I'm not from Shelbyville,KY, but my ancestors were. They owned a house on Bradshaw Street. Clear Creek ran behind the house, about parallel to the street. An overhead railroad track also ran between the house and Clear Creek. I'm sorry that I can't give you any better directions than that, but I'm sure someone who is more familiar with Shelbyville will respond.

Can anyone tell me were Clear Creek is in Shelbyville,Ky? Jim

OK, could you post this for me? I am looking for any info on Jonathan & Mary (Brooks) Harris of Shelby Co. These folks show up on the 1880 & 1900 census & will most likely be on the 1910 & 1920 Censuses when I look. John is listed with a KY birthplace, Mary as New York. I know John was still alive in 1926 as he signed off on Mary's death certificate but as of yet haven't been able to find his death in the KY Vital Stats. Any help on this Harris line would be appreciated as I am trying to get info on his parents, etc., and especially his siblings.

Thanks for the help but my Jonathan was still alive in 1926 as he signed off on the death certificate of my ggm Mary Harris. He married a Mary Brooks from New York. I'm trying to find out something about his background - parents, birthplace, etc and so far haven't even been able to locate him in the KY Vital Stats for a death certificate.

Hello: Wondered if you would send this out again? "Researching William Priddy married to Catharine Hardman in Shelby Co., KY 26 Mar 1802. Their children were: Polly, John, Elizabeth, David and Sarah." Thanks.

I have BROWN's Samuel BROWN m. abt. 1855 Catherine ARMSTRONG (she's on 1850 Neslon County Census with parents Phillip ARMSTRONG and Sarah HUFFMAN and siblings) I believe Samuel and Catherine married in Spencer County KY. Sam and Kate, had a son Isaac BROWN m. Mary GOINS, they had several children in the 1890's on born in Anderson County. Can send a complete report if anyone feels they connect. I'm not sure who Samuel's parents are feel he might connect with the BROWN's of early Nelson County, not sure if they were from MD or VA.

Yes, the library in town has microfilms of most of the old newspapers - some of the earlier years are missing but on the whole its pretty complete - certainly should have the years you're interested in. I suggest you contact the Shelby Co. web page manager and ask if she knows of anyone there who can do lookups for you. You have the date of Wm's death so the obit, if there is one, shouldn't be too hard to locate. That should also give some good info on survivors, etc. Good luck George ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Talbot" <talbot@olsusa.com> To: <KYSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2000 8:11 AM Subject: Re: [KYSHELBY] BACON-BIRD > George, > Is there a Shelby County Library that keeps newspaper obituaries on file?
