The Priddy name is familiar to those who have lived in Edmonson County, a
Henry Bib Priddy (md. Laura Jane Sanders daughter of Hardin Sanders
(1841-1917) and Mary Frances Constant(1846-1908). Henry Bib was a
blacksmith. I know this isn't the name you were looking for, but the
Priddy's lived on what is today Mammoth Cave National Park. Henry Bib
Priddy owned a farm on the Turn Hole Bend of the Nolin River. There are
many Priddy's in Edmonson County today. Hardin County would be the like

I was at the Schardein Cemetery a couple of years ago to photograph the
tombstone of my Ggrandmother who died about 1916. It was in fairly decent
shape at that time. I found the cemetery listed on a Louisville City map.
Cannot recall the exact location and I can't find my Louisville map but it
was on the west side of town in a very poor section of town and clearly
marked on the map. Seems it was near 31W up near the downtown part. The
entrance was on a very large street with lots of traffic.

The DAR DOES ACCEPT "children born out of wed lock". However one must be
able to prove, by baptism/birth record, court record, land records, wills
etc..that the child was the son/daughter of... This applies to any
ancestor/ancestor line a person is trying to use to join DAR regardless of
manner of birth parents. If you can prove the iligitimate child as the
daughter or son of the father or mother there is no problem.
Please, it is is no "big great deal" to be able to join the DAR. It is f

I believe that Julia Ann Phelps and Woodford Phelps were my gggrandparents,
too. I believe they had a daughter named Nancy M. who was my gggrandmother.
My gggrandmother was called "Maggie" but her name was Nancy Magnolia. I have
not been able to prove that this Nancy M and my Maggie are one in the same but
there are so many seeming connections that I am fairly sure. If you have any
information that would help prove that this Nancy M and Maggie are one in the
same, I would be your new best fr

There are 2 main sources of data at the LDS site--IGI and Ancestral

I tried that phone number for a year and no one answered. I think it is
maintained by Cave Hill or Eastern Cemetery (641 Baxter is the address of
Eastern Cemetery) But Schardein Cemetery is nowhere close to Cave Hill
Cemetery. You might be thinking of Eastern which is close by and a rather
large cemetery.
I found my marked map and Schardein in a very small cemetery located between

In the Owensboro Area near Whitesville, there are families connected to
the SWOPE family that are related to the WILLIAM H. PHILLIPS family.
He was b. Feb 14, 1821 in KY and d. Mar 13, 1905 buried in Habit
Cemetery, near Owensboro. One was a JOHN SWOPE who lived on a farm out
of Whitesville in 1939. I thought that he was a bachelor? at least he
did not have a wife at that time. He did have relatives in Owensboro,
but I do know their names. He died sometime in the 1950's, I think. He
may be buried in th

Butler County was formed in 1810. The records are excellent back to that
time, with the exception of four missing pages from the first marriage book.
However, those missing marriages have been supplied by someone who apparently
copied the pages before they departed the courthouse.
To my knowledge, Muhlenberg County also had good records back to the
formation of that county in 1799.
Butler was formed out of Logan to the south and Ohio to the north. Muhlenberg
was formed out of Logan and Christ
