Davis, Mishre
I am looking for any information about about the family of Samuel Brown. Samuel was from Pittsburgh, PA. His mother was Sallie Dean and his wife was Sarah who was from KY. Samuel and Sarah's children were to the best of my knowledge all born in Kentucky. They had lived in the Ludlow, Kenton Co. area in the 1860's. I do know that one of his sons, Ralph Grayson Brown, married in Newport, KY and eventually moved to Vigo Co., IN were he and his wife, Frances Bell (PUFF) Brown died. If you have any information about this family, I would love to hear from you and see if we can make a connection. Thank you.

SHEPHERD FAMILY - Philip B. Shepherd's dau. Mary Elizabeth m. Thomas Alexander Stiles 21 Jan 1880 in Kenton Co., KY. Can anyone shed any more light on these families? Thanks. A SHEPHERD FAMILY FROM MARYLAND TO KENTUCKY, INDIANA, ILLINOIS, AND ALL POINTS WESTWARD Siblings: I. JOHN B. SHEPHERD b. 1777 MD II. JOSEPH SHEPHERD III. WILLIAM SHEPHERD IV. LUCRETIA SHEPHERD m. James G. Jones Joseph, John B. and William Shepherd were all listed on the same page (1510 in the 1820 Grayson Co. KY census, William disappears in 1830). It is known that John B. and Joseph are brothers and that William and Lucretia are probably also siblings based upon family naming patterns and settlement sites of the younger Shepherd members. I. JOHN B. SHEPHERD b. 8 July 1777 in MD (location unknown but possibly Charles Co. MD as three of his children married three Neale siblings who came from Charles Co.) . The Shepherd family was among the early Catholic settlers who settled in Grayson Co., KY, in 1820. In 1840 they moved to neighboring Meade Co., KY where John B. Shepherd died and is buried at St. Martin’s Catholic Church in Flaherty. In 1850 Elizabeth, his wife, moved with most of her younger children to St. Marie, IL Jasper Co., where she lived until her death in 1859. John B. Shepherd married Elizabeth Miles about 1800 probably in St. Mary’s Co., MD, since her obit states that as her birthplace. Their children: 1. JOSEPH H. SHEPHERD b. 1811 m. 13 May 1832 to Catherine Stephens, by Cath. Priest Chas. Coomes in Perry Co., IN , m.2nd Elizabeth ---- 1839 in Hardin Co., KY Joseph and Catherine had: a. John M.

