    1. [SCKY] J BOSLEY CARTER #4
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. We onley had to wait here a short time for a boat to take us on to Nashville, where we arrived without anymore thrilling incidents. At Nashville had had to again reship on the Cumberland river to near th head waters of navigation, but we were not so luckey in getting a boat. There was onley one small boat running up this river, and it onley made a thrue trip about once in a fortnight. We had to remaine here two or three days. But finaly we were advised that the boat would be along at a certain hour in the day, and we were hustled to the river, and on board of the little boat This steamboat was called the "Burksville" which was the name of a town situated at the head of Navigation, on the Cumberland river, and was the county seat of Cumberland county. To the people of to day this little boat would not be considered worthy the name of a passenger transportation. Its propelling force up stream could have been exceeded by a good healthy team of horses. The escapement of it stream made a continuous, whistling noise that sounded in the distance like the scream of a wild animal. When the boat made its first trip, in the country where it passed in the night time, the people were greatly alarmed, believing that some wild animal was at large. The distance that we had to travel was not great, and was soon ended, without any startling incident. ooooooo OOOOOOO ooooooo Chapter II We landed at "Cloid's ware house, or ferry, either name was sufficient. As was usualy the case when a steamboat was due, quite crowd greeted us at the landing, which was incidental, as no one knew of our coming, but among the crowd, there were many of our relatives, and friends of my mother, who escorted us to their homes, wirh real KY hospetality. At that time southern hospetality was perverbial and notorious the world over. Even strangers were entertained, and lodged, with no thought of compensation, even the offer of which on the part of the sojourner, would have been offensive. I remember that we spent some weeks visiting around amoung relatives, and friends, till we finaly reached the home of Uncle Joseph which was a part of the Old Carter homestead. My father had at one time owned a part of this homestead, but I do not think that he realised much out of it. In some way a deed had passed to our uncle Joseph, and it is possible that a promise was given to pay a certain purchas price. But as business was done largely on the credit system, I doubt that it was ever paid, which I think my mother knew but as uncle had been very kind to us in many things, she could not complaine. I do not recall how long we lived with my uncle but I am sure that it was several months. Finaly a move was made in the community to provide us a home, and the neighbors all turned out, and built us a round long cabbin, in rather an out of the way place on my uncle's farm. The site was selected by my mother because that it was away from the public highway. While she was a very good woman, she was a very great coward, especialy as to the negro population, whom she regarded as being morraly unreliable. The house was a very crude affare. The floor was constructed out of poplar slabs, fastened to the lower joists with wooden pins, and was very open and rough, being smothed with a broad ax. In one side was and opning, which was closed with a wooden shutter. The fire place was onley built up half way, and semed to draw the wrong way, and we were often litterly smoked out of the house. Taking the house as a whole when completed farmers now a days would hardley consider it good enough to stable their horses in but as there were many in the country that were no better, if as good we considered that we were rather fortunate to get this cabbin as a donation. My mothers love of a home was sincere, and unbounded, and when she gathered her little family within its walls, and gave such hearty thanks for the privelege, we felt that it was good enough for anybody. We now set to work in earnes{t} to make a living, and make our selves comfortable. My mother was a great sufferer from asthma, which often rendered her incompetent to perform any kind of labor. I frequently had to sit up with her all night, and give her warm teas, when I thought that she would not live till morning. I did not know that asthma rarely kills people. My mother did all kinds of work such as spinning and weaving. The wool, or cotten had to be made into rolls with hand cards, and I became quite an expert in the use of them. I would card the rolls, while mother would spin them into thred. During the day I would gather dry sticks with which to keep a light in the fireplace to enable us to work at night, which was often prolonged to a late hour. I will say in passing, that I was now nearing my ninth birth day, but felt that I had the responsibilities of a man resting upon my shoulders. Besides having an inordinant ambition to acquire a home, I had an ever present desire to become educated, and I devoured all the books that I could get ahold of, which were few indeed. There was very little literature in circulation amoung the poor, and middle classes. The onley newspapers that I remember to have seen, was a few copies of the Louisville Journal. I cant remember when I first could read, but up to this time I had never entered a school room, all that I knew I learned at home. When I could get nothing else to read I fell back on the bible, which I devoured greadily. On nights, when I was not engaged in helping my mother I would