Over the holidays and a tad beyond, I completed two new books on Barren County. The descriptions are below. This is just for your information; you can write me privately about any questions. Barren County KY Index of Inventories, Sales and Settlements, Volumes 11 through 13. Covering the time frame of 21 Aug 1865 through 30 Nov 1883, these are the estate settlements of those dying without a will. This is an index of the original volumes which have never been indexed and very old and faded. They contain many hundreds of settlements. Shown is the name of the deceased, the Administrator's name (if shown), the type (Inventory and Appraisement, Sale and Settlement), the date documents were recorded, the volume and page number. A wealth of information is to be found in these records. There are some guardianship settlements along with the items the deceased owned, the value of same, who bought the item and how much they paid, bills owed, money due, some spouse and children's name are also shown. Some are rather unusual such as the inventory of one man who owned "two human skeletons, value $5.00"! Family Bibles are mentioned, tombstones to be ordered and the widow's dower. If your ancestor died during this time frame and didn't leave a will, hopefully he will be cited here. 47 pages including full-name index and an explanation of how these records were made and definition of legal terms used. Barren County Kentucky As Reported in Newspapers From Around the United States, 1815-1923. Contains 188 articles from 76 different newspapers outside of Barren County - from Washington, D.C. to Honolulu, Hawaii and many other states and counties in KY. News items range from murders, suicides, lynching, fires, forgeries, "raised bills", two strange elopements, an unusual bondsman and a famous female Civil War spy born in Barren County - to turkeys, bantam roosters, copperhead snakes, foxes and wild dogs. Some reports will make the reader laugh, some cry and some will cause you to just shake your head! Contains some photos and graphics and full-name index. 92 pages.

Just a little extra today. I'm hoping that none of our surnames are about to be extinct! But, according to MyHeritage, names with less than 200 bearers is considered endangered. If any of your kinfolk had these names, you'd better protect them by getting them on a family tree! Last names with less than 20 bearers (people who have that surname): Sallow, Fernsby, Villin/Villan, Miracle, Dankworth, Relish, MacQuoid, Loughty, Birdwhistle, Berrycloth, Culpepper and Tumbler. Endangered last names with under 200 bearers: Ajax, Edevane, Gastrell and Slora. Last names presumed extinct since 2011: Bread, MacCaa, Spinster, Pussett/Puscat/Pussmaid, Bythesea and Bytheseashore. (Interesting names but I used to work for a Mrs. Birdbath!) MyHeritage states they are becoming extinct because they are linked to uncommon professions or geographic areas while names like Smith, Brown and Baker remain popular. Many surnames were wiped out due to war. Some names from Eastern Europe have just become anglicized. And, from my own family tree, there were more girls born in a family than boys who would carry on the family name.

Hi, Branch Hatcher married Phelissa Ann Saunders in 1837 in the Barren County area. Research suggests Phelissas parents are Samuel V. Saunders ( Sanders?) and Sarah “Sarah” Williams. Looking for the parents of Samuel, there are many Sanders/Saunders in the Barren County area at the time. Sarah Williams, parents are James Williams and Martha is appears. If anyone knows of the above, would be interested in any info you care to share. I have done DNA testing and looking to fill in my tree to further connections. Sue

