I apologize for no subject. I will send this again for the Archives with a heading....... Marianne Dillow I sure am getting a history lesson. LOL !! And everything goes back in a circle to what I thought over 28 years of genealogy research on Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. I have always thought he goes back to the family of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. and Joyce Gayle Dudley in Va and the generations before but could never find a record to prove it and still can't but everything points to it.. I think my Moses is either a brother, uncle or nephew, cousin, etc to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr... something !! . Rev. James Quisenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr and Joyce Gayle Dudley 's son is Rev. James Quisenberry who left Va to Ky in 1783 the same year my Moses Cushenberry has his first record in 1783 in Bourbon Co. Ky signing the petition for the the state of Kentucky to be established from Virginia. Rev. James Quisenberry's brother John A. Quisenberry was in Ky and left the Fayette / Clark County. Ky area to Warren County, Ky in 1808 and my Moses three sons, Elijah, Daniel and Vincent went there too in 1810. Elijah and my Daniel went to Warren and Allen formed from it while Vincent went to Logan County, Ky. close by after he left Allen.. Rev, Ambrose Dudley was a minister of Bryan's Station Church in Ky where my Cushenberry's were members. He is the son of Robert Dudley and Joyce Gayle and married Anne Parker. Ambrose is a brother to Joyce Gayle Dudley who married Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. who died ca 1795 in Orange Co. Va. Aaron Quisenbery, Sr's line is : i. John Quisenberry and, Sr and Ann Pope ii. Humphrey Quisenberry and Elizabeth Mothershead...... he had brothers John and William Quisenberry iii. Thomas Quisenberry and Caroline Rawlings then Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. born ca 1725 in Caroline Co., Va and died 11 Mar 1795 in Orange Co., Va. Children: (1) Moses (who was mixed up with mine who is older than him ) and married Mary Gatewood; (2).Aaron JR who married Sarah Ellis (3) William who married Agnes Morton (4) John A. who married Rachel Henderson (5) Rev James Quisenberry born 13 Jul 1759 in Spotsylvania Co., Va who married (1) Jane Burris and (2) to Chloe Shipp. (6) George Quisenberry who married Jane Daniel .. she is the dau of Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion who are also my grandparents but through a Daniel.. Vivion.. Smith.. Thacker... Conway.. Eltonhead .. grandparents of my Mother that is a different line than Moses Cushenberry. LOL !! (7) Winnifred (8) Mary married William Cooper (9) Elizabeth marries Rice Pendleton My grandfather William Davis who came from Culpeper Co., Va daughter's Sally married my Daniel Cushenberry and his dau Mary married Vincent Cushenberry, sons of Moses. William Davis was very close with Benjamin Robinson and it looks like he came with Rev .Lewis Craig's Station on Gilbert Creek in 1782 with my William Davis. They were in Garrard Co., Ky before coming to Fayette Co., Ky. William Davis died in 1823 in Fayette Co., Ky. Benjamon Robinson married Mildred Burbridge and 2nd to Hezekiah Ellis. Elijah Cushenberry son of Moses dau Obedience Cushenberry married Johnson Ellis with Elijah as surety 29 Dec 1807 with consent of parent in Fayette Co., Ky. Johnson Ellis is the son of William Ellis and and Elizabeth Shipp dau of John Shipp and Sally Johnson.. thus Laban and Colby in Fayette County 1787 tax list A with Rawleigh Chinn, and John Tandy with Moses Cushenberry. And the other line of my Mother's is Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion who are my 4th great grandparents. Vivion died 1803 in Clark Co., Ky. and who was born in Middlsex Co., Va.

