Shannon Posted 07/15/2020 Surname: Wolfe I am looking for birth records, parents and siblings names, etc. for my grandfather, John William Wolfe, born Oct 5, 1892 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. His mother died when he was a small child and was given to other family members to raise. When he was old enough he joined the military and never returned to Kentucky. My mother and her siblings never knew who their father’s family were. My grandfather died when he was only 42 years old and never talked about his family because of the deep hurt he carried with him after his mother had died and his father had given him up. His father had remarried and had more children and this just deepened the hurt, feeling like his father had just forgotten him, which he had. So, my mother and her siblings never had the chance to speak with him about his family with them all being so young and losing him so soon. I appreciate any help or assistance you can give me.

Although searching for nearly 40 years, I have never been able to determine the parents of my 3ggg-grandmother, Elizabeth. I believe that she may have had Sinclair siblings in Scott County that may have settled there a few years before she and Bartlett arrived. When Elizabeth died of Cholera in 1852 she was in Scott County perhaps there visiting relatives, because Bartlett was still in the Lusby’s Mill area of Owen County at the time of Elizabeth's death.

Her father was Anthony Perry; her mother Nancy Walker. Nancy’s father was Nathaniel Walker. The information she put on chart was: Millia Ann Perry, 1828-1908, Salvisa KY (later Granby, Mo) Parents: Anthony Perry 1802-1827 deceased in KY (death year one year before Millia was born,? My question) He married Nancy Walker 1800-1849, deceased in KY Father of Nancy Walker, Nathanial Walker, B; circa 1775?. Deceased 1838 in KY (his wife Melissa Smith) Millia (or Milly on marriage license) married William Stirman Street October 18, 1844 in KY. Millia, age 16, William, age 25 on marriage date. Millia is my gggrandmother. Problem: We cannot verify on the web….Anthony Perry/Nancy Walker/Nathanial Walker Another perplexity….in a letter (1980) to my mother, Vern made a comment that “One Sylvanus Walker was the brother of our great grandmother, Millia Ann Perry Street.” I assume perhaps Sylvanus Walker would be a child of Nathanial and Melissa Walker. However I cannot find a Sylvanus (many of those) in the age range of Millia. I have found on Find A Grave, William Street 1819-1898, Missouri, and Millia. It seems they had 9 children per other records. All of our charts and what I have found on web, comes to a grinding halt when we try to search past Millia.

My original search began with my great grandfather's surname,
"Philo" The family Bible lists Raymond Philo, Sr.'s mother
as only, "Martha". Recently I came across a death certificate for a
Mary Philo Oliver. Her parents were listed as Raymond Philo and her
mother's last name appears to be "Lafe". I am having a difficult
time finding that surname. I can't seem to find it listed as a
slave owner's surname either. I'm guessing that Martha Lafe was born
into slavery abt. 1854. Any help would really be appreciated! Linda

I am researching members of the Frain

Fielding Frain (born about 1859 in Owen County) and he was the son
of Andrew Frain (born about 1820-1822 in Kentucky, resided in Owen
County in the 1840s, 1850s, 1860s and 1870s; he died in Franklin
County). Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Ken Stewart,

As I get further and further back in my genealogy
searching I am learning, or at least it looks like, a couple of my
maternal ancestral lines trace back to the early days of Owen Co.,
KY, especially in the Lusby Mill area. I believe that the
William Jones for whom Cobbs Mill was built [according to the Lusby
Mill website] was my maternal great, great great grandfather. And,
again according to the online history the Mill was named for his
father-in-law Samuel Cobb. Samuel’s daughter was Dilla or Deliah
Cobb [Williams’s wife, and my great, great, great, grandmother]. I
am hoping to find connections to others of their descendants still
living in or around the Lusby Mill area. And another one of my
lines also descends from that same family. A son of Samuel Cobb was
Thomas Cobb who married Priscilla Smith. They had a daughter, Lucy
Cobb, who married Pleasant Jones [son of William Jones and Deliah
Cobb. So this gets a little complicated.
I think that Thomas Cobb and Deliah Cobb were
brother and sister, and therefore Lucy Cobb and Pleasant Jones were
1st cousins. It is through Lucy Cobb and Pleasant Jones that
my line descends. They moved to Jennings Co., IN, and had a
daughter named Eliza Jones, who married a John Davis [who is
actually one of my big “brick wall” problems.] I’m thinking his
family may have originally come from Owen County, KY also.
From IN my family moved to southern Iowa and Nebraska and then
eventually to California. If anyone still in or around the
Lusby Mill area has more information on this family I would love to
make contact with them. Thanks for any help, Chere (Glaze) Negaard,
cherejohn@earthlink.net As
an addition to the above query, can anyone tell me who the Davis
family was that owned the farm, on which the "Old Jackson Graveyard"
was? Supposedly that's where Samuel Cobb is buried.

