IN MEMORY OF MRS. M. E. HARBIN MARCH 3, 1882
I wish to let my neighbors know
some of my trial and troubles;
My troubles have been very great,
listen awhile and I'll relate.
About the age of twenty-two
I married Mary Engle, true;
a daughter fair of Tennessee
and brought her down to Kentucky.
We lived together fourteen years,
Six children born as it appears.
She died and left me here alone,
T
I don't know those surnames. I tried to find some Jones in a stack of family
group sheets done years ago by Nina Hughes. All I found that might or might
not apply:
James T Payne born 1804 SC, mar Harriett Ridgel born 1808 SC
Mar 16 May 1825 by Blaggrove Hopper. I wrote a story about Blaggrove for the
Knox Co Ky Museum. He was married to Rhoda Kesterson.
Harriet daddy was John Ridge (1850 census insane) and mama was Mary Polly
Stewart.

Thanks to Gerri Sutton for "Jump-starting" my research in Laurel Co.
with her help on some look-ups!
Thru the use of census records and a nifty book I bought from the
Historical Society called " MARRAIGE BOOK AA" I was able to determine
who my G-G grandparents and G-G-G grandparents are .This is of course
with verification by documents,which brings me to my question.
Does anyone know of Church records or other types of early(pre-1850)
records that would be available in Laurel County? Namely Lily or London!

of interest. This was a poem given to one of my relatives while he was
in a Yankee POW Camp during the Civil War. I understand that the
young man died shortly after writing it.
