I have no ideal bout Jeremiah South. I found several Jerry Souths, but they were older. It seems that John South, had a son, Jeremiah Weldon South who married a Cockerill. He was called the "Father of Breathitt" and the "Keeper of the State Prison" in Frankfort, KY. He must have had a son Jerry, and there must have been more Jerry Souths, Martins, Greens, Johns etc. There were two Jere Souths one Jere South, Jr. married about the same time as our Jerry and Elizabeth. This one married a Hargis and was shot and killed. That family married into the Trimble family of Wolfe, South Trimble was one of this family. Jeremiah W. South was a timber man and had lots of interests in and around Breathitt and Frankfort. There was another Martin South who was shot and killed in Frankfort, too early for our Martin, but there was also a Martin South in our time frame, but not ours. A Jerry South did fight in the Civil War, not sure if it was the older Jeremiah W. South or his son, too many generations and too many Jerrys, to keep them straight. It seems from the "Land of Breathitt" "Behold he Cometh in the Clouds' and Dr. Wilgus Bach's info that the Souths were well respected. Carole
