Do you have any dates pertaining to Annie Vanderpool? Perhaps her marriage date or when she died. I might be able to help with a bit more information.

Information on Annie Vanderpool who married Allen Jones

maddygurl6 — 2009-11-19 20:18:47Z

I would like any information I could get a hold of about my Great-grandmother. All I know is she died young possibly after the birth of her last child which was Allen Jones Jr. who is also deceased.

Re: Indentured Owens children - VA

gib51ney — 2008-09-11 23:58:14Z

OK, now the story about the cabin makes sense. Somewhere I have Verna Mae's book and I remember there were many references to the Hindman school. It was certainly an important part of their lives.

I'm not sure what documents I have that would be helpful. I do have death certificates for Milton,Lucinda and Vincent.
Little Granny was my husband's 5th great grandmother.

Re: Indentured Owens children - VA

kowens155 — 2008-09-11 17:52:32Z

Hi; What I am calling to "Vince Owens cabin" is the cabin donated by Verna Mae Slone. I've not seen it 'in situ', only from some wonderful photos recently emailed to me by the photographer, Jeri Henderson. The cabin dates back to early Caney Creek days; I believe it is the one she writes about in "What My Herat Wants to Tell", and I think Vince may have lived in it during his last years. I think it was built by one of her Slone ancestors (possibly one of Little Granny's sons.)
Vince's son, Milton Owens, is my greatgrandfather. Three of Milton's sons are still alive, but we tend to run toward girls in my generation...all that coffee drinking, I guess. Only two out of my six male 1st-cousins are in the male line, but I'm going to see if I can talk one of them into participating. (Maybe if I offer to pay....)

Re: Indentured Owens children - VA

gib51ney — 2008-09-11 03:01:59Z

For whatever reason, there is an error when I try to see my old post so I only have a general idea of what I posted : (

I am pretty familiar with the Owens DNA site. It has created as more mysteries than it solved. But that's part of the charm of family history : ) More males descendants need to be tested to untangle the history!

I have little doubt that the Owens children who were indentured were all related. DNA results indicate they were not siblings. One possibility is male heirs related through maternal Owens lines (cousins?). For instance "double Owens" - two Owens lines marrying as is recorded more than once - and the descendant being tested has a maternal Owens link to this family. Adoption, formal or informal, or a son carrying his mother's maiden name.

From "implied" marriages, mostly land documents, it appears that William Owens did marry a Lea/Lee - Frances (Lea)Whitely at about the time he told the court he was able to again care for his 2 children. They moved to KY and had children - sometimes attributed to Reese. If we rely on the documentation, it appears unlikely that there was a Jenny/Virginia Lea/Lea marriage to Reese. Reese probably was not married to his first wife & she may well have been an Indian woman.

My husband grew up in Knott Co. and we have both visited the settlement school (Hindman) but we are unaware of a cabin known as the Vince Owens cabin. ?

I would gladly share any info that we have collected.

Knott Co., KY public school teachers

kowens155 — 2008-09-10 18:33:07Z

My grandmother (Frances Reynolds) was a school teacher in Knott and Floyd Co.'s before she married my grandfather Elisha H. Owens @1919, and also after she was widowed in 1936. Her sister, Lottie Reynolds (m Talbee McGuire after 1920), was also a teacher in Floyd Co. until she died in 1944 after being killed while trying to catch a train in Prestonsburg. I'm trying to locate school records for teachers hired @1910-1945 in the Knott Co. area. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Re: Indentured Owens children - VA

kowens155 — 2008-09-10 18:03:16Z

hi Chris. I have many of the same questions. Have you seen the "Owens DNA site", where the question of Reese and William is currently being addresed? The web site shows an old photo of the Dickerson Co., VA 'homeplace' with a cabin that is almost identical to the 'Vince owens cabin' at the Hindman school.

Re: ANCO, KY LOCATION

Correction of directions to Anco !!!!!!. Go to Sassafras Kentucky and turn on Yellow Creek road and this will take you to Anco. Sassafras and Vicco are joining towns.

This is the same road that the old Sassafras grade school is located on.

Thank you for writing. looking at your line I think we maybe connected. I started research on ancestry about 3 months ago. I found an old post from Martha Cronwell, November 28, 2001.

I'm not sure about this but I am willing to compare notes with you. My Deckers start with John Decker 1790 either born in Pa. or NY. the states were not really states before this so it is only a guess. I have two sons Elisha and ELias who were born in Ohio and migrated after their marriages to two Cornwell sisters, and several children a piece to Iowa in and aroudn the Sigourney area. I have their children one of which was my ggrandmother from Elisha Decker and Mary Polly Cornwell. I am having a very difficult time fidning anything other than their names and birth years on the brother's children.

JBFRANCIS38 — 2007-06-02 01:03:42Z

I to have been searching for Jordan's grave site. Hopefully, finding Barbara beside him. So far, the best guess is a Cemetery on or near Quillen Chapel Road, Campton, Ky. I have driven along Rt 15 through Campton and that road intersects with RT 15. This road is very near Swift Creek Road. Which matches family tradition that they are buried in Swift Camp Cemetery. Seach has been made of the Cemetery on Quillen Chapel road, but no Jordan or Barbara. There are graves with stones no longer readable. I descend from their daughter Martha. Would like to further discuss this family. jbfrancis6@aol.com

This is the 1880 Letcher Census House Hold # 340/340 Smith, William B age 28, Nancy age 22, Jasper N age 3, Joseph age 1, and Elizabeth Dials age 55. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting that, Connie.

Vinie's death cert says her mother's maiden name was Tilda Delphia!

I was also told that Isaac was married twice. Could be confusion over similar names or because the 1910 census Knott Co. has Isaac, Matilda & a grandson listed - 2nd marriage for Isaac, 1st for Matilda.

1870, if his parents were Caleb & Sally - I found him with them. 1880 next door to Caleb & Sally with wife Matilda and several children, age 6 & younger, including Vinie. 1900 census says they were married 24 yrs.

Re: Ball Branch Cemetery

Isaac Hicks was born in 1846 and had a daughter Vina. You are probably right in your assumption about his wife being between the two graves. His wife's name was Matilda Duff.
