Subject: CORRESPONDENCE: Notes From Grandaddy Sullivan's Ledger, Graves, Ballard, & Carlisle 
Counties

Recently found in my dad's papers was his dad's Farm Ledger
containing stock, crop & labor prices as well as other family &
local information covering the years 1892-1915. Grandad was
William Howard "BID" Sullivan (1869-1946) who lived & farmed
in Graves, Ballard & Carlile Co, KY. He & Grannie Sullivan
(Emily Jane Fields) raised 8 children - 6 boys & 2 girls. Most of
the children ventured out of the area to make their places in the
world.  Yet, none of them ever lost their love of Kentucky & home.
To their everlasting credit, they also instilled this love into their
children & grandchildren - a living legacy for generations to come.

Grandad & Grannie Sullivan passed away in 1946 when I was
only 2. Having never really known either of them, I feel as though
this Ledger gives just a little glimpse into their everyday lives &
the events that shaped them. I've left words & phrases just as
written over 100 years ago.There are no apologies for spelling or
other grammatical errors. All are noted by (SIC) meaning spelled
or worded as found. Grandad wasn't an educated man in the
sense that it's spoken of today. He didn't have much formal edu-
cation, yet a world of true wisdom seems to have been his.

As we stand on the brink of the new century & the new millennium,
I hope that this little bit of insight into the lives of family who lived
in the last century might act as a bridge connecting us all -- Past,
Present & Future......  Regards,  Martha Smith

Nicholas County KY, Ishmael Chapel Church records:

I will try to get this book on here a wee bit at a time.  The writing is
hard to read and the spelling leaves a LOT to be desired.  We were allowed
to make copies of the book several years ago while I was in KY doing
research, the book was found under the floor boards of the old church.  I
have no idea where the book is today as the lady is now passed on.  I will
not use the  "'s  that are in the book.
