I have several ancestral families who migrated from Kentucky to Missouri. Just as Cecy's ancestors lived along Paint Lick Creek in Garrard Co., KY, so did my Alexander ancestors. The Alexanders (including my ggg grandfather James Alexander and wife Elizabeth Logan as well as my gg grandfather John Alexander) moved to the southwestern corner of present-day Randolph County about 1826. Elizabeth Logan's mother was supposedly a Boone (related in some way to Daniel), but no proof has been found. My ggggg grandfather William Holman and wife Eleanor Barnes moved from Madison Co., KY to present-day Randolph Co., MO around 1817/1818. My ancestor Leonard Keeling Bradley, whose wife Mary "Polly" Boone was a daughter of Samuel Boone and niece of Daniel Boone moved from Fayette Co., KY to present-day Randolph County, MO in the early 1820's. Leonard Keeling Bradley brought his large family including son Terry Bradley who married Nancy Bryan Grimes, also a Boone descendant (her maternal grandparents being William Bryan and Mary Boone, sister of Daniel Boone). I also have a group of ancestors who moved to Randoph County in the late 1860's and early 1870's from Madison Co., KY including my gg grandfather Francis Jackson Parker and wife Dorcas Ann Freeman as well as my gg grandfather Ancel Daniel Asbell and wife Margaret Jaly Barnes. Finally, my Stark ancestors settled in Shelby Co., KY and Henry Co., KY in the 1780's having migrated there from Washington Co., PA. My gg grandfather William Stark was born in Shelby Co., KY in 1795, but moved to Washington Co., Indiana when very young. Later, William Stark and wife Catherine Goodman migrated to present-day Randolph Co., MO around 1825 (strangely, they may have taken a detour through Maury Co., Tennessee).

I have several families that came about 1819 from Garrard County, KY (formed from Madison Co. Kentucky in 1796) to Howard Co. Missouri - Denny, Best and Enyart. In KY they lived on Paint Lick Creek which is the dividing line between Madison and Garrard Counties, KY. The Denny family lived in both Howard and Randolph Co, MO - mostly Howard Co. right south of the Randolph Co line. Alexander Denny, the old man, sold his farm in Garrard Co, KY to his son George Denny for $2000 before he came. He brought lots of kids with him.

The Bryan mentioned connects to my Lillards and to the famous William Jennings Bryan and the family of Adlai E. Stevenson.
