Frances---That's the reason I was asking for help in identifying what Co. it was from. My Knight, Francis, Ladd family came from mostly Trigg and Christian Co KY. BUT, they also have parts of the family in all the six counties that surround the TN and KY State lines. As I stated I only have page 46. I need to establish if anyone can tell me where Thomas District No 21 for 1894 would be. I've have been on several trips to the area my parents were from, the libraries and court houses. Somewhere I made this copy and it got lost in the shuffle. Found it in my Knight file for info I did not know what to do with at that time. If anyone out there can help me determine the orgin of this record I will copy it and sent it to anyone who wants it. I would like to know where it came from and also what the prior pages said. I can't travel to the sites now, and have to be content with what I can gather and share from other people. Thanks. Sandy--would love a copy of the CD when available. Would sure send you the expense of it, and grateful to get it. Helen

Hi- I would love to have a copy of this 1894 school census for the Montgomery County pages. If this is the complete listing I could use it with no trouble. I know that Sandra Stacey would like to have a copy also. She is collecting Montgomery County articles and histories for the Montgomery County CD she is producing. She makes these CD available to the library, Montgomery County archives and interested folks free of charge. She has many School census records from throughtout the years that she appear on the Montgomery County Web Pages. Let me hear from you regarding placing these records on the Montgomery pages.

Below is an entry taken from the Montgomery Co. website (obituaries). Can anyone tell me where the "old family burial ground near L.F. Green's" is? From: Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf October 11,1895-- The death of Dr. N.T. Green's little child, Willis which occurred about 10:00 at Louise. Death was caused by membranous croup. Interment took place at the old family burial ground near L.F. Green's.

http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/mainpage.htm Hi Folks, I cannot for the life of me remember who sent me this URL, but if you have ancestor's in UK you might want to try it. Be sure and try all variations of spellings. It is really interesting---some of these records go back to the 1200's. Happy Hunting.... Jean in TX

Pam---Thank you, but I do have that record. That was my paternal ggrandparents. Elizabeth Francis was the dau of Levi Francis and Jane, maiden name, from Trigg Co. KY. That's as far back as I have on them. I do believe the Bette Knight in the school record is my Elizabeth (Bettie) Francis Knight. That's for responding. HKB

I found a Richard Knight married to Elizabeth Frances on 1/19/1853 in Stewart Co. Maybe this will help. Pam

Hi all----I found a hard copy of page 46 Census Report of School Children. Someone has hand written 1894. Also on the left side handwritten School Children Book 1. Listed are names of parents or guardians, names of children, number, age and male or female. One on that list is Bettie Knight, who had a daughter, HARRIET KNIGHT, who I was told married a COLEMAN, first name never determined. Bettie is listed as the parent or guardian of JACK COLEMAN #64, male, age 15. Now I think this Bettie Knight was my ggrandmother,(ELIZABETH FRANCIS), who marr RICHARD KNIGHT Jan 19 1853. Montgomery Co. TN. Half way down the page is a hand written heading it has, Thomas District No. 21. My questions are, is this in Trigg Co. KY or in Stewart, Montgomery Co. TN? In 1894 where would Thomas District 21 be? Evidently a prior page would show what District Bettie Knight and Jack Coleman would have been in. Would like to know if anyone has any access or could tell me if this would be in court records or school records? I will list all the names in case someone else would be interested.

Can anyone definitely establish the fact that Capt John Baker of Montgomery Co, TN (married Ann Norfleet in NC) is a son of Thomas Baker (d.1774) and wife, Dorothy Davenport of Culpepper, VA? Their daughter, Lucinda, married Wylie Blount. I am finding conflicting lineage records for the ancestry of this Capt John Baker. Also, has anyone found a record of other children of this John and Ann Norfleet Baker? Thank you, Elizabeth Baker

Does anyone have copies of the following Baker wills in Montgomery Co? County Clerks Wills: Vol A, 1796-1809 #1086 Baker, William Accounting Vol B, 1810-1818 #436 Baker, James and William administrator #435 Baker, William nuncupative will #508 Baker, William inventory. The #436 entry appears to be a will for James Baker with William Baker as administrator. Thank you, Elizabeth Baker

Julie, Have you tried Illinois for William Ferrell? I believe some of the Ferrells moved there. Elsie

Julie, Thanks for looking. I don't know where they went after they married. This has been a hard one for me. I think this may be my gggrandfather as James R. Ferrell's (my ggrandfather) death certificate listed his mothers last name as Cartwright. Thanks again. Laura

Laura, No Wm Ferrell listed in 1850 or 1860 Christian Co, KY. In 1870, Page 3 of Hamby Precinct 19-19 Ferrell, William 59, Farm Labor, Va Mary F., 47, Housekeeper, Va 22-22 Ferrell, Obediah, 45, Farmer, KY Kissiah J. 35, KY James E. 16, Martha O, 13 John F, 11 Mary P.

Sorry, Laura. I only have one census for Christian County, as my folks were mostly from Trigg and Stewart. I have no interest in Christian until the 1930s or 1940s. I can look when I go to the library again. I'm sure they have that census. I will have to make a note or I will forget. I'll let you know. Thanks for keeping up with me on this. I'll help all that I can. Jean C~~

Jean, I have looked through the Books on 1850, 1860, 1870 census for Tennessee and have been unable to find our William who married Elizabeth Cartwright listed. I did find a record of the marriage in 1849 in a early marriage booin Davidson Co. TN.. It seems as if they just vanished. Do you have access to Kentucky Census for this time period? Maybe they moved to Kentucky as someone sent me information saying my ggrandfather James R. Ferrell was born in Christian County Ky. Laura

Brenda, The cemetery in close to where Verlin Smith lived.

Does anyone know who Mrs. Nora Dean was, who lived in Montgomery County in 1949? She was 86 years old at that time. Mary
