Posted 01/31/2008  Surnames: Welch/Welsh & Satchwell/Satchwill

I'm searching for a marriage between John Welch born abt 1902 (son of Edward Welch/Welsh and Jane (Nannie) Hill - Owen and Gallatin counties) and Ollie Mae Satchwell/will born abt 1906 (daughter of Frank Satchwell and Myrtle Jane Eckler - married in Carroll county). Would also like to find info about their firstborn son Frank Welch/Welsh born August 1927 in Carroll County (died 1998 in MO). This family moved back and forth between KY, OH and IN so they've been a real bear to track. 1870  Census from Kenton County says there were 3 Welsh children living with a Hennaberry family (from Ireland). Thanks for ANY help you can give, Deborah , debkwk@aol.com

 

Posted 01/23/2008  Surname: Levell

I am looking for information about my great, great, great grandfather, whose name was James Levell. We know from U.S. Census records that he lived in Gallatin County from at least 1830 to 1860. We also know from these records that he was born in Kentucky in 1807. He was married to a woman
whose maiden name was Agnes Cox. We know nothing regarding James' or Agnes' parents. They had at least six children, among them my great, great grandfather Andrew Anderson Levell. Our family's oral history says that James Levell was shot and killed about 1860 in a family argument by
a man named Charles Tandy, brother of Andrew Levell's wife. It is probable that James Levell's death occurred in Gallatin County in 1860. Would like to know if there could possibly be records or newspaper accounts that would provide additional information about his parents.  His oldest son, John J. Levell, died in Gallatin County on April 4, 1870, so we know the family ties to Gallatin County continued beyond his death. Can you offer any suggestions as to how I might try to research his death, i.e. newspaper accounts, police records, etc., or where I might look for burial records? Any help would be appreciated.Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Doug LaVelle, douglavelle@aol.com

Posted 12/16/2007 Surname: Graham

George Washington Graham was born in Ghent, Gallatin Co KY in April 1826 (via 1850-1860 census); he married 15 July 1849 in Carroll Co to Elizabeth P. Lyons; he died 2 Dec 1868 in Carroll Co KY). All five of their children were born in Ghent but after Gallatin-Carroll Co line changed. In Gallatin Co Order Bk 6, p 205, 8 Oct 1832, an "Indenture of Apprenticeship, Washington Graham, orphan [aged 6 as of past April]...bind Washington Graham a poor orphan to MOSES SPICER to learn the trade...of a cooper, he...being aged seven years on the [no entry] day of April next." This "Indenture of Apprenticeship" was recorded in Gallatin Co Deed Bk H, p 199 on 8 Oct 1832, signed by Richard L. Butter and MOSES SPICER. I find no Graham surname in Gallatin Co 1830 census. Does anyone have access to the Gallatin Co TAX LISTS from 1826 through 1832? WHO WERE WASHINGTON GRAHAM'S PARENTS?  What relation, if any, was Moses Spicer to Washington Graham? Thanks, Dorothy Donnell Steers dds25@bellsouth.net and/or oiljail@comcast.net

Does anyone have any information and pictures of the Gallatin County Cannery. The cannery was located behind the old high school in what later in about 53-54 became the music department. It was a modern cannery for the day. It contained a hot pack line where the individual doing the canning placed their green beans in 28 oz cans. The cans then traveled down  the line where they were blanched with steam and the cans sealed. There were 4 pressure cookers each able to hold a about 100 cans. The last person to use the cannery was a lady named Mrs. Harmon in 1951. She canned about 100 cans of tomatoes and a couple hundred cans of green beans. Mrs. Harmon worked in the school cafeteria for many years. Any help would be greatly appreciated, David Webb, edewebb@msn.com
