Is anyone researching DUNN family in Harrison and Scott Counties? I have
some connected information on Jack DUNN and his wife Maggie DUNGAN and their
children. Jack had a brother named Kelly (b 1882/d1964) who married Sudie
Smith (b 1885/d 1979). Kelly and Sudie are buried at Raven Creek Cemetery
in Harrison Co. Also have lots of unconnected information on various DUNNs
buried in and around Harrison and Scott Counties. Would be glad to share
what I have.

I am trying to research Dunn's in Harrison county, but I don't have much
to go on except that Andrew Jackson Dunn and his wife Lucy Catherine Morris
had three children that ended up in Cynthiana. I think Andrew and Lucy each
died around 1900 or so. Their children were Cecil Dunn who married Edyth
Courtney and I know for sure they raised their family in Cynthiana, KY. Whether
his parents were originally from that town, I don't know. Cecil's older sister
was Nanny and older brother was Sydney. Any help or direction would be
appreciated!

I am looking for a William Rankin father of Augustus, Andrew, Martha, Isaac
Newton, Sarah and William who moved to Illinois around 1836. These children
were born in Cynthiana from 1810 to 1835. When I read David Rankin's Will
and he had a son William and Isaac Rankin was a witness, I feel I am close
to a match. I do not think that William Rankin, the son of David is my man,
however, William son of David may have had a son William. Any Help?.

Friday, February 19, 1999 I have posted my research of Nathan Rawlings on
the internet at:
http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/w/i/e/Ed-Wiessing/index.html Nathan
settled in what later became Harrison/Pendleton Counties, KY about 1787.
Read my stuff and you will see how involved he was in local affairs from
then until just after 1800. Nathan died in Lawrence County, IL and his
descendants sprouted out from there. Please take a look and tell me if I
need additions or corrections. Thanks

The COOK families that appeared in the 1850 Owen Co, Ky census had relocated
there from Harrison Co, Ky in the late 1840,s, as verified by Harrison and
Owen Co's Tax Records. The families were those of Aaron and Hannah Cook,
Joseph and Ruth Cook, William and Cynthia Cook and Shelton and his new bride
Mary Layton Cook; Shelton the apparent son of William and Cynthia. These
families were obviously linked by close ancestral bonds, as indicated by
Harrison Co deed records and property grouping on Mill Creek. There were
2 other Cook families in Owen Co in the 1850 census, those of Norbonne and
Judith Markham Cook, Sr, and Norbonne L. and Amanda Cook, Jr. These two families
did not appear on the Harrison Co tax List thru 1850; which, on the basis
of other records, suggests their pre-Owen Co roots were in Berkeley, Chesterfield
Co's, Va. It appears they are extended family to the families of Aaron, Joseph,
William and Shelton Cook. As this research continues, it is expected to uncover
family links either in Va or Pa. Several clues as to the pre-Harrison Co
ancestral presence of the 1850 Owen Co Cook families are provoded by an
inspection of the Harrison Co Tax Lists and Deeds from 1794-1850. The very
distinctive name of Coleman Cook appears on the 1811 - 1818 Harrison Co Tax
List, and then again in 1846, 1847. A Bennet Cook of York Co, Va had sons
Thomas, 12/23/1767; Coleman, 3/3/1773; and Bennet, 10/27/1775. In conjunction
with these records, the Scott Co , Ky Tax List shows a Coleman Cook in 1797
and two Coleman Cook's in 1799. In Harrison Co Deed Book 6, page 444, 11/11/1819,
a James Coleman is a co-executor for Esther McMillan, acting to sell a tract
of land in Harrison Co unty on Mill Creek to Joseph Cook for $1.00. The sum
of these clues consistently suggest that the 1850 Owen Co Cook families had
their origin in York Co, Va. In interest or knowledge to better define and
complete the ancestries of these Cook and related family ancestries?