I am cross-posting this to both the SCKY and Cumberland County lists because Wilson Cary and his brothers Henry and Nathaniel, sons of Robert and Mary (Cox) Cary of Chesterfield County, Virginia, have numerous descendants in the area. Sandi, if this is too far off topic for the SCKY list please feel free to delete it. I'm mainly posting this to get it in the searchable archives for future researchers. To recap, traditionally Mary the wife of Robert Cary, son of Thomas and Dorothy (Phillipson) Cary, of Chesterfield County is identified as Mary Jennings, the daughter of William Jennings of Amelia County. Mary was significantly younger than Robert and outlived him by over fifty years, dying in March 1836 at 92 (age given in her obituary).Research into the Jennings family of Amelia County revealed the William Jennings did in fact have a daughter named Mary however she married Oliver Jeter. A Brunswick County, VA, Chancery Case contains a deposition from a Henry Cox of Chesterfield County, dated 12 November 1800, which states: "he was well acquainted with Thomas Cary and Dorothy his wife late of Chesterfield County. That the said Thomas and Dorothy had two sons Robert and Thomas Cary, which Robert intermarried with Mary Cox at which the deponent was present..." With Mary's maiden name established as Cox, NOT Jennings, I began the task of trying to determine who her parents were.I hypothesized Henry Cox of the deposition was probably a close relative of Mary perhaps a brother and identifying his parents might lead me to Mary's parents. I began by reviewing the extant Tithe lists and Tax lists for Chesterfield County to identify all the Henry Coxes who lived in Chesterfield County at one time or another with my main focus being those living their in 1800. The list was actually quite short and I was able to narrow the candidates down to one: Henry Cox who married Elizabeth Chappell and was the progenitor of Coxes of Clover Hill in Chesterfield County (I can go into detail about how I eliminated the other Henry's if anyone would like at a later point off list). I focused on this family but soon discovered this Henry's past was as much a mystery as Mary Cox Cary's. Various internet sites gave lineages for this Henry however once original sources were checked it was obvious all were misidentifications. However one interesting tidbit did turn up. I ordered a copy of this Henry's will and noted he left a small inheritance to Walthall Robertson. This piqued my interest since Walthall Robertson was married twice: the first time to Frances Cox whose father is identified as Henry Cox on their marriage bond and the second time to Ann Cary, the daughter of Robert and Mary Cox Cary. It's very probable Frances father Henry was identical with the Henry Cox of Clover Hill. Perhaps Frances and Ann were kinswomen? Maybe first cousins? Robert and Mary lived close to Henry and Judith (Redford) Cox in Chesterfield County, VA, and they were of the correct age to be candidates as parents for Mary and her posited brother Henry but neither named children Mary or Henry in their wills eliminating them as candidates. Having reached a dead end here I reassessed the problem and developed a new strategy. I was convinced Mary was a descendant, probably granddaughter, of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox based upon the links with their son Henry Cox and his wife Judith Radford so I focused on further documenting their sons John and Richard. I'll begin with John. John has been identified as the John with wife Elizabeth who sell land in Henrico Co in 1736 and had died by 1753 when Henry Cox sell land left to him by his father Richard with the exception of a graveyard where his parents, brother John and John's children are buried. This would appear to completely eliminate John as a candidate however when I consulted the original deed it was apparent it had been grossly misinterpreted. The document actually states the half acre where "Richard and his wife and son's children of my brother John Cox are buried." While the phrasing is awkward, it does note indicate John was dead, so he was once again a candidate. Using the deed abstracts of Weisiger and Davis as guide I reviewed all the deeds mentioning a John Cox to 1774. I found numerous references to various tracts bounding the property of John Cox and Richard Cox on Cornelius Creek until 1757 (I will discuss this more when we get to Richard). In March of that year a John Cox of GOOCHLAND COUNTY, sells 145 acres, no water course given but subsequent transaction indicate it was on or near Cornelius Creek, to William Randolph. The deed itself does not mention his wife's name however the Order Book entry detailing the recording of this deed indicates her name was Elizabeth. From the location of of the property on Cornelius Creek, it bounding Richard Cox's property (actually Hickerson Cox's property, again more on this later), and the name of his wife, it appears Richard and Mary Trent Cox's son John moved to Goochland County by March 1757. Several of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox's daughters also settled in Goochland County (i.e. Mary who married Daniel Fore/Ford/Faure and secondly Matthias Cheatwood; Elizabeth who married Strangeman Hutchins, Obedience who married Philemon Perkins, and perhaps Martha who married James Ferguson/Farguson) John Cox died leaving a will in 1785 in Goochland. He does not name a daughter Mary, eliminating him as a candidate for her father unless he disinherited her or had already given her an inheritance but I don't think that was the case here. With John tentatively ruled out, I turned to his brother Richard. Richard has never been fully fleshed out by Cox researchers. He is assumed to be the father of Hickerson Cox by many however others have identified him as the son of of his brother John Cox. This is not the case if John of the 1785 Goochland will was the son of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox as I believe. While mentioned in the will of his father, Richard was basically disinherited by him for some unknown reason and left the land Richard lived on to Hickerson. Interestingly enough, there are no surviving deeds in Henrico that mention the sale of any property bounding that of a Hickerson Cox however as alluded to earlier there are several references to a Richard Cox's land on Cornelius Creek. The only mention of Hickerson Cox as owning property in Henrico prior to his sale of the tract in Jan 1758 are in the processionings recorded in the Vestry Book of Henrico Parish. In comparing the neighbors mentioned in the processioning with those mentioned as bounding the property of Richard Cox in the deedrecords, I found they were the same individuals. It seems that while the property did indeed belong to Hickerson, Richard was basically in possession of it as his guardian (and probable father) so the land was referred to as Richard's in the land records when bounding property owners were named. When Hickerson sold the land in 1758 he was described as "of Chesterfield County" so I turned once again to the Chesterfield records to see if I could find anything about Richard there. I discovered a Richard Cox who purchased land on Powhit Creek from a Perrin Giles in 1754. This land was adjacent to that of Daniel Fore, husband of Mary Cox (daughter of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox), and near that of Henry Cox (son of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox) and Thomas Cary (father of Robert Cary who married Mary Cox). I subsequently found reference to the sale of two tracts in 1763 by Richard to Hickerson Cox and George Cox in the Chesterfield County Order Books. These transactions were witnessed by Thomas Cary and Matthias Cheatwood (second husband of Mary (Cox) Fore daughter of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox). These deeds were never recorded in the deed books, at least they aren't in the index, so I don't know the particulars of them however in 1772 George Cox along with Richard sells land in Chesterfield. No relationship is stated but I wonder if Richard is included in the sale of the property because in the lost 1763 deeds he sold Hickerson and George the property he purchased from Giles but retained a lifetime interest. There is no mention of a probate for any Richard Cox in the Chesterfield County Will or Order Books nor does he ever appear on the tithe or tax lists. Taking all this into consideration, I feel Richard Cox is the best candidate for the father of Mary (Cox) Cary. He's in the right place at the right time with the proper family connections. Further I believe there is enough circumstantial evidence to identify him as the father of Hickerson Cox and possibly as the father of Henry Cox of the Clover Hill Line and as of yet fully fleshed out George Cox. I should also note I have had autosomal DNA matches to descendants of Richard and Mary (Trent) Cox. These are very distant matches though and one cannot take them as proof of a connection to this couple. There are still many more records to be viewed but this is where things stand at the moment. I hope those interested can follow my train of thought without too much difficulty. Please feel free to send me any comments or questions. Sources are available upon request. Regards, Phil