Smith and his first wife Anne Ball.  I think Zachariah's name was actually Zacheus according to a suit filed by he, Page and Elizabeth regarding her father's estate - see below:   Power of Attorney, Barren Co., KY: Know all men by these presents that We Zacheus Quesenberry & Page Quesenberry & Elizabeth his wife of the County of Barren and State of Kentucky have Constituted and appointed and by these presents do constitute and appoint William Warder of the Said County and State our true and Lawful Attorney in fact for us and in our names and Stead to ask for demand and Receive of Alexander Wealsh and Rebeckah his wife Administrator and Administratrix of John Smith Deceased of the County of Fauquier and State of Virginia all Sums of money that is due to the aforesaid Page Quisenberry & Elizabeth his wife and to Francis Scott & Margaret his wife as a legacy or part of the Estate of the aforesaid John Smith Dec'd.  We do by our presents vest our Said Attorney with full power and authority to Sue and prosecute to Judgment recover & receive the aforesaid Legacy & receipt for the Same & to do execute and perform all manner of acts and things for the recovery thereof which we ourselves could do were we personally present and had done the same ourselves in our own persons & to appoint an Attorney or Attorneys under him for the purposes afaoresaid & to revoke them at pleasure hereby ratifying and confirming whatever our said Attorneys may lawfully do in the above premises.  In Witness whereof we have set our hands and seals this 5th day of April 1817.

M. Quesenberry to someone who I can't tell who he is writing to. One is dated 23 Jan 1888 Hisevile, Ky.  He has written to his uncle Solomon Quesenberry who was 80 years old to get the best history of the family that he can. It says my father is dead and some of our family is in Richmond, Missouri. My grandfather , Page Quesenberry , was born   in Va. and his brother Zachariah Quesenberry was a Methodist preacher, my grandfather moved from Va to Boyle Co., Ky and lived at Perryville to Barren County in 1803. in 1803. The other letter is dated 1 Oct 1888 Parksville, Boyle Co., Ky.  The letter is written by I. M. Quesenberry.  He bought a place there and says Page Quesenberry was born in Fauquier or Culpeper Co., Va. in 1780 and his father James born in 1690, as my uncle Solomon now 81 years old thinks... Note" he was probably born 1730 or later.  My grandfather Page Quesenberry moved from Va with Zachariah, his brother, and they stopped at Perryville, Ky. and lived there one year and then moved to Barren Co., Ky. , 5 miles from Glasgow. Since Zachariah was a Methodost preacher he left Barren Co., Ky in 1840  and moved to Richmond, Mo.. Zachariah died died 23 Sep 1864 at the age of 95 years. he was born in 1769. He left a widowed daughter, Mrs. Bryant, in Richmond. Mo. and a son John P. Quesenberry who was a merchant ther. He states that James Quesenberry was born in Va in 1690. His two sons were Zachariah in 1769 and Page in 1690. Page had three sons, Joseph, Abel and Solomon. Joseph died young. Abel was born in 1815 and died in 1883 leaving one daughter, Mrs. Hanks, of Hart Co., Ky. and three sons , Y. M. Quesenberry, of Gordon City, Kansas, J. W. Quesenberry  of Hiseville, Ky.  Ky, and myself (I. M. Quesenbery).  Solomon was born in 1806 and now lives near Glasgow, Ky. and has one son, I. W. Queseberry and four daughters living.. one single, Lucinda.. and three married.. Mrs. Kinnaird of Adair Co., Ky;  Mrs. Breeding of El Paso, Tx.; and Mrs. Wood of Hiseville, Ky. Zachariah had a daughter and two sons, Joseph and John. Joseph died young in Richmond Co., Mo and John is a prosperous mechant there. The daughter Mrs. Bryant lives with her brother John. After those two letters I must say that I have seen .  this group in Barren Co., Ky but never knew how they fit into the Quisenberry's of Va. On my Moses Cushenberry in Bourbon Co. Ky and sons in Fayette Co., Ky they are all around the Rev. James Quisenberry and his brother John and the names of some who came with the Craig's with the Traveling church from Orange and Spostsvvania County in Va. Rev. James Quisenberry left Va to Ky in 1783 and  1783  is the first record found in Ky of my Moses Cushenberry and that surname has been spellled so many ways including Quisenberry. I hope this helps if you didn't have this information.

