List Members, The following is from "Deed Abstracts of Warren County, Kentucky 1797-1812" compiled by Joyce M. Murray, p. 59. >> Page 93 18 Mar 1808 John JONES and wife, Elizabeth JONES, Scott Co, Ky, to William JONES, for $2.00, Tract on North side of Big Barren River and a part of Military Survey of 1000 acres of John BAILEY, to line of said JONES, being 612 acres (is a "chance at the land"). Acknowledged before John HAWKINS, Clk, County Court, Scott Co, KY. Wit: None listed. >> Can someone explain what is meant by "a chance at the land" in this instance? The 612 acre tract was sold for only $2.00. I assume that the land lies in Warren Co, KY. Also, I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows the identity of John and Elizabeth JONES and/or William JONES as named in the deed. Thanks, Robyn Collins (researching JONES in Bourbon, Warren, Logan, and Simpson Counties)

Would one of you do me a favor? I need one of you who also subscribes to KYBARREN to make a copy of this morning's post on William Dishman's pension application, and post to KYBARREN. I finally cleaned out my mailboxes and just realized that I didn't post it to the KYBARREN list. It would save me retyping everything and that means a lot right now! If you're on the KYBARREN list and see if posted, the rest of you can fall back and relax. Many thanks. My post might be late in the am (if I sleep in a bit) as I have a morning appt with my eye doctor again. Thanks much - Sandi Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/

Good morning! Another week is starting and I'm trying to get back to an almost "normal" schedule - no progress on the eye but I am determined to whip this!!! Charlie has posted this week's puzzler; I decided to give you an easier one this week to make up for all the difficult ones I've been sending your way. Click on the URL in my signature line called gensoup and take a guess! I mentioned last week that I was going to tell you about a brand new book that I'm impressed with - if you want to learn a lot about Kentucky - its history, counties, statistics, etc. etc. this is an excellent choice. Many of you know the name of Thomas CLARK who recently died - THE historian of KY. His foundation, in Lexington, just published a book entitled "Premier Edition Clark's Kentucky Almanac and Book of Facts, 2006. I was asked to contribute information on Barren Co - there is a write-up on every county and I received a complimentary copy. Some of the topics included in this 769 page book includes: History of the State, Women in Ky History, KY in the Civil War, Wars and Conflicts, honor recipients, Lewis and Clark, historical markers. There is a section of State Government and Politics - going thru the history of the state and its various histories and offices. There is a section on historical documents, federal government (including the Trail of Tears), counties (history of each one), weather and climate, culture and the arts, astronomical calendar for 2006, notable Kentuckians, business and economy, agriculture, family trends and society, health and science, education, religion, law enforcement and crime, recreation and travel, sports and media. Hundreds of pictures, lots of great information. I haven't had time to go thru page by page but I really like it! The book is available from The Clark Group, P O Box 24766, Lexington KY 40523-4766. It is available in soft back for $19.95; or hardback for $29.95. Shipping is $6.00 per book; KY residents add 6% sales tax. I have the softback version, as much as I will use it - could have used the hardback! I have no connection, no money will line my pockets over this ... but it is so informative - the old trails, waterways, navigation, it's all covered. They have a web site also: www.kyalmanac.com When not posting to the lists, I am continuing to work on the updated cemetery book that Martha Powell Harrison and I have been compiling since 1992. Martha is doing all the county cemeteries; I believe at last count she has compiled over 190 unrecorded cemeteries (from the historical society publication of 1992) and about 5,000 unrecorded burials. Since her records and mine are so massive, we are going to have to publish this as two separate books. I am taking the city cemeteries, cremations, burial of Barren Countians out of county/state; corrections to the 1992 book. I am indexing my portion now; I only have 90 pages indexed and have over 6,000 names in the index so far and there are 255 pages of new information. Both of us are including extra information about the individuals when available. I have, on a majority, parents' names, spouses names, sometimes occupations or how they died, marriages on some. We obtained this information from the death certificates, every newspaper from the area still in existence (on microfilm), working with 3 funeral homes who turned over all their records to me, the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery master records, etc. When in Bowling Green at the KY Library, I went thru their burial permits and found Barren Co citizens who were buried there and several funeral home records there. Many of the deaths go back to the late 1800's and up thru the end of April 2006. This would cover peoople born back into the 1840's! It has been a massive and long-time project - well, about 16 years' worth of compiling the information and hunting down cemeteries. So - if I'm quiet, it's not always the eye - but I'm indexing! That's it for today. I have another eye appt tomorrow in the morning; if I don't get my posts made in time, I'll do it when I return. Have a great day and a great week!

