Hello, I'm new to the Hardin Co. mailing list and am enjoying the postings so far. I am researching my family and can get back to Roland Harrison Burks (b. 1/10/1813 in KY; d. 8/2/1852 in Hardin Co., KY) and his wife Mary T. Pratt (b. 1/18/1811; d. in TX)who lived in Hardin Co. They had 13 children, the youngest of whom is my ancestor, Green Clinton Burks (b. 12/8/1851 in Hardin Co., KY). Some years after Roland died, some of the family moved to Texas, including Green, his mother Mary, and his brother ALWHH. Green married Mattie Narcissus DARNALL. Also a Hardin Co. family, I think. I have a photograph of a lot of the Burks and Darnall family members. Is anyone else researching this line? I know a couple of people researching this line but would like to make additional connections. I do not know in which KY County Roland was born or where he lived previous to Hardin Co. I think the town in Hardin Co. may have been Red Sulphur Springs. I'm planning a research trip to Hardin Co. in November and would appreciate any suggestions as to where to start, books to look at in the library, the best way to approach records in the county clerk's office, etc. Thank you in advance!
