Henry County Brick Wall Queries

All of us have a "brick wall" somewhere in our research! It's that elusive ancestor that just doesn't seem to exist! I will be posting emailed queries sent to me by people who are searching for their "brick wall" ancestors. Please take time to look them over and if you have info that could help these folks, please let them know!

My grandfather, Richard VEST b 10/6/1882, Henry County, KY was the son of Andrew Jackson VEST and Nancy O'Nan BENNETT. His father died in 1891 and his mother died in 1883. Richard told his family that he had ridden the Orphan Train and we do believe he did, even though so far no record has been found (and evidence points to his not being adopted out) so he ended up back in Henry County. He had a guardian, James RODGERS and was listed
in the 1897 School Census for Blackwell in Henry County. Richard told the family that his sister and brother rode with him. On the 1880 census for Pleasureville, Henry County, Richard's siblings that were at home are
listed: Isaiah VEST, age 6 and Sarah Christina VEST, age 3. These children would have had to been the ones that rode the train with him. No one knows what happened to them. Did they ride or did they die? We
would like to have closure on them since this has been a brick wall for some time. Can anyone help with this??? My e-mails are: chrisprofitt@insightbb.com or clprofitt@hotmail.com and I will gladly share information. Thanks, Chris Profitt.

This has been a brick wall for me for 25 years: I am looking for information on my grandfather, Richard "Dick" Vest of Henry County, Ky. He was born approx. 1884 and he was on an Orphan Train. I am interested in finding out who his parents are. On the 1900 Census he is listed living with the Lindsey Craigmyles family in Yest, Henry County, KY. His residence in 1910 was in Defoe and he was in Henry Co in 1930. I do know that his parents were not Zorobabel Vest and Christena Derringer. Zorobabel died in 1876. My father told me his grandfather he thought was Andrew Jackson Vest who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. My father also told me that his grandparents died in the cholera epidemic and that was why my grandfather ended up on an Orphan Train. Any informaion would be of help. My grandfather married my grandmother in 1907 in Henry County. Her name was Zorah Lillian Miskell and her father was Granville Martin Miskell. She is also listed on the 1900 census as living in Yest, Henry County, KY. Any information on my grandfather or on Zorah Lillian's grandparents, Humphrey Hawkins and Permelia Clements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Chris Profitt, chrisprofitt@windstream.net

My great great grandfather was John "Jack" Neff. I have never been able to locate his parents. On two separate censuses he claimed he was born in 1810 in Kentucky. The nearest possibility we have been able to find so far is
that there was a Daniel Nave listed on the 1820 census for Newcastle, Henry County. This Daniel Nave had two males in the household between 0- 10 years old. One male was between 18-26. One of the younger males
could be our John "Jack" Neff. Daniel, himself, was listed as being over 45 years old. Daniel Neff (who may have been the father of our John "Jack" Neff married Mary "Polly" Logan. Two Logan families also lived in
Newcastle, Henry County Kentucky on the 1820 census. Jas Logan was head of one of the families and John Logan was head of the other family. These two families living in the same proximity to each at the right time make a strong case. I am hoping someone in Henry county can look at the records for that area between 1795 and 1820 and see if they locate any documents showing any actions by either of these families and especially anything showing any interactions between the two families. Thanks, Norman Neff, Gene1527@aol.com

married in 1904 (to Ollie Salyers). According to the LDS site, Naomi was born in April, 1875, in Henry County

My Great Great grandfather was John Neff. He also went by the name "Jack". On two census records he claimed he was born in 1810 in Kentucky. John Murray, a noted Neff researcher believes John Neff was the 6th child of Daniel Neff and Mary "Polly" Logan, and was born in Henry County, KY. This Daniel Neff was born abt 1771 and he married Mary
Polly Logan 28 Sep 1795 in Franklin County, VA. Daniel Neff died in Cass County, Indiana. I have been unable to find any record of Daniel Neff, Polly Logan or John Neff anywhere in Kentucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Norman E. Neff, Gene1527@aol.com

I am trying to find the parents of Frances La Compte who married Amos Jackson in Switzerland county, IN in l817. Frances and Amos had about 9 children, one of which is my gr-gr-grandmother Sibbi Ann Jackson La Compte.

Sibbi's husband, though I've never found a marriage record, is Horace who I find in a leter census perhaps living with a daughter and her family. Would sincerely appreciate any hint or
help, Don Weber, dftague@aol.com

Henry County, Nov. 1824 will was probated for Daniel Sanford. Henry County, KY Will
Records, 1800-1821, pg. 314. Daniel arrived in Bourbon Co. in 1798 and then moved to Henry where he died. According to KY Biographies of a grandson, Lewis Major Sanford, I think errors have been made by those publishers of the past who simply wrote what the client presented without factual documentation. Please help me. First, Charles Sanford born in Virginia in 6 FEB 1790, was actually Charles born on that date in Dartmouth, MA. Charles' father was Richard. This Richard was born circa 1764 and died in MA circa 1806. The major discrepancy being the location of birth and death making it improbable that this is the correct Daniel. The correct Daniel would be the Daniel born in Westmoreland, VA. He had a son named Charles. He died in Henry Co., KY and his will was probated there, too. I think there is a perponderance of evidence showing that those early bio book publishers were given incorrect information by a family member. If there are still lines to the Sanford family, please clarify this information for me. A descendant of Daniel Sanford of Virginia who died in Henry Co., KY in 1824. Thank you, Brenda Pike, hiptub2@aol.com

Would like to connect with anyone working on the LeCompte family w/its various spellings. My temporary interest is with Horace LeCompte and his wife Sibbi Ann Jackson. Horace's parents I'm not sure, but Sibbi's parents were Amos Jackson and Frances LeCompte who married in Ripley county, IN in 1817. I do not know if Horace and Sibbi ever married as I have yet to find it. The family of Horace and Sibbi LeCompte I have found in only one U.S. Census, and that is the 1870 Henry county, KY
census. As I remember their children were Caroline, James, Frances Emmaline, Wm. and maybe a Susan. The name LeCompte is so unusual and must be related to the LeComptes of Le Compte Bottom. My great grandmother was Caroline Le Compte who married Simeon Tague on 1-4-1874 in Ripley county, IN. They went to Nebraska in 1879 w/e sons and Simeon's parents. My grandfather was their 4th son, Walter Rufus Tague. Caroline died 3-5-1880 leaving her 4 sons. Simeon returned to Indiana and dropped the 4 boys hither and yond.
