As we say goodbye to another month in 2012, why not try your hand at the puzzler? Thank you for all your guesses last week; only three got the answer for which I was looking, but you all worked hard! This week's puzzler likely will be quite easy. I know all of us are looking forward to having the 1940 census indexed! I am starting to receive notices through ancestry.com (I have our family tree there) of "possible matches" - but let's hurry up and get to Kentucky!! Have a great week and happy researching!

A long time ago, I posted some abstracts from the History of Fountain Run booklet. Mark Ross wrote me yesterday with a question about some dates shown. I know some of you are experts on Monroe Co and thought you might be able to help Mark. He included some attachments which I of course, can't post to the list. If you have knowledge of this Louisa Goad, would you write Mark directly? He is not on the list. His email address is: [email protected] and he gave me permission to post to this list. Thanks, Sandi Here is what Mark said: It was brought to my attention the URL http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kymonro2/folklore/fountainrun2.html. The birthday of Louisa Goad is what I'm questioning. Many of the details look correct, Mother, father, husband, death date, residence, but the birth date seems way off. It says she was born in 1884, but one of her grandsons (my grandfather) was born in 1881. :) The information I have for her, found from a death record (which I believe was mis read by ancestry.com as Good instead of Goad) and census records put her birth somewhere closer to 1832. Is there any way you can help me confirm or disprove that? If there's more information you need, please feel free to ask.. I'm just in rush right now to get to work.

A friend of mine called this "murdering history." On Tuesday the historical Zion Huggins home was hit by arson. The Huggins house, located on Cleveland Avenue in Glasgow, was rocked by an explosion late Tuesday afternoon. The house was vacant, lately owned by the late Frances Rootes Edwards. It was being readied, along with its contents, for an estate sale on June 9th. Heirs to the property, which includes Sam Terry IV, had been working in the house, inventorying the contents. At first, nearby residents thought they had heard a clap of thunder until flames were seen and the fire department was called. The home has long been known as the Zion Huggins house; a portion of which was built of log in 1810 - making this house one of the oldest in Glasgow. Huggins was a well-known nurseryman and had extensive orchards covering most of the neighborhood near his house. He was also a distiller and stored brandy in the basement of his house. According to Sam Terry, when Gen. Bragg's troops moved through Glasgow in the Civil War, the soldiers learned of the contents of the basement they were reputed to have had a brisk business there and confiscated the brandy and were selling it out of a basement window. The Edwards family had owned the home since 1945. According to officials, this is definitely arson and started in the front foyer. The Dickinson house was afire on April 20th and sustained damage from a fire that has also been deemed suspicious. It also was unoccupied and is on West Washington Street. We can only hope that the arsonist is found soon. I would like to thank Sam for permission to run this story and for his history of the Huggins' home.

Rachel (Parrish) Bevel   What happened to her after 1880 census?   Rachel was born about 1846 in Kentucky. In 1850, her family lived in Division 1 of Barren County. I found her marriage in Warren County 1878, to John Bevel, born in Virginia.  He died 15 months later.  He had been a resident of Warren County, KY for 2 years at the time of his death.  His parents/family is unknown.   She is a widow and living with one of her brothers in the 1880 Smith's Grove, KY census.  I have not been able to find any record of her after the 1880 census.  Her father was a farmer and they lived in Allen, Barren, Monroe and Warren Counties.   Looking for any clues about what might have happened to Rachel.

He died in Page Co on 10/5/1779 . (See Trimble). I don't know if anyone knows exactly what happened to Abraham. I think he may have lived with son Daniel in the Hestand area of Monroe Co and was probably buried in a family grave around 1806-1810. That's my 2 cents worth.

Still looking for an information about the parents of Robert Edward Lee, born about 1806-1810, possibly in Green County, married Leutitia Rountree in 1834 in Edmonson County, had seven children. Died August 9, 1886 Edmonson County. We know he had one brother, John Lee, lived in Wayne County most of his life, married Tabitha Francis. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Alice

I am interested in locating the burial sites of Henry Hiestand (b 1709) and Abraham Hiestand (b 1740). They migrated to what is now Monroe County about 1800. Both were members of Rev John Mulkey's Mill Creek Baptist Church. They and Rev. John Mulkey were also were on the rolls of Big Pigeon Baptist Church in East Tennessee in the late 1700's.

I do want to encourage you all to make posts to these lists! You don't have to wait until I announce a "roll call" These lists are for the use of the subscribers who need help in finding information on their ancestors in this area - not just for me to post every day. To make a post, just send it to the address shown in the first line of my signature line. As long as it pertains to the counties covered on the list (Allen, Barren, Cumberland, Hart, Metcalfe, Monroe & Warren primarily), send your question to the list. Replies can be made to the list also as well as privately. You'll never know if someone on the list has that piece of information for which you are searching! I'm going to be pretty well off-line today; it is the 1st anniversary of my precious Mom's death and I am just going to be a little quiet today.

Colleen, thank you so much for spicing up the list. Now I wish I could find some Monroe County people but I think I've gone past that point. Great post. I think many are afraid to share things - breaking southern taboos. I was raised in that attitude and I sure would love to see it change, for the sake of honesty and genealogical research.

Hello Listers, I recently came across some information about the Wheeler and England families in Monroe Co. They lived there from the mid 1830’s to beyond 1870 and I am hoping that perhaps someone on the list might have some additional information to add to what I have learned. My ggrandfather was Richard Wheeler, born 1837 in MC, the son of Lewis Wheeler and Rhody Gentry. I was given information recently that he might have been the natural father of Thomas B Wheeler b 1855, daughter of Nancy Creek (later married to Barton England). Richard left MC after 1860 and moved to Kansas, where he enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War. Two of Richard’s brothers – James and Simon married sisters to Barton England – Nancy and Melinda Jane. There were other connections to these families as well. The information I was given recently suggested that the Wheeler and England families were not well liked in Monroe Co. There was also a suggestion that daughters or female descendants of Thomas B Wheeler were involved in witchcraft. Does anyone have any information about these family stories? I recently sent an email to Dayton Birdwell in care of the Tompkinsville Library and asked if he knew anything about these stories, but I haven’t received a reply as yet. Thanks for any help, Colleen Lill Canada

Just a head's up. For many of you who have been on the list some time; you know that periodically a book company spams the rootsweb lists. The sender is always different and telling how they were able to get wonderful genealogy books from this site etc. It is impossible to block them; with a constant changing of the sender's name, it's not caught. Well, they're at it again. Volunteers are trying to get ahead of this; as of last night, they were spamming any list beginning with "D" - there must be several of these individuals. Others spam the various lists like ours. If a message gets through to these lists - don't respond. It's just pure spam and the company doesn't have the best reputation. Just delete the message.

Just a quick note to let you know that a DOS program CAN run on Windows 7 if you add a virtual XP to the computer and the printing problems on an older program have been solved. (But learned that when Windows 8 is introduced, the DOS shell will be removed). I think I am back in business again and still reading the Dummy book for Windows 7! Thanks to all of you who tried to help; my tech (Michael Richey at SKCPR here in town) and his assistant fixed it in minutes; it was just one step we were missing.

There were no funeral homes in existence in 1886 in Barren Co. There were morticians as such in various communities - undertakers - but no records exist. Hatcher & Saddler in Glasgow has records back to 1899 (one entry). A F Crow & Son started much later. They are helpful tho and I have both of their records transcribed up to 1961. > To post to lists: [email protected] or [email protected] Sandi's Puzzlers: http://www.gensoup.org/gorinpuzzles/index.php Sandi's Website: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
