1800-1801 Marriage Returns By Rev. Thomas Hill – Pulaski County

September 14, 2018 Kentucky Kindred Genealogical Research 1 Comment

Friday, since it was so hot and humid, instead of a cemetery Ritchey and I chose to visit two courthouses – Casey County in Liberty, and Pulaski County in Somerset. Casey County’s courthouse was old and beautifully built in 1888. Pulaski County boasts a new courthouse built in 1975.

I share a page of marriage returns by Rev.Thomas Hill, dated 1800-1801. I don’t believe these are original records. The handwriting throughout is the same and doesn’t look like it was written in 1800. Perhaps the originals were in such bad shape they decided to write down the information. I’m just happy we have this. Many of the early marriage bonds were lost, some pages looked like they were nibbled by mice – and these were dated in the 1880’s.

Later more information on the two courthouses we visited.

Washington County, Kentucky

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.

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. This is an all-inclusive, alphabetical listing of those listed in the Clark County Will Books Index, Books 1-13 for the years 1793-1853.

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.
