Past Caldwell County Queries

This file contains the Caldwell County Queries posted between the creation of the Caldwell County page and 1 Feb 1997. All new Queries will be posted under "Present Queries". I have had to split the Query file like this because the sheer number of queries to date has made the file very difficult to manage.

Pamela Baughman [email protected] BARNETT, JAMES.Researching my gggrandmother NANCY VOYLES BARNETT, whose husband WILLIAM BARNETT died sometime after 1860. Nancy then remarried, and her husband (this her third) killed her in plain sight of her children LOUISA, SUE, AND JESSE. Although most of my research has centered in Ohio, Hancock and Daviess Counties, I understand that a MRS. NANCY BARNETT married a SCOTT JAMES October 3, 1861, in Caldwell County. So here are my questions: 1) When did William Barnett die and where is he buried? 2) Is the Nancy Barnett who married in Caldwell County really my Nancy Barnett? If she is, she probably died no later than 1865, but that's purely conjecture. 3) What happened to Scott James? If he was my gggrandmother's murderer, he managed to flee before the posse caught up with him and my ggrandmother feared his return to "get her" the rest of her life. According to the stories, after Nancy was killed, her husband told the children he'd get them if they told, and Louisa, my ggrandmother, blabbed. Louisa then stayed with a neighborhood family, "Aunt Marthy" Black. The other children were farmed out elsewhere. 4) What happened to Sue and Jesse, and their descendants? Please email [email protected]. Thanks! 28 Jan 1997

Bertha Williams: [email protected] WILLIAMS, HUGHES, FREER, MAYES, DUNCAN. I am searching for any information regarding the parents and grandparents of my husband's grandfather, Lewis Alexander WILLIAMS, born March 22, 1846, in Caldwell Co., KY. In the 1850 census his family is listed as: Elizabeth A. WILLIAMS, age 47, born So. Carolina; children (all born in Caldwell Co.), Martha A., 21; Mary H., 17; Manerva J., 14; Permilia, 12; John C., 10; Lewis A., 4. The father's name may be Lewis, also. I was told there were two other brothers, all serving in the Civil War, two for the north and two for the south. And they all lived through it. Elizabeth may have been a FREER as the WILLIAMS and FREER families are related in some way. Elizabeth later married Pulaski J. HUGHES in 1852 in Caldwell Co. In 1860 she was living in Poplar Bluff, MO, with: G.W. WILLIAMS, 27,(a son?); her daughter Permilia and husband John MAYS/MAYES, 27, and three small children; her daughter Jane (Manerva) HUGHES; Alexander FREER, 22, wife Jane and daughter; and housekeeper Eliza MILLS.

Bob Thomas: [email protected]: THOMAS, HAMILTON, FLINT. My great-great-grandfather Samuel THOMAS lived in Caldwell County from about 1802 until 1813. He moved there with his mother, Elizabeth HUBBARD THOMAS who had remarried a man named William HAMILTON before leaving Pendleton Co., S.C. Samuel had four brothers and sisters by his father Irwin THOMAS and five half brothers and sisters by his step-father Mr. HAMILTON. William HAMILTON died in 1811 and Elizabeth married a man by the name of John FLINT. As far as I know there were no children by her union with Mr. FLINT. In 1822 Mr. FLINT died and Elizabeth HUBBARD THOMAS HAMILTON FLINT left Kentucy with her son Lewis HAMILTON to join her son, Samuel THOMAS who had settled in Greene Co. Illinois. I am looking for any information on these folks pertaining to their time in Caldwell Co. Most importantly, the names of as many of the children as might be found. I assume that as many as five or as few as three of the Hamilton children might have been born there.19 June 1996

David Goodaker: [email protected]: HYDE, OLIVER, MCCORMICK, GOODAKER, GOODACRE, AUSENBAUGH, MCGREGOR I'm interested in several different families who may have been Caldwell Co. in the early years of the 1800's. Edward HYDE may have been from TN, but may have lived in Caldwell Co., I'm looking for any information on the HYDE family name. I'm also interested in the surname of OLIVER. A W. A. OLIVER (married to a S.C. OLIVER) may have been from Caldwell Co.. They had four (4) children, one of them was James Marion Ambrose OLIVER (married Mary Jane McCORMICK). It is also possible that they may have been from Lyon Co. I'm also interested in the GOODAKER, GOODACRE, AUSENBAUGH, or McGREGOR surnames from the early days of Caldwell Co. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 27 June 1996

Burt M. Raimer: [email protected]: GREER I am working on the family of James T. Greer, Sr. and his wife Elizabeth who lived on the Dry Fork of Eddy Creek in Christian/Livingston/Caldwell Counties during successive new county formations. The will of James T. Greer, Sr., listed his children in order as Jonathan, William, Isaac, Ruth and James T. Greer, Jr. Son Jonathan Greer d. between 1807/1808 as shown by court records. His widow Mary "Polly" Greer married Wm. Hopson,Sr. of Christian County in 1819. She took her two children Jonathan and Mary Greer to live with her near Hopkinsville. Son William eventually (ca. 1819 or a bit earlier) moved to Marengo Co.,Alabama, with some other Greers from the same neighborhood of W KY and he died there. Ruth Greer married John Pennington about 1817 in Caldwell Co, where they lived on land she inherited from her father. James T. Greer, Sr. died in 1810 in Caldwell Co., and his wife Elizabeth died a few months later the same year, same place. Other Greers in the same counties in Kentucky were Joseph, Josiah (d. 1803 in Lvgston Co), Jesse, possibly Robert, Levy, John Sr. and Jr., Aaron, Thomas, a second Joseph and a second Isaac. Also a James N. Greer. I have been leaning in the direction of thinking that these Greers were out of the area of Spartanburg/Laurens/etc. South Carolina (counties along Enoree or Duncan? Creeks formed from Old Ninety-Six District). There were Greers, Kilgores, Glenns, Birdsongs in that region who served in the Little River Regiment of the SC Militia in the Revolution, and the same groups of surnames appear in the areas of W Kentucky originally mentioned in this (seemingly endless) query. If anyone has a clue if these Greers are the same bunch, please contact me. Happy Greer 6 July 1996

Bobby E. McBee [email protected] LAMB

My grandfather and grandmother on my mother's side were Lamb's.  The
story my mother told is they were 1st cousins.  You can imagine what
that does to my family tree.  Not only that, there are Lamb's that married other McBee's besides my father.  What a confusing situation.

Note:  Larry Bishop Lamb first marrried Martha and then her sister
Minnie.  I assume that Martha had died prior to the second marriage.

Betty Ravenholt: [email protected] STEVENS/STEPHENS FAMILY

I am interested in any information available on the family of Elijah Stevens whose will was proved in Caldwell County on 20 October 1834. According to this will, his children by unknown first wife were Edward, William, Elijah, and Jesse. Children by second wife (Elizabeth, I believe) were Herrington, Ann, Samuel, Zadock, Lucretia, Edmund, and Littleton.

Littleton Stevens, who married Lucretia ?, is my ancestor. Littleton's widow and at least some of his children resided in Graves County at least by the time of the 1850 census. Perhaps, Littleton had lived there also. I do not know when he died.

I will happily share any information that I have with others. 19 Sept 1996
