Hi I have recently recieved a transcription of the Family Record contained in the Bible belonging to Thomas Latimer, b.7 July 1815 in Green Co. KY. I believe he was the son of Jacob Latimer from Mercer Co. and later of MO. I am trying to make this connection. In this record there are dates and names for weddings births and deaths for Latimers (his line down, Campbell, (Thomas' daughter Sallie m. John Campbell, and their daughter who married into the Stone family.Mabel Stone married a McMahan.It mentions Thomas' son William D Latimer who died in 1862, prehaps in the Civil War? If you write me I will send you a transcription and an annotated copy. If anyone can help me link my Thomas to his true parentage, I would be so very grateful. Thank You all. Pamela Latimer Holden

James League 1861
Surnames: LEAGUE					#01809
Robert Portsche <rportsch@ix.netcom.com>			Sat, 20 Nov 1999
<< Previous in Thread			Response >>
Hi: I believe the James League, born 1861, that you are looking for was the son of Alexander League. The following is what I know about him: James Taylor League - Born October 1, 1861 (or 1864) - Birthplace Kentucky This was a son of Alexander League of Harrodsburg (Mercer County), Kentucky. On Thursday, July 30, 1998, while at the National Archives, I examined Alexander League's Civil War Pension file. Information found therein indicates he was born about 1834, and his address at time of enlistment was Post Office: Harrodsburg (Mercer County), Kentucky. Alexander League enlisted into the Company F, 19th Kentucky Infantry, as a Private on November 1, 1861, and was discharged on February 1864 at Decrouses Point, Texas. Information shows that he was originally married to Sally Ann Cofman, who passed away on August 20, 1894, at Shelby City, Kentucky. He remarried on November 30, 1897, to Emma Garfield Salln?, at Nicholsville, Kentucky. The file indicates his occupation was always as a day laborer on a farm. He received a pension of $12 per month. Papers indicate he passed away about June, 1905. Children shown are as follows: James Taylor League - Born October 1, 1861 (or 1864) Samuel Grant League - Born January 12, 1872 Henry Norris League - Born August 14, 1873 George Clinton League - Born April 10, 1875 Richard Phillip League - Born January 1, 1879 The following information concerns a James T. League, which is believed to be associated with this James Taylor League, and has not been substantiated. It was obtained via the Internet concerning a Mrs. Josie League, said to be the daughter of the late Nancy Newton League and James T. League. From that record, if this belongs to this James T. League, the following children were born to James T. League and Nancy Newton League: Lula League Lippert of Versailles, Ellen League Meismer of Louisville, Mary League Florian of Madison, Indiana, Minnie League Wise of Midway Carolyn League McDonald of Lexington James League of Midway, George League of Brunswick, Ohio, Alexander League of Cleveland, Ohio Let me know if this is your line.

Trisler Family Mercer County
Surnames: ALDERSON, LEAGUE, TRISLER					#01817
Robert Portsche <rportsch@ix.netcom.com>			Sun, 21 Nov 1999
<< Previous in Thread			Response >>
I came across the following information about a Trisler family in Mercer County. The reason I was interested is because of the Richard League,age 8, who was living with this family in 1850. Do you have any information on this Richard League????? The Trisler record was also interesting to me because living nearby was an "Alderson" family. A Richard League, married a Susan Alderson in about 1826 in Mercer County. The 1850 Mercer County Census Book, on page 291, listed the following information for the Trisler family, and a Richard League living with that family: Jacob Trisler Age 44, Farmer, Value Real Estate $2,500 Born Kentucky Martha Trisler Age 43, Born Kentucky John Trisler Age 19, Born Kentucky Margaret Trisler Age 15, Born Kentucky Nancy Trisler Age 12, Born Kentucky Elizabeth TrislerAge 11, Born Kentucky Benjamin Trisler Age 8, Born Kentucky Richard League Age 8, Born Kentucky Let me know if this info is of any value to you, and if you know of any Leagues in Mercer County in those years. Thank you. Bob Portsche

Massey/League

<< Previous in Thread
John: I have seen the exchanges of E-Mails between you and Joyce, and now I believe our family is in this line of Leagues and Massies. I went to the Daughters of the American Revolution here in Washington, and re-referenced Mercer County census records for 1850. I saw some very interesting connections. James League, shown to be 24 years of age, working as a blacksmith, is shown living with two League girls (probably his sisters, Mary 17, and Sarah 19.) Also living at the same residence is Jane Massey, age 16. The James League in our line is James G. A. League, born 1826, in Mercer County, Kentucky. He married a Maranda Jane Massey, and they moved to Andrew County, Missouri. He died in 1894. They had several children whom my brother has record of. I noted the marriage record of James League to Maranda Jane Massie, April 22, 1850, in Mercer County, with bondsman Absolom Massie, who stated the bride is 21 years or older. Next, I see that George League married Elizabeth Lyons, August 17, 1847, with Bondsman being Able Lyons. (This is the record that Joyce has been inquiring about.) The 1850 census shows George and Elizabeth League, ages 37 and 23, respectively, living at same residence as Absolom Massey, age 35; his wife Susan Massey, age 45, and probably their daughter Mary, age 5. It sure looks like Maranda Jane Massey was the daughter of Absolom Massey whom you mentioned. Hope that you will respond as I would like learning more about your research, and will provide you with what I know. Bob Portsche

Pamela, I do not have anything directly related to your Thomas. I do note, however that Thomas had a child named William D. My Samuel Latimer, Jr. had a child named William D., probably named for William Dougherty of Mercer. My Samuel married Polly Dougherty, the daughter of James Dougherty, Jr. and Rebecca Cunningham, the daughter of William Cunningham. It may be that William Dougherty was a brother of Polly. I have not tracked that down yet.

Hi Monte, Thanks anyway. My Thomas' son was named William Dizzard Latimer, I don't know if there is any connection at all. This Wm.D. died as a result of illness contracted while serving in as a Pvt. in Co.F.4th KY Vol Inf, CSA in MS Jan 10 1863. His death in Thomas' Bible is recorded in Sept 10, 1862, He most likely did die in 1862 but it was not reported officialy or tallied until Jan 1863. He became sick and was absent from active duty from Sept-Dec of 1862.Thanks goes to Geoff Walden for this information. If You do find my Thomas along the way please post it.I would really like to "lay him to rest". Thanks Much. Pamela
