NAME:Don Ward
I am seeking help on researching the Ward family tree, specifically, the
predecessors of William Henry Harrison WARD, of Carroll or Trimble
County, Ky. His parents were Eber Ward and Nancy Orison Ward. William's
wife was Margaret McQuithy, daughter of Nancy and Caleb McQuithy who
migrated to Vevay, Ind., from Arkansas. Caleb died on the way from
yellow fever. William fought for the North in the Civil War as a member
of the Indiana Calvalry. When he returned from war, he married Margaret
in Vevay on 21 Feb. 1867. I have his descendants but not his
predecessors, except for Eber, his father. View Ward Family Tree

JUST UPDATED! We are looking for family of Louis Samuel LITTLE. Louis was born 29 Oct
1867 in Oldham Co. KY. According to a Jefferson Daily Evening

Landing and Bethlehem IN, across the river from Wesport,KY. Louis was
married 29 May 1885 to Ida Belle Morgan. Louis' family was also from KY.

county reorganizations. According to records, some of the family lived
in Jefferson County
and at least one, Frank Guy LITTLE was born .in Louisville. We believe
his father's name was Samuel LITTLE, who was born in

NAME:Joy Mack
I am looking for the graves of Francis BARNES, Shadrack Barnes, and
Benjamin Barnes. They owned property in the Corn Creek area, so their
graves would probably be in a small family plot on a farm somewhere.
Francis was the father of Shadrack and Benjamin. If there are dates on the
stones they would read like this:
Francis b. abt. 1740 (he was born in Ireland, immigrated to Culpeper
Co.VA, then with his sons moved to Trimble County Kentucky-then I think if
may have been Gallatin Co.
Shadrack b. 6 Feb 1764 d. 31 Dec 1844
Benjamin b. 1 Feb 1766 d. 7 Dec 1833 (the year is in question)
If you know of this family cemetery, or anyother ones that the Trimble
County Historical Society would be interested in, please let me know. Thanks so much!

NAME:Tom Fiske
Samuel PRYOR, IV lived in what is now Trimble County, KY. His family is
also assciated with DUNCAN, FAURE' (FORE, FOREE) and many others. Sam
was born in 1804 and died in 1833. My records show that he was a
sheriff TWICE in Trimble Co., but Trimble wasn'y formed until three
years after he died. How is this possible?
Sam left 5 children. He was 29 when he died and had time to write a
will. It is possible he was shot as a peace officer. Are there any
documents or newspapers of the area from the 1833 period?
Sam's widow, Ann Nancy Marshall Samuell, married a man named Barbour
and had even more children.
If anyone has answers or stories about this early period that would
clarify things I would sure appreciate hearing them.
