Hello, Bill and all............. I am among the guilty.....I haven't posted here for some time. I am researching the KNOX line out of Chester co. Robert Knox, b. 1758 in Balleymoney, Ireland, was one of the children of James Knox, and Elizabeth Craig. Robert m. Elizabeth Gill, and his family moved up thru Kentucky...................settling in Franklin co. for awhile. Elizabeth Gill died --quoting--"about 1809". He then married Mildred/Millie Bohannon in 1817, and moved up to Gallatin Co. where Robert d. in 1836. Millie died in 1860/61. Many children from both marriages. MY PROBLEM: I have an Austin Knox b. 1810 KY, I'm sure in Franklin co. ********************************************************** Who is his father ???????????? Is it Robert and Elizabeth Gill Knox ? OR Is Austin the son of James, (the oldest son of Robert and Elizabeth), and his wife Mary McCreary, who m. in 1805 in Franklin co. ???????????? There is only one child in the household, male, u5, on the 1810 census, Franklin Co., with James and Mary? Means there would have been no children born to that marriage from 1805 to 1810. Or Is it possible that Elizabeth Gill KNOX died in Feb 1810 with Austin's birth, and Austin was in the care of James and Mary ?? ************************************************************ I know I have the right family, because Austin is on the estate settlement of Millie Bohannon Knox, 2nd wife of Robert, as an heir at law. Much as I've looked, I cannot find a will for Robert, b. 1758, or James, b. 1785. nor can I find reference to ANY children for James I know this is a problem that I will probably solve in Kentucky research..........................Is any one else working on Robert's line. Appreciate any input................................................
