Flanagan)" Subject: [KYF] Marriages: 1826-1865, M - (McKean-Murry) - Russell Co Russell Co., KY Marriages, 1826-1865 - McKean-Murry Compilation copyright 1985 Gary L. Flanagan Web version copyright 1998 Gary L. Flanagan I originally compiled this data during 1984-1985 from the original documents in the Russell Co., KY Courthouse. The contents were transcribed onto index cards, which were transcribed into typewritten form in 1985. The Web version consists of files scanned from the typed document. While I am proofreading this material and comparing it to the typed version as I make it available on the Web, it is subject to error at the time of transcription, typing, and scanning. I apologize for any errors in transcription and will correct any if proper documentation is provided (i.e., photocopies of the records); I will also be glad to consider adding pertinent notes. The format is as follows: Groom's name, bride's name. Date. Person performing the marriage. Date of bond, surety. Witnesses. Other information (parentage, notes, etc.) Book-page. For example: Brown, Berryman (Benjamin) G. to Sarah E. Downey. December 20, 1855. Married by Wm. W. Bernard, M.G., at John Downey, Sr.'s. Bond: Dec. 19, 1855, James S. Bernard and Sherrod W. Downey as sureties. Witnesses: Sherrod Downey, Dick Wilson, John Downey, Sr. 2-95,96. The groom in this example is Berryman G. Brown. The bride is Sarah E. Downey. The marriage was on Dec. 20, 1855. The marriage was performed by Wm. W. Bernard at John Downey's. The bond was date Dec. 19, 1855 with James S. Bernard and Sherrod W. Downey as the sureties.

Now, sir, ef thar iz ennything, literary, that i pride miself on it is spelin, and i,ll bet Goebels chance in the contest against six chaws of tobacker that i can beet you on a fair spel. Now what do you have to sa? We hav but little nooze to inform the public ov now We learn with pleasure that our soldier boys went to Franfort settled everything legally and satisfactorily and returned without the loss ov life limb or blood We do believe that one ov our county officials onst said: "We needmor prayin and less fightin". We have good schools frim teachers, splendid lawyers, patriotick politishions, eloquent preachers, and Bible readers. But I tell you confidentially that there iz but durned little prayin dun among all these except what the poor hafpade, over worked preachers do,a nd for them to hav to offer sacrifize fur all these iz more than he can atone for properly I had been thinking ov havin a day ov fastin and prayer appointed but az our impending dangers iz all averted i don't no that it will be done. Now we hav every calss ov peril in Possum Holler except ore the best Christian class, and will gladly make room for a few ov them ef they'll cum. We saw sometime sicne the follwing problem in the Interior Journal viz: Add any six of the follwing figures so as to make 21 1 1 1 3 3 3 5 5 5 7 7 7 9 9 9 The Interior Journal solves it by adding each of the colums which make 25, then he adds the 2 in the tens place to the 5 in the units palce making 7 and then the 3 sevens which makes 21 Now we contend that he viloates his statement of the problem in his solution for undoubtedly we are to take 6 of the 15 figures given and add them and aggregate 21 no more nor less. Now did he dot this? We say no. We think the following is a correct solution viz: 9 plus 7 plus 3 plus 1 plus 9 plus 1 = 21. It is a well established mathematcal principal that no 6 for any other even number of integers of odd numbers anc be added and produce an odd number therefore we take 1,2, 7 and 9 =20 and 9 plus 1=21. In thsi we have legitimately added 6 of thes figures and made 21. Now tell us who is right, if you know and if you don't know just own up like a little man We will defend our solution before any literary tribunal for we have legitimately added 6 and only six of the figures given and made the 21. It can also be done by using the common fraction form instead of the decimal ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 19:53:29 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Seaton, Allen R. - Jefferson Co SEATON, DRAKE, POUND "COUNTIES OF MORGAN, MONROE & BROWN, INDIANA.

I could write you a long letter if I had time, but the mail steamer goes out today and I didn't know it until just now. This is the first chance I have had to write since we left Honolula We arrived here on the 8th. This is an old but beautified city. The Spanish burned it and only a few buildings are left. Our company is located in an old hospital..once a fine building, but nearly gone to rack. We have been transferred to the artillery. I suppose we will stay at this town; the other companies will be stationed in different parts of the island. This Island is 500 miles from manila. There has been but little fighting done here, and don't think we will have any to do. I am in good health..weight 152 pounds..2 pounds more than I ever wieghted. I am taking as good care of my health as I know how. I eat a great deal of fruit..it being so cheap;/ four banannas for a cent, cocoanuts a cent each. The natives wear good clothes and are friendly; but there is a race of people here calle Moers, that go almost naked..wearing only a breach cloth. They are the ugliest people I ever saw. Well, I just returned from a drill with not a dry thread on me. I suppose you are preparing for a Xmas..only ten days from today. I would love to be there to spend it with you; but Xmas will be over and forgotten when you get this letter. I forgot to tell you about my trip from Honolula. We left there on the 6th of November; had a very good time for a week or so, with smooth sea, but finally it changed into a storm. Talk about bad feelings we all felt bad, very few of us had ever been in a storm at sea. We thought the ship was going to sink..you can imagine my feelings. Well, I suppose Harris White is at home by this time. Bob Williams as well. The entire 31st Regiment is in good helath; has never been a death and very little sickness, only two of this company (A) in the hospital. The natives here remind me of little children. They never saw a horse or mule before. They work water buffalos in a cart of a thing with wheels sawed from off a tree. There are a few ponies, but they are very small. Chickens grow wild here, can buy one cooked for 15 cents in their money which is 7 1/2 cents in ours. The women here are small..look like 15 year old girls. Most of the men are small too..all but thier feet, they have an awful foot. Will close now, and don't be uneasy about me should you not hear from me for two or three months. I am looking for a letter from you on every ship that comes in. So good by, Your loving brother, GEORGE PENNINGTON, Co A 31st USVI, Aamboanga, Minanao, Philippine Islands BRODHEAD Mr W.R.
