Adington/Stamper/McGhan - My mother probably would have been able to identify but, unfortunately it didn't come into my hands
(from a distant cousin) until after Mother died. Here is what I know about it: top is my mother Mabel (Adington) Stamper, middle person unknown, bottom is me, Dorothy Lee Stamper. Pretty sure it was taken around Waynesburg, KY, ca 1939-40. Thanks very much for your help. Submitted by Dorothy Stamper McGhan
Frank G. Adkins apparently came to Lincoln Co from Union Co TN. I have this information from the RootsWeb Message boards. I know very little of their story, which is why I'm doing research of my own now. The lovely lady Would be Mary E. Adkins, who's maiden name was Dyehouse, of Lincoln Co. These are my great Grandparents through my grandfather William (Bill) Adkins Sr. Submitted by Kelly Murry

Recently discovered this picture which was taken in Rowland or at least in Lincoln Co. Kentucky. I believe it shows from the left: Marion, William and James Bastain with their mother, Harriet Catherine James Bastain Delaney, her second husband John F. Delaney, his son by Rebecca Jane James Delaney, Reuben Sylvester Delaney and probably some of Harriet's family or in-laws, so either Bastains or James'. I am especially unsure of the identity of the people from the man in the bow tie on to the right. Any help from someone down there or anywhere who knows would be greatly appreciated.

Charles De Pauw, born Ghent, Belgium March 11, 1753, died in Louisiana August 31, 1814. DePauw owned property in Lincoln Co. as early as 1787 and lived in northwest Lincoln Co. (Mercer, Boyle and Casey co. area) until about 1810. He was in the French army at Yorktown and served with Shelby at the Battle of the Thames. Charles DePauw was also living in Lincoln Co. when he was involved in the plot by the Frenchman Genet to overthrow the Spanish in Louisiana. I also have his military record from the French archives, a listing of him as a volunteer in the Kentucky Mounted Volunteers and a photograph of burial site in Salem, Indiana.
