Thomas BAREFIELD later resided in Grand Chain, Pulaski County, Illinois with his wife Isabelle in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. I would like more information on this family.

Looking for information on Priscilla OUSLEY.  Priscilla was born about 1820 in Kentucky.  She died September 10, 1917 in Kevil, Kentucky.    She was found in the 1870 census with the surname HARKLES.  I would like to know how she became a HARKLES.  Several of Priscilla's children's surname was HENDERSON.  Information is needed regarding the HENDERSON lineage as well.  

Priscilla married George Jackson in Blandville (Henderson Co.), Kentucky in July 1873.  One known son was Robert D. Jackson born about 1873.

Other know children of Priscilla were:

REED

My great-great uncle, Benjamin WASHINGTON was born January 30, 1882 in Pueblo, Colorado. His parents were Rachel REED and Willis WASHINGTON. I am in search of a connection to his maternal grandparents and any living descendants. His mother Rachel REED was born May 26, 1849 in either Clinton County Missouri or Kentucky. She was the daughter of James REED and Harriett MOORE. James and Harriett migrated to Colorado by way of the Trail of Tears. I would very much like to unite with family members, so my 85 year old grandmother can get to know this side of our family. If you can help, please email me.   I would love to hear from anyone with information. You can find more on my families as well as links to other researchers at http://www.debdavis.org/

I am trying to find information on gr-gr-gr grandparents and descendents.  James Reed and Harriet Moore Reed were last heard of on The Trail of Tears near Grand Chain, Illinois (Pulaski County) where they left my gr-gr grandmother Rachel Reed Washington to be cared for by another family.  I found Rachel living in Grand Chain, Pulaski County, Illinois in the household of Wesley and Nancy Webb.

I was told by my gr-aunt that Grandma Rachel’s family lived in Denver, Colorado.  According to the obituary of My great-great uncle, Benjamin WASHINGTON, he was born January 30, 1882 in Pueblo, Colorado.  His parents were Rachel REED and Willis WASHINGTON.  I am in search of a connection to my gr-gr-gr maternal grandparents and any living descendants based upon these clues.  I believe Rachel was possibly visiting her parents when she gave birth to Ben.

Rachel REED was born May 26, 1849 in either Clinton County Missouri or Kentucky.  She was the daughter of James REED and Harriett MOORE.  James and Harriett migrated to Colorado by way of the Trail of Tears.

I would very much like to unite with family members, so my 92 year old grandmother can get to know this side of our family.  If you can help, please email me.

I would love to hear from anyone with information. You can find more on my families as well as links to other researchers at  http://www.debdavis.org/.

 

RUTLEDGE

I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has information on the McCLELLAND/RUTLEDGE family from North Carolina. My gg-grandmother, Sarah E. McCLELLAND (married name) was found in the 1880 Pulaski County Illinois census born 1847 in Tennessee. However both her parents were listed as born in Kentucky. Her husband was Richard McClelland born 1839 in Tennessee. Other conflicting information showed her name may have been SALLIE RUTLEDGE. She was listed as mulatto.

Richard and Sarah's children were James Witt (my gr-grandfather) born 1867 in Illinois, Alice, Lula, Warren and Luther born 1860 in Tennessee, Ella born 1862 in Tennessee, Fanny born 1864 in Tennessee, Josie born1869 in Illinois, Nanny born 1871 in Illinois, Flora born 1874 in Illinois, Mary born 1876 in Illinois, Minnie born 1878 in Illinois.

THOMPSON

Looking for information on Rachel THOMPSON born May 26, 1874 in Missouri or Kentucky. One clue lists Clinton County. Her parents were James REED and Harriet MOORE. I would like to know if she was married to a Thompson and if so who he was. Rachel lived in Grand Chain, Pulaski County, Illinois from 1880 until around the mid 1920's. She had a son Johnnie Thompson born about 1879. He was born in Lord County Kentucky according to his death record.

Rachel died in Madison, Illinois Madison County on July 09, 1929. She was married to Willis WASHINGTON on July 19, 1880. Their children were Cora, Myrtle, Ben, Nolen and Ada. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I
