 << Previous in Thread   Response >> Response >>
Cary, it seems the number of descendants of Johann Andreas Garr are increasing on the internet. Hopefully one day these descendents will be able to develop a organization website for those researching our famuly heritage. I live in Louisville just six miles from where Samuel Blankenbaker settled in the late 1700's at what would become Jeffersontown, KY later on. The early Fishers where about 15 miles South of Jefferstown in a settlement later to be known as Fisherville. The Garrs settled about five miles East of Jeffersontown in what is now Anchorage, KY. There are still many descendants of these families living around Louisville. Looking forward to working with all descendants interested in these families.

Josiah Casey

Russell D. Casey <plan1@mis.net> Sun, 25 Oct 1998
    Response >>
Does anyone have any information regarding a Josiah Casey or Cayce (about 1780) from Cumberland Co. VA who may have lived or passed through Mercer County, KY.

It is believed that Josiah and his wife Sally Charlton moved to Franklin Co KY by 1810 and later Shelby County KY by 1840. I think he is the father of my ancestor Henry Casey (born about 1807) who lived in nearby Anderson Co. KY. Josiah may have several oher childlen. At least one may be Robert born about 1815.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I keep finding bits and pieces that implies a connection between Josiah and Henry, but not enough to prove.

Rachel STEPHENS marriage(s)
Surnames: FOOLEY, HALE, STEPHENS, TOLLY, TULEY#00827
Pam Sun, 25 Oct 1998
 << Previous in Thread   Response >>
According to "Marriage Bonds and Consents 1786-1810 Mercer County, Kentucky" by Ison and Connover (Ms. Ison is with the Harrodsburg Historical Society), John's Name was spelled at least two additional ways:

Bond dated 1 Oct 1808 Mercer Co., Ky
John Tolly m. Rachel Stephens
Bondsman: Levi Hale

and also, from the Ministers' Returns (same book):
2 Oct 1808 Mercer Co., Ky (by Reev. Thomas Kyle)
John Fooley (a script 'T' looking like a 'F' ???) m. Rachel Stephens
(actual marriage date)

It can only be assumed that if there were no consent found on record, that the bride was of age (meaning at least 21) at the time of her marriage. That would put her birth year at 1787 or before, which may help in matching her to parents, but unfortunately, doesn't tell you who those parents are.

Hope this helps you with other potential avenues to follow ... other possible spellings of Tuley = Tully, Tolley, Tooley.
