Couple Photo From Around 1900

October 22, 2017 Kentucky Kindred Genealogical Research 1 Comment

Isn’t this a lovely couple from the very early 1900’s? They look a bit shy – could this have been their wedding day? No veil or flowers, though. I particularly love the woman’s hairstyle and the gentleman’s mustache. Mr. Charlie and wife is written on back.

This photo was taken by A. H. Houff, in Henderson, North Carolina.

Included on this CD are 856 names, 740 photos. This has been a five year project, taking photos beginning in the fall of 2008 and through 2012. I’ve just recently put the list together. This project is dear to me because my fifth great-grandfather, Captain John Linton, helped build this church. Many of my Linton, Moran and Edwards family members are buried here. Also, many of the early settlers of Washington County were laid to rest here. In a more modern happenstance, my husband’s father was minister of this church in the early 1960’s. Who knew we would share this common piece of history? Included is an alphabetical listing of those buried at Pleasant Grove, including birth and death dates, and sometimes additional information. Just click on the number in the photo column and the photo will pop up.

Included is an alphabetical listing of those buried at Pleasant Grove, including birth and death dates, and sometimes additional information. Within a few weeks I will make this into a CD that includes photos of most of the gravestones.

Thank you for purchasing my book! There are 9,474 names listed. This is an all-inclusive, alphabetical listing of those listed in the Washington County Will Book Index, Books A-W for the years 1792-1902. Included is the description of the entry (Will, Inventory, List of Sales, Administrative Settlement, Allot Dower, Executors Settlement, Division of Estate, Guardian Settlement, Appraisement, List of Slaves, Agreement, etc.), the will book and the page number. Last names beginning with A through Y are included – there were no last names beginning with Q, X or Z. Individual volumes are for those who have only one or two families in Washington County, Kentucky. This work, containing all names, is for those with many family members in the county – like myself who had all my families come through Washington County at one time. You can use the search feature on your Kindle to find a particular name.

This my second set of will book indexes, this time for Clark County, Kentucky. Most of my research, for my family, has been in Washington, Marion, Garrard and Nelson counties. It is always interesting to research in a new county, since there are always new names to discover. There are 3,832 names listed.

St. Charles Catholic Church is located in rural Marion County, Kentucky. Included are 1,262 names on the list. Not everyone buried in the cemetery is on the list - many of those buried after 1950 have not been included, although many are. I have taken 788 photos of gravestones. The amount of photos became overwhelming! They could not be included in this book since it would never load to a Kindle! If you would like a particular photo, or photos, email me at phyrit@roadrunner.com and I will email the photo(s). If you need a huge amount you may wish to purchase the CD that is available through my website www.kentuckykindredgenealogy.com This has been a five year project, beginning in the fall of 2009 and ending May 31, 2014. This is an alphabetical listing of those buried at St. Charles, including birth and death dates, and other information. Not all gravestones have photos since some can no longer be found.

Thank you for purchasing this book. There are two parts to the cemetery of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church – the old part is where the original settlers, the older people, were buried. This part is rather small. The newer part is much larger. Only the older cemetery is included in this book. There is a path up the hill from the new cemetery to the old cemetery, at the top of which is a monument in concrete which includes pieces of broken stones. What a wonderful way to display them – and so much better than throwing them away! This book includes photos of all the stones in the older part of the cemetery, and some from the new, a total of 70 names. Included are photos of the pathway, monument stones, church and historical marker.

Thank you for purchasing this book. Rockbridge Baptist Church Cemetery is located in rural Washington County, Kentucky. There are 535 people buried in this cemetery. The list includes name, birth and death dates, and sometimes additional information. If you have someone buried in this cemetery, or several, send me an email at phyrit@roadrunner.com and I will send you the photo(s) of the gravestones. If you have quite a few ancestors buried here you may wish to purchase the CD of this cemetery that includes photos of all the stones. You may visit my website at www.kentuckykindredgenealogy.com to purchase. Rockbridge Cemetery is not in good shape – many stones are overturned. I feel fortunate to have photographed the cemetery while most were still readable – some were not.