lay with my head to the fireplace, and read by a brush light. There were no public schools then as now, and only the well to do could afford to send their children to a subscription school. My mother desired greatly that I should have school priveleges, and through the influence of wealthy friends got me into a subscription school, but after a trial of three weeks, found that the rich children imposed upon me so much, that she took me out, and I did not attempt to go again while we remained in the state. My mothers health failed so badly that it became necessary for me to do what I could towards making a living. Wages in those days were very low, and it was hard for a boy to get work at any price. When I was elevn years old I hired out to a farmer at $25.00 dollars a year. It was several miles to the home of my employers home, and I could onley make occasional visits to my mothers home which was the greatest privelige of my life. Language would fail to convey to the reader the pride that inspired my boyous heart, over being able to help my mother support the family. Every moment of my short visits were spent in visiting with my mother, and planning for the future. I continued to work for $25.00 a year till I was 14 years old. In the latter part of my 14th year I was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism, and was not able to do any work till spring, which was a great calamity, but in some way we lived. The people where ever we lived were kind to us, and when misfortune overtook us, helped us to weather the storm. With the springtime came health, and I was able to go to work again. I was now well along in my 14th year, and was able to do a mans work, but had to accept a boys wages. We did not realize that great changes were in store for us, and that ere the year should close we would be in another state. About two years before, my Uncle Joseph, had removed to Warrick County Indiana, and he was so well pleased with the country, that he wrote us that he was coming after us in the fall, to remove us to his new home, and to get ready by the first of October, which as I recolect was the fall of 1849. It was a great day for me when we were loaded into my uncle's wagon, and bid farewell to the land of our nativity, possibly for ever. I will here explain that there was not sufficient room in the wagon and I was told that I would have to walk. Besids my mothers family there was an aunt and her husband, and her two children, and the bedding for bothe families. I received my orders with heroic resignation. The excitement of travel was upon me and I felt equal to any undertaking. A decription of our train will, I opine be interesting reading for those who have had no experience in, or observation of the mode of imigration 60 years ago. My uncle's wagon was a two horse concern with a long stiff toungue, the horses were driven without, the driver sat on the leader, with the off horse tied to it, with a rope halter. There were two other wagons in our train, which were driven in the same way. All of the men folks, except the drivers had to walk, which would not have been very exhausting, if the weather had kept dry. I for one started out in the morning in great sperits and kept it up till in the afternoon, when one of those characteristic southern autumnal rains came down upon us, and continued till after nightfall. We were all wet to skinn, and we soon had to wade mud and water at evry step. But I did not get greatly discouraged. I regarded it as a part of a program in travel that had to be indured, and I knew that it could not be avoided. We had a distant relative living on the road, whose place we desired to reach before camping, but it was about dark when we got there. We got shelter for the women and children but the men folks had to sleep in the wagons, which were {not} very comfortable. The weather cleared up during the night and remained so during the entire trip. We were enrout earley and made a good days travel. The onley incidedt that is worth recoording was that I was advised in the morning that we would pass the residence of my great grandfather Hudgens, on my motthers side of the house. This information did not inspire me greatly. I considered that I had not lost any relatives of that kind, and I was not particularly interested in finding any. I remember that we went into camp for dinner at a creek, and a house on the hill was pointed out to me, as being that of my grandfather, and that when we had eaten our lunch we would go ahead while the horses rested and visit the old people. When a boy, and up to my earley manhood I was painefully timid or bashfull. I had an abiding horror of a s{c}ene, such as the meeting or parting of friends, and on this occassion I figurd that there would be more or less of a sensation, either at meeting or parting, which I made up my mind I would not witness, and when they all got ready to go they could not find me, but I knew that I would have to pass the house, but I figured that I could keep out of sight behind some of the wagons. When the wagons moved out I followed close in, but when we neared the house I found that the folks had all gone on a walk, and therefore that there would not be any kind of a parting sene for me to witness, and I became more bold. The old gentleman was standing at the gate, and called to me to know who I was, and my timidity all left me, and I felt quite asshamed of my conduct. He was very venerable. I think that they told me he was then in his 96th year, and he lived to be more than a 100 years old. to be continued next week.