Hi all, I'm not a Quesenberry descendant, but I have about 50 of them in my tree, mostly from Carroll County, VA. (Yes, they usually spell it with the "e" down there.) The first Quesenberry I ever met said immediately "My mother was a Hurst." Turned out that his Hurst line was originally from Loudoun County, while my came from Northumberland County, although one line did show up in Fauquier. But we were related though the Smith family from Prince William anyway. Getting all this? Now if you could find a connection between the Quisenberrys and my Underwood ancestors from Barren County, KY, I would be well on my way to proving that everybody is related to everybody! Ain't genealogy fun?! Bill Hurst (from Fairfax)

Moses Cushenbery and Ann unknown are my grandparents. I descend from their son Daniel who married Sarah (Sallie) Davis daughter of William Davis of Culpeper County. I believe my Moses is a descendant of the Quisenberry family of Va and since he died 1792 in Ky and was from Va he would have been born around or before Aaron Quisenberry that married Joyce Dudley. He is older than the other Moses Quisenberry in that family. Some people in the past got the two mixed up. Since I posted below I looked at the books I have by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry. In one of them it says that Rev. James Quisenberry came from Orange County, Va and in 1783 he removed to Ky. He is the son of Aaron Quisenbery and Joyce Dudley. Rev. James Quisenberry is also the brother of Moses (not mine) and their brother John Quisenberry who was in Clark County and moved to Warren Co.,Ky in 1808. My Moses three sons, Daniel, Elijah and Vincent Cushenberry moved to Warren and Allen Co.,Ky ca 1810. Allen was formed from Warren. Seems like they stayed together and knew the same people. Also, 1783 is important. It is the same year in the Quisenberry book that says that Rev. James Quisenberry came to Ky. and 1783 is the first record of my Moses Cushenbery in Ky too. Could they have come from Va to Ky together ? Marianne Dillow. **************************************************************************************************************************************** I have looked through my records and Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky was in 1787 at the settlement of Limestone. Then in that same year he bought 16 1/2 acres in the town of Washington, then in Bourbon County, but now in Mason County. 10 Oct 1787 Bourbon County, Ky Court Records Deed Book A, page 139. Then in 1787 Moses purchased 150 acres from Simon Kenton on south Fork Licking Creek in Bourbon County. Maybe that would help in finding more records as he was from Virginia and the first record found was 1783 where he signed a 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. .

