Interesting seeing these names you posted, as some these are also found in my Anderson line from Polk Twp., both Pleasant Hill and Strasburg. Any of yours from KY as some of these are found in Harrison and Nicholas Cos, KY.(;-) Curious if you have any connection to CAVE, RAVENSCRAFT, FULTON lines. My ANDERSON and LONG families are connected to those lines who also lived in Strasburg and Pleasant Hill.
