Drobot for additions and corrections to this family.
(More from Emily Bell - Received 13 April 2008) I thought I would
let you know of a mistake on David and Dorinda's line.
There is no Caroline between John and
Willis Melvin. There is no Caroline at all as a child of David and
Dorinda. I have their family bible and that name does not appear. All
the other information for them has come from that bible. The bible
lists the first child as Measie. Her marriage license they write her
name as Mazy.
The bible has 4th daughter as Mary
Elizabeth, no Ann. I have never seen that name linked to her. The
marriage index, it is Mary E. Parsons. You use the name Polly as
though it was a given name. It was not, it is a nick-name for Mary.
That she married a Hampton is new to us. Who gave you that
information. We will have to look into it. She and Frank Sturgill had
at least four children. I will get you that information later.
I feel certain that Joseph L. married
on the Nov 30, 1974 date. Joseph and Lucinda had a total of 10
children. I will send you that information later also.
Under Willis Melvin's children you have
a mistake. You don't have our mother listed. Child 10 and 11 are one
and the same persons. Aunt Pat had her name legally changed to
Patricia Elizabeth Parsons and we think it should be listed that way.
She is the 11th child. The 10th child is our mother, Alta Marie
Parsons, b. 30 May 1909.
Martha Emeline Parsons DID not marry.
In the bible when they entered her deat (sic) it is as Martha Emeline
Parsons.
The marriage you have listed is for
Margaret E. Parsons d/o Joseph L. & Lucinda Adams Parsons. I am
looking at the marriage index right now for all the Parsons females
from 1868 - 1939.
Mary Beth and I have almost all of the
census records for these children and some on their children. We have
all of the children listed in the settlement of the land after David
died. David, then Dorinda and then Willis and his children must have
kept all the tax information from the time the land was bought. I
inherited all of the reciepts (sic) from 1848 to 1984 when the land
was sold to the KY Nature Conservancy. Hope this helps and as I said I
will send the information on David and Dorinda's grandchildren later.
That is if you want it. Have a great day, it is gray and rainy here.
Emily
