Conner (married to Martha Jane Underhill) His father was John G. Conner (married to Sarah Gravet) John G. Conner was born in 1819, Sarah around 1833. They married 11/24/1846, her step-father was Richard McAtee. She was 13 years old. They married in Grant County KY. We are trying to find John G. Conner's ancestry. We have suspicion that he might be the son of John Conner, brother to William Conner of Conner Prarie IN...however, we can't prove it. There were some marriages to Delaware Indians...can't find that information online, and am in Texas, but in any regard, we'd like to know when this branch of the Conner family came to America. We know, from family oral history, that this branch of the family was from Doneraile, IR, and was catholic. If we can find the ancestor, we can get records in IR for that side! The reason for our suspicions is the "family legend" scenario. My sister and I and our aunts and uncles remember stories that the "Conner brothers came to KY via Canada, thru great lakes and into Indiana as fur trappers and traders ...stopping along the way to settle .. then being uprooted...and travelled further with the Hodges (whom they met in their journey) to settle in what became Boone County, KY..at Rabbit Hash on the Ohio River. We are looking for any connection. We know that a John Conner and a Wilson Conner owned property in KY in Fayette county in 1801. Wilson Conner is a family name, my grandfather's only brother (born in 1884) was named Wilson Conner. We have asked a genealogist in KY to get information regarding these people and she doesn't seem to see a connection.

Baker, Sun Aug 25 11:49:52 1996 I am looking for information on my g g grandfather, Dr. Samuel D. Poor. Although he lived in Washington,Co., he practiced medicine in Garrard Co. in Bryantsville. I don't know where he was born or who his parents were. There were other Drs. in Garrard Co. with the same last name. I feel that they may be related, but I have not found the relationship as yet. Dr. Samuel appeared in Garrard Co. about 1850 and remained in the area until 1860. He married Elizabeth Miller of Washington Co. about 1853. She was the daughter of Henry Miller. They lived in Washington Co. near or in Mackville and Willsburg until about 1860. They then moved to Grant Co. near Crittenden. My g g grandfather was then Ciruit Clerk of Courts and then appointed notary by Govenor Blackwell. He had numerous chldren, John Wesley and Hiram, by a slave Ann, Cora, Cassie, Rebecca, Jennie, Jerry and Henry by his wife Elizabeth.

Nutter, Tue Sep 3 13:09:06 1996 My ancestors Thomas Nutter (1760-1835) and Sarah (Bagwell) Nutter (1759-ca. 1850), with their children named Betsy, Leah, Huet (spelled variously), Sally, David and William, and Thomas's older brothers named Hewitt, David and John and their families, migrated from Sussex County, DE, on the Delmarva peninsula, to Fayette and Scott Counties, KY shortly before 1797. They settled in the area of the Georgetown area's "Newtown" settlement. I believe the year would have been 1795 or 1796, years in which both the northern route to Kentucky (along the Braddock - later National - Road or along the Great Pennsylvania Road - formerly the Forbes Road) and the southern route (the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap) had, I am told, been improved for Conestoga wagons. I am trying to determine whether they used the northern route or the southern route by seeing whether any family members may have dropped off this trek at any county along the way. Do you find any evidence of the name Nutter in the records of Mercer County for the time period 1795-1840? It was suggested that I post this message in this way, which is a new experience. Please disregard it if you have seen it on a particular county look-up. I have received many great answers and feel that I am making good progress. The outlook - that they followed the Braddock Road to either Old Fort Pitt, by then abandoned as a fort, or to the site of Wheeling via Fort Redstone on the Monongehela/Cheat River system, then down the Ohio to Limestone, and overland along the Licking River to Newtown. We are discovering their farms and graves noe in the Newtown-Mt. Horeb- New Zion area.