Minute book 5, p. 161; 20 Aug 1832 William DISHMAN appeared before the County Court; had been a resident of Barren County, was age 77 years. Enlisted in the Army in the year 1776 with Capt. Alexander DICK; served in the 3rd Regiment of the Virginia Sate line. He first entered the main service in 1776 for two years under DICK in the county where he then resided at Tapannack. He waited for some time for a vessel; none of the vessels that were owned by the State of Virginia were fit for service. Some of the soldiers read letters purporting that those Marines stationed at Tapahammock (sic) should be put aboard the row galleries at York or somewhere in the Chesepeake (sic), unless they would enlist in the regular army for three years. He and others then enlisted in the regular Army under DICK. George CATLETT was 1st Lt and Charles THORNTON 2nd Lt. He was ordered to meet at Fredricksburg and went under the command of DICK on board the "Mosquito" said to be on a cruise against the enemy. John HARRIS was the Capt. of the brig and Bird CHAMBERS 1st Lt; George CHAMBERS 2nd Lt. The dropped down to Hampton Rose where they lay until 27 Feb 1777. They then sailed on her to the West Indies where the brig captured a transport ship belonging to the enemy which was loaded with provisions, candles, etc. They carried her to Point Peter Guadelope. He never received any of the prize money. He then sailed on the brig but it was discovered that one of the crew had smallpox. They were obliged to return to Guadalope to innoculate the rest. After they got well they again sailed but after a few days she was captured by a 20-gun vessel, the Riadne, belonging to the British Navy and all on board, including him, were made prisoners. On 4 June 1777, the prisoners and he were carried to Barbadoes where they were imprisoned - maybe at a place called Bridge Town and detained until Jan 1778. A fleet of British merchantment under convoy landed and took the prisoners on board, separating them to different ships. The captain and officers he thinks were sent to England and he and two of his brothers, James and John (both now dead) were put on the same vessel and carried to the Island of Jamaica where they were set at liberty. He and his brothers remained on the island for sometime, at length worked their passage to America on board a British merchant ship commanded by Capt SMITH bound for Philadelphia. By the intercession of a merchant on board - a Scotchman named BISCHANAN they were landed on the Delaware a short distance below Wilmington on May 1778. He and his brothers went to the quarters of Gen SMALLWOOD but he doesn't remember to have seen DISHMAN. Major SMITH gave them a passport to return by way of the held of Elk and Baltimore to Virginia. He recollects that they got to Baltimore on the night that the city was illuminated on account of the news of their late treaty with France. On the return to Virginia he was informed that the regiment had been sent out of the state and he didn't know where to report. He went to the Gov. of Virginia, Patrick HENRY, and was directed to go to Williamsburg. He put himself under the command of Capt WALLER. He served here and after the expiration of the term of enlistment, Lt George CATLETT (then a Captain) gave him a certificate and received a regular discharge from Col. Samuel HARRIS. The discharge is now lost. Sworn to before Wm LOGAN, Clerk. Next week - John BEAVERS.

I'm shutting down in a minute so won't see any replies until morning. A gal on my KYBIOGRAPHIES list just wrote and asked me a question about a town or area called Easter Pass that she was told was around the Burkesville area ca 1800-1850. It isn't listed anyplace, does that ring a bell with any of you Cumberland Countians ... or anyone? Thanks so much and I'll be back in the am with the Barren Co posts, and finally, a new puzzler!