for District 2 to see if I could find the Smoot family... when on page
3, I ran into something very interesting! On page 3 is listed Boswell
Meeks and his wife, Polly. Supposedly Minerva's parents name that
married John Morgan... BUT, there are 3 girls living with Boswell at

at John Morgan on page 79.. His wife Minerva was listed as 21 yrs old.

feel that many other out there, thought the same! So.... whose daughter
is this that John Morgan's married? There are a lot of Hughes around at
that time, John was living near a Lewis Morgan and wife, Harriett; which
I assume is his brother. Is Minerva's real name Minerva Hughes?! Any

Thank You, Carmelita Marotta Posted 10/15/11 Surnames Cook & Skidmore I am searching for information relating to my great-grandfather, Levi Cook (1878-1911). He was born in Owen Co. (I believe) on 10 Nov 1878 and he died in Owen Co. on 9 Jun 1911. He was the son of William Seberry Cook and Mary Jane Webster. He married Annie E. Skidmore in Henry Co in 1900. My grandmother, Lena Cook was born in Henry Co in 1902. The 1910 census shows Levi living back in Owen Co with his parents with his marital status as divorced. My grandmother, Lena, is living with them. I cannot find any info. on what happened to my great grandmother, Annie Skidmore. I have searched for divorce records in various counties and found nothing. I did request a copy of Levi's death certificate from 1911 and it shows him as married. If this is the case he must have remarried some tme between the time of the 1910 census and his death in 1911, however, I cannot find a record of a marriage. I would like to hear from anyone with information on this Cook family or suggestions of where I could look next. Thank you.

Does anyone have these two located anywhere in either the Williams or Seebree family trees. Posted 08/3/2011 Surnames: Hughes, Davis My G-Grandfather, John William HUGHES had nine siblings. Been trying to trace each of the siblings forward to modern day. I know that several them married individuals named DAVIS. My grandmother's ancestors also married in the DAVIS family. One name continues to crop up in my research on UNOFFICIAL sources, the name is: BRACK DAVIS. I have searched death records, marriage records, birth records, any official record I can find for a BRACK DAVIS, but have been unable to locate anything. The Owen County DAVIS individuals seemed to have a love of
naming their children with INITIALS, which probably stood for something to them, but officially, they were just initials. For instance my G-grandfather's sister, Catherine 'Kate' HUGHES married JOHN C. B. DAVIS. I have often wondered if this is the 'mysterious' BRACK DAVIS referred to so often on unofficial soruces. The era would be roughly 1845-1945. Wondering if anyone has run across any 'official reference' to BRACK DAVIS during their research. Thanks.

Thank You, Lucy Morningstar, lucymorningstar@yahoo.com Posted 05/10/2010 Surname: Stout I am researching my ancestors on Ancestry, but have been unable to find a link to the ancestors I know lived in Owen County, Kentucky due to a biographical review which was verbatim from my great-great grandfather FRANCIS MARION STOUT. He states: My grandfather, Eli Stout, came from NJ to Ky in the early 1800's. He was a pioneer of Fayette Co, Ky and died in Owen Co, Ky. His son Isaac Stout, (Francis Marion's father) was born in Scott Co, KY where he was raised, educated and married. He married Lydia Baxter of KY. He died in Leesburg, Harrison Co, KY of cholera, in 1833, his wife having died a few days previous of cholera. We know Francis Marion was then reared by his paternal grandfather and grew to manhood in Scott Co and then in Owen Co where he attended subscription schools, and high schools, at Owenton, Ky. in 1844 he moved to Illinois. Do you have any records of either Eli, Issac or Francis Marion Stout? Or Lydia Baxter? Any help appreciated, Lila Hess, ljh35@earthlink.net Posted 04/30/2010
