Butch has given me permission to post this to the list. He's not a subber to SCKY but might be soon, so if you can help him out in anyway, would you write to him directly. Thanks a lot!

I was >wondering if you had any information on any Creasy/Cresie families that >lived in Metcalfe County, Ky. from mid 1800's to 1900. My >great-grandmother was Lucy Creasy (there are variants on the spelling of my >last name) who had a child, my grandfather, Ed Harrison Cresie. When Ed >was around 10 years old, she married a man by the name of Andrew (A. J.) >Jackson Bowles/Boles. When Lucy, died, Andrew gave Ed up to another >family, Robert and Cordelia Davis. We know nothing about Ed's parentage, >except that his real mother's name was Lucy. We don't know if Creasy was a >married name or if that was her maiden name and she had Ed out of wedlock. >I have found a Lucy E. Creasy that I located on Ancestry.com in the 1880 >census. Her father was John Creasy, a widower. She also had a brother >William D. Creasy. It was interesting because when Ed married my >grandmother, he named two of his sons John and William D.
