It included Hiram Fields, m.to Fannie Mays. We have always known we were cousins to the ones we visited, but never asked our elders how we were linked. Now we're trying to make that link. My husbands ancestors were from Owsley Co.,KY (also Clay, Jackson, Perry, Leslie) His gr,gr grandfather Jeremiah, Jr. was b.1826, married Elizabeth Eversole (b.1820) in 1846. She had been a Begley. They had 4 children, Sarah b.1847 (who married Samuel Davison), Joseph b.1852 who married Mary Polly Hignite, James b.1855 and Stephen b.1858. Jeremiah Jr. died 1863 (and is buried) at Vicksburg,a SGT in the Union Army, Civil War. We trying to find his wife Elizabeth's grave. Joseph b.1852, was my husband's gr grandfather, and he was alive in 1889, in Owsley Co. but we can't find a record of him in 1890. We have searched for years to find his grave. His wife, Mary 'Polly', married again to John Gabbard ,and later died in IN. Do any of these names sound familiar to you? Could you check in your book to see if you have any information that could make the link. The cousin we received the info from is a decendent of William 'Billy' and Lydia Rice Fields. She thinks we are from the Davis and Abigail Creech's line. We found some information in the Letcher Co. Library that stated Davis and Abigail had a son named Jeremiah, we think he may be our gr,gr,gr grandfather, but we haven't found anything further to prove it. If you have any information that would help us, then we'd really like a copy of your book, and appreciate your sources. Thank you, Ray & Cathy Fields Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
