Cynthia,   Moses Cushenberry and his wife Ann unknown had two daughters who married Lindsay's.   (1) Mary married Nicholas Lindsay They moved to Dearborn Co., Ind. after leaving Ky. The Ken Lindsay website says they were married ca 1776 Frederick Co., MD. He was the son of Anthony Lindsay and Rachel (Nellie) Dorsey.   (2) Anna Cushenberry born ca 1772 married Vachel Lindsay 20 March 1792 in Bourbon  Co., Ky.   These two marriages sure are different in dates and locations.   Also, on Ken Lindsay's website it states the following  besides what you previously sent :   " Anthony and Rachel (Dorsey) Lindsay were still living in Frederick Co., MD in 1778 when Anthony took the Oath & Fidelity (Rev War). Lindsay, Dowden and Quisenberry family made preparations to move to the Forks of Elkhorn region (Ky) . They heard of George Rogers Clark's capture on the foots of Kaskakia & Vincennes. It would be safe to travel."   Also... " Anthony Lindsay, Jr. .. "Fort Pitt, Pa they built canoes, a fatboat for their horses, gathered supplies of food and gun powder. They wound down the Ohio River camping on the south bank each night. They were all cautious and well aware yhe Shawnees watched their progress."   On the previous report you made coming down the Ohio in your other posting this adds to it " (Lindsay, Dowden and Quisenbery) ... Apparently their trip down the Ohio was uneventful. They reached the forks of the Elkhorn about the spring of ... **1783**.... All that summer they spent farming and building cabins on land expected to claim."   What is important with .. 1783.. is that in my notes on Moses Cushenberry ... he signed in 1783 the petition entitled " West Side of Laurel  Mountains Inhabitants to the President of the Continental Congress, which was a plea for the formation of a new state which was Ky.  His name was spelled Moses Cussinberry.   Another record I have is:   Miltary Experience: "iIdex to Military Certificates 1787, Etc., Register of the Kentucky Historivcal Society" .. listed Cruzenberry, E. p. 51 and Cruzenberry, M. p. 52. The preface read: The names herwith recorded are found in an old leather-bound manuscript which was in the War Records room in the office of the Adjutant General of Ky. and which has been placed in the care of the Historical Society. The Vol is marked on the back "Military Certificates No. 1" and on the fly-leaf in this inscription "Certificates of Military Service performed in 1787 & c, under the LAWS OF VIRGINIA., therefore, while no doubt a majority of these Certificates were issued for services performed during Clarke's and Logan's expeditions of 1786 and 1787, it is evident that a few at least were for previous service."   Any comments on this Cynthia since ywe both are researching Quiseberry's ??

Hi Cynthia,   Thank you.. thank you.. for that record coming down the river, Do you rember where you found that record ?  I haven't seen that before. I have seen the Lindsay page before.   I have Mary Cushenbery (different spellings) and Nicholas Lindsay going to Dearborn Co., Indiana. They might have gone on to Edgar Co., IL after that . I never traced their lline out all the way.  I appreciate everything you have sent. This has been one hard nut to crack.   Marianne Dillow --- On Sun, 3/15/09, Cynthia Claytonroberts <CynthiaCR@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Cynthia Claytonroberts <CynthiaCR@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [VACULPEP] Finding Moses Cushenberry To: vaculpep@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, March 15, 2009, 8:57 PM >I am trying to find records before 1783 where Ky was formed from Va and hoping to find a record on Moses somewhere in Va or the earlier Ky records. < The earlier records for Bourbon County Ky are interred in moldy cardboard boxes in the basement of the Bourbon County CourtHouse, well yah really.

