My post today is a sad one. I wanted to use photographs from Powell County today. I can’t tell you why I chose Powell, just a random choice. Ritchey and I visited August 19, 2017, taking photographs in three cemeteries – Clay City Eaton Cemetery, Kennon Cemetery and […]
In looking through the gravestones photos taken at Cemetery Hill, I found the one for Elias Davison and his wife, Jane Starling Davison. Elias was born in Pennsylvania March 19, 1778, and died February 19, 1843. In Washington County. I could find no will for Elias. Jane was […]
Ivy Cemetery is misspelled – according to the family buried there it should be Ivie Cemetery. Ritchey and I visited Ivie Cemetery in March of 2019 during our visit to the Jackson Purchase area of Kentucky. If I remember correctly, it was hard to find – but we […]
This particular will is very interesting to me. Francis L. Carrico, 1792-1841, was the son of James T. Carrico, Jr., 1764-1815. Francis married Harriett O’Bryan November 2, 1818, in Washington County, Kentucky. His grandfather was also named James T. Carrico, who lived in Charles County, Maryland, and died […]
Today we first visit Northumberland County, Virginia, the date being February 20, 1653. Ten years earlier, 1643, the land that was to become Northumberland was still the Chickacoan Indian District – there were no settlers who lived in this area at the time. But it didn’t take long […]
It’s been a while since I’ve given you a marriage list, but I came across this one for 1858 in Hart County, Kentucky. 38 total marriages for the year – not a huge amount. In 1860 the census listed slightly over 10,000 individuals living in Hart County. What […]

Wm. Hume on the 31st of August 1831. Frances […]
Samuel R. White and Martha Lewis are my third great-grandparents. They married in Washington County, Kentucky, March 22, 1827, and lived there until shortly after this deed was signed. They moved to Parke County, Indiana, before 1870 where they appeared in the census records. I could find no […]
To say I was delighted to find this deed is an understatement! Moses Linton, Captain John Hancock Linton’s father, gave the use of 330 acres of land in Prince William County, Virginia, to John Graham. Moses did not sell this land but allowed Graham and his family to […]