My 5th great grandparents are Moses Cushenberry and wife Ann unknown. Moses was born in Virginia. He was in Kentucky in Fayette and Bourbon counties as early as 1783. He died in Bourbon Co., Ky in 1792 where he left his inventory. The Cushenberry name has been spelled several ways in records in Kentucky. Moses settled in the Limestone area in the town of Washington and Licking Creek and the land eventually became Mason Co., Ky although it was in Fayette and Bourbon counties when Moses lived there. It is believed Moses was a part of the Virginia Quisenbery family. Below are relationships that shows the Quisenberry family and intermarriages and the Traveling Church were known to my Moses Quisenberry that died 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. Moses and Ann's children are: (1) John Cushenberry married Rebecca Dowden10 Dec 1791. (2) William Cushenberry... had a daughter Rachel who married Richard Brown. (3) Elijah Cusenberry married Polly unknown..... their daughter Obedience married (i) Johnson Ellis, (ii) Johnson J. Cockerell. (4) Vincent Cushenberry m. Mary Davis dau of William Davis 4 May 1791 in Bourbon Co., Ky.. (5) Daniel Cushenberry m. Sally Davis dau of William Davis. (6) Mary Cushenberry m. Nicholas Lindsay. (7) Elizabeth Cushenberry m. Zachariah Ross. (8) Anna Cushenberry m. Vachel Lindsay. (9) Rachel Cushenberry m. John F. Pullin (Pulliam). John Quisenberry was also in Fayette Co., Va in a 1788 deed bounded by Thomas Burris and Robert McMillion and the record was acknowledged in Orange Co., Va as well as in Ky. Also Rev. James Quisenberry was in Fayette Co., Ky son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley. He was born 1759 in Spotsylvania Co., Va and died in Clark Co., Ky in 1830. He m. 1st Jane Burris dau of Thomas Burris and Frances Tandy and 2nd to Chloe Shipp. My Moses Cushenberry's children moved on to Warren Co., Ky and Allen Co., Ky formed from Warren County. Aaron Quisenberry was also in the 1820 Warren County records. He is the grandson of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley. Moses Quisenbery son of Aaron and Joyce Dudley was confused with my Moses Cushenberry for several years. But my Moses was older born ca 1720-1740 time frame as he died in 1792. Anderson Chenault. Quisenberry in his book entitled " Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family" on page 199 in theappendix says this about my line of Moses Cushenberry.... " From the "Burnt Records" of Fayette County" " The Burnt Records , so called, of Fayette County, Kentucky, are copies of mutilated papers partially saved from the flames when the Fayette County Clerk's Office was destroyed bt fire prior to the year 1800. In April 1888, I examined these records personally, and found where my great-grandfather Rev. James Quisenberry, 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 I, page 213) it is recorded that in 1795 Elijah Cushenberry bought land on David's Fork, Fayette County, from Elijah Craig." " Also, the following entries from the records succeeding the "burnt records". for the period between 1795 and 1800, viz: i. District Court, Book D, Elijah Cosenberry, deed to Elijah Craig, page 133. ii. . District Court, Book D, Lewis Craig to Lewis Custenberry, page 166........ (I don't know who Lewis Custenberry is ) iii. Circuit Court, Book B, Lewis Craig to Elijag Crousenberry, page 688 iv. County Court, Book C, Elijah Custenberry to R. R. Hunt, page 308 v. County Court, Book E, Wm. Cusenberry to Charles Robinson, page 381 vi. Marriage Register, book 1, page 4, John Pullen to Rachel Cushenberry Nov 6, 1804, by Rev. Ambrose Dudley. Elijah Cushenberry certifies that his sister Rachel is of lawful age. Book 1, page 10, Obedience Custenberry to Johnathan Ellis , Nov 29, 1807, by Rev. R. R. Hunt " Who these people were, and where they went to when the left Fayette county, in 1810, I do not know ......( my line went to Warren and Allen Co., Ky.. !! )........ the variations in the spelling .of the name is due to the lawyer who drew up the papers or of the clerks who recorded them, for none of the parties themselves could write at first, though Elijah seems subsequently to have learned to do so, and then, i nstead of "making his mark" he signed Cusennberry."..... A.C. Q..... Anderson Cheanault Quisenberry I feel that Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley named their son Moses after mine. Their other son is Rev. James Quisenberry who married (1) Jane Burruis (2) Chloe Shipp. Also, Aaron Quisenberry, Jr married Sally Ellis. Also... John Quisenberry brother to Rev James Quisenberry and son of Aaron Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley moved from Clark Co, Ky to Warren County, Ky in 1808 about the same time my bunch went there ca 1810. So in my research which started in the 1980's on Moses Cushenberry continues. If anyone can contribute to what I have it would be very much appreciated. Marianne Dillow Illinois

I belong to the Fauqui list, but I am not a Conway. I've been reading all the Conway mail though as my grgrgrandmother was Ann Eliza Conway Jordan, daughter of Edward Jordan. Could it be that the Conway's were somehow connected to the Jordan's? Not sure when Ann Eliza Conway Jordan was born, but she married in 1826 in Lunnenburg. Va. jsorensen4@cfl.rr.com

Hi Ginny, I can add some Va names with my Cushenberry''s in Bourbon co., Ky. Fayette was formed from it and many are there too and some went on to Clark Co., Ky. My Cushenberry males are the father Moses and his sons, Daniel (my grandfather), Elijah, Vincent, William and John. I have several dates on my Cushenberry's there but will add other Va names but I centered in those close to my family.. Fayette Co., Ky 1787 Tax List A ; William Cave, Sr; William Cave, Jr, Toliver Craig, John Graves, Thos. Graves, John Linsey (Lindsay), Leban (Laban) Shipp and Colby Shipp on 19 May 1787. 8 June 1787 : Rawleigh Chinn, Smith Darnell and John Tandy with my Moses Coosenberry (sp LOL ) 15 June 1787 : William Ellis, Thomas Ellis, Joseph McCann Neel McCann, and John Graves. On Fayette Co., Ky 1787 Tax List B is James Quisenberry and John Quisenberry. Aaron Bledsoe and his wife Mary and Thomas Burris were there. My grandfather William Davis from Culpeper Co, Va was there. And Miles W. Conway was there as a Trustee with Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton. This is just a small example of the ones from Va that helped settle those counties in Ky.