I went to the Finditva.com  and searched Quisenberry. You need a library card to enter on this site. Hope this helps you in some way. June cpzb4@aol.com There is a book on the American Quisenberry surname. Gives the complete search on the name   Quisenberry, Anderson Chenault,  Memorials of the Quisenberry family in England, Germany, and America Washington, D.C.?: unknown, 1900, 146 pgs.   In this book it states: Aaron Quisenberry as shown by the records could not write but signed by making a capital A as “his mark.”  It has for some time been noticed that all the people in the various parts of the United States who spell their name Quisenberry [and they are very numerous] can with very little trouble be traced back to this Aaron Quisenberry. His sons were all well educated for the times in which they lived, but they were in a county in which no other branch of the family lived, and when they came to spell their name they spelled it as it sounded to them----Quisenberry.  Aaron Quisenberry was a wealthy man, but it appears probable that he was left an orphan while still of tender years, and this would account for his education being neglected.  In 1756 he left Caroline County and bought a plantation in Spotsylvania; and this he sold in 1769, immediately buying another [614 acres] in Orange County, where he died in 1795.  The dates of his birth and marriage are not known, but he was probably born about 1715.  His wife, whose Christian name was Joyce, is supposed to have been the daughter of Robert Dudley and Joyce Gayle, his wife, who owned a plantation adjoining that of Aaron Quisenberry in Orange County.  The sons of this marriage were: 1.     Aaron  2. Moses  3. William  4. John  5. George  6.   Edward Sanford Quisenberry the youngest child of Moses Quisenberry was born in Virginia in 1787. He served as a soldier in the war of 1812 and soon after the close of that war he settled in Christian  county, Ky and in 1835 he moved to Logan Co, Illinois where he became quite wealthy. He was married twice and raised ninetten children to be men and women---nine sons and ten daughters.   Moses Quisenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry of Orange County, VA served in the Union Army from Kentucky during the Civil War, as shown by the book “Union Regiments of Kentucky, compiled by Thomas Speed and others, printed in 1897”                           Genealogical memoranda of the Quisenberry family and other families : including the names of Chenault, Cameron, Mullins, Burris, Tandy, Bush, Broomhall, Finkle, Rigg and others   Moses Quisenberry it seems that he moved to the southwsestern part of Kentucky and in the land office of that State are20records of early purchases of land by Moses Quisenberry in Breckinridge and Green Counties. He left numerous descendants, some of whom are now living in Meade and Christian counties. John H. Quisenberry who was a 1st Lt. in the 12th KY Cav. [Union] was undoubtedly his grandson or greatgrandson and so, also, doubtless, was Lt. H S Quisenberry who served first in the 22d Regiment of Louisiana Infantry, from which he was transferred October 19, 1864 to the Cumberland [Ky} Confederate Artillery.  There is scarcely a doubt but the Quisenberrys of Logan county Illinois are descended from Moses Quisenberry.  The founder of the Illinois Quisenberrys was Edward Sanford Quisenberry, who was born in Virginia in 1787 moved to Christian Co, KY about 1815 and from thence went to Illinois in 1835, where he has left a numerous and wealthy progeny.  He had brothers named John, George, and James some or all of whom now have descendants living in Christian County, KY and some of the neighboring counties.   Book:   Virginia wills and abstracts by Brockman, William Everett published 1948   Not sure if same Moses Quisenberry Will Book No. 1  Page 114, Green Co, KY Will of Joel Durrett ]wife Sarah Chewning] Green Co, Kentucky In the will he bequeath a negro woman named  Lucy and her increase and to her heirs forever, his daughter Milly [married to Moses Quisenberry]

Concerning my previus posting on Moses Cushenberry , my 5th great grandfather, who was from VA and died 1791  in Bourjon Co., Ky....   I have a copy of Anderson Chenault Quisenberry's two books. The one entitled "Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family" on p. 199 in the Appendix states:   " From the Burnt Records of Fayette County, Ky."   " The "burnt records" , so called, of Fayette County, Ky. are copies of mutilated papers partially saved from the flames when the Fayette County Clerk's Office was destoyed by fire prior to the year of 1800. In April , 1888, I Rev. James Quisenberry (he is the son of Aaron Quisenberry and Jouyce Dudley and a Baptist minister)... bought 200 acres of land in 1788, in (now) Clark County, from his brother-in-law Rev Andrew Tribble. And in the same book (Vol 1, p. 213) it is recorded that in 1795 Elijah Cushenberry (my Moses son)... bought on David's Fork, Fayette County, from Elijah Craig. .. I believe Elijah is from the Travelin' Church.   "Also, the following entries from the records succeeeding the "burnt records". for the period between 1795 and 1800, viz:   " District Book D, Elijah Cosenberry, deed to Elijah Craig, p 133.     Circuit Court, Book B, Lewis Craig to Elijah Crousenberry, p 688.     County Clerk, Book C, Elijah Custenberry to R.H. Hunt, p 398     County Court Book e, Wm. Cusenberry (son on Moses) to Charles Robinson, p 381     Marriage Register, Book 1, p. 4, John Pullen to  Rachel Cushenberry..... I descend from Thomas Pulliam and Winnifed Holloday dau of John Marshall Holloday who died in Spotsylvania Co., Va....   6 Nov 1804, by Rev. Ambrise Dudley, Elijah Cushenberry certifies that his sister Rachel is of lawful age. Book 1, p. 10, Obedience Custenberry to Jonathan Ellis, 20 Nov 1807 by Rev, R.R. Hunt.'   "Who these people were , and where they were to when they left Fayette County in 1810, I do not know. . (They went to Waren and Allen Co., Ky formed from it).... The variations in spelling of the name is due to the lawyer who drew up the papers of the clerks who recorded them, for none of the parties themselves could write at first, though Elijah subsequently to have learned to do so, and then , instead of "making his mark", he signed Cusenberry." By Anderson Chenault Quisenberry.   When Mose Cushenberry (my spelling among the many)... died in 1791 in Bourbon Co., Ky. the Inventory of his estate was ordered to be recorded June 1792, Bourbon Co., Ky Book a, p 544: His Admin was his wife "Anne Quesenberry" who came to court with her son-in-law, Nicholas Lindsay and William Quisenberry (her son) who were her securities.   So, the spelling of the name was done by people who couldn't write and  by their representatives who spelled it the way they thought it sounded.   I am posting this here as my responses have mainly come from here trying to help me. Thank you very much for your responses. :)   In previous postings I have already mentioned the others from this area of Va that was in Ky with Moses Cushenberry and wife Ann with the dates and locations so no need to repeat it here. :)   Marianne Dillow      

