary War Vet, who married Milly Francis Lea in Woodford County, KY on Sept 8, 1789 and was the son of Bartlett Searcy and Lucy Anderson, besides me? John Searcy was also a minister in Owen County, KY and closely associated with John Garnett and Tobias Willhoite. In fact, John Searcy's daughter, Elizabeth Searcy, married Obediah Willhoite, Tobias' son, on 10 March 1830 in Owen County. (No proof yet, but I think Jane Scearce was an older daughter who married Israel Willhoite, Tobias' oldest son in Woodford County, Ky in 1822.) Anyone out there have any proof of this? Would love to hear from you! Thanks for any help. Betty Babitzke 524 La Caruna Ct. Punta Gorda, Fl. 33950-7838

Good idea, Barbara. Other than a glimmer of hope from a clue forwarded by Barbara, this is what I know about ggrandfather: SMITH, James C., b 31 Jan 1836, Owen Co., KY; d 4 Mar 1899, Arbela, Scotland Co., MO; m(1) 20 Dec 1860, HOLDER, Lucinda, Scotland Co., MO; she died 15 Jan 1870; m(2) 30 May 1870, Scotland Co., MO, YEAGER, Cordelia Mary. I have gobs of information on his descendants; none on parents. Floyd E. Turner mailto:floydt@erinet.com

Greetings Owen County Researchers! The Owen Co., KY ancestors that I am presently researching (without much luck) are the MARION's: Clem MARION had a son, William Preston MARION (1876-1914) who married Cynthia LUCKETT or LUSHELL (1861-1936). William suffocated in a mine near Gratz, and I have his death certificate, but it's not very clear. I have tried to find information on the cemetery which is either Minish or Munish on Highway 82 East, 9 miles from Owenton, but it appears there are no existing records. Is anyone familiar with the surname MARION or with this particular cemetery? I could sure use some help. William and Cynthia were supposedly living in Gratz at the time of his death. Thank you, Cindy Steenfott El Paso, TX DSfoot@aol.com

Thank you for starting the Owen Co. list.. I am interested in the HUDSON family. George Washington HUDSON b. 22 Apr 1850, Owen Co., son of George and Mary (BATES) HUDSON. The information on his parents is from his death certificate. I would like to know more about his parents and siblings. Geo. W. married Louise JUMP, in Owen Co.

Just to help anyone that might connect to our Owen family if you see a posting that you can give some help or connect with. Please respond to the list so we can all keep up with the family connections. As we start tossing around names you never know what name might ring a bell with some one, this has happened to me (on another list) and I found a missing link back to the 1600's (not connected to my Owen line sorry) Barbara

Well, we are off to a nice start had over 10 new subscribers this week. I am off to a slow start I had hoped to have the Marriage records finished and on line this week, but my JOB got in the way will try to get more finished and on the web by the weekend. May I make a suggestion to everyone over the next few days could you list one MAIN family line that you are researching in Owen Co. to help get better acquainted with the other Owen researchers. I will start by posting something I just found on the 1850 census: No . 492 - John Wright 40 (KY) Jemimah (Clifton) 42 (KY) Married August 23, 1814 in Grant County, Kentucky. Bond signed by her father Edward Clifton. Farmer value of property $1,200.00 Children: Eliza 17, William 15, Joseph 12, Leonas 11, Ephila(sp?) 9, John 11, Leroy 7, Ellizabeth 5 Note: Jemimah is the daughter of Edward Clifton that move to Owen County from Delaware with brothers Noah and DavidSr. (my direct line) W H Clifton living next door would be her first cousin. Anyone connect to this Wright family? Looking forward to finding more cousins Barbara

I've uploaded my Morgan information to my web site at http://www.pcs-inet.com/blueelf/ged/wmmorgan/index.htm It's not the best looking thing but it will do for now. While I'm here; Does anyone have any information on a Richard Crawford b.abt 1840 he married Sarah "Sallie" Morgan b.Abt. 1851, February 07, 1867. This is my other Morgan connection. Steven E.

I am researching the Shelton line as it goes thru OWEN Co. This is my husband's Mother's line on her Mother's side. Mabel Knox m. John Raker Nannie Belle Shelton, b. 1884 m. Robert Bledsoe Knox 1902 ( I posted Knoxes last week) dau of Elzy Thomas Shelton, b. 1867 Owen Co, and Sarah Francis Lusby son of William Hayden Shelton, b. 1839 Owen Co, and Mary Ann Jacobs Wm. Hayden is son of Frederick, according to death certificate of Wm. H. There is a Frederick on the 1840 census Owen Co., with a female/wife, and a male, age u5. (This I assume is Wm. Hayden). Also a male age 5 & u 10. I WOULD SURELY LIKE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THIS MALE CHILD!!!!! Frederick is on the tax list for a few years then disappears.......... ............... The is a marriage for a Frederick to Deodora Gillock, 1842. Don't know is this is father to Wm. H..... Hayden, age 11, is on the 1850 census, listed with family of Samuel Hunt. Does this mean parents are gone -- died or away? He is on 1860 census with W. H. Hardin family. IS FREDERICK THE FATHER OF WILLIAM HAYDEN SHELTON, AND WHO MIGHT THE MOTHER BE. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM, AND OF COURSE, WHO WERE THEIR PARENTS? ?????? Phyllis -- in Cincy

In case anyone hasn't noticed, most of the Morgans in Owen Co. are related to "Elder" William Morgan. There is some information about him at the KY biographies web site, under a couple of his son (or grandsons). I believe there is 2 links. Anyway, give me a day or so and I'll put all of my Morgan information on my web site. Judy, I don't have anything on your Sarah, but if she married into the Holbrook family she is probably related to William Morgan. The Morgans, Holbrooks, Balls, Cull, Ligons,......all lived in the same general area (and most are buried there also). Along the Big Twin Creek road. The church that William preached at is still in use today. The church's cemetery is where he and his family, and most of mine, and probably yours, are buried. The cemetery sits on the side of a ridge (Balls Ridge), a lot of the stones have been lost, washed away, or grow over. What is left if taken care of.

You know this is the first time I've seen a Breeden/Morgan connection. I am related on both sides. Let me figure this out.....Okay, I am descended from Thomas W. Morgan, (the brother of Elijah), through his daughter Susan A. Morgan, she married into the Ball family. On the Breeden side...I am descended from Abner Breeding,(the brother of your Richard, yes Frances' surname was Fairchild). Contact me about the Breeden family. I am the list owner for the Breeden/Breeding mailing list. Any information I don't have, is easily gotten from the list members. Steve P.S.

Hello Everyone! I am new to the list... Hope someone out there recognizes these names. Searching for information on my great great grandparents, William Smith born 1847, and wife Lucy Smith (Hicks) b. 1848, they had 4 sons, Callie Smith b. 1871, Elonsa (Lonzo) Smith b. 1874, Eddie Smith b. 1879, and James Smith b. after 1880. Found the family in the 1880 Owen County, KY census, (Owenton Dist # 1); but have not been able to find the family in 1870 or 1900 census, cannot locate their marriage record either. William was born in NC, Lucy and boys all born in KY. Family says William was all or part Cherokee Indian, (went by Bill Big Knife), however, listed as "white" on census. I have hit a brick wall, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you, Dayna
