CRISP
My
ancestors were Confederate and they emigrated from Texas to the American
settlement of Santa Barbara, Brazil, South America, in 1867. Samuel
Smith Crisp was my two-great-grandfather’s brother and I am told that
Samuel was shot and he died fighting in the Civil War, near Cynthiana,
Kentucky, on July 18, 1863 [1862?]. My two-great-grandfather Richard C.
Crisp was also fighting there. Both of them enlisted into the Company F
of the Eighth Confederate Regiment Texas Cavalry, though they also
served in Company B. I have read that there were two battles of
Cynthiana, therefore Samuel may have died on July 18, 1862, not 1863.
Writer is seeking any information about Samuel and Richard Crisp in
Cynthiana, including any records of their service there, or of the
burial site of Samuel Crisp, and information on the Battle of Cynthiana
in July 1862. [Note: the editor is sending information on the Battle of
Cynthiana in 1862 to the writer, but does not have any other
information.]

FISHER

BANFIELD
My
Fisher ancestors are from Berry or Robinson Station, Kentucky. We have
seen the names of Samuel Porter Fisher and his wife Sarah Banfield
Fisher in the charter book of the Robinson Station Christian Church. It
documents when Samuel joined the church and when he and Sarah headed to
Missouri in a covered wagon with their children. We have lost them after
that. Family tradition says Samuel and Sarah died and the children came
to live with Prudence and Josh King in Midway, Kentucky. Their son,
Henry is my great grandfather. Would anyone have any information on
Samuel and Sarah...We do know they were married in Harrison
County.

AYRES
ONG
My
father, Theodore Burton Ayres was born in 1913 in Cincinnati, but grew
up in Cythiana. He was the son of Harley Durham Ayres and Edith Ong. I
visited Cynthiana once or twice in the 1960's, when I was about eight
years old. I remember catching fireflies; something I'd never seen
before in California. I don't remember the street name that they lived on, but I seem to
remember it being very close to a library. I would love any information
about Cynthiana in the early 1900s, or anything about my Ayres family. I
think it was Church Street they
lived on. They lived there in the 1930's and I think they lived in the
same house for many, many years.

I am
looking for information about my family. My great grandmother was

Early Harrison County Tombstone—Mary Hampton, 1747-1804
On
the former W. O. Penn farm, about one mile south of Renaker on the
Renaker-Rutland Pike, was found in the 1960s a tombstone in an old
Barnes family cemetery, marked: “Oc.9, 1804, HEAR LYES MARY HAMPTON AGED
57.” She would have thus been born in 1747. Can anyone identify this
person?

LONG
CONWAY
I am trying to piece together information regarding Rhonda Long. From
what I understand she was the daughter of Mary Conway and John W. Long.
B. 29 Jul 1779. I have found
information stating that she was taken captive along with her parents at
Ruddle’s Station. She must have been about a year old, and that she
would be the grand daughter of John Conway, Sr. and Elizabeth
Bridgewater Conway. I find lots of interesting information regarding
John & Elizabeth Conway, including a list of children, but Mary is not
listed. Is it because she was married at the time of the raid? I would
like to know more about Rhonda and her parents. My decadency: John
Conway-Elizabeth Bridgewater/Mary Conway-John Long/Rhonda Long-Robert

Stephen and Sarah Ruddell could be William’s father? If I can find a

then perhaps I may be connected to Ruddle's Fort.
