Janet Walker <[email protected]> Thu, 04 Jan 2001
I'm looking for any information on a Brooks H. Walker, b. 26-Mar-1843 in KY. I've found where he was listed as being from Mercer Co. when he joined the Union Army in 1862 at Somerset,KY. Brooks H. married a Phitney(Fetney)Evans,b.25-Dec-1844. I've found them living in Fentress Co. TN in the 1880 census. They later moved to Grayson Co, TX where he died in 1928. I would like to know who his parents were. Can anyone help? Thanks

John Green'Leah Dunn family
Surnames: DUNN, GREEN#02744
Joni Vella <[email protected]> Tue, 16 Jan 2001
I am looking for information on the family of John Green and Leah Dunn who were married at Harrodsburg, Mercer County, Kentucky on December 28, 1808. Children Samuel 1808, William 1810, Robert 1812, James J. 1814, J. Deek 1816, Phoebe 1818, Harriet 1820, Eliza 1822. All birth years are approximate. James died in Indiana. I am particularly interested in their son Robert. I have reason to suspect John and Leah Green may be the parents of my Robert Robinson Green, born August 10, 1811 in Kentucky. I have tons of information coming forward on my Robert, but nothing regarding his parents or siblings. Any help in confirming or ruling out this particular family would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Did Thomas and Mary (Campbell) Little have a son Alexander that married Rachel Robinson (daughter of William and Ann Robinson)? Did Alexander and Rachel Little have a daughter Elizabeth "Betsy" b.abt. 1806 that married John William Canary b.abt. 1799-1803? I think this family lived in Va., Mercer Co. Ky., and Hendricks Co.
