    Response >>
I am looking for any links to the following families-
Ott Voorhies (aka Voorhis, Voorhees, etc.) married Amanda Lee Lambert (aka Nannie), daughter of John Lambert and Cate Peter. John Lambert was born about 1845, probably in Washington County, Ky. His wife, Cate Peter, was born about 1849 also in Washington County. They married on 2/26/1870 in Washington County, Ky. They had at least one daughter, Amanda Lee Lambert, who was born in Mercer County, KY about 1872. She married 1. Ott (aka Otto) Voorhies on 1/10/1895. Otto's father's name is unknown at this time, but his mom's name was Sallie Voorhies.
Otto and Amanda had at least 6 children, including Ellis, Johnny, Walter, Pearl, Hazel, and Ollie, all whom were born in Washington County, Ky.
Ollie Voorhies was born 12/18/1902 in Washington County, Ky, and was married to James William Lowry in June 1916 in Springfield, Washington County, Ky. Ollie died on July 28, 1919 in Harrodsburg, Mercer, Ky and was buried on July 29, 1919 in Battle Cemetery in Washington County, KY.
Pearl Voorhies was born April 21, 1908 in Washington Co., KY. She married an _______ Ward and had 8 children, including Earl, Vernon, Scott, Otto, Albert, Joyce, Bonnie and Franklin. Pearl had her youngest son in 1940 in Lexinton, KY. Story has it that Mr. Ward deserted family soon after 1940 and left pearl to raise all kids by herself. She moved to Indiana and worked as a cook and housekeeper in Valparasio. She died on 6/26/1998 and is buried in Valparasio.
Hazel married a Gabbert and lived in IN.
Amanda Lee Lambert also married a Joe Sallee after Otto Voorhies died(?)
Otto Voorhies was married first to Matilda Bunch on Feb. 2, 1882 in Washington Co., KY.
Any help on these familes would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thomas and William Mahan
Surnames: MAHAN#02224
Sharon Bryant <sharonbryant@worldnet.att.net> Fri, 16 Jun 2000
I'm looking for information on the Mahans--Thomas and William, sons of Patrick and Isabella Mahan, survivors of the Martin's Station attacks in 1780.

William and Thomas were both returned to Kentucky in 1782. William is said to have died about a year after returning to Kentucky at Wilson's Station in Mercer County (Interview with his sister, Mrs. Wilson of Woodford Co. KY in 1841) and Thomas is said to have lived in the same place as William.

A comment was made regarding a journal that William had kept and which Mrs. Wilson suspected might have ended up in the hands of Thomas. She also stated that in 1841 Thomas' widow and family were living in Missouri.

Does anyone have any information regarding the Mahan families?

Thanks,

Sharon Bryant

They migrated to Wickes, Polk Co. Arkansas where Walter C. and Elizabeth with two of their children are buried in the Daniel's Cementery. Walter C. Stone,2 is my brick wall. My cousin and I can not seem to get around Walter C. Stone,2. It seems that he appears all the sudden out of no where and starts a family.

Fairfax county, Va. Don't know where he ended up
but saw there might have been one in Mercer county,
Ky. As my greatgrandmother was born in NY in the
1860's, I'm not sure its the same. She had an uncle
named Curtis who must have been brother or cousin
to Louis. Like to hear if someone has info.

No mention of a father. Additional children, William, Mary and Anna are shown as part of the family, all having been born in Missouri. Anna and James Edward are buried in the Noel family cemetery in Benton County Missouri. There is an old headstone in the cemetery merely maked with the initials F.A.N. Any help would be appreciated.