I am curious about this application. For one thing, the dates don't work. He moved to Ky in 1855 but his wife was a widow in 1853? I did find on another site that Haley moved to Kentucky in 1822 but that does not solve all the date problems. Another question. Who is this William Moody? To be a fellow soldier, he would have to be extremely old in 1848. No one that old shows up on area census reocrds. Does anyone have a copy of this record and could clarify any of this? I have a William Moody born in 1797 whose father, Edmond Moody, could have been the "fellow soldier". William still lived in the area at this time but Edmund had moved from the area and died in Illinois by 1838. Is it likely that William Moody could have testified for his father? I would very much like to see a transcription or photocopy of this record. Thanks, Joyce Page Collins

    1. [SCKY] IN CLOSING MONDAY 23 APR 2007
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. Good Monday morning! A couple of notes. As a reminder for those of you in the Barren Co vicinity. Thursday night, 7 pm, South Central Ky Cultural Center, 200 Water Street, Glasgow. Scott Fife will be our speaker and Scott is very knowledgeable on the soldiers of the Civil War. He'll be speaking on some of the men who served on both sides, burial locations and other interesting facts about the war involving soldiers in this area. The program is always free with ample parking. You're all welcome! I am back to an almost normal schedule this week - and as we all know - family is important in genealogy. I've been spending the past 4 days or so with one of my dearest first cousins from the other side of the US from me; the first time we've seen each other for 55 years! Well, that dates me but ... what a marvelous time to gather information on our mutual families who have been spread so far apart all these years! It was a wonderful visit and now back to the "real world". Sadly!! Have a great day!

    3. No- They were Newell's. There were Newell families here early through at least 1831 when the last married. No misspelling. Sandi

    2. Hello all . . . Was wondering if the William Newell (Oct 1801) and the Robert Newell (Nov 1801) could possibly be William Jewell and Robert Jewell? I am referring to Sandi's posting shown below. I can't remember seeing a Newell family in the area before but I could be wrong. Could it be a mispelling? Thank you for your thoughts and help . . .

    1. [SCKY] GLACIER GIRL
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. I need some detectives! For those of you on my KYRESEARCH list, I started a 2-3 part series on the "Glacier Girl". It has generated a tremendous amount of interest and I'm trying to locate her. For those of you not on the list, you'll need to read part 1 which is archived at: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.tips/mb.ashx to realize who I'm talking about. The last word I had is that she was sold and is somewhere in TX. TX is a big state. Several possibilities that have been provided to me include Brownsville and Midland TX. Our family was on its way to see the Girl a few weeks ago when we learned that she had been sold and I doubt if we can make it to TX to see her, but out of pure curiosity and love for the old gal, would love to know if she is safe there and not scrapped. If you are in the TX area and have seen something on her arrival, let me know would you? Or - not in TX but know! This is such a unique story ..... she was at the Lost Squadron Museum but it has closed in KY. Thanks so much - I'm in and out as my cousin arrived last night and after 50 years of being separated, we have a lot of catching up to do!

If so, I'm also wanting to know what the name of it is and if there has been a "census" of it? I'm looking for Martin's and Mitchell's that MIGHT be buried in that Cem. Thanks, Chrystal

    1. [SCKY] 1850 Barren Census Survey
    2. Charles Hartley
    3. I have a little project going and I can use your help. In examining the 1850 Barren County census, I have noted 4 instances of a child's age being given in days (ie. 3/365), and in 8 instances the age given as two weeks (ie. 1/24). Then there are numerous instances of children one month old. The census taker was supposed to base the age on a certain date in 1850, but I've been curious to know how closely he stayed to it. Below are listed all of the individuals I've located who were one month or younger in the 1850 Barren County census. If you know for certain when one of these children were born (month and day), please let me know. I am not researching anything about them other than their birthdate. Thanks.

