When asked 'Have you any record of your age and if so where is it?' He replied, 'I have none and I only know my name by tradition and the age of the rest of the children and what my mother told me.'

In Reply to: Lewis Green & Esther Kilgore by: Laurie Levy
I too am researching the Howard/Arnett lineage. I have Esther Kilgore married James Gareen Jr. Thier daughter was Elizabeth Green b. 1780, d, 1855 in Breathett, Ky, who married James Howard. He was son of Elizebeth Howard b.1784 Va d.bef. 1860 and Stephen Arnett b. 1782 Russell Va. d. bef.1850 Floyd Co,Ky. Thier son Reuben Arnett b.1808-1818 married Sally Mann 1827 Ky. Thier son Jackson Arnett b. 1836 d. 1872 KY, He married Lurana(Louranny) Howard b.1840 d. 1918 Thier son was Harris Arnett b. 1862 d. 1912 who married LouQueen(Luquena) Shepherd,daughter of Brice(Flitterfoot)Shepherd (civil war vet.) Thier daigjter was Barbara Ann Arnett b.1896 d. 1945 W,Portsmouth, Oh. She is my mother-in-law. She married Grover Cleveland Howard b.1888 d.1964 in Ohio. I know this is long and I hope it helps someone. Barb showard8@bellsouth.net
This woman needs some help - to begin with, Esther Kilgore married Lewis Green NOT James Gareen, Jr. She is also confusing This Elizabeth Howard who married Stephen Arnett with someone else. Since James Howard could not possibly be the son of the above couple. LCL - Mar 27, 2003
Birth: According to her death certificate, Elizabeth was born 1768 - in Harlan Co, KY. This can't be correct.
Death: In reference to Elizabeth Green - a death listing for an Elizabeth Green can be found at KHS on microfilm of Vital Statistics 1852-1861 Breathitt Co, KY. Her death is July 1855 at age of 87, married (means James still living), born Harlan, KY, parents Lewis and Elizabeth Green. Resided and died at Quicksand, Breathitt Co. Means her birth was about 1768. Was Lewis Sr. also in Rev. War? How does David know the pension record dates are wrong for Thomas and James? Have heard this before - but no proof. Their parents are traditionally listed as Thomas and Lettie. Does ANYONE have death record for James Howard, husband of Elizabeth? He and wife are in 1850 census with Greenville Howard but not in 1860.

HOWARD, Nancy, age 45, H543 This Nancy may not be the wife of John. According to other information, Nancy, wife of John was born in 1802. The Nancy in the 1860 census would have been born in 1815. Unless this is another error in the census.

Valerie Brock, 10190 E. St. Rd. 8, Knox, IN 465334 e-mail (kbgrinder@skynet.net) is the gr/dau of Epp Joseph and Susie Bradley. She was checking our Wireman book and found that we had Susie's mother listed as Catherine "Katie" Wireman married to Arzanus Bradley, son of Buck. She writes that she always thought Susie's father was James Bradley and it would appear that she is correct.
The 1900 Knott Co. census has James Bradley b. 1870, wife Katie b. 1873 with children: Liberty Bradley b. 1891, Margaret Bradley b. 1892, Susannah Bradley b. 1893, Preston Bradley b. 1896, and Landen Bradley b. 1896. The 1910 Knott Co. census has Anderson Bradley at age 46 with wife Katie (her 2nd marriage). She was the mother of 12 children and 8 were living. In the household were Selden age 7, George Jr. age 3 and Suel age 7/12. Anderson and Katie had been married 9 years. I don't know James Bradley's parents.
The 1900 Breathitt Co. census lists James Buck Bradley b. 1859. He married in 1880 to Martha Manns b. 1865 (his 2nd wife). He was married first to Malinda Howard. The children were Arzanus Bradley b. 1878, Solomon Bradley b. 1885, Chester Bradley b. 1893, and Charlie Bradley b. 1900.
The above James Buchanon Bradley was the son of James Bradley b. 1812 and Elizabeth Howard b. 1814 and the above James was the son of George Bradley and Elizabeth Briggs.
Perhaps someone can tell us the parents of James Bradley b. 1870. (Information from Todd Preston's column of the November 19, 1998 issue of the SALYERSVILLE INDEPENDENT newspaper.)
