Looking for any information on William Torr and Mary Troxell in Scott or Shelby County, Kentucky in the 1790's to the 1810's.  We need to determine if there was a William and Mary Troxel Torr/Tarr in your area. If we can, he can be traced to 1122 on the Torr side and 1453 on the Troxel side.  Some information indicated there was a William Torr, wife Mary Troxel/Troxal, who moved from Virginia to either Shelby or Scott County, Kentucky in the 1790's.  Mary apparently died around 1795.  Children; (1) John Torr, 1774-1822, married Hanna McKinney in 1803 (2) William Torr 1776-1858, married Anna Campbell, September 26, 1797 (3) Charles Torr 1778, married Deborah Pearce 1812 (4) Aala Torr 1780, married Phillip Pearce (5) Rebecca Torr 1784-1858, married Thomas Stevens (6) James Torr 1784-1758, married Sarah Boone, later Nancy Boone. What I am looking for are some suggestions on locating any of these individuals in your county.  All suggestions are welcome.  I am hoping to find ultimately evidence that one or more did indeed live in the county.

Thomas and Sally Miller came from KY to Hendricks County, Indiana sometime before 1849.  They had a son Tilghman in this county at that time, but the census say Thomas and Sally are from Kentucky. Another Miller researcher her has traced his family to Scott County.  Would like to hear from any Miller researcher who might have a Thomas Miller in their line.

Wood like to know the name of Harvey Moore's father.  Said to be Robert Moore, but have no proof.  Harvey Moore and wife, Frances named first child Alexander.  Could this have also been the name of Harvey's grandfather?  An Alexander Moore found in 1800 Scott County census.  Harvey was born, abt. 1826-29 in Kentucky and the family is listed on the 1850 and 1860 Scott County census for Stamping Ground.  It is said that Harvey's mother and his wife's mother had the same maiden name of Jenkins.  Does anyone know of a Jenkins family in the Stamping Ground area.
