Dear Listers:

Some Germanna Colony descendants are interested in Wilhoits (aka Wilhite,
etc.)

The following is an excerpt from Bettie Cummings Cook C.G., Lincoln County
Kentucky Records, Vol. III [Evansville, IN, Cook Publications], which is in
the Family History Library at Salt Lake City and probably also at the KY Hist
Soc in Frankfort. It is probably at other large genealogical libraries in
the US.

This particular volume of Cook's abstracts/transcriptions deals with Lincoln
Co. KY Court Order Book 4, 1791-1794 and is both the county Court Order Book
and the Court of Quarter Sessions Book. Order Book 5, 1794-1801, and Order
Book 6, 1801-1808 are the County Court Order Books.

Since the following record is dated 9 Aug 1802, it is presumed to have been
entered in COB 6, 1801-1808. (I did not photocopy the preceding page.)

Suggestion: If your Virginians are missing from Virginia, perhaps they went
to Kentucky. The Cooks's [Michael L. Cook, now deceased, and Bettie Cummings
Cook] books of early Kentucky court records are invaluable for finding early
Kentucky settlers, which included many North Carolinians. Look for them in
your favorite genealogical library.

Page 277 of cited source:

p. 38 [9 Aug 1802] Sundry persons appeared and objected to the opening of
the road from the Mercer County line near the widow Wilhoit's, to Stanford.
After arguments, the report to establish the road was quashed.


Note: Other Germanna Colony descendants and some of their in-laws and
collaterals are found in Mercer Co., and, across the Dick's River, in Garrard
Co. They are members of the Kemper family and of the Holtzclaw family.
Perhaps others also.