Joy's daughter has informed us that the service for Joy will be this Thursday, 1-3 at J. C. Kirby Funeral Home in Bowling Green, 820 Lovers Lane. The service will start at 3 pm. Also, for many of you who have been on the list for some time, I just received a telephone call from the son of Tom Pennington of Muncie, IN. Tom, at age 91, passed away on Thanksgiving Day. Now, managing these lists, one makes friends over the years and some become dear friends. Tom was a sweetheart; I met him twice when he came down to do research; some of his family are buried in the Shady Grove Cemetery. He was just one of those individuals that you have an immediate friendship with - a sense of humor, a love of life and his love of genealogy. We shared meals at a local fast food place, talked genealogy and laughed a lot. He did not look or act his age, he was a young man at heart. I grieve his passing along with Joy's .... the Lord has called two precious souls.

Let's take a look for a time at some of the deaths that occurred in Metcalfe County that were reported on the vital statistics reports - before the issuance of death certificates in 1911. There is a lot of information that was recorded and, as with all such information, errors could occur. Not all deaths likely were not reported due to the physician forgetting to write the information down; some likely did not have a physician present, names were sometimes not spelled correctly, etc. But it is well worth the researcher to go through these records. They are now only available on microfilm which is housed at the KY Department of Libraries and Archives in Frankfort, KY, but many have been transcribed. I worked off the microfilm and for those of you who have read the old microfilm - some are very difficult to read! Thus, errors might occur here too. If you have additional information or corrections, you are welcome to post to the list. These are not all the deaths recorded. In this series, I am going to give you a little more information that was recorded - this varied from year to year.All were born in Metcalfe Co unless shown otherwise.

It is with such deep sadness that I've learned that Joy Lyons passed away this morning at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. If you didn't know Joy, you missed a blessing. She had been associated for many years with Mammoth Cave; a frequent speaker for our historical society, a go-getter in the purchase and continuing preservation efforts of Bell's Tavern in Park City. From the first time I met Joy after moving here 25 years ago, we have shared information - the love of history and genealogy. She lost her battle against cancer as yet a young woman; she fought bravely to the end. For those of you who knew Joy - you knew joy. I have no details at the present time. Please say a prayer for her husband David (just left office as Mayor of Park City) and their two daughters.
