This may or may not be permanent. Some of the list owners have a current list of subscribers to their lists, but some don't and have no way of letting you know what is going on. I have had a page up for quite some time now with a list of the Ky mail lists that I am aware of and how to sub to them.

It names children Mary C. Fisher, Lucinda Armacost, W. W. DeMoss, R. F. DeMoss, and grandson Charley Hamilton Taylor, "only child of my deceased daughter Susanna E. Taylor." The published cemetery records listed Susanna's names as S. E. T. DeMoss, daughter of Peter and Lucinda DeMoss, and shows that she was the wife of William Hamilton. Most likely the T stands for Taylor and her husband was Wiilliam Hamilton Taylor. Witnesses of the will were H. C. Weaver & H. C. Metcalf. Executors were sons W. W. DeMoss, and R. F. DeMoss. Peter was County Coroner by 1852 in Bracken County, KY. The Bracken County Clerk's office has a number of Coroner Reports documenting deaths that are not included in the records of births and deaths at the State Historical Library at Frankfort. Peter was in charge of at least two inquisitions taken in March 1852. He presided over the birthday reunion of Samuel DeMoss, his nephew, in Campbell County, KY, on 16 Nov 1886. A newspaper article concerning that reunion refers to him as "Peter DeMoss' a venerable relation from Bracken County. Pendleton County, KY I Peter DeMoss of the County of Pendleton and state of KY knowing it is ordained that all men must die: and being advanced in age and of frail body through of sound mind and memory, therefore make , constitute, and appoint, and publish this my last will and Testament, hereby revoking and disannuling any and all forever wills or Testaments heretofore made by me-I will give and bequeath as follows to wit. I give and bequeath unto my beloved son John DeMoss, and in case of his death before the Same become payable, then to his lawful children the sum of fifty dollars to be paid as hereinafter directed. I will and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Mary Grigg, and in case of her death before the same becomes payable, then to her lawful children, the sum of forty dollars, also to be paid as hereinafter directed. I will and bequeath unto my beloved son Charles DeMoss and in case of his death before the same is payable then to his lawful children, I give and bequeath the sum of fifty dollars to be paid as hereinafter directed. Unto my beloved daughter Catherine Herndon, late Catharine Barker, and in case of her death before the same becomes payable, then to her lawful children the sum of sixty dollars to be paid as hereinafter directed. I will and bequeath unto my beloved two grandchildren, the children of deceased son David DeMoss, Leander DeMoss and Mary DeMoss: and in case of the death of either of before the age of 21 years, then to the survivor, the sum of fifty dollars, payable when and as hereinafter directed-and in case both die before they arrive at the age of 21 years, then their legacy is to revert to my heirs jointly and equally, that is my children Share and Share alike. And my children's heirs shall take per Stepres (?), in case of the death of either of my children leaving heirs. And I also give and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Sally Barker and in case of her death before the same becomes payable then to her lawful issue, the sum of twenty-five dollars to be paid when, and as hereinafter directed. I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Lewis DeMoss and in case of his death before the same become payable to his lawful issue, the sum of thirty dollars, to be paid when, and as hereinafter directed.