JOSEPH SHEPHERD According to the 1850 Grayson Co., Census Joseph Shepherd Sr. age 75, a farmer born in MD is living with his son John H. Shepherd age 24 and wife Sarah E. 18 (married within the year). Also, found in the household is Joseph Shepherd Jr. age 16, a farmer. Joseph Shepherd Jr. is found in the 1860 Grayson Co., KY census, age 26 with Eliza wife age. 26 and daus. Julia 3 and Susan J 6/12. John H. Shepherd is found in the 1870 Grayson Co., KY census age 45, wife Sarah E. Age 37 and children Mary Elizabeth age 12, J. H. age 10, Benedict age 7, and S.W. age 5. The 1880 Grayson Co., KY census lists Eliza A. Sheppard age 46 with daus. Julia A. 23, Teresa E. 18, Mary E. age 14, and Nancy C. 10. Grayson Co. marriages lists Joseph Shepherd of Grayson Co., age 21 m. to Eliza Clark of Grayson Co., age 23 m. on 20 Nov. 1856. Grayson Co., KY Miscellaneous, by F. T. Ingmire, pg. 12 lists the "death of Joseph Shepherd age 78 died 18 Feb. 1859 of old age, parent John Shepherd" making a birth year of 1781. III. WILLIAM SHEPHERD Listed on the 1820 census of Grayson Co, KY, but disappears in 1830. In 1820 he is listed as having seven children. IV. LUCRETIA SHEPHERD m. James G. Jones 30 Sep 1815 (license issued) Perry Co., IN m. 1 Oct. 1815 by Jas. McDaniel, Judge, Perry Co., IN Their marriage is also listed in the St. Augestine Catholic Church in Leopold, IN. A child and a grandchild of John B. Shepherd’s appeared in Leopold Twsp, Perry Co. The first was the marriage of Joseph Shepherd to Catharine Stephens 13 May 1832 by Chas. Coomes, a Catholic priest and apparently close friend of the family since he officiated at many of their events. The second incident was the grandson of John B. Shepherd’s to be baptized in Perry Co., IN. In St. Augestine’s parish we also find the 10 Apr 1851 baptism of James Monroe Shepherd s/o John Miles and Rose Ann King. Also the 1861 Perry Co., IN atlas lists J. H. Shepherd owning 80 acres in the SW corner of the county (Leopold Twsp) and another 80 acres joining Leopold Twsp with Union Twsp and ab. 2 mi. South of the St. Augestine’s Catholic Church. J. Jones owns 80 acres in Tobin Twsp. James G. Jones was Indiana’s first Attorney General although the office was not funded in the 1816 Constitution. It was in 1821 that the legislature established or funded the office for a period of three years and an annual salary of $200. James G. Jones’s signature as AG can be found on approximately twelve documents. "Warrick Co - 1885" by Goodspeed, pg.. 7 "One of the ablest lawyers of the Indiana bar was James G. Jones who succeeded Judge Panett 1869-1871. Resident of Evansville. Vanderburgh Co., IN, but lived early life in Newburg. Attorney General for the State." pg. 53 lists James G. Jones Coroner 1814. Pg. 86 "James G. Jones was a member of the secret society of the Newburg Lodge #104, I.O.O.F. and a charter member of Wolsey Encampment Jan. 18, 1854." Counties involved: San Bernadino Co., CA Jasper Co., IL Logan Co., IL Macon Co., IL Richland Co., IL Harrison Co., IN Marion Co., IN Perry Co., IN Vanderburgh Co., IN Bourbon Co., KS Miami Co., KS Sedgwick Co., KS Grant Co., KY Grayson Co., KY Hardin Co., KY Kenton Co., KY Meade Co., KY Scott Co., KY Charles Co., MD St. Mary’s Co., MD Adair Co., MO LaClede Co., MO Brown Co., OH Garfield Co., OK Oklahoma Co., OK

BENSON. Researching the BENSON line, decendants of Zachariah Benson, from VA(?), d. bef. 1838, buried in Campbell Co. His children: Reuben, b. 1791 in VA, d. bef Oct 1860, buried in Fiskburg, Kenton Co.; Martin; Judy; Mima; Nancy; and Matthew. Many of Reuben's children and decendants lived in Grant and Pendleton Co. However, some of the family apparently lived from time to time in Kenton Co. I would appreciate any info on this BENSON line and linkage to ancestors. Will exchange info.

My g-grandmother Bena E. Canfield-Miller died at the home of her sister and brother-in-law Lucy and Edward Moreland on 30 Dec 1907. I would like to know if a death certificate is available and how to obtain one. Bena was buried in Aurora, Indiana. I am also searching for information on Mary Bena Moreland, daugther of Lucy and Edward. Their son Chester had a daughter Jane who married Floyd Ward and had three children. I am searching for the names of those three children. I would appreciate any suggestions regarding where to search for this information.

I am searching for information about George Gaunt and his wife Emma Robinson Gaunt. George was born abt 1862 in Ohio. They appear in the 1920 census for Kenton, County. George was abt. 58 and Emma abt. 60 years old at the time. Their children were Alice Gaunt Sizelove, Ella Gaunt Showalter, Minnie Gaunt Fischer, William Gaunt (married Myrtle Jane Childress) and George Gaunt. I belive most of their children were born in the Cincinnati area of Ohio but were raised and married in Kenton, County. Information on any of these people will be greatly appreciated. I want to thank Debbie and Carol for responding, I wouldn't have the information I have without them. Thank you, Bonnie Gaunt Snow bonsnow@aol.com