    3. It was a hapy day for me when my father announced that on the morrow we would go home. To be on the watter appealed to my boyish pride, and ambition, besids I wanted to see what had ben the results of the great flood, it was rather a tedious journey throgh the dens cainbrakes, and cyprees knees, but we finaly landed neare where our field of corn had stood when we went out, of which nothing remained but a thick coating of mud, several inches deep. My father took my mother in his arms, and waded with her to the house, and then came back for us children, and carried the two youngest ones and bade me follow, as best I could, which I was prowd to be able to do. Our home was in a sorry plite, it was mud, mud evrywhere My fahter had washed the floor, and walls the day before, and they of course were very damp, and should not have used for living purposes for a month at lest. We had better to have lived without where we were, than to have gone into this damp place. I am satisfied that it was here we drank in the malara, that brought the whole family down with fever and ague, that hung on to us the entire time that we remained in the state, and came very nearley ending all of our lives. I am not sure as to dates, but as prety certain that we landed in the state of Mo, in the earley part of 1841, and left the state en the earley part of 1843. I am guided in fixing time by my age, and that of the other children. The hot sun quickly dried up the mud, and vegitation sprung up and covered the marks of the flood so that those on the trees onley remained. The rest of the summer passed with me rather plesantly, till the early fall, when the fever and ague bagan to get in on me, but my blood was so pure that it required some months to produce a noticable effect, at that time the country abounded with much wild fowl, many of them showing very gaudy plumage, and semed to vie with each other in the melody of their songs. I spent all my spare time in the woods viewing their gaudy plumage, and listing to their sweet carrols. Some time in the latter part of the year we left the river front, and removed back to the first "ridge" as id was called by the natives, where we would not be disturbed by the overflow of the Miss river. I remember that I regreted to leave the river, where I could watch the great streamers as they plowed up and down its turbid waters. Baring sickness, our second summer passed rather plesantly, and ratther prosperously. My father succeeded in gathering in some stock several milch cows, and three good head of horses. He had secured a kind of preemtion, or squatters right to the place on which we lived which he would have perfected in a year or two if he had lived. At that time the money products of the country, consisted of cotton, which was exchanged for flower, and groceries, save enough to make their clothing, which they spun and wove in their homes. The country abounded in wild meat, which anyone could have in he owned a gun, and was marksman enough to kill it. The squirls were so thick that one had to herd them out of the cornfields, if he made any corn. My father being a very energettic man, made a good crop in summer, and soght work abroad in the winters. During the winter of 42 & 3 he secured work in the management of a grist, and saw mill several miles away, and it was while working here that he contracted a cold, that in a short time developed into winter fever, and eppidemic that swept over the entire country that winter, and many died for want of medical attention, as did my father. Our resident doctor was taken down with the disease, and the onley medical help that could be had was at New Madred, some 18 miles away. We ordered a physician from that town, but he reached my father two late to save his life, and he had to die, leaving us in a helpliss condition. Myself and sister were both down with the feve, and my younges brother, who was something over a year old had to have continual care, and close attention. The situation was so distreessing that it cast a cloud over my young mind that I could never that it cast a cloud over my young mind that I could never dispell entirely, a kind of nervous dreat semed to take held of me, and was ever present with me afterwards, while the neighbors were sympathetic, and helpful, it was a matter of necesity, rather than love that secured their benefactions. My father was rather puritanical in his religeous views, and practice, and his criticism of what he considered wrong, was most sevier, and he had seriously offended many of these people, and I think that it was the respect for my mother that enabled us to secure their kind offices. The most critical situation, can not last; there must be a turning point, one way opr the other; and our case was not an exception to the general rule; suffice it to say that we survived. As soon as my mother could dispose of our stock, and we were able to be removed, we all went to the "Tuckers", a family, and friends that came with us from KY, where we remained till my fathers brother uncle joseph carter could reach us from KY. Which he did some time in February, and as soon as possible we removed to the river at the place where we landed, when we reached the country. We stoped at the widow Wimps, who was most kind to us, taking care of us while we were waiting for a boat, which required several days as this was onley a woodyard, it was hard to get boats to land for passengers. We had to use a signal flage during the day, and a torch light at night. Of course we had to be ready to embark at once, in case that a boat responded to our call. It was in the night time that a steamer responded to our call by blowing its whistle, which warned us to get ready to go right on board. Our little household effects were placed where the rousabout could get them easily, and quickly, the landing of a large steamboat at night, as well as in the daytime is an imposing specticle, and is sure to draw a crowd, if in reach. Quite a little croud had gathered to see us off. When the boat officers found that they would get onley deck passengers, with a very megar amount of freight, they indulged in more profanity, than was elegant, but they ordered us put aboard, and in a hurry. In the hurry, and excitement my mother did not notice that the woman that held her baby boy had not come aboard, till the boat was pushing out from the shore. Her peircing screams brought evrybody to attention, even the deck hands, one of whom ran out on the gang plank, and lying down was able to grasp the boy from the womans arms, and deliver him to my mother. Another incident effected us children greatly. We had a little black feist, called music which we had lost sight of, till we heard her howling frantickly to be taking on board, but too late. The pet was left behind, but evidently cared for, on our account if no other. We were soon snugly tucked in for the night, and out of danger which was a great consolation for my mother. Her nerves had been terably everwroght by the events of the evning, and could have stood little more. Our boat arrived at Smithland, about the middle of the forenoon the next day, where we had to reship onto a boat running up the Cumberland river, while our boat proceeded on its way up the Ohio river. In the excitement of disembarking, I had too many gauke eggs on hand, which I did not dispose of intime to pass out onto the wharf boat with the rest of them, of which I was made startlingly concious of, when I heard my mother scream out that her boy was being taken away. In this instance the ganglank had been taken in, but a strong man picked me up, and ran to the sturn of the boat, which had not parted greatly from the wharfboat yet, and handed me across the chasam, into willing hands. It semes that, even then my destiny was towards the great free north land. to be continued next week.

