It means something like "son of my sorrow" and is often given to sons born posthumously (to their fathers). I come from a line of four Connecticut men called Benoni Plum (after the first who was appropriately named, the others were named after their fathers). Is there a particularly good source for the Brashears of Virginia & Eastern Kentucky that anyone could refer me to? Thanks, Dona Ritchie

Isacc is buried at the Bobby Davis Park in Hazard across from where they lived on Baker Hill. He was almost 100 when he died. Elizabeth is buried behind Court House, in 1890. Grave yard was in the bypass right of way. Probably not there now. Isacc lived with my grandfather's family after her death. The other Isacc is I think a nephew? .Most certainly in the family. Elizabeth and her brother Jim were from Floyd Co., Ky. I know nothing more about Eliza's brothers and sisters. I have been told that they were Indians. Their daughter, Margaret was born Aug 11, 1858. and married Robin Baker,her first cousin, son of Wilson and Sally Combs.(Fields). They lived on High ST. in Hazard, Kentucky. Mary M. Jackson

Thanks Dona for your reply. It was definitely a big mistake. Sandy Fogle Re: Obit for Serena Ritchie Serena was born to Samuel P. Fugate & Jane Combs. She married Jason W. Ritchie son of Eli W. Ritchie & Sarah "Sally" Combs. (Ritchie Book) >> Clearly, Serena's parents were as Sandy has labeled above. Zeke & Alameda Ritchie were mentioned as Serena's brother-in-law [& sister-in-law] and Zeke is Ezekiel Ritchie, brother to Jason W. Ritchie, and his wife is Alameda Owens (dau of Jasper & Diance Owens). What a huge typo mistake (by the funeral home?) in writing this obit, labeling Samuel & Jane Fugate as Ritchie! Enough to really confuse the genealogists. Dona Ritchie
