Greetings... I am researching the PETITT family of Bluestone, in Rowan Cty, KY. Ollie Petitt married Elizabeth Elam on April 17, 1915. On February 28, 1920, Ollie was killed in an accident at the stone quarry; he was crushed under the weight of a large block of sawed stone. He died instantly. I am looking for a news article or obituary that describes the accident, as I am far removed from the location. I appreciate your time. Fair Winds & Following Seas. ~ Dan Little of Tulsa, OK

Looking to share information on: Lulie Lewis and Jessie James Caudill Also: James Robert Lewis and Lulie Catherine Caudill and their son Chester Lewis b about 1910 who married Monnie Moore. I am from the Caudill line. Thanks Betty

Gary, I had a DNA match who was looking for a Lewis connection. Ironically, Thomas or rather Turner-Thomas is DNA match.

They were married in Washington Co VA in 1784(?). We think Thomas' father was a William Lewis and we have no further documentation. Family lore is that Thomas was born in Wales but I have doubts. I think it may have been his father who was born in Wales. Thomas migrated to Morgan Co, KY where he died in 1849. He was granted a Revolutionary War pension as he was an Indian scout for George Rogers Clark. I have done my DNA testing to see if I could tie in with some of the other Lewis lines. I have a very close match with another person whose grandfather was born in Wales. So we do have a definite Wales ancestor. I have read about Gen Andrew Lewis but have no documentation that we are related. There are at least 4 other Lewis lines in our area (Eastern KY) which no doubt we are connected but have no proof. I have two aunts who were Lewis and married Lewis who were different lines. Who are your Lewis ancestors from the 1800's and where were they located?

Gary, I am working on the Dyer family of Morgan Co., KY and Lewis Co., KY and wonder if your Hannah Hopkins is a descendant of Garner and Mary (Chambers) Hopkins. Their daughter, Hannah, b. 13 December 1778, Orange Co., NY., married William Dyer Jr. I have a little more on the earlier Hopkins line. Bruce Bruce E.

Is there anyone local that would be willing to take a photo of the grave of Miranda Choate for me? She is buried in the Slaty Point Cemetery in Rowan Co., near Farmers. She was born 1832 and died July 1893 in Rowan Co. Hope to hear from someone!! Karen Phillips Hanover, IN Lookup Volunteer for Jefferson Co., IN ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hello to all that are interested in this thread, First of all I am researching the Choate family and have done so for 28 years. I don't claim to have all the answers, however this e-mail brings up several questions in my mind. Secondly, I realize that MS Lowe is only giving out information she found on the Rowan Co., Cemetery CD and in no way am I trying to contradict or critique her. I agree that Abraham Choat, below, is the son of Richard and Elizabeth Choate. Elizabeth (Enix) Choate was the daughter of Abraham and Julian (Logan) Enix of Lewis Co., KY. I used census records and a marriage record to come to that conclusion. Richard Choate m. Elizabeth Enix, 15 November 1831, Lewis Co., KY, Vol. A, p. 107, His second marriage, her first. 1850 Census of Carter Co., KY- District No. 1 - HH # 139 Richard Shoat 68 M Farmer VA Pauper Elizabeth 37 F KY Tilla 17 F KY Terissa 14 F KY Mary 11 F KY Zachariah 10 M KY Emaly 8 F KY Namon 6 M KY Malvina A. 5 F KY Eliza E. 3 F KY Abraham 1 M KY 1860 Census of Fleming Co., KY, District No. 2, Flemingsburg P.O., HH # 845/924 Shoat, Richard 79 M W Gentleman VA Elizabeth 47 F W KY Nayman 17 M W Laborer KY Liza 13 F W KY Abraham 11 M W KY James A. 9 M W KY Henry C. 7 M W KY As you can see this is Richard and Elizabeth Choate with their son Abraham and his siblings. However, Richard Choate was previously married and had at least seven children by his first wife. I have found marriage records to substantiate six of the daughters. The only son, Abner, never married and I only assume he was the son of Richard because his sister, Julia Ann (Choate) Logan, named one of her sons Abner and that Abner Choate lived in Lewis Co., KY near the Logans. 1850 Census of Lewis Co., KY, District No. 1, HH # 106 Jabez Truitt 42 M KY Farmer Susanne " 35 F OH Josephine " 6 F KY John W. " 2 M KY Samuel Walker 12 M KY John " 12 M KY Abner Choate 25 M KY Farmer I have been to the Hurst Cemetery in Fleming Co., KY and found a tombstone for whom I believe is my ancestor, Richard Choate. The birth date does not match the census records, but he is buried near his daughter, Eliza (Choate) Seever, wife of Caspar H. Seever and next to his daughter Emily (Choate) Helphenstine, wife of Lewis Harrison Helphenstine. If you have an interest in this line then you can view the inventory of the Hurst or "Lost Penland" Cemetery on my web page, listed below in my signature. Richard "Cull" Choate is probably Richard C. Choate, son of Richard and Elizabeth (Enix) Choate and not Richard's father. I have not been to Slaty Point Cemetery so I cannot say exactly what is on the tombstones, but I thought I should weigh in and bring up these points. Again, I want to say I am not being critical of anyone here. I know MS. Lowe is only giving out information that she has in front of her and whomever recorded the information from Slaty Point was doing the best that they could under the circumstances. I know it is a large cemetery and it is difficult to read old tombstones and then try to keep all of them straight. Bruce Bruce E.

