As you know, I have been working with the Barren Co Death Certificates. One of the most frustrating things is when you lose an ancestor from the county - did they die and no record? No stone or cemetery gone? Did a female ancestor marry and you don't know their married name? Or - did they move out of Barren Co and die elsewhere? I have been going through the death certificates for Barren Co for citizens who were born here but moved to another county in the state. (not out of state) and died there. They will not be listed with the Barren Co death certificates but in the county where they died. I will soon be presenting a book of 164 death certificates (actual images) of those I've found. Instead of hunting for a specific surname through all the certificates or searching year by year, this will be a concise listing of those deaths and copies of the death certificate. I will be covering 1911 through 1913 when done. Instead of offering an index - here are the death certificates for 1911. The other two years will follow soon. I need to be away from the computer today but will also send 1912 in a separate e-mail. I have not finished the 1913.

GREEN CO: Married at the residence of the bride's father, at Greensburg, Ky., on the 26th of May 1874, by Eld. R. A. HOPPER, Mr. B B SCOTT and Miss Velleria TOOMEY, all of Greensburg. HART CO: George WALLER and Sallie RAGLAND, of Glasgow, and Wm. W. CURLE and Pearl B. TUCKER, of Hart county, were married in Jeffersonville yesterday by Esq. HAUSE. (Louisville Commercial Friday, to the Times, 16 June 1897). Miss Clark CRADDOCK, of Munfordville, mention of whose mysterious burning was made in THE TIMES of last week, died Sunday night. Miss Craddock was one of the most accomplished and popular young ladies of Hart and her tragic death has cast a gloom over the whole community in which she lived and died. Mrs. Craddock, the mother, who was burned at the same time, is now in a most serious condition on account of her injuries. (9 June 1897). Mr. W. W. JONES, of Munfordville, and Miss Lettie RICE, of Uno, will be united in marriage at the home of the bride on Wednesday, June 22. They are among the most popular young people of the county, and their many friends will hear of their happy union with much delight. (2 June 1897). Mr. Chas A. HUBBARD and Miss Minnie Lee MANSFIELD were married in the Union Church at Rowletts last Thursday morning at ten o'clock. Rev. W. MAYFIELD officiating. The groom is the son of Mr. E. R. Hubbard, one of the most progressive farmers of the Rowletts section, and is a very energetic and highly esteemed young man. The bride is the daughter of Mr. L. F. Mansfield, who for a number of yers was prominently connected with the business interests of Rowletts and was a general favorite with everyone, and is possessed of every attribute that is required to make a model wife. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left for Nashville where they will remain several days viewing the Centennial. (2 June 1897) On the evening of May 14, Mrs. Neicy SMITH departed this life, after a lingering illness of consumption. She had been a consistent member of the C. P. church for a number of years and bore her great sufferings with patience and cheerfulness. After appropriate funeral services her remains were buried in the family graveyard, there to await the resurrection morn. Her bereaved husband has the sympathy of the entire community in his affliction. (26 May 1897). John Phillip ROWLETT. A Former Hart County Man Dies in Louisville. Louisville Post, May 19. John P. Rowlett, of Munfordville who was suffocated by escaping gas at Senning's Hotel yesterday morning, died yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the City Hospital. Mr. Rowlett went to the hotel Monday night and was assigned to room 26. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Henry HARTWAY, a guest of the hotel, heard groans in room 26 and burst in the door, where he found Rowlett in an unconscious condition. He was taken to the City Hospital, where he received the best of attention, but all efforts were unavailing. The gas was turned on in the room and it is not known whether Rowlett intended to commit suicide, or simply blow out the gas. He had been drinking heavily for several days. The remains were shipped to Rowletts, Ky. for burial today. (26 May 1897.) MONROE CO: Aunt Sallie CROW, a good old lady of near Gamaliel, died Tuesday night. Rev. W. J. LEVI conducted the funeral services Wednesday evening.

