Posted 12/14/2004 I would appreciate anyone having information on a family "Hurst" living in
Adair County in 1800/1810. Thanks, Calvin Hurst
CalHurst@att.net Posted 12/8/2004 I would appreciate any help in finding the parents of my gggrandfather, John Alford Breeding , I located him & his family on the 1870 census and he was just above a Jesse Breeding, age 31 & his family (It is possible that Jesse could be John's brother).
This is an entry from a family bible:
John Alford Breeding
27 Nov. 1838 - 30 Dec. 1898
Nancy Jane Reed Breeding
5 Aug. 1839 - 26 May 1886
Mary Alice Breeding Parsons
29 Nov. 1858 - 2 Jul. 1944
Winston Breeding
24 Dec. 1860
Lou Sara Breeding Curry Feggette
1862-1897
Lenora Francis Breeding Janes
5 Apr. 1865 - 1951
Elzora Elizabeth Breeding Harvey
5 Apr. 1865 - 3 Jan. 1943
Unice Bertie Breeding
1868 - 1873
Claudius Breeding
Died in infancy
Virgie Breeding
1875 - 1894
Jennie Breeding
Died in infancy
Nancy Jane Reed, I believe to be Imanuel/Emanuel Reed's daughter (on the
Adair Co. 1850 census, it showed an E. J. Reed which I think was wrong,
should have been N.J. Reed for Nancy)
I have not any evidence of any relationship to the other Breedings here,
such as Rev James Breeding. I have not found John in someone's household
when he was young as per a census.
Thank You for your time, Jim York

Thanks, charlene stapp charlenestapp@sbcglobal.net Posted 11/17/2004 I am descended from John Patterson. I have found much information on this site and feel there may be a connection to some of the other families in Adair. Including the Walker family. John was born in 1784 and may have been from Virginia. He had a large family. There are specifics about him in the "Brickwall" section, posted by Bruce Patterson (a cousin). I am hoping that someone might make a connection. Any help will be appreciated, Christiane Howard Sicambrian@aol.com Posted 10/21/2004

Posted 4/26/2004 My GG grandparents were Simeon F. and Lavina (Coffey) Coombs. They were married in 1823 in Adair County, KY at the home of Lavina's father Joel Coffey. My dilemma is there are so many Joel Coffey's I can't be certain which Joel he was. A hint is Lavina was born about 1805. Are there any shortcuts to pinpointing which Joel Coffey was living in Adair County in 1823? Thank you, Bill DeGarmo billde@kcisp.net Posted 3/24/2004
Sarah A. Triplett, born ca 1811 in Adair County, Kentucky. She
married Darius Baugh on Sept. 13, 1828 in Russell Co., Ky. Their
children were: Martha, Nancy, Ruth J., Elizabeth, William Riley, John Allen,
Roxena (Roena), Sarah G., Caroline, and Mary F. Baugh. The family was
in Clinton Co. KY by 1840 and then moved to Putnam Co., MO.
I believe Sarah may have been a daughter of the John Triplett listed in
the 1810 Census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
