Hello. I have hit a brick wall with my 4x great grandmother, Zerilda Jane Carr. She was born in 1828. She married John Ervin Rose on April 1, 1849 in Gallatin County. They had 2 children. One being Mary Hannah. Then she disappears. John Ervin Rose remarried in 1856 to Eliza Jane Barker. I can’t find Zerilda again anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Angela Sapp , angela74@hofnetinc.com.

Posted 09/19/2016 Surname: Batts/Butler Indenture

I would much appreciate thoughts from anyone who might have information on how to obtain a copy of an Indenture/Deed between a Mr. Batts and a Mr
Butler.  This Indenture would be dated circa 1820 and is needed for genealogical research.  I know it exists but have not yet obtained a certified copy of it.  (I have only seen a typewritten facsimile of the Indenture.)  Thank you, Anne E Stohr, greenwaytrekker@gmail.com, .

Posted 04/14/2014 Surname: Groves/Swango

This is related to my ggrandfather Noah Groves. I know he was born in Grant County Ky in 1858. His family relocated to Estill County for a number of years and then eventually came to Gallatin. Noah married my ggrandmother Candice Swango who grew up in Gallatin County. This was his 2nd marriage and first for Candice. They had one son who was Lawrence Groves. I have found out some info on the Swango family but when it comes to Noah's I come to a "brick wall." Noah died in 1959 at the home of Lawrence on Johnson Road. He is buried at Oakland Baptist cemetery on Johnson Road. He had other children from his 1st marriage. I have a newspaper clipping stating that Samuel Groves was his father and Armedia Groves was his mother. I can not find any docs proving this. If anyone has any info on this please contact me. Thanks, Christine Groves Francis, crfrancis@fuse.net

Posted 03/20/2014 Surname: Thomas (If you research this family name, please read this post)

While cleaning out my Dad's house recently, we came across a collection of papers that belonged to Katherine Wilson Thomas (1903-1989) who lived in Glencoe. She married Robert Thomas who was the son of Maude Price and Robert P. Thomas who was a prominent doctor in the Gallatin, Owen and Grant County area. It is a large collection of postcards, letters and other documents. There are letters and postcards from WWII as well as a WWI Volunteer Medical Service Corp. certificate belonging to Robert P. Thomas. We are not related to this family. I don't believe that Robert and Katherine had any children. I would like to hear from anyone who may be related to this family. I would like to pass this wonderful collection of papers along to a family relation. Please contact Karen Frans, karen_frans356@hotmail.com
