I am looking for any information I can find on CYNTHIA BARNETT
3rd wife of William McPHERSON he was born august 10, 1789 died september 1,
1862. Cynthia had a child from a previous marriage? named William Porter
SEVERS, whose father was George KINKADE, Any information on George KINCADE
(KINCAID)? also would be appriciated. I believe he was a circuit minister,
and arranged Cynthia's marriage to Severs when he found out she was
pregnant. It is possible that they were married, making her Cynthia Barnett
Kincade Severs. Contact me at 4215 Pine Ave N.E. Bremerton, Washington

I am researching my Muhlenberg County Kentucky lines whom are
descendants of THOMAS H. HOLLAND b 1806- d 1884 and ELIZABETH DUKES b
1812- d 1883. Their son, my gggrandfather, JOSEPH R. HOLLAND b 1851
married ANNIE W. GRADDY November 27, 1873, according to the Muhlenberg
CO marriage book 9, page 159 (would like to have a copy). My biggest
problem with this side of the family is tracing ANNIE W. GRADDY's
lineage. Rumour has it that she was American Indian but I have been
unable to determine this for certain. I would be willing to share
information on my 1000+ family line which includes the Muhlenberg CO.,
surnames: BLANKENSHIP, DUKES, DORRIS, HUMPHREY, RAGER, MASON, &
WHITEHOUSE, among others. And, by the way, in reading the request
lists, I realized that many researchers are following Muhlenberg roots
that lead into Illinois, like my own do. Is this coincidence, or was
there a reason for this seemingly mass "migration"? Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't a query, but may be interesting to someone working on the HAMM family. In the late 1960's I was in Muhlenburg County with my grandparents. We were visiting an elderly Mr. Hamm and his sister in Paradise. He showed me the Hamm family Bible which had lots of data in it. I copied the births and deaths. The Bible was printed in German script. The next day I saw several of their gravestones in the Hamm Cemetery. Here they are: Matthew Hamm Sept. 26, 1774-Aug. 30, 1843 Mary Hamm July 19, 1776-Aug.10, 1852 Susannah Hamm July 10, 1796-Aug. 24, 1869 Barbara Hamm Aug. 20, 1798- David Hamm Apr. 17, 1800-April 1818 Elizabeth Hamm Sept. 27, 1802- Mary Hamm Aug. 10, 1804- John B. Hamm Sept. 18, 1806-April 1809 Jacob Hamm Jan. 2, 1809-Nov. 2, 1860 Catherine Hamm Dec. 3, 1810-Aug. 3, 1837 Ruth Hamm Dec. 31, 1812-Oct. 15, 1855 Hannah Hamm Nov. 30, 1814-Aug. 23, 1875 Margaret Hamm Aug. 1, 1819- My father helped tear down the Matthew Hamm house in Muhlenburg County. They kept the keystone from the stone fireplace. It is now in possession of Hamm descendants in Tarrant County, Texas. Hope this interests someone. Mike Patterson, Colleyville, Texas.

Martha E. (Ellen) Vaught appears on census with her parents
Thomas Foster Vaught
and Altha Amanda Howerton Vaught (1850 and 1860 census).
For years we presumed Martha was nee Washburn. We 1st found her married to Harrison McGowan in Ind and next my ggg-grandfather also in Ind. However, on a recent 10day genealogy trip to Ind I obtained her death certificate (of 1915) and learn her true surname...as well as get her fathers death certificate ...also from Ind. instead of Ky. guess Thomas Vaught moved between 1860-1890...Thomas Vaught died in 1901.
Martha married a (first name ukn) Washburn someplace, Ky or Ind.! We could not find marriage license in Ind. so after learning she was from Ky maybe she married shortly after 1860 census because she next appears on 1870 census in Gibson Co. In.
We always were under assumption her maiden name was Washburn.
Does anyone have a connection here or is anyone close to Muhlenberg Gen. Society annex that could check info on their next trip up there?
