HI all... These are the names are the ones I am looking for in Wolfe County.. Lacy, Jeptha Stewart (died around 1891) m. Aminta Ratliff (died in 1925 in Wayne Co Ohio Mort Lacy (born 1880)m. Ida Mae Fulks (born 1881) Ida Mae Fulks' parents were James Fulks and Julia Ann Brown Fulks I would like any help thanks in advance... Nancy
My direct line is: 1. William Leander Clair (1850 - 1923) + first wife Sarah E. Campbell (1852 - 1880) 2 William T. Clair (1871 - 1911) + Joanna Stidham (1878 - 1900), daughter of Edmond Stidham (1840 - 1927) and Sarah Stamper (1845 - 1906) 3 My grandparents, James Asbury Clair (1895 - 1977) + Lida Crisp (1898 - 1978), daughter of William Morgan Crisp (1859 - 1941) and Siller Adkins (1868 - 1959) * Martha Stidham (1871 - 1959) was the second wife of William Leander Clair) William Morgan Crisp was the son of Sylvester D. Crisp + Lovica "Queen" Whitt. There is a possibility that the CLAIR line is related to the CREECH family, although they are more likely to be related to the ASBURY and BROOKS families. My grandparents and great-grandparents lived in Wolfe County, with connections to Breathitt, Morgan, and Elliott counties. I am particularly interested in family stories and old photographs. Yes! Please put online! Thanks, Darlene ADKINS, ASBURY?, BROOKS?, CAMPBELL, CLAIR, CREECH?, CRISP, STAMPER, STIDHAM, WHITT
