Most of these I have seen before, but perhaps someone knows something new about the Preacher Francis Poythress. These are three sections from HISTORY OF KENTUCKY, by Lewis Collins, and J.A. & U.P. James, published 1847. Reprinted by Henry Clay Press, Lexington, Ky., 1968, . where Francis Poythress is mentioned. http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/jessamine/poythress.f.txt http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/fayette/haw.j.txt http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/fayette/haw.j.txt I found these on www.Google.com just shopping around for the heck of it. Google has 60 pages of references to "Poythress", not all genealogical. Did you know that Google doesn't always show you the same thing when you enter a subject for query? Had to get that factoid from some fancy seminar, second hand at that. Diana
