Hey, Glenda! It has been quite a while since I remember (?) sending an email to you. First things first (comments below): On 2/23/05 11:24 PM, "Glenda J. Hall" <joeyhall@modempool.com> wrote: > Thanks, Denny, for following up with this additional info. I will > incorporate it into my answer to this post. One person wrote that evidently > there is a Perryman Cemetery listed in the Russell Co., Vol 3, Cemetery > book, and that they are not listed in that one. I have Russell County Cemeteries, Vol. #3, compiled by Rita Popplewell Johnson for the Russell County Historical Society, but I fail to find any mention of a Perryman Cemetery. Neither is this cemetery listed in Vol. 1 & 2. A couple of years ago, someone (forgotten name) contacted me about work he was doing compiling data on Russell County cemeteries. Long story short, I sent him what I had on the McClure-Lester-Boyd Cemetery thinking that an additional volume would be added to the first three! If there is a 4th. Volume, I¹m not aware of it! Are you? When I saw that posting, I just figured that Margaret and Allen Grider most likely lived near relatives, so I checked the Adair County website (RootsWeb). Speaking of websites, I am ready to drop the Ancestory.com as I continue to find more and more files require an additional cost to observe. I¹m already spending a lot of money now, but when I did a quick search for Allen H. Grider I had to spend additional money to see files that individuals had posted on this website. Enough is enough! > > So how are things? I have gotten off on a chase for Bradshaw, Collins, and > Aaron and Ennis. Don't ask me why. I just get fixated on some little thing > that bugs me and then I spend all my time chasing down the entire line. And > the topper is that they're not even my direct line! Sounds familiar! :>() I¹ve been accused of the same thing, especially when I get an email from someone asking for some type of ³lookup². Things have been extra busy around here with the usual job responsibilities that require more time than I really want to give them. Our daughter, Ashley, had major surgery (benign tumor on ovary) last month, and this has kept us on I-75 most weekends and Ashley at home for 6 weeks. Fritzi spent two weeks in TN while I drove back and forth. Thankfully, Ashley is fine now and back to work, but it sure put a damper on Christmas not knowing if the tumor was malignant, etc. I, on the other hand, have had weird things happening to my right foot that podiatrists are still trying to figure out. At times, once or twice a week, I step on my foot and it behaves like those toe ³cramps² that we all have and can¹t do much but try to straighten out your toes. (Usually happens to me when I¹m in bed.) But in my case, the nerves, tendons and ligaments on the top of my foot swell producing a large knot causing extreme discomfort to the extent that I cannot walk on that foot. Usually this will last a day or two. Thankfully, this week I have not had a problem, so far! :>) Also, in January my aunt Mary E. [Lester] Elliott died in Middleburg, Ky. Of course this and other things have put a real damper on doing family research since she is the one who got me into this genealogy mess of mine. Based on my conversations with her daughter, DiAnne, I don¹t know what is going to happen to all of BayE.¹s family files that go back to the 1950¹s. Speaking of her, she recorded Margaret J. Lester¹s birth as ³circa 1830² and the birth location as Adair. No death date. You have an undocumented date of 7 Jan 1827 in Russell Co. I¹m surprised that no one has found a documented date and location, but it seems reasonable with the approximate time-line along with the date that Russell Co. was formed (1825), that she was born in Russell. Aunt BayE had very little documentation on this family. For Allen H., she had the following: B. 1829; D. 1875. Children listed were Bramlett (? Campbell), Lennie (Tilda Back), Fulton (Malinda Blankenship) and Exona (John Will Smith). Back to the original question, if indeed Margaret and Allen are buried in that Perryman Cemetery in Adair, it shouldn¹t be difficult to find its location. Will put that on my agenda for this summer when UK is on summer session. Posting a request for directions to this cemetery on the Adair and Russell websites should provide what I need. Keep me updated if you find anything on this issue. Every thing going well for you and yours?
