3. [LONGHUNTERS] Powell-Young family [1]
I bought a book compiled by this family. In it are the Youngs of Harlan-Perry Co. KY. Jane Young, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Dove Sarjant/Sergent NC are the progenitors of that time in the Young/Sergent family. It cost $65 and is worth it since it gives the descendency of those related to me. Dad had Jane Sergent's blue eyes which seemed to look right through you when they were considering a matter. His turned to April skies blue when he was happy. My early beaus remarked about his eyes and were ve
4. [LONGHUNTERS] -Another Question [1]
I agree with Virginia that protein contributed to the increase in body size - it seems pretty well documented as a factor, and seems to begin within the first generation. Physical work also increases bulk, so many may have seemed larger than they actually were. The aura of capability also increases stature, so that "big men" can be taken in a literary sense as well. I think that in the late 1700s, there were a few families of tall people as well, but that the "common size" was still about 5'8" - 5'

Do I understand this to mean that there's a web site from KY that has the Rev War records? If so, what's the site address? If not, sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks. Nora
6. Re: [LONGHUNTERS] Rev. War Record [1]
I recently asked the list where I might locate the military record for someone who served in the VA military in Kentucky County before that area became KY. I got the information about his service, and the Grant # from a copy of a DAR application worksheet. Those who sent suggestions about where to look for the record might be interested to know I found a photocopy in an accessible database in Frankfort KY. The records may be accessed either by name or grant #. Now I wonder if my long ago cousin s

Hi! I'm still here, too. My guess is we've all been swept up by the many other roles we all play besides family genealogist, but our ties with the descendants of fellow longhunters remain. I look forward to more of our far-ranging exchanges -- and wish everyone a joyful Thanksgiving. Sandy

Kentucky was part of VA until (I think) 1789. that is close anyway. West VA was part of VA until the Civil War.

Kentucky officially became a state in 1792 although they had tried to separate from VA several years before that time.

Julia, Are you in the line of James Wood of Nelson Co. VA ca 1800? His daughter Lucinda Jane is my ggrandmother born 1839 Nelson Co., died 1931 Clay Co. WV.

14. [LONGHUNTERS] Thanks and a New Question [1]
Hello List, I want to thank all who replied to my question about "punk wood" and mushrooms. Very helpful answers. I never cease to be amazed at the depth of knowledge, in aggregate, possessed by this list. So, Thanksgiving having past, and this list as silent as a snowbound night, I have another question, if you please. In a recent discussion I had (a "real" one. Verbal and face-to-face) the description of the "Over the Mountain Men" who fought at King's Mountain came up. The narrator (in th

20. Re: [LONGHUNTERS] Longhunter [1]
Sheila, In response to your query. Michael Auxier/Axer/Oxier/Oxer and his sons, George, Samuel, Simon, Michael and Abraham. Michael was killed in VA. His sons went into KY with Skaggs and Harmon to the Blockhouse Bottom in what is now Johnson County, KY. Samuel Auxier married Sarah Brown. Later generations have married into the Conley, Boling, and Sparks families. Judith At 07:33 AM 11/23/2000 -0800, you wrote: >Judith, >I had many relatives in the Indian Wars in VA.

21. Re: [LONGHUNTERS] -Another Question [1]
In Clay County WV ca 1860, a group of townsmen were at least 6'4". Heredity I'd say-Scots-Irish mixed with Nordic. We have several descendants that size now so genes do have a lot to do with size. Genes, diet, occupation, avocation all play into it. Explain the Watusi height, please. Tall, rangy, dignified in bearing and enduring the African diet and climate. Must be genes. I look forward to these discussions. It's a wonderful break in the affairs at hand.

23. Re: [LONGHUNTERS] Thanks and a New Question [1]
Phil, I have another theory other than diet about the men being taller on one side of the mountain than the other. When the country in Kentucky was settled (and this is all I can speak about from learning about my own family) the people from just one area migrated to another area. Evidently, the group that moved from North Carolina to what is now Alvaton, Warren Co. KY knew each other before they came with Daniel Boone and members of his family in 1789. Perhaps they were Scot-Irish and Cherokee mixed, and
