BAILEY, HART

BAILEY / HART I heard there were lots of BAILEY's in Clay County. My greatgrandmother, Jane BAILEY HART was born in Nashville (French Lick) Davidson Co.,TN 7 Dec. 1874. According to U S Census records her dad was born in Tennesse and her mother in Kentucky. Jane married John HART (from Illinois) at an unknown location in 1861. Their first children, Rosa, William, and Alice were born in Missouri. The family moved to Sedan, Howard / Chautauqua County, Kansas and bought a farm in 1871. Their two youngest children, Sarah (Sadie) and John Jr. were born there. According to my grandmother, the BAILEY's were French. Jane's dad may have been Jon BAILEY. Does anyone have tie to this BAILEY family????

BARGER, BULLOCK

Hello: I am interested in finding out any information on Allen and Nancy BULLOCK BARGER my gr-gr-grandparents. Allen BARGER was born in Tn. ABT of 1801. Nancy was born in Tn. ABT of 1815. I don't know where either Allen and Nancy were born. In 1829, I found a land grant for 100 acres of land in Morgan Co. Tn. issued to Allen BARGER. I now have a deed for this property out of Morgan Co. Tn. for the 100 acres signed by Governor William Carroll of Tn. It is my belief that Allen and Nancy lived in Bledsoe Co. Tn. beforing moving to Ripley Co. Missouri in the 1830's. I am interested in who Allen and Nancy's parents are; were there any siblings? When was Allen BARGER and Nancy BULLOCK married? Any information would be appreciated. Carl Barger, Superintendent of the Warren Public Schools, Warren, AR.

LIKENS, CROSS

I'm seeking information on Perry Lou LIKENS CROSS and any information on the LIKENS and CROSS families. Perry was born in Red Boiling Springs, I think, in 1877. I was informed that she died in Celina c. 1949 but when I sent for a death certificate, Tennessee Vital Statistics said they couldn't find one. Her parents are Samuel C. and Annie J. LIKENS. I think Samuel was born in 1842 and Annie in 1848 in Tennessee. They had children William b. 1868, Sarah E. b. 1870, Andrew J. b. 1872, Rozellah b. 1874, and Ben F. b. 1878. Perry Lou married William Hicks CROSS in Tennessee. William was born in Clay County, 3 January 1881. William's parents were David and Elizabeth (NEWMAN) CROSS. I believe my grandmother, Vergie Lee CROSS, was born to William and Perry in Clay County on 9 September 1911 but they later moved to Kentucky where she married my grandfather, Clarence Franklin REXROAT c. 1930. Thanks for any help!
