R. Minish Sr., of Gratz, Kentucky who researched the family extensively between 1870 and 1910, exchanging correspondence with the GA and NC branches. His original records are in his old trunk now in possession of John Owen Suter, a grandson, of Campbellsburg, KY. Copies in possession of Wm. H. Minish, of Granger, Indiana, February 2000. "Was born on Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Emigrated to N.Caroliana & thence to Georgia. Descendents reside in Jackson Co., Georgia at or near a place called Harmony Grove." Reference the Decembe 21, 1874 letter from Hardy J. Minish of Jackson County, GA to Wm. R. Minish Sr., and the summary notes written by Wm. R. Sr. From the December 21, 1874 letter of Hardy J. Minish of Jackson County, Georgia, to Wm. R. Minish Sr. of Gratz, Kentucky: "Cousin Wm R Minnish I seat myself monday evening to answer your questins as able as to my grand father I never recollect hearing my father speak any thing about his father I think he died when my father was small in Maryland I think my father had four brothers three older than him & one younger the oldest one was named James I think the other two were named William & John them two went to war & never returned home nor they never heard any thing about then whether they were living or dead grand mother was then a widow in Maryland & father was small at that time & what age he was when he moved to north Carolina I dont recollect hearing him say nor whether his mother ever moved to NC or not I dont know Uncle James & father both married & settled in north Carolina they both owned land in Surry County my father moved from there in 1806 Uncle James (undecipherable) remained there as long as he lived" A footnote on the bottom of page 2 states "This has been picked up and wrote by Jane Minish (HIS WIFE) at the the advanced age of 78 years therefore I hope you will look over all that may be amiss" This indicates she wrote the letter for Hardy J. Minish. Original of this letter in the possession of John Owen Suter, Campbellsburg, KY, grandson of Wm. R. Sr. See notes under Richard R. Minish for source of children's birth dates.
