Hi Sandra, I have heard of your line in Barren Co., Ky but I don't know who they are. In Anderson Chenault Quisenberry's book in the Appendix he has a couple of letters from I. 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.
