Gloria, I looked in Kentucky Marriage Records and didn't see a John Bartley or anyone by the name of Sykes listed in the index. I have occassionally found names that aren't listed in the index, but that's the best I can do as they aren't really in order in the book.

Hi I'm new to this list. I wonder if anyone has the census for 1910 and have a family listed with the name Sargent. I don't know the father's first name but the wife's name is Lydia and one of the children's name is either Nora or Eleanor. I thought they were in Harlan Co. but there's no record of them there.

I am sorry but I must have missed this thread. What death record are you looking for? You can find a lot of Pike Co death records on my obituary page at http://www.angelfire.com/Obituaries Candy Parent wrote: > I know you've probably looked into these sources as well, but I thought I'd > try another suggestion or two just in case: Did you by chance check into > Buchanan County, VA or the other surrounding counties?

I know you've probably looked into these sources as well, but I thought I'd try another suggestion or two just in case: Did you by chance check into Buchanan County, VA or the other surrounding counties? Based on my families... they moved back and forth across the border. They were born in one state, married in another and appear on the census for different years in both. If she died after 1920, there has to be a death certificate for her somewhere. Perhaps she lived long enough to have a social security card? (I forgot the date of her death). One other thought.... she didn't revert back to her maiden name or remarry before she died did she?

Good Morning list, I have some question about the Meredith COLLINS household and wondered if anybody has some answers . 1) Does anybody know where Meredith is buried? 2) Does anybody know what happened to Milly Johnson and their son? 3) 1838 court appointed a Richard P. Robinson as guardian to Meredith; does anybody know anything about Robinson, who he was and if he was related in any way to Meredith? Any help appreciated. Brenda Collins Dillon

Candy, Yes I have looked for a death certificate, even took a trip to Pike Co. to look, but no luck. Yes, have scoured the National Archives for Census data, but never found any reference of her father "Ran" and there were simply too many 4 year old Marys to deal with. I searced diligently, however for Mary Blackburn in the 1890, 1910 and 1920 census, but turned up dry. But thanks for the tips, hopefully, someone will mention something I haven't tried, like a book or something. Thanks again... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi Brenda: I don't know if I've asked you before but what Roarks are you researching? I have a Clarinda Roark d/o James Roark and Elizabeth Mullins that married a Samuel Cook in the Pike Co. area. Is anyone else searching this family? Martha

I have a Clarinda Roark d/o James Roark and Elizabeth Mullins that married a Samuel Cook in the Pike Co. area. Is anyone else searching this family? Martha >> Martha, John W. Collins married his second wife, Mary "Polly" ROARK from Harlan Co. KY By the census she was born about 1808-10 KY. I have never been able to find anything about her. She is listed with John and three children ,Alfred b. 1853 Tazewell Co. Va, Arnetta"Nettie" b. 1855 Tazewell Co. Va, and Richard b. 1858 Tazewell Co. Va. (my line) Arnetta is on 1880 census of McDowell Co. WV but in household of Harvy MULLINS w/ 2 yr old Christine Collins. I don't know much about Arnetta but I do know she also had a son named Richard Collins after my ggrandfather and since he went by Collins I doubt she was married. Richard, Arnetta's son is found on 1920 Pike Co. Census but I don't have record at my finger tips. He married Margarette Blankenship and had several children. They lived at Jodie,WV . My Richard came to Nicholas Co. WV where he lived with his uncle ,William Collins til he met and married ggrandma Fidella . Would like to find more on the Roark line and also a record or proof of first family. I have it but no proof or legal records. Brenda

Wilma, COLLINS has a lot of mystery in the line. My ggrandfather told my grandfather his parents came from Ireland durning the famious potatoe famine........I have this line back to Meredith b. 1760 Va. and would love to find his parents. Needless to say ggrandpa Richard wasn't telling the truth. Meredith Collins was a REVWAR soldier. b. 1760 Va. d. 1841 Pike Co. Ky He brought his family from Russell Co. Va. and settled on land at Craney- Shelby Creek. His first wife is unk and with her he had a daughter ,unnamed, and a son Bradley Collins b. 1786 NC.........ca: 1795 he married Polly HOLLOWAY and with her he had, John W. Collins, Edward Collins, Archibald Collins, Janes Collins, Reuben Collins, a daughter ( we believe is Amy) and William. Meredith lost Polly 1812 and him with all those children he "took up with" Milly JOHNSON, his common law wife and she gave him a son Merdy Johnson ,according to court records however I believe he may have been the Levi Collins found later living in the household with same birthdate. I am also searching for John W. Collins ,my gg grandfather who married second , Mary ROARK. John b. 1797 probably Russell Co. Va. d. after 1870 . He appears on McDowell Co. WV census in 1860&70 but disappears off 1880. Any help appreciated. Brenda

I subscribed but haven't had a post come across so wondered if anybody was out there? My name is Brenda Collins Dillon and my ggggrandfather was Meredith Collins who came to the Shelby Creek area about 1810. He raised his family there and died in 1841. Is anybody on this list working on the Collins line? surnames: COLLINS SPENCER TAYLOR BENNETT ROARK HOLLOWAY Reguards, Brenda