    3. Good morning and I hope spring weather is getting closer, the rains and storms stop along the east coast and other areas! I wanted to give you a report on my trip to Frankfort and a little other information. The program Saturday for the Kentucky Historical Society and Kentucky Genealogical Society was tremendous! Despite chillier weather and a goodly amount of rain, there were approximately 100 people in the monthly seminar held at the Kentucky Historical Center. If you've never visited the Historical Center and researched in their library - I hope you can soon. The facilities are wonderful, the museum is great and the library is outstanding. The monthly seminars are co-sponsored by the KHS and KGS and the topics are varied and interesting. I will begin posting about 2 weeks in advance the topics and if possible the speakers. There is never any charge for the courses, pre-registration is needed (normally closing on Thursday before the program), and box lunches are provided at a reasonable fee if you so desire. I went up the night before and enroute, the gentleman from there who provided transportation took me over to Pleasant Hill Shaker Village. Oh my goodness! We arrived only 1/2 hour before closing but were able to take a driving tour of the huge acreage, visit the gift shop (temptation!), talked to the gentleman in charge of their livestock and thus refreshing my knowledge of my farm days; they raise sheep, goats, cattle, chickens, turkeys, etc and have 2 beautiful percherons who annually pull a funeral wagon when a Shaker funeral recreation is done. We, along with my host's wife ate at the Shaker Inn there and I know I gained a few pounds - it is some of the finest food I've eaten in years in a wonderful atmosphere. If you want to learn more about Pleasant Hill, do a web search, there are several excellent sites that show pictures of the area and what is available there. Saturday, I spoke for the morning session and the afternoon session on Genealogy 101. It was a receptive audience with quite a few beginning genealogists and some who were wanting to pick up some "tricks of the trade" that perhaps they hadn't thought of. I started with the extreme basics of beginning with oneself and working backwards, using tape recorders, what you'll find in the County Clerk's office (and how to act!), what is found in the wills, deeds, marriages, Bible records and of course, the census records - including clues one can find in the 1850 census and beyond that we often over-look. The session was again videotaped and I imagine I gave the videographer fits as I moved around a lot from an overhead projector into the audience. We took a question and answer session also. The presentation will be shown on the local access station in Frankfort several times and in a few weeks I will order the cd to see how it came out (scares me!) It is always a treat to speak for these groups, the sessions have grown from a small turn-out to a hundred or more participants monthly; the enthusiasm is contagious and has breathed a fresh breath of life into those who attend. One gentleman drove all the way from West Virginia to hear the presentation and that is humbling!!! I was able to meet a few of you from the lists and that's always a treat!! Now - to another topic. I am going to be in and out for a period of maybe 6 weeks, starting soon. I am having a lot of remodeling done on my home which is of course my office also thanks to the owner of my humble abode. Most of the time I'll be able to work around the confusion, sometimes not. I will also be rather out of sight from this Friday through next Tuesday as a dear cousin of mine is flying in Friday; we haven't seen each other since she was 4 and I was 8. I'll be able to keep up with my posting to the lists but any queries might be held until after the visit. And, it's almost time to start on the summer quarterly plus our local society meeting. I trust you all have a great day; I'll see you tomorrow with more of the Carter story.