Hi June,   In my first posting since it was late and I was trying to show the marriages and associations between my Moses Cushenberry family and those in Va especially the Travelin' Church I omitted the fact that I have two books by Anderson Cenault Quisenberry with one concentrating on the USA bunch which he mentioned my Moses but at the time he didn't know where they fit in.. the 2nd book goes back across the pond to where the surname had changed to the original Questenburg surname.   My Moses is older than the Moses son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley. He must fall in this Quisenberry line after Humphrey Quisenberry and his sons or Humphrey's brothers and their bunch. At any rate in Ky the surname was spelled Cushenberry, Quisenberry, Cusenbery, etc in my family.  My cousins and I always felt that Moses Quisenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley was named after my Moses as he is the first one with the name Moses. Not proven though but in Ky the ones in Va are with my line in Ky.   Best Regards, Marianne Dillow   --- On Sat, 3/14/09, cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> wrote:     From: cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> Subject: [VACULPEP] Quisenberry To: VACULPEP-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009, 1:57 PM I went to the Finditva.com  and searched Quisenberry.

Thanks !! This Moses has been confused with mine and he is younger and is the son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley. My Moses must have a birthdate around 1710-1720 as he died in Boubon Co., Ky in 1791 and his first record was in Ky in 1783. He must fit in around Himphrey Quisenberry's sons or his brothers lines somewhere..   I should have nmentioned I have both copies of Anderson Chenault Quisenberry's books of which he mentions my Moses Cushenberry and family but at that time he wasn't sure where they belonged.   I am trying to find records before 1783 where Ky was formed from Va and hoping to find a record on Moses somewhere in Va or the earlier Ky records. Sorry I failed to mention the two Quisenberry books. It was late when I posted. :)   Marianne Dillow   --- On Sat, 3/14/09, cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> wrote: From: cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> Subject: [VACULPEP] Moses Quisenberry To: VACULPEP-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009, 2:06 PM http://books.google.com/books?id=iSMeeoNIOc8C&pg=PA56&lpg=PA56&dq=moses+quisenberry&source=bl&ots=O9TRzhpErW&sig=m8-nBJWjnGL2rHZ8y5PrGGf08q8&hl=en&ei=vv-7ScWeBoGGtgeei5T7Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result

Hi Cynthia,   I'm not sure if the two Lindsay's are brothers are not. But a descendant of theirs through Mary Cushenberry leads to another younger  Vachel Lindsay that was a poet, His home in Springfield, IL. and is a landmark and tourist attraction.   What I really need is to know  is where to look for records on Moses. He died 1791 in Bourbon, Co., Ky. I figure he must have a birthdate around 1710 on.  His first record was in 1783  in Ky. and that part was eventually Mason Co., Ky while his sons went to Fayette County.   Since Ky was formed from Va I am trying to figure out where to look for records on Moses Cushenberry before 1783. His name has been spelled several ways because of the times.   I can send you a report from my FTM on Moses if you want it. There are a lot of notes on him and the generations after coming to my grandparents on my Mother's side of the family.   Thanks for answering. I am on my one cup of coffee too. :)   Marianne Dillow     --- On Sat, 3/14/09, Cynthia Claytonroberts <CynthiaCR@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Cynthia Claytonroberts <CynthiaCR@sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [VACULPEP] Moses Cushenberry / Quisenberry To: vaculpep@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009, 10:06 AM >Children of Moses and Ann: >(1) John Cushenberry m.

