    3. Just got back from a Bertram reunion in Monticello, Wayne Co., KY. We went one day early so I could look in the Wm. Crenshaw Kennedy Jr. Wayne County Memorial Musem's genealogy library. (I recommend this added venue for Wayne County genealogy researchers.) My main research objective this trip was to look for the spouse of Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" BROWN, but I did not find anything. I am hoping someone on the list will know something that will lead me to more information about her. Lizzie Brown was born about December 1872 in southern Wayne Co., KY to Jane (Bertram) & Elijah Brown. I have not found a trace of her after the 1880 Wayne Co., KY census in which she was enumerated as Nancy E., age 8, in the home of her parents, yet I know from previous interviews with old timers that Lizzie married and reared a family. I think she may have relocated to McCreary, Whitley, or Pulaski counties in KY but this is just a hunch. She might just as well have gone with some of her siblings to Texas, or settled in nearby TN. I really have no definite leads. 1880 Wayne Co., KY Census (108th Enumeration District.): #149-151; BROWN, Elijah, 35, husband, farmer, TN, TN, TN; Jane, 33, wife, KY, KY, KY; Feriby E., 10, daughter; Nancy E., 8, dau; George W., 6, son; General M, 4, son, William F., 2, son. (Still next door to Jane's parents.) Her siblings were Ellen (aka Feriby E.) , George Washington, General Marion, William Fount, Prentiss, and Arlena Brown. Ellen Brown married Joe S. Jones. George W. married Martha Ellot Stinson. General Marion married Martha Catherine Martin, and 2nd Catherine Mae Martin. Prentiss died young. Arlena married William "Bill" Shoopman and 2nd Judge Dudley Sloan. If you have any information about Lizzie or any of the members of this family I would very much appreciate hearing from you. I will gladly share any data I have. Sincerely, Anna Bertram
