John Naughton, in the Muhlenberg and Jefferson Co. records of 1850's. His
family migrated to
Kansas, but there was never a record of him journey with them and it
appears he either
died in KY or never left. Dates would be from 1850-1855.

I am trying to get information on my grandfather, John Wesley Lane. He
was born on 23 April 1869 and died on 6 July 1920 in Central City,
Muhlenberg Co., KY. He was the son of Martha Redman and the husband of
Ina Vincent also of Central City. After his death, my mother and her
three sisters were placed in an orphanage in Lexington. I have managed
to obtain a copy of his death certificate which gave his trade or
profession as Boss Driver (?). He was buried at Fairmount(?) Cemetary in
Central City. I would appreciate any information on him or any of his
family. Living in Alabama, it is extremely difficult to gather any
information on my family. My mother is 78 years old now and has never
known anything of her family. I am trying to amass as much information
as possible to present to her.

My direct lineage traces back to Edmond Barry Roark (1855-1909), John
Roark (1830-?), and John Roark (1784- 1860/70)(probable brother of
William). I am interested in hearing from anyone connected to this
line (also includes marriages to Marshall).
My Great Grandmother was Edmonia Berry Ragon. Her brother was editor of
the Greenville paper from notes that I have. Her mother was Willie
Johnson Ragon. I am not sure if there was a re-marriage since she later
dropped the Ragon surname. I also have a letter to her from Buren
Martin ( I believe related to other Martin's in the county) who owned a
Tobbacco shop, refering to her as "Aunt Will"
If you have any information, or can post these requests to your board,
it would be appreciated!

queerest characters on the American scene".
From his own writings, "And as I had been a Projector of a Universal
Machine of all Mill and Cogg Work for 12 years, and went to the West
South of Green River, Muhlenber County, Kentucky, and my Money was all,
that I could not finish the said Machine, I forsook all unto Graff Daniel

ARNOLD in 1803. The 1810 (Ohio Co.) census shows 1 male under 10 and 2
females under 10. Joseph was born about 1806 so he could be the under 10
boy. Joseph appears in the 1840 Muhlenberg (later McClean Co.) census and
is married to Elizabeth SHUTT, the daughter of Abraham SHUTT. Is this a
second marriage for Joseph? The 1850 census show Susan 25, William J. 18,
and James 15. These children are too old to be Elizabeth's. I would
appreciate any help in sorting out this family .
