Just following the conversation here (even tho I'm not doing any research myself right now) and noticed the name "Musick." Lots of people from KY migrated this way, and my own maternal family came to St. Louis from Monticello in a covered wagon in the 1800s, as did others. Not sure if this next info is related to anything with Sarah Musick, or Wayne Co., but you never know, so I'll toss it in. Musick is a name that was common in a part of St. Louis County around the Creve Coeur Lake area, at least at one time, and my mom's second cousin (all descended from Wayne Co. folk) married a man named Musick Fitzgerald. Now, Musick was his first name, but there is a block-long street in this area named Musick Lane, and my mom said "Musick" was an important name in the Fitzgerald family, else they wouldn't have used it for his first name. Don't know if Musick is related to Wayne Co., but seems quite possible. Musick Lane is in Maryland Heights, Missouri, part of northwest St. Louis County. Other related areas where my family (and maybe some of yours) settled and farmed and mined around here were called Vigus (for the quarry), Bonfilles Bottoms (near the Missouri River--good farming land), and Missouri Bottoms, with its Cowmire Creek, so named because the the cows used to get mired in the mud there after the Mo. River flooded.) There are more than likely Musicks buried in Fee Fee Cemetery, on Old St. Charles Road, which goes back to when the whole area was settled, prior to the Louisiana Purchase. http://wikimapia.org/2961106/Fee-Fee-Cemetery , and http://www.funeralhomesguide.com/Missouri/Bridgeton/FeeFeeCemeteryAssociation.html . There is also a Musick Baptist Church (historic & ongoing) in the same area here at 790 Fee Fee Road (Fee Fee is said to be a corruption of the spelling of Fils et Fils, meaning Sons & Sons, so-named as a family farm road when we were a French territory before the Louisiana Purchase.) http://www.stlouischurches.org/Musick-Baptist-Church-1678.html (I have to guess that when the original French settlers here saw those covered wagons coming, they thought, "There goes the neighborhood!" LOL -- and here I am, married to a descendant of the original French settlers!) In case your looking for any Musicks who left the Wayne Co. area, and you haven't been able to track them, you might try some of the online records for Missouri and see if any of them settled the areas I've described . The state won some awards for their Web site, and I've found good info, myself, there. http://mymissourigenealogy.com/index.htm Happy hunting!   Donna J Gamache St. Louis, MO USA     ________________________________ From: Anna L Bertram <abertram@dtccom.net> To: kywayne@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 12:20:15 PM Subject: Re: [KYWAYNE] 1845 Wayne County Barb, Records are available for 1848 and earlier in Wayne Co., KY. Newton was not a common name but there was one Newton marriage ... that of Isaac Newton and Sarah Musick on Nov. 8, 1821.  My HANDY BOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS says Wayne Co., KY has ... marriage & land records from 1800 & probate records from 1800 to 1978 in the county clerk's office. The State Capitol is Frankfort, where many of the early records besides these are stored in the library and archives. I have never heard of a Wainesburg or Waynesburg in Wayne Co., KY and I have been researching it for many years. There is a Powersburg. Good luck!

Taylor.   Thank you, Barb     -------------------------------   To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to KYWAYNE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to KYWAYNE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