Thanks I appreciate you sending these records.  Jane Daniel that married George Quisenberry is my line too but I don't think it connects with Moses. Would you know where to start hunting for records ca 1783 when Moses came from Va to Bourbon Co and Fayette Co., Ky. ?  I need to really work on that part but am not sure where to look for those early records.   Best Regards, Marianne Dillow --- On Sat, 3/14/09, cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> wrote: From: cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> Subject: [VACULPEP] Cushenberry / Quisenberry To: VACULPEP-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009, 11:09 AM I have the book "Forks of Elkhorn Church" by Ermina Jett Darnell June cpzb4@aol.com on page 151 The will of Samuel Goode, Warren 1820, mentions his brothers, Robert and John C. and is witnessed by Sally C.

My 5th great grandparents are Moses Cushenberry that was born in Virginia and married Ann unknown. He moved to Bourbon Co., Ky where he died 1791. For approximately 26 years I and my cousins have tried to prove Moses lineage. Everything points to the Quisenberry family of Va.   Moses may have been born ca  ca 1720-1740 in Va since he died in 1791. He moved to Bourbon Co.,,Ky. and the first record is dated Jan. 1783. He signed a petition entitled "West Side of Laurem Mountains Inhabitants to the President of the Continental Congress." On 25 Ag 1786 he signed "The Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky to the General Assembly of Virginia." One of the Trustees was Daniel Boone.   He lived at the  Limestone , Licking Creek  settlement. Dated 25 Aug 1786. He and his sons Elijah, John, and Vincent were in the records.  At the same time Rev. James Cushenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley m (1) Jane Burris dau of Thomas Burris & Frances Tandy  (2) Chloe Shipp were living in the area.   Moses and his wife Ann were part of Bryan's Station Curch and later Cooper's Run Baptist Church. The family later attended David's Fork Baptist Church.  In 1787 Rawleigh Chinn, Smith Darnell lived on one side of Moses and on the other side lived John Tandy.   In Fayette Co., Ky Deeds 1802 Elijah, William and John Cushenberry were in deeds with Elijah Craig, John Craig, Lewis Craig of the Traveling Church,  living near Thomas Burris,, etc.   Hezekiah Ellis and Mildred Burbridge had children : i. Elizabeth Ellis m. Joseph McCann ii. Sarah Ellis m. O'Neal McCann   William Ellis son of Hezekiah Ellis and Mildred Burbridge had a son  Johnson Ellis who m. Obediience Cushenberry dau of Elijah Cushenberry son of Moses Cushenberry.   Johnson & Obedience dau Everlina m. Robert Ficklin Pulliam.   In Tax Records of Fayette Co., Ky with the Cushenberry family were William Cave, Toliver Craig, John & Thomas Graves, John Ellis, William & Thomas Ellis, Joseph & Neil McCann, etc.   The Cushenberry surname has been spelled several ways: Cushenberry, Coosenberry, Cusenbary and Quisenberry, etc. When Moses died in Bourbon Co., Ky in 1791, he had no will, but the court oversaw the estate in May 1792. It was recorded in June 1792. His widow Anne  was named Administratror of Moses Cushenbery's estate who came to court and qualified with Nicholas Lindsay (her son-in-law) and William Quisenberry, her securities and gave bond.   Children of Moses and Ann: (1) John Cushenberry m. Rebecca Dowden 10 Dec 1791 dau of Nathaniel Dowden and Susanna unknown from MD. (2) William Cushenberry m Rachel dau of Richard Brown 23 Sep 1805 Boubon Co., Ky. (3) Elijah Cushenberry m Polly  unknown. Elijah named a son, Neil McCann Cushenberry. (4) Vincent Cushenberry m. Mary Davis dau of William Davis 4 May 1791 Bourbon Co., Ky. (5) Daniel Cushenberry (my next grandfather) m Sally Davis dau of  same William Davis . (6) Mary Cushenberry m Nicholas Lindsay son of Anthony Lindsay and Rachel (Nellie) Dorsey. The Lindsay family is from MD. (7) Elizabeth Cushenberry m Zachariah Ross son of Jonathan Ross of NJ. (8)  Anna Cushenbery m Vachel Lindsay 1792 Bourbon Co., Ky. (9) Rachel Cushenberry m John F. Pulliam 7 Nov 1804.Fayette Co., Ky.   This family moved on to Warren Co., Ky and Allen which was formed from it. Also, in the same area were Aaron Quisenberry, Nicholas, John,  and Elizabeth. ... This Aaron m Nancy Tilford. ... His parents are John A. Quisenberry and Rachel Henderson..... This John A. is the son of Thomas Quisenberry and Susannah Rawlings. ...Thomas is the son of Humphrey Quisenberry and Elizabeth Mothershead. .... Humphrey is the son of John Quisenberry, Sr and Anne Pope dau of Nathaniel Pope and Lucy unknown.   These families were in Westmoreland, King George, Caroline, Spotsylvania and Orange counties in Va.   A lot of associations and intermarriages but nothing concrete in proving Moses Cushenberry's parentage.  Any info would be appreciated especially in formation of Ky counties from Virginia as I don't know what county Moses was from in Va.   Marianne Dillow

