I just read my query of an earlier date on your page and I find that I made a mistake on the spelling of one of my surnames. The husband of Sarah WATSON should be William MOXLEY not Mosely. I am particularlly interested in finding the name of my ggrandmothers father, who was a Johnson. In 1860 she is on the Hickman Co. census with her mother, Ann JOHNSON and brothersWilliam and Marcus. Also there is a Judith Rambo age 62, that I believe to be the mother of AnnJOHNSON. It would seem that Ann's husband is dead, but I have found no documentation of this. Josephine JOHNSN married Nathaniel MOXLEY in Hickman, Fulton Co. in 1872. They had at least three children while liveing there: Edward, Judia, and Mary Lela (my grandmother). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Kathleen Pruitt

Jane W. Clark Rt. 1, Box 309 Quincy, Fl 32351 I am looking for information on the Charles H. KIRKLAND family. Charles and wife Emma (maiden name unknown) are shown in the 1880 census of Anderson Co. in Camdenville. Both were shown as born in Kentucky, but I do not know where. Listed with them is a son Thomas H. KIRKLAND, I know that the H. stands for Hudson. Family members "think" that the family was from Mayfield, Graves Co., Ky., but I have been unable to connect them there. Charles and family moved to Florida and show up there in 1900 census. Any information or possible leads would be appreciated.

My mom and dad were married in Mayfield, Ky., on 5/16/47. Their names are Steve Jurak, Sr., and Mary B. Woods. and I was wondering if there was a newspaper in town that would have run the names of people taking out marriage licenses or those married. I am looking for a copy of the page of the paper if their names are on it. We are having a 50th wedding anniversary party for them and I thought they would enjoy seeing their name and maybe a little of the news that was happening that day. Thanks for any help you can give me.