Many thanks to all who responded to my question regarding DNA. Now, I'm really interested! Bobbie Rennie

1870 Federal Census: Kentucky, Barren County, Hiseville Precinct, Cave City PO, page 662B household 367/357 Garnett, Wm - 26 M B, farm hand, KY Parish, Sarah - 28 F B, keeping house, KY Parish, Martin - 6 M B, KY Parish, Catharine - 5 F B, KY Parish, Belle - 4 F B, KY Also in 1860, B. Mills Parrish and William Parrish, both of Barren County, each had a female slave the right age to be Sarah. Sarah does not show up as a free black in that census for Barren County. I would investigate the possibility that Sarah's children were by Wm Garnett. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of an African-American woman named Sarah PARRISH, b:1843? I don't know her husband's name. She was widowed by 1880. Her children were Catherine, b:1865; Belle, b:1867; and Sallie b:1872. I have found her in Hart Co., KY in 1900. Thanks for any help. Mary

I am sorry I forgot to sign my last posting. I have been away from the computer too long. I am the person looking for information on the Davis Family of Hart Co. Margaret Wilson in Louisville.

I have been away from my computer for several weeks and am just now reading some old postings. On 20 April 2006, Sandi posted some Hart CO. deaths for the Davis Family. She list Elizabeth, 53, married, d/o Alex &____(blank) Patten, southside, consumption 18 March 1859. Does anyone have additional information on this Elizabeth Davis. In my database I have a Elizabeth Davis, daughter of John Jay Davis and Elizabeth Jane Patton. Elizabeth Patton is the daughter of Alexander and Sarah Simpson Patton. Elizabeth Davis is the sister of Mary Catherine Davis (1833-1871). Mary Catherine Davis married George David Weller (1827-1871). I know there were several Davis families in Hart CO. and I have corresponded with some ancestors of these other Davis families. I would like to hear from anyone who is related to this Davis/Patton family.

Will someone detail to me the DNA process and how to use it? Bobbie Rennie

Sandi; so glad to hear you're on the road to recovery; keep up the good work. lynn dunk

I think I'm over the worst. I had an appt this morning with my regular eye doctor.. my vision is improving. No pressure on the eyeball, no infection. The slowdown seems to be caused by a build-up of fluid (edema) on the left side of that eye which he said happens. I am on a different kind of eye drop, using a drop every hour for 8 hours today, every 2 hours for the following two days and then every 3 hours. I see him again Tuesday. The fog is gone, the center blurring is still there but I can almost work around it. I THINK we're going to hold off on the other eye's surgery for awhile and stay with glasses; I'm not ready yet to face this again with a wedding coming up - the other cataract is small and it's not bothering me right now and for now he agrees with me. Thank you for the continuining email which I'm trying to answer between putting eye drops in! Hopefully, by Monday when I make the Barren Co posts I'll be seeing much clearer. I want to announce then a new book called the 2006 Kentucky Almanac published by the Thomas Clark Foundation - it is really nice and a lot of you would benefit I think from getting a copy of this book. I'll explain it Monday - and I will not get a cent for plugging it! See you Monday!

At the January 7th 1801 session, present: Gladin GORIN, Howel DOWDEY, William MELTON & John MARSHALL. Ordered that Samuel KEARBY, George GREEN and Edward REAVIS view for a convenient way for a road from Isham REAVIS' mill to Bays Fork and to the Warren Co Courthouse and make report. Ordered that William CHAPLINE (clerk) bind out John PARKER to Robert COLEMAN to learn the farming business. Ordered that William CHAPLINE bind out Elijah PARKER to Gladin GORIN to learn farming. Ordered that the same bind out William PARKER to Edward REAVIS to learn farming. Ordered that same bind out Samuel PARKER to Isham REAVIS to learn farming. Adjourned, s/o John ROUNTREE, J P. Note by Sandi: Here are likely 4 brothers, all bound out to different families. Did you ever wonder when checking the old census records (prior to 1850), when the males and females residing in the household are shown, if they are all children of the head of the household? Could one or more be bound children residing with the family? Interesting thought!
