Update (6/13/98): I am writing this to inform you my query on your page has worked...now it can be removed anytime you like. Thank you, Robert E. Longstreath, Sr.
I'm looking for the forebears of Barbara SECREST b. 1805 in NC who married Rev. Jordan ASHLEY b. 1804 in Wilkes Co NC. Came to KY in about 1841. From eastern KY histories I got this sense of their history: Rev. Jordan ASHLEY came to Kentucky when his and Barbara SECREST's daughter Martha or Mary (they were twins) was a small girl. She
remembered it very well. They lived in tents the first summer on Elkhorn Creek where now is located the town of Jenkins. Then they moved to Carr Creek. To a written query I think to the Letcher Co. Genealogical Society in about 1984, a Jean Collins of Whitesburg, KY responded that: "Elizabeth SECREST (b. June 28, 1784 and m. James ECKLES 1803, d. 1833) must have been a relative of Barbara SECREST, maybe a sister. Barbara's parents were reportedly Christian and Barbara (SIMS) SECREST." [Note: Elizabeth b. 1784, Barbara b. 1805, so perhaps not.] If Barbara was a daughter of Christian, then I think Christian was the Christian SECREST b. 1779 whose siblings were David b. 1787, Peter b. 1776, Joseph b. 1780. Their father would have been William b. 1755 whose father would have been Henry b. 1730. Does anyone know any more about this Barbara SECREST? Is Jean Collins still alive and active?

After Crissy died, Stephen married a twenty year old girl by the name of Mary Jane PATTON, in Floyd Co., KY., in 1887. There was a son named Jonathan "John" SEXTON. I have been told that William married Mary PRATER, if so who were her parents?
