Hello Dear Rowan County list, I'm still battering at my brick wall, and thought maybe some of you might be able to help me. My grandmother, Mary Alice Donelson/Donaldson, married my grandfather, Rubin Calvin Dennis in Rowan County in 1896. Witnesses were Jack Carter and Johnie Ellis The minister who performed the wedding was Rev. H. G. Alderson. I have a copy of the Rowan County Court Minister's Return marriage register, and Rev. Alderson shows up in four of the ten marriages on this page. Here's my question; Do any of you have any information about the Reverend Alderson? Do you know what church he would have been affiliated with? I have not been able to find birth information for my grandmother's first two children, and a cousin thinks maybe the only record of their births might be in their church. Any ideas on where to look in county records or the Kentucky Archives that might have information on churches that were active in that time period? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