In view of some new information concerning the names of his parents, I am going to post some information about my gg-grandfather Thomas Brown and hope that someone may know something that would help determine his origins. Thomas Brown was born in TN about 1822. This is all I have prior to 1845. About 1845 he married Daniel Hestand's stepdaughter, Nancy Carter, and took over the operation of Daniel Hestand's farm in the Hestand, Monroe Co, Ky area. In the 1850 and 1860 Monroe Co, KY, census records, Thomas Brown and family lived still on the old Daniel Hestand place and Thomas was listed as a farmer. Its a little harder to pinpoint his exact location on the 1870 Monroe Co census but it appears that he is still in the Hestand, KY area. However, in 1870 his profession is given as practicing physician. Now in 1870 a Charles Brown was living in the Hermitage Springs area in Clay Co. This same Charles Brown had earlier been living in Monroe Co in the Center Point area. In 1874 Thomas Brown bought the Hermitage Springs farm from Charles Brown (I have the deed) and Thomas moved his family down to Hermitage Springs. In the 1880 census Charles Brown was back in the Center Point area. Thomas Brown died in Clay Co in 1879. In 1880 his widow and several adult children were in the Hermitage Springs area. I believe that his widow Nancy Carter Brown died in 1896 (from the minutes of Trace Creek Church of Christ). Thomas Brown's oldest daughter Martha Armittie Brown married John Harrison Moore in Monroe Co in 1869 and they migrated to Hill Co, TX, in 1886. This is my line. I have never been able to trace Thomas Brown back past the year of his marriage (c1845) in Monroe Co. My father had given me an incorrect name (Alexander Spear Brown) for Thomas Brown's father and I have wasted some time chasing after this person without any success. I now know how my father came up with this name. The story is too long to tell, but if there is an Alexander Spear Brown he is not related to me. However I believe that I have now learned the names of Thomas Brown's parents. I discovered some genealogical notes written by a descendant (who is unknown to me) of Thomas Brown's oldest son, William Brown. The notes seem to be accurate in those areas where I can verify them. In the notes, the parents of Thomas Brown are given as "Billy Brown" and "Polly Eldridge". Nothing else is said about them. I don't know where they came from, but I do know that there was a large Eldridge clan in early Overton Co as well as a lot of Browns. So can anyone shed some light on this line of Browns? The surname Brown is the 4th most frequently found surname in the Social Security database (Smith, of course, is #1 and Moore is #11). There are many Browns in the Monroe-Clay Co area and also a number of Thomas Browns. I have a list of the children of Thomas and Nancy Brown at the end of this note and a more complete descendancy chart can be found at http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/files/brown/tombrownall.txt Thanks.

Seeking information on the BROWN surname from Maryland. My Browns came to Kentucky from MD in the very early 1800’s. My Kentucky Surnames: BROWN, LUSH, WHITE, GREENWELL All migrated from Maryland to Kentucky about the time of the Catholic Migration. Counties of Interest: Charles County (& unknown counties) Maryland. Nelson, Hardin, LaRue, Hart, Grayson Counties, Kentucky. Main Research Goal: Find parentage of my ggreat grandfather, George Brown born 1812 in Nelson Co, KY. (census records) Married Juliet Ann Lush 15 Feb 1836, Hardin Co, KY. (Marriage bond date 11 Feb 1836) Children: Margaret A., Catherine A, Hillary, Infant Daughter (died young), Juliet A. (died young) James, Abel, Robert A. Benjamin, Francis, Charles Thomas, Thomas, John. John W. Was my grandfather. Lived in Hardin Co. Until about 1850, moved to LaRue, then Hart Cos. Found in all census records up to 1880, Crossroads, Hart Co., Ky. Occupation farmer. George and Juliet both disappear at that point. Both parents were born in MD per census records. George is my brick wall that I have been researching for many years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Normally, I steer away from what is called roll calls. But, it has been a long time since I asked you to post the names you are researching in the south central KY and Barren Co area. To keep it organized (a little at least!) Send an e-mail to the list with the subject line: (COUNTY NAME), SURNAMES As an example - BARREN CO - GORIN, FRANKLIN In the body of the e-mail give as much information as you can such as: Seeking Gorin information in Barren, Warren County for the years 1798 to 1850. Particularly looking for John Gorin, settled Barren Co 1798; died same 1863 etc. etc.... From today through Sunday let's work on the surnames which begin with A through C. The counties covered by this list include: Adair, Allen, Barren, Cumberland, Edmonson, Hart, Metcalfe, Monroe and Warren Co primarily. Lastly, be willing to share information. If you see a post on the list that shows your surname and you have information, you may write them privately - and hopefully, you will post the information to the list also to help others. Remember that if you post to the SCKY list, no one on KYBARREN will see your post unless they are also subbed to that list or vice versa.

I have enjoyed this listing so much, Sandi. .. Thank you! I have done a lot of research on the Hogan's that rest there and their descendant lines over the years. There are a good many and I would be glad to share with others. Some of the other related names are RYAN, GRADY, PENDER or PENDERGRAST, CARROLL, GALLEGAN or GALLEVAN , AUD, and WOODS. I have 20 Hogan's buried there and believe that there should be a couple more. My thanks go out also to Doug Moore and Charles Finn who were kind enough to have helped me in the past. Thanks to All!

