William Godfrey
Surnames: GODFREY					#01017
Robert C. Newman <rcnewman@erols.com>			Fri, 01 Jan 1999
<< Previous in Thread
The William Godfrey whom you are looking for who moved from VA to Mercer Co, KY may be related to the Godfreys of Prince William Co, VA. My gg-grandfather Charles Godfrey had a brother William born c1803 (1850 census, Pr Wm Co) in VA, but he did not migrate to KY. He apparently had a son William (b c1832) and a nephew William (b c1830), and there is another unidentified William (b c1826) in this 1850 census. The Godfreys tended to use traditional names, but I haven't yet got them all organized.

<< Previous in Thread
Visit the link below to see the Locator pages. It's a "frames" page .... when it comes up, select 'T' then scroll down til you see the THRELKELD-ARMSTRONG cemetery listing. In the far right column is the citation of where the information came from (i.e. the cemetery listing book) Click on the link and the bottom frame will show information on the book and volume where the listings can be found (in this case, the code is CSC-92, meaning page 92 of the book "Cemeteries of Shelby County"). If you write to the Shelby County Genealogical Society, you can request information from the specific book. Hope this helps.

Green & Green
Surnames: COOK, GREEN, WAGAMAN					#01036
Anne Baker <abaker@searnet.com>			Tue, 05 Jan 1999
<< Previous in Thread			Response >>
The marriage bond on file has the bondsman as David Wagaman & consent for the bride: Hanson Green. Attest the consent was David Wagaman & Strawther Cook. The 1850 census of Mercer does not have either a Joseph Green or Mary Ann "Polly" Green in any household that could even remotely fit this couple. Nor does the 1860 census of Mercer have any of these folks. To add to the mix by 1860 there were Greens living in Mercer Co who were born Ky, Tenn & Scotland. David Wagaman, or any Wagaman does not appear in census records or on any other marriage record. I could not find the name Hanson Green on any other marriage record or census record.

The 1870 census of Mercer Co. & Woodford Co. does not list any family Shackleford households. In Mercer were only two young single men in 1870. There were no Shacklefords in Woodford Co. in 1870. Your Clementine was born in the middle of the Civil War - a very volatile time period

My grandmother's family lived in Mercer County, Ky for a while before moving on to Clay Co., Illinois. Thomas D. and Mary Boles Robards were her great grandparents. Her grandparents were Jesse D. Robards (Roberts) and Sarah C. French. I know nothing back before the Sarah French. Jesse had to change his name to Roberts to get his Civil War pension in Clay Co. I believe, Thomas's father was another Jesse Robards. Thanks for any help. Darlene Nix dnix@fgi.net

Josiah UTLEY
Surnames: UTLEY					#01047
Linda Hayes <linhayes@interl.net>			Tue, 05 Jan 1999
I believe my 3Great Grandfather, Josiah UTLEY is buried on his farm. His farm of 214 A is bordered on the East by Cane Run and on the North by Spring Branch. A deposition of John Hardwick dated June 14, 1860 states that he walled in the graveyard on the farm of Mrs. Utley. The graveyard was located 100 yards from the house. Can someone tell me where the farm is located? I have never been able to locate the final resting place of Josiah. Thanks.
