Children were Alma Clifton born after 1915, and there was a son Oscar/Roscoe born and died Dec 7, 1915. I believe her maiden name is RUDOLPH. She died in 1932.

My brick wall is the Seals family. Barnett SEALS (son of John SEALS of Nelson Co) married Elizabeth CRAVENS. They had many children and I would be happy to submit the wills listing them. However, there was a Barnett SEALS who married a Lucinda MCINTIRE in Boone Cty in 1818. After the marriage, it appears they move to Pickaway Co. OH and are there in 1830. The first Barnett dies a few months after the 2nd Barnett marries. The 2nd Barnett is never mentioned in the 1st Barnett's will or the will of his Grandfather Cravens or the will of his Grandfather SEALS, even though the rest of the 1st Barnett's children are listed. I think that the 2nd Barnett is the son of the 1st Barnett, but can't prove it. If there's anyone out there that can tie this line for me, I would appreciate it.

James Lycurgus Pottinger, my husband's great-great-grandfather was born sometime before 1830. According to the Boone Co. KY census of 1870, he was born in Ireland. I am told he came to America to fight against slavery in the Civil War. He married Elizabeth Lancaster on March 04, 1869 in Boone County. They had twins. One died at age 4, and the other had 14 children. So, a number of descendants come from this line. I cannot find anything more on James Lycurgus Pottinger.

I need help with my "brick wall". We have been on the hunt for the parents of Alexander Records who died in Boone County 02 Sep 1822. He may have had a brother Charles Records, and the family was in the Redstone Area of Western Penn (then Virginia) in the later 1700's coming from Deleware/Maryland area. The two most likley people are Archibald Records and also a Charles Records. It is possible the name may have been Ricords or Rickards or some other varient, but I think they were "Records" by that time. ANY help would be great!!!

His wife name was Sarah E.(B 1850) I believe they had three children:#1) Fred (B 1882) married Mary L.they had a son named Elstner. #2) Pauline (B 1886) married Robert DeJarnette (B 1872) they had a daughter named Pauline (B 1919) #3 Claude (b 1890) no information on spouse or children. They are listed in the 1910 Miracode index and in the 1920 census for Boone county Walton Town. It says William S was a farmer and Fred Wayland was a Tobacco Dealer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