Good morning! I wanted to let you know that for a time I am again discontinuing the puzzler of the week. As most of you know, I've had a lot on my plate this year since the death of my precious Mom and I am run slightly "ragged". I'm trying to clear my schedule just a little and catch my breath. I am still heavily involved in settling Mom's estate (goes on forever) and trying to recuperate a little. I enjoy these puzzlers and some of you seem to feel the same. However, the amount of guessers each week has dwindled and I'm shelving it for awhile. I will replace this with a little tip of the week sometimes. Today's tip involves the meaning of the term "heirs and assigns forever" which is found on deeds. What does that really mean? This conveyed to the grantee (the buyer) a fee simple title. The grantee was able to keep the land, sell it, mortgage it - whatever he wanted to do. This is in contract to a "life estate" deed which means that the grantee can only use the land during their lifetime. You will see the latter term in wills where land is given as dower to the widow. When she died or re-married, the land would likely go to one of the children, or divided among the children. See you tomorrow!

News outside of Barren Co. METCALFE CO: Married. At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Nat BOYKIN, of Metcalfe county, Mr. Bob NICHOLS, of Barren, and Miss Mary Boykin, of Metcalfe, Thursday, Sept. 3rd 1874. The parties had intended marrying on the following Sunday, but learning that a chivarari party were preparing to give them a serenade, they married two days earlier, with a view to evading the intending compliment. The chivarari party, however, learning of the change of programme, waited until the ceremony was over and the happy groom had taken his new bride home, when they put in an appearance, and gave the newly-married couple an old-fashioned shivaree. (so spelled throughout). (10 Sept 1874). The Murderous Pistol Again. The inability of a large number of the citizens of our State to go anywhere without a deadly weapon buckled around them has resulted, of late, in an epidemic of serious shooting and cutting affrays. We are informed that one occurred in our sister county, Metcalfe, last Saturday, in which a former citizen of this place was assaulted and killed, after killing his assailants. The version of the affair, as given to us, was as follows: Dr. William SCOTT and a man named WISDOM were neighbors, living five or six miles from Edmonton in Metcalfe County. Some time last week, Wisdom's hogs got into Scott's cornfield and when he came to take them home he drove off some of Scott's hogs. This caused a difficulty between the two men, but no collision occurred at the time. Last Saturday Scott attended a Magistrate's court in which he had in business. Wisdom was also in attendance, accompanied by several friends. During the day Wisdom and his party cursed and other wise insulted Scott5, threatening to take his life if he resented. Late in the evening Wisdom approached Scott, cursing and villifying him and finally assaulting him, when Scott drew a pistol and shot his assailant through the heart, killing his instantly. As Scott turned to walk off, he was fired upon by four of Wisdom's friends, one of the shots taking effect in the back and inflicting a wound from which he died in a few hours. Only one of the parties who did the killing had been arrested of last account. Dr. Scott was a son of Esquire Samuel Scott, of this place, and was raised here. While he was considered a very exemplary young man. Esquire Scott left Sunday, to attend the burial of his son. He has the sympathy of the community in his bereavement. (10 Sept 1874). Last week our Summer Shade correspondent gave the particulars of the accidental killing of Mr. Chris WITTY by the careless handling of fire-arms, and we learn of another accident of a somewhat similar nature, which occurred last Saturday evening. John WILKINSON, a Negro living a few miles south of town, was out hunting, and called at the house of Wash TRIGG (colored). As he entered the yard, some dogs attacked him, and he struck one of them with the breech of the gun, when it was discharged. The all entered his right breast just below the nipple and ranged upwards, killing him instantly. An inquest was held Sunday morning by Esquire SCOTT, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. (23 July 1874).

Another excellent source for KY death certificates is the KY Vital Records Project. It's an all volunteer project that is transcribing the certificates and actually posting images of the KY death certificates on our site. There are more than 297,500 images posted there and are totally free to access. You'll find the project at http://kyvitals.com. The transcriptions are searchable from a link on that page. We have images of almost all of the DCs from 1911-1919. We're currently working on the 1920 certificates. I know there are about 3,000 from 1916 that are not there - we have to digitize that roll of microfilm again as the original images weren't up to our standard and a few that were so faint they couldn't be read so they're not there. We're always looking for volunteers to help process the images and to transcribe them. I encourage everyone to consider joining the volunteers that are working behind the scenes to make these records available. You can also submit certificates to be added to the collection if you have any you want to share. Sherri

I also am a member of Ancestry.com and I love it. However there are a few of the certificates that, while on the index, are not included in Ancestry. There are others I have had to look for in what I call "the hard way." (Looking in the index for someone else who died around the same time, and then looking "manually" from certificate to certificate for the missing one.) Also, Ancestry only has them up until 1953, while the local libraries have them up to about 1959 now. (I have asked Ancestry to update, but so far they haven't.) But I still love Ancestry.com and consider it a good investment if you are researching in Kentucky. Other states have little or no info other than the census records. Peggy Ray
