I am looking for a Davis family.Jefferson Davis son of John and Althea Davis sold land in Trigg County Ky that he inherited from his parents to his brother Washington Davis.Not sure if Jefferson was his first name or middle name or if Washington was his brothers first name.Could be Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.I found a Washington Davis in Green County Ky and a George Washington Davis that moved to Texas from Green County Ky.Don't know if they are the same people but can't find a Washington Davis after the 1840 Green County Ky census.Any help would be most appreciated.

Hope it was a good one ! Della ----- Original Message ----- > > > > 1.

I am researching James Wade Cassity. His name got spelled many other ways in Census. I am looking for him In Monroe, Allen, Barren and Edmonson Counties KY. He was born in Smith County, TN. Some say Jackson County TN. His parents were Elias and Emiline Long Cassity. Some of his siblings were William Bedford Casada, Henry Thomas Cassetty, Mart C Cassity, any information appreciated. He would have lived in these counties around 1880 to 1920. I think his wife was named Betty. -- Jeannie God Bless God Speed kymonroe@rootsweb.com ancestraltrackers.org

What a shame. I have not been to the Hart Co. Courthouse, but the courthouses in Cumberland, Adair, and Russell Counties were very welcoming. They all just waved me towards the old record books and indexes and said "help yourself" and were extremely nice. I'm so sorry she traveled so far only to find one of the few unfriendly and unhelpful people in Kentucky!

BYBEE, HOLMES -----Original Message----- From: Jeannie Sadler via Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 11:43 AM To: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCKY] Names Sue What names are you researching? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I have four surnames in Louisville pre civil war, Cavaline, Goobrad, Frank and Fuller, they are all related to one another either by blood or marriage. This is a complicated family, I will have to admit. The matriarch of the family is Margaret nee Cavaline. Her parents and her husbands first names are not known. She first married a Mr. Goodbrad, when he died, she married a Mr. Frank. I havent found Margaret in any census prior to 1860. I have Cavaline which could be Caveline also. In the 1850 census, name transcribed as Caslin or something close. Two names after Nick Cavaline in the census is my John Goodbrad. Also John Goodbrad, who immigrated to the US from Germany early 1830s. His younger half brother was Thomas Jefferson Frank who supposedly was born in MD( I don’t have a town nor county) in about 1833/34. They didn’t stay in MD long because they were in Cincinnati until John Goodbrad was 14? which would be sometime in the early 1840s . According to John Goobrads own letters in 1890 the family moved to Louisville to be Margarets sister. I don’t have a first name. She supposedly married a Mr. Fuller, no first name who worked as a Carpenter. There is a Valentine Fuller listed in 1850 census, but Elizabeth is listed as his wife, I don’t believe she is a Cavaline. Too little to work with there. In 1855 the Cavaline brothers John and Nick are in Memphim, I find them in a Memphis city directory. Nick is married there in 1853. He then has 7 children. He dies in 1864 Memphis. I don’t find it was due to war service. Both men enlisted in the Civil War. I don’t know what becomes of John, his trail goes cold. Sue

Sue What names are you researching?

Hi All, Because I have family from the south-central KY area I am on this list. However I have recently learned an entirely different line, migrated to Louisville area for a time. From 1835 to about 1860 give or take, they were in Cincinnati immediately before landing in Louisville. They were in Mobile as of 1860 census. So, that means I wish to do research in Louisville during those years. I find a little in the census, looking for more if possible. Is there a RootsWeb group like this one I can join to help me out? Not being from KY, not sure where to turn. Thanks for any direction. Sue

Hard to keep track - this is our sister society in Bowling Green, not the South Central KY Historical & Genealogical Society here. Sounds like an interesting program! The Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society will meet Monday, August 18th, 6:30 at the Kentucky Museum. Rose Hulett will give a presentation on DNA testing.

Mandane Ennis at mandaneennis@gmail.com wrote me last year to see if I could help her find the grave of her great grand uncle Dr. John Cambyses Gatewood who was murdered by an unhinged ex confederate soldier who had worked for him. She found his gravesite in my records (Edmonson Co Cemeteries - in a cemetery not named.

The death date should read 1868---but she is sure this is it. Mandane needs better directions to reach it as she has no idea where Garnett Lyle farm is.
