Hi, I'm seeking information on America Hatton called Merkie. She lived between Pine Ridge and Rogers Kentucky. I know she was related to the Spencers or the Brewers but I don't know how. Hatton was her married name, I assume, as her children are Hatton's. Does anyone know who her parents were? Just guessing, I'd say she was born between 1900 and 1910. I don't know when she died as I was either living in Ohio or New Jersey, and didn't have any way of knowing. Sincerely, Shirley Ann Brewer

Hi, My Great Grandfather, Henry Clay Brewer married Margaret Ellen Spencer, daughter of Granville Henderson and Debra Jane Sparks Spencer. Henry Clay Brewer's brothers and sisters also married Spencers, and I have no Idea who their parents were. The ones I'm searching for are the following: Mahalah Brewer born 1868 married HOUSTON SPENCER; Hannah Brewer born 1866 married ELBURTON MONROE SPENCER; Newton Brewer born 1872 married MINAH SPENCER; Dennis Brewer born 1873 married RUTH ELLEN SPENCER; Green Kelly Brewer born 2/29/1876 married MINTA/MINNIE ALICE SPENCER. I would sure appreciate any information on these Spencers who married Brewers. I've always assumed they were Margaret Ellen Spencer's cousins, but had no information on them to be sure. By the way, Thanks Diane for all the work put in on this list, and thank you Carole for all those obits you post, I've found a lot of information in them that I didn't know about kinfolk. Sincerely, Shirley Ann Brewer
