Dear list, This came to me from various other lists that I am on and I thought some of you might be interested in taking the survey. I'll be in the "black hole" (no computer) from Thursday of this week until about April 5. We're heading back to PA. Lots of work to do there. If you have any pressing questions, I'm sure someone on the list will be glad to help until I get back on-line.

Darla The Fullerton Genealogy Study California State University, Fullerton Nearly 60% of U.S. residents participate in some genealogical activities with worldwide figures not readily available. Yet there is sparse information about the millions of people involved in this rewarding hobby and what needs are met by the pursuit of one's ancestors. A thesis project designed to address these questions is being conducted at California State University Fullerton. Interested genealogists and family historians are being asked to fill out a 20 minute survey online. All information will be anonymously collected and no identifying information about individual answers will be divulged.

Dear Debbie: You are certainly correct in that Dora Caldwell and Jasper N. Yelton are not listed in the Pendleton Co. Marriage Index. Thank you for noting something I should have caught myself. But I thought you would want to know that both her obit in 1911 and his in Feb. 1922 state that they were married Aug. 12, 1880. According to the obit Dora was born Sept. 27, 1861 near Demossville, Ky. Pendleton Co. and died Nov. 29, 1911 in Knoxville, Tenn. Please note, Debbie, the birth date of Sept. 27, 1861, not Aug. 27, 1861. (The same source as the marriage location!) Carolyn

On again checking thru marriages bet. these 2 families, I have a question. 7(B) Katie May Johns (5/8/1878 KY - 1954 Pendleton Co., KY) (d/o Margaret "Maggie" Dunaway & David Johns) 1st mar. Marion Edward Gosney (8/1882 KY - 9/6/1917, bur. Flour Creek Cem.) (s/o Nimrod "Nim" Monroe & Hannah Bell Thomas Gosney, Sr.) on 11/2/1904 Pendleton Co., KY (P. C.

What are his dates? Who is he the s/o? Sure would like to get a few more of these relationships nailed down. Thanks for your help. Beth

Dear Deb and List, What is WCP? Rootsweb's World Connect Program?? This is what I have in my notes about Alexander L. Caldwell. *(1) "#5046: Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., Pendleton Co. A. L. CALDWELL is a native of Pendleton County, Ky., and was born in 1834, a son of William Caldwell, who was born in the same county in 1806, was a farmer and married a Miss Bird, a native of Kenton County. A. L. Caldwell began his business life as a nurseryman, but after five years' experience in that line resorted to farming, and now cultivates on 440 acres. He was married in 1860 to Mrs. Elizabeth Grove, who was born in Adams County, Ill., in 1836, and is a daughter of William Wood, a farmer." "Of the children born to this marriage six are living: Dora Ann (married to J. N. Yelton), Sarah, U. S. G., Estella, Carrie and Hortie. During the late war Mr. Caldwell served under Capt. Williams, of Tennessee, and also in the Twenty-third Kentucky Infantry, under Col. Marcellus Mundy."

Kathleen, Glad that you found the obits to be of use; old newspapers are a great source of information, especially when families like the Yeltons and Bryans live in one area for extended periods of time. Thought you would want to know that the Falmouth Outlook editions are available beginning in June of 1907. There are some earlier editions of other Pendleton Co. papers available through UK, but unfortunately few are complete. The list is as follows: Falmouth Independent: 1877 Complete year; 1878 Jan. 3 thru June 20, July 11, July 18; 1879 Feb 13 thru 24 July Falmouth Pendletonian: 1881 Jan. 20,27; Feb,3-24, Mar. 3-31, Apr. 7-28, May 5, 12, June 2, 16, 30, July 7, 21, 28, Aug. 4-25 The Guide: 1886 Feb 11 The Pendletonian: 1898: Oct 13; 1902 Feb 27, May 1; 1904: Jan.14, May 5; 1905: Feb. 9, Apr. 25, Sept 12 Falmouth Democrat: 1884: Oct. 10, 31; Nov. 21; Dec. 5, 12 1885: Jan. 9, 23, 30; Feb. 6, 13; 1886: Feb. 5, Oct. 8; 1895: Aug. 30 Happy hunting, Carolyn

There was a request for the marriage date for Alonzo Bryant & Rosetta. Also needed death date and burial place of Nancy Gosney Bryan d/o Robert H. Gosney and America Yelton. An article in the Oct. 20, 1922 edition of the Falmouth Outlook reads as follows: "The many friends and relatives of Mrs. Nannie Huddleston (nee Gosney), widow of the late George Huddleston, are pained to learn of her death, which occurred at her home near Vernon, Ill.,Sept. 29,1922. Mrs. Huddleston was about 66 years of age, was a native of this county, and spent a greater part of her life at this place and at Butler, where she is well known. She was a daughter of the late Hampton and America Gosney, and a sister of the late Oliver Gosney. She is survived by two sons, Bernie, and Charlie, of Illinois, and three brothers, Eugene Gosney of Illinois, Jasper and Robert Gosney whose whereabouts are unknown to the writer. The Obit for Alonzo Bryan in the Nov. 3, 1944 Falmouth Outlook (Pendleton Co. Ky.) reads in part: "He was twice married, both companions being good, true women; the first time to Miss Nancy Gosney, to whom three children were born,of whom two survive, Burney Bryan of Normal, Ill., and Charley Bryan of Vandalia, Ill. The second marriage was to Miss Rose Ella Robinson, to whom four sons were born, of whom only one survives, Howard R. Bryan of Grant's Lick. Both wives preceded him in death many years...." Evidently Nancy Gosney and Alonzo Bryan were divorced and both remarried. These obits will probably raise still more questions, but they are interesting and hopefully will provide some help. Carolyn

Dear List; I'm grasping at straws on this one. Hope someone can help. I have a Shiloah Cole married to (?) Youngblood. They had a daughter, Viola Cole. Shiloah was killed by accidental shooting (cleaning his gun). After his death, it's said that Viola went to live with her aunt and uncle, James Ferdinard Yelton/Vivian Chain Cole. Does this ring any bells to anyone?? Or does someone have any ideas where I can check. Thanks, Cuz Vickie

Looking through the web I found the Cemetery Index for Pendleton County KY. I found a Charles S. (1908-1969) and Syble Yelton Jones (1912-1957) buried in Gum Lick Cemetery. Who does this Syble belong to??? Also in the Turner Ridge Cem there is buried: Charles E. (1906-1994) and a Florence R. (1910- ), and a baby Mary L. Yelton June 9, 1928. Where do these people fit in???? Kathy

What was her death date? >> Kathleen, Can't answer where Alonzo and Rosetta were married, but I have the following in my file, but do NOT have the source at this time for death date / place - Nancy "Nannie" M. Gosney (1/4/1856 Campbell Co., KY - 9/29/1922 Vernon, IL) (d/o Robert Hampton & America Yelton Gosney, Sr.) Interestingly, in addition to 2nd wife's name of Rosetta that you have, I also have Mary Rosetta and Rose Ella. Sort of a take your choice. Her birth date of 9/1877 also make her 17 yrs. younger than Alonzo. This was not UNcommon, but may need to be verified from some source. I do not have a source listed at this time and would appreciate one. Beth
