: READ; Bath,SOM,ENG; 1750-1840 I am trying to find the birth and marriage of David John Read - who married Mary Cutler PAYNE c 1820 . The family were bakers I believe they had other shopkeepers as relatives. In the early 1800s they lived in Bathwick before David and family moved to London c 1830.

BYFORD; YKS,ENG; 1700- I have for some years been trying to trace my BYFORDs, below I have listed my earliest ancestors. The family were gardners and Potters originally, and indeed the Pottery trade continues through to Frederick and Harry who emigrated to the USA in around 1911. Harry was at one time President of the Alamo Pottery company. I would like to contact anyone researching my line or anyone who might know where Samuel came from. A family legend suggests that they came from Monmouth but I have never found any proof, despite the fact that there is a hamlet in that area. There is also a place in Yorkshire (near Bridlington) called Beeford which used to be known as Byford at one time. Please contact me if you can help Cheers, Peter Byford Descendants of Samuel BYFORD 1. SAMUEL1 BYFORD was born Bet. 1740 - 1760. Children of SAMUEL BYFORD are: i. OTHER SONS PERHAPS2 BYFORD. 2. ii. WILLIAM BYFORD, b. Abt. 1780, ??????; d. January 1837. iii. MARY BYFORD, b. December 5, 1781, Leeds St.Peters; m. SAMUEL WARD, September 2, 1804, Leeds St Peter. 3. iv. DANIEL BYFORD, b.

FINCH; Stepney, MDX,ENG; 1800-1850 I am trying to trace the birth of James Finch, circa 1816 apparently, in Stepney (acc to 1851 and 1861 Census), East London (then Middlesex). However I have not been able to find him. James was ran a Confectionery business in the Mile End Road, was married to Jane (marriage not found either c. 1836) and had about 9 children. It is possible that his birth name was not FINCH I suppose but again no evidence. We understand that several of the children moved to Canterbury area in mid 1900s. Any ideas gratefully received. -- Peter Byford "Peter Byford" <pgb@bcs.org.uk>

HARRIS; Shepherds Bush, MDX,ENG; 1880-1920 We are trying to trace my wife's grandmother who was a DOROTHY HARRIS. Although we have a lot of info we cannot find her birth. She was daughter of Henry Harris , butcher of Shepherd's Bush had a brother ALEXANDER and married in 1920 (aged 27)in Wimbledon, to a Mr Funnell. She died in 1927 (aged 35) also in Wimbledon. Despite searching St. Caths and writing to register offices - they are a lot of Dorothy Harris's- we cannot find her birth (c 1892/3). Any ideas? Cheers, Peter Byford "Peter Byford" <pgb@bcs.org.uk>

