· 4/9/08 Surnames: Browning, Baldwin, Bradburn, Bramel, Dykes, Hendricks, Turner
I hope to be able to solve my Dykes and Browning's family dilemma's with the help of your viewers. My Great-grandfather William T. Dykes b. ca March 1833, marr. Sarah J. Hendricks KY. It's a possibility the John and Patsey ( ? ) Dykes of Bourbon Co. are William T.'s parents but this has not be proven.
Millersburg, Bourbon Co. KY would possibly be William T. birthplace. When William T. marr. Sarah J. they raised all nine of their children in Millersburg, therefore spending almost all of their lives in Millersburg, KY.
One of their dau.'s Georgia A. Dykes b. Feb 1875, married ca 1889; to Charles C. Browning, b. 01 Oct 1868. They are found in Millersburg, Bourbon Co. KY also, until moving to Paris, KY and residing there until death. Chas. C. Browning d. 15 Apr 1944 Paris Bourbon Co KY; Georgia A. Browning d. 15 Jun 1961, they are both buried at the Paris Cemetery. I am hoping someone in the area will be so kind to look up their Obituaries which I will gladly reimburse them for their time and troubles.

· 1/31/2008, Surnames: Nesbit/Nesbitt; McClure; Layne
John Nesbit/Nesbitt b 1810 Bourbon County or Winchester, Clark County, KY. There are conflicting reports. He married Sophia Grahm Layne in Floyd County 1845. He was in the 1850 Floyd co census and after that Sophia was with the children. One article I read said he was an attorney. Did not find that either. Found no death date of place of death. His father was said to have been a John Nesbitt and mother Mary McClure but I can not prove this. If he was married more than once I do not know. Hoping that some one will have information for me.
· 10/25/07, Surnames: Rodgers
I have two brick walls in Bourbon County. One is the location of Stoner, which I assume was along Stoner Creek, but where?
The other is Samuel Isley Rodgers who was in Stoner when daughter, Susannah, was born in August 1817. A Samuel Rodgers is on the 1820 census of Stoner. No white persons are indicated on his line, but he is not identified as a "free colored person" as are others on this census. A Samiel or Samul Rodgers is on the 1810 census of Stoner. but having no further information on Samuel and his wife, Susannah ROSS Rodgers, I am unable to make a connection. Any assistance is appreciated.

· 6/22/07, Surnames: Baker, Sagasser
My brick wall is the parents of Jacob Baker of Nicholas Co who died in 1814, wife Barbara (possibly nee Sagasser). Believe he is a son or brother of Isaac Baker who settled in Bourbon Co and shows up with him (Jacob) on the 1797 and 1797 Bourbon Co Tax list. An Isaac Baker signed a $600 surety document at the estate settlement of Jacob Baker in 1814. Does anyone know any more of this Isaac Baker of Bourbon Co. There were two Isaac Bakers in Bourbon about the same time. One went to Sangemon Co ILL and had a son Jacob born 1790 who also lived in Nicholas Co. This Jacob is too young to be my ancestor though.

· 5/3/2007, Surnames: Cowan, Brown
Looking for more information on Catherine Cowan and John Brown married 10 Nov. 1797 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. I know they had property later in Allen County, Kentucky and John later died in Jefferson County, Missouri. Does anyone know of their parents, siblings, if they were born in Bourbon County?
· 4/19/2007,Surname: Hall
I can't say it is a brick wall I confront, but some very murky water for which I would like some clarification. I have a James Hall who was born in Bourbon county in 1799. He married (I am not sure who or when) had three children: William Lofton, James Ford and Thomas D. Between 1835 and 1837 they moved to Miss and had five more children. Mother died, he
remarried and had five more. Once in Miss, I have creditable data. But for James in KY and his father, Alexander, born 1774 in SC all I have are suppositions. I don't know James' mother, any siblings, marriage or death of parents. I know even less about Alexander. A will notes an Alexander as the son of Moses Hall which is what I have found on various web sites. Any clarity anyone can provide would be welcome.