Surnames: EDMONDSON/EVANS/BLAND/STEVENS/MILLER Brickwalls: 1.) Proof of which Edmondson was the husband of Patty Stevens d/o Edward Stevens and Elizabeth Burt (sister of Gen. Edward Stevens). When and were did this gentleman die? Patty was listed on the 1782 tax list of Orange Co., VA. Patty's brother, Brigadier General Edward Stevens, served in a leadership role with the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War. The General received 10,000 acres of land in Kentucky for his war service and gave 2000 acres to his widowed sister, Patty. In 1788, Patty Edmondson and her nine children and their families migrated to Nelson/Washington County, Kentucky. They settled around Cartright's Creek, near Lebanon. Patty died in 1803 (will made in Washington Co., KY). The General died in 1820 in Culpeper County, Virginia . Sadly, his children proceeded him in death. Thus, he willed his estate in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky to his nine nieces and nephews and their children. The Edmondsons are buried in the Masonic Cemetery, .5 mile north of Culpeper, Virginia (east side of road.) 2.) Sarah "Sally" Edmondson ( d/o Patty Stevens above) m. Edward Evans 15 March 1795 in Washington Co., KY. (Edward Evans - Sally Edmondson; March 15, 1796; married by Terah Templin; Bk. 1-12. Washington County, Ky. Marriage Records 1792-1878 book; transcribed and compiled by Margaret Clark Kington; page 55. Photo copies of orginal bond, letter of permission from Patty Edmondson. This may have been a double ceremony as Sarah's Sister Nancy Edmondson married John Bland on the same date. The minister was known as a "curciut rider" and they may have waited until he was in the area.). Who were the parents of Edward Evans? Virginia Circuit Court Records Preservation Program, Record 92-1, " Edmondson vs. McNeale" supports the fact that Edward Evans was married to Sarah Sally Edmondson daughter of Patty Stevens Edmondson and niece of Gen. Edward Stevens. Edward Evans is listed as a Plantiff in this suit reagrding the distrubution of the slaves of Edward Stevens. Virginia Circuit Court Records Preservation Program, Record 39-10, "Bankhead vs. Miller" in 1823 shows that the tract called "Wimpekin" was purchased by James Miller of Caroline Co., Va from Edward Evans prior the making of James Miller's will in 1808. Is there any proof that the two Edward Evans are or are not the same individual? 3.) The above case,"Bankhead vs. Miller," mentions the will of James Miller. In a book of abstracts from "District Court Order Book, 1791-1793". 11-9-1791, page 20, Ebenezer Miller is exempted from further payment for one levy for Edward Evans, for which he is charged for the year 1789. From the will of Ebenezer Miller, it appears he settled in Nelson County, KY near the junction of Fox Creek and Licking Creek. He also owned land on Harrod's Creek in Jefferson Co., KY. What, if any, relationship did James Miller have to Ebenezer Miller? Why did Ebenezer Miller pay the tax/levy for Edward Evans? Was this payment for a debt inccured? Thank you for any lead or correction you may be able to provide, Mary Beth Abordo Kelseyville, California