PHELPS, Leonard; KY,USA; 1807- Looking for the ancestors of Leonard Phelps, born in 1807 and lived most of his life in Pulaski Com KY. Write up follows of his family. Descendants of Leonard D Phelps - 27 Feb 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- FIRST GENERATION 1. Leonard D Phelps was born in 1807 in North Carolina. He was also known as Lenard. He was also known as Lenty. The Zion Baptist Church, where the Pumpkin Hollow Road meets Cabin Hollow Road, is an historical gem. Neatly painted, services are held every Sunday. Its records are intact from its founding in 1844. A McPherson donated the land. The names McPherson, Phelps, and Goff sprinkle the pages. It is the "mother church" for both Pitman Creek and Cedar Grove Baptist Churches. Here in the September term of 1867, it is recited that "Catherine Standsbury was received in experience" (Baptism). Her father, Lenard, though illiterate, was ordained Deacon in July of the following year. He was appointed "Assistant Moderator to take care of the church" in June of 1871. He was married to Mary Goff on or before 1828 in Kentucky. Mary Goff was born in 1806 in Kentucky. She was also known as Polly. Leonard D Phelps and Mary Goff had the following children: 2 i. Nancy Phelps was born in 1838 in Kentucky. 3 ii. John Phelps was born in 1832 in Kentucky. 4 iii. Elizabeth Phelps was born in 1834 in Kentucky. 5 iv. Will B Phelps was born in 1837 in Kentucky. 6 v. Enoch Phelps was born in 1839 in Kentucky. 7 vi. Richard Phelps was born in 1841 in Kentucky. +8 vii. Mary Catherine Phelps. 9 viii. Mahalla Phelps was born in 1846 in Kentucky. SECOND GENERATION 8. Mary Catherine Phelps was born in 1843/44 in Pumpkin Hollow Pulaski Co KY. She died on 2 Oct 1889 in Pulaski Co, KY. After her husband left the Zion Baptist Church, Mary Catherine maintained at least a nominal membership for nearly 4 more years. It is the March term 1875 before it is written "Sister Standsbury has left our church and found another church not of our faith and order and also requested our church to erase her name from the church book." After Henry died, Their son, George Franklin Stanbury, had been married over two years and could do little to help his mother. Zeaner was 18 or so with Mahala less than 2 years younger. They could work "out" but not much more. Yet, somehow, Mary Catherine kept her brood together until typhoid struck her down on 2 Oct 1889. Her grave is unknown to the generations of this day. The orphans were first taken in by their uncle Enoch Phelps. His little cabin was already crowded with many children of his own. Soon after, they were accepted by the Baptist Orphanage in Louisville. She was married to Henry N Stanbury (son of Jacob Stanbury and Sarah Overholser) on 15 Jan 1859. Henry N Stanbury was born in Jun 1837/38 in Chucky, Greene Co, TN. He died between 1885 and 1887 in Elihu/Cedar Grove, Pulaski Co, KY. One of the youngest children of Jacob Stanbury and Sarah Overholser, Jacob and Sarah no longer appear in Greene Co and may have died by 1860.Henry Neal liver in the 4th District Greene Co near Warrensburg and his brother James Franklin (who lived with a cousin, Jacob Stanbury). His age is given as 20 (he was really 22/23); his wife, Priscilla, is listed as 22; and their 4 month old son, Alexander. According to family legend, they later had another son (John?). Henry Neal Stanbury enlisted in the Confederate Army on 4 Oct 1862 at Camp Zollicopher, Overton Co, TN 120 miles west of Warrensburg. Why he was there is not clear. Records do show, however, that he somehow managed to collect 4 months pay in advance -- and never reported for duty. The following spring an "L. L. Stansberry" enlisted at Lenoirs, giving his age as 26 (Henry would have been 25/26 in the spring of 1863) only to desert when his regiment neared Camp Zollicopher. On 1 Dec 1863, he enrolled in the Union Army at Camp Nelson, where Route 27 crosses the Kentucky River south of Lexington. He was officially "mustered in" 23 Feb 1864 and immediately dispatched to guard duty at Camp Burnside, Kentucky. Just across the Cumberland River between Juggerhausht and Thunderstruck Knobs, it was a short couple of miles up Pumpkin Hollow Road, not quite to Zion Church, to the home of Leonard Phillips and his daughter, Mary Catherine. She was 20, and probably a little despondent -- the war all around and boys gone or getting killed. Her cousin, John F Phelps, was "mustered in" the same day as Henry. He, too, was stationed at Camp Burnside. He knew the way. So did Mary Catherine. The road went both ways. By tradition, Henry was muscular and strong; doubtless handsome in his "Union blues." And far from home. The marriage record has not been found nor has the death of Polly Priscilla been established. Yet, surely, in these 5 short weeks Henry succumbed to Mary Catherine's flowing red hair. On 7 Apr 1864, Henry and James Stanbury were transferred to the 7th KY Calvary, then stationed in Louisville. Here the military records stop. They had enlisted for 3 years or the duration. But they do not appear in the mustering out rolls, the lists of killed captured, deserters or transferred. Civil records for James F Stanbury have not been found after this time. The 7th KY Calvary had worked its way to Edgefield (Nashville) by December. On the 11th,they began a short foray to Russeville and Hopkinsville, returning to Edgefield a few days later. Jan, Feb, and March were spent in Waterloo, Alabama; Macon, Georgia, when the war ended 9 Apr 1865; Albany, GA in May. It was not until the 17th of June that those of 3 years of service were mustered out at Edgefield with others transferred to the 6th KY Veterans Calvary. Among those releases were Pvt. Louis Phelps; Cpl. Zacariah Phelps; Sgt Charles Fish; and Cpl James Stanbury. The latter enlisted 12 Jul 1862 and was from Claiborne Co, TN. Could this be Ezekiel's youngest son who, Abraham says, " -- was murdered by the Rebels when he stopped in an old mill while returning home from the war."? There is, at least, one other record of a Stansberry man enlisting in this war in his fifties. Henry returned to Pulaski Co, KY by 1866 and appears in the lists for that year. He occurs in most lists, always in the militia, through 1874. Most years he shows no property, except 1872 when he was taxed for 1 horse worth $20 and 1 cattle. In this year, he is listed with one child 6 to 20 years of age. The lists of Pulaski Co are not extant after 1875. Deeds have yielded nothing. In June of 1871, the records of the Zion Baptist Church, records " -- agree to liberate Brother Henry Standsbury to exercise his gift in the bounds of the church." Perhaps this is the legend that comes down, both in and out of the family, that Henry was a great preacher. "The History of Pulaski County", listing many churches and their ministers in this broad period, makes no mention of Henry Standsbury. Anyway, if Henry was "called", he was reluctant to answer. The October report states he " -- requested the church to call in the liberty that she granted him in the June term, 1871 -- and also erase his name from the church book." In December, he was "cited" for something but confessed and was restored. June 1872 brought worse: "The church agree to write to Bother Henry Standbury to send an answer to the letter at our July meeting in complying with what he promised the Church heretofore in relation to the report that has followed him from Tennessee.: Leonard Phelps helped draft the letter. Henry did not avail himself of this opportunity. In July, it was decreed "He is no longer one of us." Henry is listed as a miller of 23 in the 1870 census. He was 32. It is rather common for people to age 8 or 9 years in the decades between censuses. In 1880 he is listed as a farmer -- tenant certainly since no land is mentioned. He suddenly departed this life in faith and fear as the peaches ripened in 1886 or 1887. He was about 49. He is buried in a small farm plot just west of the old road over which he and his brother may well have ridden on their way to join the Union troops and almost within sight Parker's old mill on Pitman Creek. Mary Catherine Phelps and Henry N Stanbury had the following children: +10 i. George Franklin Stanbury. +11 ii. Zeaner A Stanbury. +12 iii. Mahala Jane Stanbury. +13 iv. Mary Stanbury. +14 v. Sarah Frances Stanbury. +15 vi. Henry Miaron Stanbury. 16 vii. William McKee Stanbury was born on 18 Feb 1880 in Pulaski Co, KY. He died after 1912. +17 viii. Pearl May Stanbury. +18 ix.
