Thanks to all who provided information on Stephen C. Burk and Hester Ann Cheek Burk. These people are my gggrandparents. Sarah K. Burk was my ggrandmother. She married John Dobson Morrison in Lee County on 5/20/1894 according to Lee County marriage records. I do have an additional question. Did Stephen and Hester have more than six children? In addition to Cora, Rowena, Sarah K., James, Nancy and Addie M, I believe that there may have been at least five more children, Evan, Mattie, Cassie, Mary and Willard. Does anyone know for sure? All of these names were passed through my family over the years.

Vanetta, James D. Blanton, born abt. 1773 prob. Lee Co. VA. died abt 1850 Harlan Co. KY, brother to my George, was first married to Margaret Trimm Carter. They were married 13 Apr. 1812 in Green Co. TN. He married second to Mary Rebecca Saylor on 11 May 1832 Kentucky. She was the d/o Solomon & Sarah Salyer Saylor. He can be found in the 1795 Lee Co. VA. Tax List and 1830 & 1840 Harlan Co. KY Census. James Blanton, born abt. 1816, some say Harlan County, KY. but Harlan Co. wasn't formed yet. I don't think it was formed until about 1819-1820 so I'm thinking he was born in Knox Co. KY. He married 22 Dec 1837 Harlan Co. KY. Sarah Davis, b.abt. 1820 Harlan Co. KY. James parents were William Blanton & Susannah Brock. William is also suppose to be a brother to my George. James & Sarah can be found in the 1850 Harlan Co. Census; # 7, HH#348. James is 34 and Sarah is 30. They can be found in the 1860 Harlan Co. Census; HH#846, James is 44 and Sarah is 38. There has been a lot of confusion between these two James. My 3rd grgrandfather was James Henry Blanton, b. 25 Jan 1820 prob. Scott Co. VA. d. 5 Aug 1905 Johnson Co. KY., s/o George & Martha Shepherd Blanton, m. 24 Sept 1940 Floyd Co. KY. (I have their marriage license) Mary Davis,b.8 July 1824 Fish Trap, Johnson Co. KY. d.7 Apr 1897 Johnson Co. KY., d/o Elias Davis & Elizabeth Betty Curtis. I have even seen my James birth and death date for James married to Sarah Davis. I have James Henry's Death Certificate and have been to his and Mary's graves several times. I hope this helps. :) Sheila ----- Original Message ----- From: <VanetteHobbs@aol.com> To: <VALEE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 11:10 PM Subject: Re: [VALEE] Nichols,- Robinett > Sheila, > > I have William Ely, Sr. born in PA March 25, 1753; and Mary Rawlins (I had > her as Rallings) b. in VA.

Sheila, I have William Ely, Sr. born in PA March 25, 1753; and Mary Rawlins (I had her as Rallings) b. in VA. Have them married Oct. 23, 1780 in Bedford Co., VA. I have six children listed for them, but no birth dates. I run into a problem with James D. Blanton and wife. I have him married to a Sarah Davis. Do you know whether he was married twice, or do I have Sarah in the wrong place? I had a James Blanton as brother to George, but didn't have him as James D. I'm not sure if I have too many James Blantons, or just don't have them matched with the right family. Do you have birth or death dates for James? Might help me sort this out. Thanks a bunch, Vanette (Hobbs) Hamilton

Gail, I am passing your email to a distance cousin also. We do not know much about the Godsey family but what we do have we will be glad to share with you. There was an Isaac Godsey, but do not know if it was your line or ours. Our line came from Lee and Wise County's. We ran into a problem with too many William's and Elizabeth's to track back. Sheryl Young Barnes, Newark, Ohio sunnjammers@alltel.net (you may have to retype sunnjammers@alltel.net in the "TO" box)

My ggrandmother was Elizabeth Burk, parents listed as John and N.Burk in the Marriage book. She married Silas D. Martin 9-13-1865. That is all I have on her.

To Sheryl (Young Barnes): In your Godsey family do you have Isaac Samuel Godsey b. ca 1811 who married Kate Carmack? Or Isaac Godsey/Goodsey b. 1851 who married Rachel E. Ayers in Lee Co, VA on 18 Feb 1872? Kate Carmack was the aunt of Rachel Ayers. I think (but have no proof) that the two Isaacs may have been father and son. I would appreciate help from anyone on this family.
