Wish to correct, that I am looking for Mrs. Jack (Addie Mae)DARLAND, and not Daniels as I had thought, who had the Bible information for John or Garret Darland of Mercer Co, Ky. John was born in 1789 in PA or Ky and married Parthena Bartheny. He is listed in the Mercer Co 1860 Mortality census as age 71, died in November of that year. Garret b. 1800 KY married Edna Daniels, July 1821 in Mercer co, Ky. In the Mercer Co census of 1880, Garret is in Dist #132 with daughters, Nancy and Kitty Durland. The children of Garret and Edna were John b. 1823; Lambert b. 1825, Catharine or Kitty born 1827, Elizabeth b. 1829, Thomas b. 1832, Nancy b 1834, David b. 1837. Evidently this family had the Bible of Lambert Dorland/Darland and his wife Martha Fenosdol, Thenosdol/ Vanardsal.

Could someone help me straighten out which John Figg was in the 19th Ky. Infantry? Was it John Figg s/o Robert Figg and Isabella Burton? Or his cousin John Figg s/o Richard Figg and Eliza Jane Stone? I do believe Robert and Richard were brothers, making these two boys named John, first cousins. They were also very close in age, only about a years difference in their ages. Any help appreciated.

Another piece of the puzzle......another ancestor of mine, Mary "Polly" CANNON was a part of this Shaker community....I believe....an old McMurtry genealogy said she was very religious and even joined the Shakers at one time...have you come across anyone named Robert CANNON from the Conewago area? When I was checking York County, PA I found a John CANNONs will which named a Robert CANNON .... Robert was Mary's Father.... From a lookup in will abstracts: York County, Pennsylvania December 1 1769 June 9 1770 Cannon, John. Executor: Thomas Cannon, Newberry Township Wife Elizabeth Cannon Children: Agnes, William , Samuel, Hannnah, Mary, Robert, Elizabeth, Jane and Thomas. Mary "Polly" CANNON married John CHAMPION and their daughter, Ruth CHAMPION, married William McMURTRY. William's Father and Mother were James McMURTRY and Elizabeth LUCAS.....another connection!!! Does any of this make any sense....maybe I should start checking out York County, PA a little more carefully for my CANNON and EBERLY families!!!! If any of these names ring a bell, or if you want an outline on any of these families, let me know...glad to share and appreciate any help or further clues you might be able to give me!! Jan
