Does anyone have information on this McKee family from Rockcastle County? I found this in the 1870 census: McKee William age 22 b. KY, Adalade age 21 b. MO, Bettie age 66 b. KY (probably Wm's mother or grandmother), Joseph age 1 b. KY, and Louisa age 3/12 b. KY. This is the only time I find this family. I'm trying to see if there is a connection with this Joseph McKee in 1870 and Joseph Maxie in 1920 in Clay County. Joseph Maxie's death certificate says he was born in Rockcastle Co. around 1870. I know this is a stretch but you know how people changed the spelling of names back then. Both of these families are brick walls. That is why I thought they might have a connection. Any help is appreciated. You may respond to this list or email me directly at (KYPHILPOT@aol.com). Thanks, Jerry Philpot.

Greetings. Does anyone know anything about a Caleb Henson, of Clay Co KY, who was killed in the War of 1812. Caleb died before Sept 13, 1814. A James Henson was the administrator of his estate per Deed Book A, pg 112 Clay Co KY. Thanks for 'any' information on Caleb Henson. 'R.E.' Hinson

Hi CIndy: Haven't looked at my Kentucky data in awhile. You know there were 2 William Durham's who appeared to be about the same age in the 1850 RCK Census. One had a wife named Eliza with children named Elizabeth, Minerva, John, Joseph, Eliza, Stephen, and Simeon. The other William Durham's wife was named Elizabeth with children Mary, Matilda, Isaac, and Greenberry. William and Eliza disappeared in 1860 and William reappeared in 1870 having aged only about 10 years. William married to Elizabeth shows up in the 1860 census but his wife's name is Letty. Children Mary, Matilda, and Isaac have disappeared. Children Anne, Elizabeth, Eleanor, and John are now with the family. William that was married to Elizabeth in 1850 and wife's name is Letty in 1860 has a wife named Matilda in 1870. Elizabeth is still living with him and they are joined by children Nancy, Wiley, John, William, Thomas, and Lettie. In 1880 his wife's name is Minerva with children Nancy, John, William, Thomas J, and Letty still living with him.

Ok list, where is all of our Kentucky Durham researchers. The list has been quiet for a long time. Still looking for information on William Durham b. 1818 who lived in Rockcastle county at least from 1840 until he died in 1900. Would very much like information on his children and parents. 1st wife Elizabeth children: Mary b. 1840 Matilda b. 1844 Isaac b. 1847 Greenberry b. 1849 aka Green B. 2nd Letty (Baker) b.1824 (possibly Elizabeth above) Ann b. 1850 Nancy b. 1854 John b. 1856 Viley b. 1856 William b. 1861 Thomas b. 1861 (twin) Letty b. 1863 Letty died in Tennessee in 1903, William died in Rockcastle County June 17, 1945. Nancy died in Rockcastle sometime in 1928 she is buried Rockcastle County. What happened to all the other siblings. Very much need help on this. Surely there is some of their descendants out there somewhere. Will share all I know, including photos. Cindy Durham Crawford

Hello List Trying to find date of death for Thomas Jefferson Durham born March 1861 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. He was twin to William M. Durham. They were the sons of William Durham b. 1818. Thomas was supposed to have died in Laurel County some time in 1941, however there is not death record of this. He is suppose to be buried on Gauley Mountain but I have no head stone to look at. He was married to Clista Lawson and they had children: Frederick Harrison, Green Berry, and Mary who went to New York. Would also like to know what happened to Mary as nothing has ever been found for her except an article in the Mt. Vernon Signal that she was home for the summer visiting family from New York. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance Cindy Durham Crawford

Does anyone known 'anything' about a "P. Kennedy Henson" who was listed in the 1830 Laurel Co KY Tax List. He may have been living in an adjoining county since Laurel was created in 1825 I believe. Thanks for sharing. 'R.E.' Hinson, Jr. roaten@prodigy.net

I am not a Moore researcher, but in my data-base created while researching my Henson ancestry, I am showing Thomas Moore b abt 1808 KY (see 1830/40/50 Laurel Co KY Census) as being a son of Moses Moore JR b bef 1790 Greene Co TN and 'Nellie' Moore. Showing Thomas had siblings; William, Lucinda, Orlancy/Oriana, Moses, and possibly an Affariah Moore who married Nancy Farris on Jan 14, 1836 Laurel Co KY. I have not proved any of this (not my family line) but it could possibly serve as 'very good leads' for someone researching the Moores of Laurel Co KY. If anyone reading this has any Henson information, please share it with me. Thank you. Roaten E 'R.E.'

Hello, I am looking for a marriage for my great great grandparents. They were Joseph Woodson Lane and Elizabeth Minerva Brockman. Joseph was born in Green County, Ky. in Nov. of 1862.
