James C Minor - Liberty, Casey Co, KY?
Does anyone have information about James C. Minor who is in Liberty, Casey County, KY in the 1840 census? What about the folks near him on the page?
He is mixed in with a bunch of my families on the same page of the Liberty, Casey Co, KY census pages 45 and 47 in Ancestrys version:
- John Cooley and Thomas Cooley (I suspect they are related to the next person - Elizabeth (Cooley) Moore)
- Elizabeth Moore (mother of Nancy Jane, George, William and John - maiden name was Cooley)
- James White - would love to know more about him too
- James C MINOR
- - Next Page --
- William White - again, would love more information
- Henry Willis (Son of William Willis and brother of Parthena Willis, who married John Moore... son of Elizabeth (Cooley) Moore)
Nancy Jane Moore (daughter of Elizabeth Cooley Moore) married Eli White, my GGG-Grandfather, and I am trying to figure out how else he fits into this group of folks in Casey, KY.
I'm at a brick wall with Eli White, so I have been investigating his children. One of their kids is Frances White (sometimes listed as Delia Frances White) who married Peter Clavier. They had a son named Charles Franklin Clavier. Charles married a Pearl Ann Mills... Pearls mother is Martha Minor. Martha's father is William Guthrie Minor. William Guthrie Minor is married to a Minerva Moore (ding!). Williams father is James C Minor - and I am back to the same set of folks in Liberty, Casey, KY!!!!
I feel like I am circling around the same families and something really obvious is just waiting to be discovered. I KNOW there is a connection... I'm just not figuring it out.
Again, here is the flow:
Elizabeth Cooley married Henry Moore
- Nancy Jane Moore married Eli White and had...
-- Delia Frances White who married Peter Clavier and had...
--- Charles Franklin Clavier who married Pearl Ann Mills
--- Pearls parents were:
-- Martha MINOR and Thomas Mills
- Marthas parents were William Guthrie MINOR and Minerva Moore
Williams father was James C MINOR... and we are back to Liberty, Casey County, KY!
These folks all seem to have migrated from Kentucky to Illinois on to Kansas and even to California then back to Illinois and beyond.
There is more... but I feel like my brain is melting just explaining that part :)
So, does anyone have ideas about how to connect the rest of the dots?
Thanks!
