Apparently, probably after Lucinda's death?? William George left Russell County and migrated with some of the GEORGE family to Camden,Lynn, or Miller Co.,MO. I do not know if his children went later on but they lived with Almira Kerns Rogers for awhile. I have found the marriage of Lucinda Kerns to William George and Almira Kerns to Wiley Rogers but I can not proove that they were sisters. Edith Blankenship George, daughter of Jesse Blankenship, was my GGG grandmother and the Mother of Mary Polly and my John George,Jr. There were other children for Edith and Mr. George, one of which was Lavinia George who married George W Goodman and migrated to Jackson County, MO. I strongly suspect that Edith George was married to Robert George, probably the same Robert that was married to Sally Owen and that Agnes George was her step daughter. Also there is a GEORGE-ROGERS connection in Pulaski Co.,Ky that I suspect connects with our families. On one Russell County census a Nancy George apparently appears out of nowhere and I believe this is Nancy Rogers George from Pulaski County. I have spent many hours in the Library and the Court House and can not solve this puzzle. Anything you come across would be appreciated. Thanks for the info on Florence D. Kerns. Are there more children for Mary Polly and James Kerns? Sharon
