Mar 22, 1914 >Undertaker, S____ Smith, Ary, Ky >Transcribed by Lynda Combs Gipson, Nov 3, 2001 This would appear to be Francis "Frankie" Stacy, d/o James "Straight Jim" and Mary Polly Stacy. But I have her listed as marrying Gabriel Fugate, s/o Zachariah "Ball Creek Zack & Mary Polly Smith. Don't have any marriage to a Smith. Can anyone clarify who this person was or who the Smith she married was? >> =================== I also have this information with the additional supposition that she may be the same as Franky Stacy who married Lorenzo Dow Smith as his second wife. Lynda, Debi, and I had a conversation about this probability on the Perry Co list back in Nov. 2001 (I only remember, because I looked it up!). I think we agreed she's the same individual, with two husbands, but I'm not sure who all her children belong to, as their names are recorded differently in the various censuses. The reason I think they're the same is due to their close proximity within all the years of the census, 1850-1900, along with the various other family members for the Fugates, Smiths, & Stacys were talking about here. Franky appears here: 1850 census, Perry Co KY: age 13, b KY; with parents (District 2, 63:66). 1860 census, Perry Co KY: age 21, b KY; with husband Gabe (Part 2, HH 322:320) 1870 Perry Co KY census: age 30, with husband Gabrel Fugate and children Haley, Nancy, & John (District 8, HH 8:8) 1880 census, Perry Co KY: age 43, b KY, ps b KY; with sons (District 2, HH 151:156, ). 1900 census, Knott Co KY: age 60 (b 4-1840, KY), 6/6, ps b KY; with husband Lorenzo & children (District 4, HH 247:247). Lorenzo appears here: 1850 census, Perry Co KY: age 33, with wife Sarah Fugate and child Lette (District 2, 67:70) 1860 census, Perry Co KY: Ans., age 45, b KY; with wife Sally & others (Part 2, HH 331:329). 1870 Perry Co KY census: L.D., age 65, farmer, b KY; with wife Salley and servants (District 5, HH 71:71) 1880 census, Perry Co KY: age 60?, b KY, ps b KY; with daughter Lettie & husband John Fugate’s family; says not related (District 2, HH 150:155). 1900 census, Knott Co KY: age 83 (b 3-1817, KY) md 20 ys, ps b KY; with wife & children; also in HH is grandson Elijah, b 12-1892 (District 4, HH 247:247). Gabriel Fugate appears here: 1850 census, Perry Co KY: age 12, with family (District 2, HH 70:74) 1860 census, Perry Co KY: age 22, b KY; with wife (Part 2, HH 322:320). 1870 Perry Co KY census: age 31, with wife Frankey and children Haley, Nancy, & John (District 8, HH 8:8) Similarly, other members of these families are also nearby. Any comments on these families? Dona Ritchie