Karen, I looked up Miranda Vanlandingham Choat in the 2006 Rowan County cemetery CD (the books are also on CD and the CD is updated yearly) and she is buried in the Slaty Point Cemetery on Route 1722, Lower Licking Road, close to Farmers, Kentucky. Here's her listing: Choat, Mirandy [Vanlandingham] ; 15 Apr 1832-24 Jul 1893 ; Single stone ; Wife of Abe [Abraham] Choat, son of Richard & Elizabeth Choat. Abe Choat and his mother Elizabeth are not listed in the cemetery books, but there are a lot of unknown/unmarked graves in the Slaty Point Cemetery and he could very well be buried there, too. The only other Choat in the books is her father-in-law: Choat, Richard "Cull" ; [CA 1781]-[death date unknown/unlisted] ; Single stone ; Husband of Elizabeth Choat, father of Abe Choat. John Benjamin Lancaster is not listed in the RC cemetery books. There are only 3 Lancasters: Donald Bruce Lancaster (1939-19410, Gerald Wayne Lancaster (1931-1951), and Thomas Jefferson Lancaster (1861-1900). If no one else can get you a picture of the 2 stones, I will try to get out there one weekend and hunt them up. It's a large cemetery and I've never been there, so it may take me a while. I noticed your death date for Miranda differs from the one in the cemetery books, but the books do have typos in them, so your date may very well be the correct one. We can check the date against the picture of the tombstone. Even tombstones have been known to be incorrect!

Hello! I am hoping to find someone that has the Cemetery Books for Rowan Co. and can tell me if Miranda Vanlandingham/Vallandingham Lancaster Choat(e) is listed and which cemetery she is in? I am hoping to obtain a photograph of her marker. Her first husband was John Benjamin Lancaster. He died between 1860-1867. I have a suspicion that he died in the Civil War, but can't prove it. I am wondering if he might also be listed? Hope to hear form someone! Thanks so much. Karen ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hello Fellow Researchers! I am hoping to find someone familiar with the family of Miranda Vallandingham (b. about 1830 KY) and her husand, John Benjamin Lancaster (b. abt 1821). I have full access to Ancestry.com, but have not been able to locate a marriage record for them. I first find them in 1860 in Union, Boone Co., KY. John is a boot and shoe maker. Their first 2 children (James F. b. abt 1854 and Clara b. abt 1856) were both born in Indiana. The next child, Isadora was born abt 1857 in Illinois. I believe John is the son of William L. Lancaster and Matilda ________. William and son John are on the 1850 census Dist 2 Boone Co., KY. Both are boot and shoe makers. I have not yet found Miranda in 1850 with her parents. Her middle name could be Ann. The Family Search site shows she could have died in 1915 in Rowan Co. it also shows that she married a second time to Abraham Choat about 1867. John must have died. I have been unable to locate her on the Kentucky Death Index. I would love to hear from anyone that might know of this family! Thanks, Karen ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Fellow genealogists and anyone concerned with preserving our sacred cemeteries, The History Channel and Time Warner are sponsoring a 'Save Our History' grant award for which anyone can go online and cast their vote. Voting ends THIS FRIDAY April 27th, so time is short. We were fortunate that our restoration project was chosen as a finalist. The JCOGS is the only genealogy society or cemetery project to be chosen as one of the five finalists, so I truly hope that you will go to the Time Warner website and cast your vote for the James Cemetery project. If awarded this grant, we will use 100% of the grant to begin installing an antique-style aluminum alloy fence around the perimeter in order to help halt further desecration of this sacred and historic burial ground. You can read more about our James Cemetery project at the Time Warner 'Save Our History' voting website. Please unite with us as a group of genealogists concerned about the ever-increasing destruction of our cemeteries by VOTING for us at the website below. And note also that ANYONE with Internet access can VOTE so please forward this email to your genealogy circle of friends and ask THEM to vote too!
