These Oldhams and their Todd spouses, I don't recognize, but that is because in my genealogical research I deviate from Jesse Oldham, d. ca 1814 testate in Madison Co., KY, to some of his descendants. It would have been helpful to have had some dates in your message. My direct line of Oldhams had either died in Madison Co. or else had migrated from that area before the Civil War, ca 1858 or 1859.. It appears the Oldhams did well in Madison Co., KY and surrounding counties, such as Estill. However, a good many of Jesse's grandchildren by his son Richard *Ready-Money* Oldham and R/Ms two wives migrated elsewhere, mostly to Missouri, if I can believe the censuses!!! Our interchange of messages is below, in case some reader missed this exchange. A good many Oldham males lived long enough to get Rev War pensions [or their widows did] under the pension act of 1832. These are appearing online in several databases--HeritageQuest, available through membership in many local public libraries, now Footnote.com, etc. E.W.Wallace Your message: The Sarah Todd who married George Oldham was the daughter of Caleb R. Todd and Margaret Catherine Williams. The Sarah Todd who married Hiram Oldham was the daughter of Joshua Todd and Elizabeth Palmer. Joshua Todd and the Sarah Todd who married George were both children of Caleb R. Todd and Margaret Catherine Williams. So the Todd's were well connected to the Oldham family. Joshua Todd's son John P. Todd married Polly Oldham. Another son Joshua R. Todd Jr. married Martha A. Oldham. George Oldham & Sarah Todd's son Eschuyler Oldham married Nancy Todd. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Hdanw@aol.com> To: <OLDHAM-L@rootsweb.com>; <MADKY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 4:03 PM Subject: [OLDHAM] More Info About James Oldham of Madison Co., KY > Earlier I wrote of two Oldham grooms who appear in marriages of early > Madison Co., KY.
