Sharon (Pack) Neill [email protected]
Looking for my father's mother, Daisy Lee FARMER, md James Henry PACK, probably around 1905. They may have been married in Tennessee where it is reported that he was from. Daisy Lee died Oct of 1928 or 1929. She supposedly had family in Harlan County and I believe she died at one of their homes. My father was about 3 years old when she died and his father had passed away from typhoid when he was approximately 4 months old. He was the youngest of 8 children and his paternal aunt raised him in Tennessee. My father's sister-in-law, married to his oldest brother, gave me the information that Daisy Lee died in Kentucky but was buried in Monteagle, TN. Is there someplace that I can write to in Harlan County to confirm her death? I believe the FARMER family may have lived in Harlan County for some time. I know some of the PACK boys lived there and we may have even had another brother who died in a coal mining accident there. He was Jeff or Jeffrey Pack - born in 1914, died in 1939. Any help that you can give me or addresses that you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated. My father is still alive and I would like to be able to provide him with a little of his family history. As his parents died when he was so young, he really has no knowledge of them at all. The children were all split up when his parents died and it took years for all of them to get back together. He has one brother left.

Over the past several years, I have accumulated bits and pieces of information on the DeZARN family. Thus far, all of my information leads back to KY.

Looking for my g-g-grandfather, Henry SANDERS. We don't know much about him, but here is what we do know: md Abigail DYKES in Grundy, Co. TN in 1881. Sometime shortly thereafter, they moved to Ky, we think to Harlan Co. They had a son named Calvin.(I have contacted a direct descendant of his, inits=CG). Among their other children was Louis, which was my g-g grandfather. Around 1896-1900, Henry died and Abigail moved back to Grundy, Co., TN with her kids where she is listed as head of household in the 1900 census. Her youngest child was born in 1896. We think Henry died somewhere between 1895 and 1900. Abigail died in August of 1900, and six weeks later her daughter Emaline (age 9) died of Meningiutius. The kids were raised by Abigail's parents, Calvin and Ellen Dykes. Incidentally, another son of theirs, Kevin "Keener" Sanders, used to visit my grandparents (in Grundy, Co. TN) frequently. He spoke about working in the Black Mtn coal mines near Evarts, Ky. Information queries on any of these people would be appreciated. To date, no one knows anything about Henry Sanders. Maybe if someone has information about Keener, it would help.

Looking for the parents of my gggrandfather Benjamin Franklin CLOUD [b.1826 in Hawkins County] md [1850] to Nancy MIDDLETON [b.1830 Clairborne County]. They may have later moved to Harlan County. My ggrandfather was Alex CLOUD md to Jane BURKHART and my grandfather was William CLOUD md to Drucilla JONES daughter of J. Ransom JONES. Both Alex and William were longtime residents of Harlan County [Evarts and Verda]. Cloud family researchers have told me that Benjamin Franklin Cloud's father may have been Greenberry, Jeremiah or William. There is also speculation that there is a connection with my Cloud line and Stokes County NC.
