(Taken from the answer to a query)
"The records for marriages go back to 1811 when Bath became a county.
Before 1811, it would have been Montgomery County. Birth records go back to
1911 and cenus record to 1820/ Before 1850, it does not list individuals in
the census.
The costs of records vary dependign upon where I get them. Some are
available at the courthouse, but census records I have to get at the
library.
Marriage records are $0.15, lookup fee is $1.00
Cenus records 0.25, lookup fee 3.00 per census year, not per
family."

John Lodmer s/o William and Frances "Fanny" (Ramsey) McGHEE, is my gg-
grandfather...William McGHEE is s/o Nelson and Martha (Cooper) McGHEE.
His mother, Fanny Ramsey and my paternal g-grandfather Thomas Allen Ramsey
were 1st cousins. Thus both my paternal grandparents were cousins.
Yes, I have a lot of McGhee info. What I don't have, I can find pretty easily.
Inquiries welcome....

Hi folks,
It's been a while since I've contributed, so I thought I'd better share
some stuff that came to my attention in the last couple of weeks. I've been
monitoring the Shelby County, Kentucky genweb newsgroup, and have had a
conversation concerning the Shepherds, Carriss's, and Burnetts, and how they
intermarried. Some good info has been provided by several participants, and
I thought it would be good to send it on to you guys, so you can add it to
the files. Read on and enjoy...
Linda--
I have a Henry S. Carriss, born 1795, died 1861. He was married to three
different women that I have records of, none of which was Nancy Ritchey, but
my info may be incomplete. I show his three wives as Katherine ?, Elizabeth
Tinsley, and Roda M. Brown. He ties into my family because Roda Brown was
the widow of James Morrison Burnett, and I am descended from the Burnetts.
I show that he had the following children:
With Katherine ?
Jane Carriss
Sallie Carriss
Simon Carriss, born abt. 1824
With Roda M. Brown
Margaret Louisa Carriss, born abt. 1835
Sarah M. Carriss, born abt. 1840
Martha Carriss, born abt. 1842
Henry C. Carriss, born abt. 1844
Isabel Carriss, born abt. 1844
Maria Carriss, born abt. 1846
John Carriss, born abt. 1845
William Carriss, born abt. 1846
James Carriss, born abt. 1848
My notes also show the following: Henry S. Carriss's first wife is
unknown. (Maybe Nancy Ritchey rather than Katherine ?) His second wife was
Rhoda M. Brown Burnett, widow of James Morrison Burnett. He and his first
wife had four children, one of whom has been identified. He had three or
four children with Rhoda Brown Burnett Carriss. Henry and Rhoda are shown
with at least seven children, and in the 1850 Census, there were 11 people
in the household, some probably grandchildren.
I would like to correspond with you about this, and will most certainly
trade info.

Hi Mary,
In reference to your query of 24 February:
In the books MARTINSVILLE AND HENRY COUNTY HISTORIC VIEWS and THE WAY IT
WAS, I see a reference to a Classical Female Seminary in 1897, long
after your 1794 petition. This seminary was operated from 1897 to 1912
by the Misses Annette and Hasseltine Fuller in their home on Moss Street
in Martinsville. Tuition ranged from $2 to $4, depending on the
course. Boarding students paid $10 a month.
A Martinsville Military Academy was also chartered in 1897 and operated
by Colonel Robert Morgan with the assistance of Rev. Charles Myers. It
was in existence only 3 years.
Ruffner Institute, established in 1877, was the first graded elementary
and secondary public school.

My name is Travis Burnett and I am currently attending Baker University,
which is located in eastern Kansas. I have decided that it was time for
me to trace back a little family history for myself, and thought that
this would be a good place to start. Below I will try to chart neatly
what little I know of my family past.
To make it a little easier on myself I am going to start at myself to as
far back as I currently know---which isn't far, sadly enough.
I, Travis Jack Burnett, was born February 12, 1980 to Travis Norman
Burnett, II and Teresa Ann Garrett. I am their only child together.
My father, Travis Norman Burnett, II, was born to Travis Norman Burnett
and Frances Carlene Grace on October 17, 1956.
My grandfather, Travis Norman Burnett, was born to John Percival Burnett
and Mamie Bernice Taylor on date unknown, 1933.
My great-grandfather, John Percival Burnett, was born to John Courtlan
(sp?) Burnett and Mattie [middle?] Travis on date unknown, 1906.
To my knowledge it was my great-grandfathers dad, John Courtlan (sp?)
Burnett and what family he had then, were the first Burnett's of mine to
migrate to America. I am right now awaiting information from my
great-grandfather, John Percival Burnett, on whether this is correct or
not, however.
I am also under the impression that they first settled in South Carolina
before traveling west and settling in either Montana or Wyoming for a
while, before finally settling down for good in the Fresno, California
area somewhere between 1915 and 1920. One other fact which would be
helpful is that in my Burnett heritage line there were no women born for
eleven generations! I found this to be very interesting. No women were
born until my great-grandfather's generation when three of his four
brothers, named Harvey, Bill, Travis (died at age 9), John (?), birthed
only women.
This is everything that I know about my Burnett heritage. Should there
be anyone that has any useful information to me, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thank You,
Travis Jack Burnett
