LINN, Patrick & wife, Mary. We are looking for information relating to Patrick Linn who is supposed to have come to the colonies around 1770- 1774 from Ireland (b. 1753). In 1776, Patrick joined and fought in the Revolutionary War and was discharged in 1780. Sometime after 1810, Patrick moved to Bath Co., Kentucky and stayed there until approximately 1825 when he moved to Morgan Co., Indiana.

We would like to find any information relating to his years before he came to the colonies, the time frame in between 1780 and 1810 and any information you may have on him while he and his family lived in Bath Co., KY. Patrick MAY have lived in a settlement called Limestone in 1787. Limestone was originally in Bourbon Co., Virginia, but later became Mason Co, Virginia (later this area became part of Kentucky). Thank you. --------------------------------------------------

MYERS reunion; A reunion is being planned for the descendants of Henry Myers, an early settler of Bath County. Henry had five known sons, Lewis, Christopher, Joseph, Samuel and Henry. Christopher and Joseph raised large families in the Bath/Rowan County area. Henry died in 1842, at the home of his son Lewis, in Cross Plains, Ripley County, IN, where he had moved in the 1830's. Any Myers researcher is invited to attend, as recent developments (DNA)indicate a tie to Myers families in Montgomery and Fleming Counties, and likely beyond. ALFREY descendants are closely allied, as many also went to IN; Christopher and Joseph were married to Elizabeth and Rachel ALFREY. Restoration work, and dedication of a monument, at the Lewis Myers Cemetery near Cross Plains, IN is planned to coincide with the reunion. Monument will list those interred at the cemetery, predominantly MYERS and ALFREY. The reunion will be held at the Holton Community Center, Ripley County, Indiana, on July 28th and 29th, 2006. More info, and registration form is available at http://members.aol.com/myersgenealogy/,or by emailing Norman Myers at [email protected], or Bob Myers at [email protected]

Am trying to find out why my G-Grandparents, Ben SUBLETT and Kate ELAM had Bath County, in common. My Great-Grandfather Benjamin Oakley Sublett married Kathryn Elam, in Morgan or Magoffin County. I see Janet Elam has done research in Bath Co. I don't find much that she came up with, tho. I have names and dates, but am looking for details about family history.

Ben O. Sublett was born in Bath Co., as was his father. Here's a bit on his parents:

Virginia Caroline GARDNER was born Aug 25, 1838 in Greenup Co.,KY, and died Oct 31, 1925 in Magoffin Co.,KY. She married David Dudley SUBLETT, esq. He was born March 8, 1833 in Owingsville, Bath, KY, and died Dec 27, 1916 in Bur: Salyersville, KY.

David Dudley Sublett, an atty, was known as "DeeDee" and the little town of Sublett, Magoffin Co, KY was named after him. His father was Daniel Sublett who married Julianna OAKLEY. When she was widowed, she married Daniel PERRY, widower of Nancy DYER. I see Oakley in Bath Co., rather related, I don't know. I would like to know what the attraction was that brought my ancestors to Bath County....and from where....I believe they were in Indiana, even, at some point as well as Illinois. What did they do in Bath Co? The Subletts (Soblets, etc) were of the original French colonization of Mannekintown, VA. Nearly all this family and their spouses were and are involved in legal and/or political professions. I am astounded that these folks of what would be considered high-profiled society, have so little left to inform their descendants of their history and ancestry. Phillip Sublett has a huge website, but he had nothing on my branch, until I sent it to him. Thanks for whatever anyone might be able to tell me about this/these lines....Very much.

Henry HIGGINS or Tomsay (Tomsey) Higgins

Hi I am hunting for my ggg Grandfather Henry Higgins. I know he was born in Kentucky in 1805 and left there with his uncle when he was 6 years old, they went to Indiana.

I found an item on the web of a "Tomsey Higgins", she left a will in 1823 in Bath County. The will listed her children and mentioned that her husband was deceased. Her childrens names match very nicely with the names that my ggg Grandfather named his children.

Henry settled down in Shelby County, Indiana, where he passed away at age 65 in 1869.

If anyone has any information on either of these folks, I would very much appreciate your dropping me a note.
