I'm new at this so hope I don't make any mistakes. These are the names I have- Tramble Flanery b. May 14, 1919/1920 was son of Creed and Mary Newsome Flanery. Also Lissie Akers born May 5, 1920 was daughter of James Akers and Nancy Tackitt. I sure hope these names are familiar to some one!

(I understand you said they were from KY) Am looking for a Mary who married a STEEL/e and her daughter Adaline Steel married Richard Robinson. In 1880 Wyoming County, WV Census. Richard was 39 in 1880 and Adaline was 26. She listed her mother, Mary, as being born in NC. Children were: Mary A. 13, Amanda 12, Virginia C. 9, Nancy 4, Martha 9/12. We have records of all the children except Mary A. and Amanda. Cannot find Richard in 1870 anywhere..... Do any of these names sound familiar to any of you on the list???? Would love to find either the Steele line or the Robinson/Robison/Robertson line that connects..... My son married a Logan girl, Melissa Dawn Evans, who was killed in a single car accident in 1990 in Fairmont, Marion County. Her parents still live n Logan.

Does anyone have any information? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: famsteel <famsteel@gte.net> I am especially interested in documenting the father of my Thomas Smith, who said his father was William. tom smith is supposed to be a grandson of Thomas Smith of Horsepen. "Old" Tom's son John was a witness at the wedding of Wm. J. Lawrence in Pike Co. in 1846 to My Thomas's mother, Sophia VanDyke. I can't find a William Lawrence other than the marriage and that they were in Wayne Co. in 1850- have wondered if Wm lawrence was same person as William Smith who was Tom's father, and supposedly s/o Thomas of Horsepen. That is why I found it interesting that Louis and lotty named a son Thomas and one John. I am specifically looking for the william Smith who was supposedly in Pike Co. and involved in the feud- Know him?

Hi, I got a tip from a member that I should have listed some of my surnames that I was interested in for my visit to Pike Co., so here goes: My main lines of research are Hackney - Emzy Leonard, son of Andrew Jackson Hackney and Johnson - Isaac son of Martin Johnson. Emzy Hackney was a magistrate for many years in the early 1900's and I am hoping to get some details. Also, there are Thornburys (Thornsburys). I would like to get information along two veins - one is the factual details of the families (birth, death, marriage etc), but I would also like to find information to share with the descendants of this line that is more along the lines of "human interest" or family stories. The Hackneys at one time owned land from the KY/VA state line on both sides of the Levisa River including Big Hackney's Creek, Little Hackney's Creek, Flanery's Branch, Big Card and Little Card Creek. I have no idea where these places are yet, but I will be looking at maps before I go - Which brings me to an additional question - Is there a good place to call about maps of the area - both present day and older maps. One person has already recommended a small book (abt $10) called Place Names in Pike County, Kentucky. I really appreciate the support and suggestions that I am getting from this list. I am getting very excited about my visit even though it is about a month away. -- Susan Martucci jkdevl@earthlink.net

The Allara Library,Special Collections, c/o Connie Maddox, Curator, Pikeville College. It's a bit tricky, but you can drive up the hill and park right behind the library. Newspapers from ca1920's on microfilm right by the printer - bring plenty of dimes - only one reader as I recall. In their collections room, they have a wide variety of books and files on the area and on local families. Much of the early Wills, Birth Records, Marriages, 1822-1900, etc., are available there. Also many Church Minutes & photos. Much of the growing collection may not yet be indexed, or available for the researcher. Much has been pub. in the "Pike Co. Historical Papers," and I would check all their indices first. They will have copies of all available for sale there, plus other books on the area. [This is going to be the depository - someday - for our large collection of several thousand area photos, original records, ledgers, an extensive collection of Old Reg. Baptist Minutes, local history books & record transcriptions, and over 20 filing cabinet drawers of hardcopy files on area families.] 2. The County Courthouse: Right downtown with easy parking just a couple of blocks away. The staff is great and give folks plenty of help and free access to the shelves. Court Orders & Deeds are generally indexed, but I found a lot by just reading "item by item" for the time period I was interested in. [Transcriptions of many of the earliest Deeds have been pub. in "The East Kentuckian."]. Have fun. I understand this is about the best time of year to be there - I'm always there in the heat of the summer. Oh! It probably would have helped if you had included the surnames & county locations you are most interested in. There are probably some of us reading this list who could further direct you if that information was known. Jim W.

Hi All, I am looking for some friendly advice. I will be visiting Pike county sometime later this fall and I would like to continue some of my research on my Pike Co. ancestors. I will probably have about two full weekdays and maybe a weekend day while I am there. I am not a very experienced researcher yet, so I want to make good use of my time. I do not have many official documents on my Pike ancestors - like birth, death or marriage records (yet). Thanks to many other researchers, I have many of my ancestors in place. My local library has the KY census, so I have been able to use those to gather information on family groups. Most of my KY research has been done online and through the help of others. In my visits to my own local library, I find that a whole day can pass by while I gather information. My question is - With my limited time in Pike Co., does anyone have some tips for how to structure my time. I would like to get some vital records, any available wills on my direct ancestors, and some land information. I also understand, that one of my relatives was a magistrate for many years. I would like to get some informationon this as well. How about newspapers? Is a local newspaper indexed at the public library? Do I need to set up appointments in advance with anyone? With such a short time available for research, I hope some of the experienced Pike Co. researchers can give me some tips. Thanks. -- Susan Martucci jkdevl@earthlink.net
