I tend to think that you are right about the family.But I look at the wills indicating the various people and everything tends to match.Now I also realize that the people who wrote these genealogies would tend to present their family in the best possible light.Or if the father didn't know - how could W.H.?Certainly, based on the genealogies by W.H. Howard he makes a strong case on the wills and inventories (even through the book is hard to follow).It would not surprise me in the slightest to find out that there were infidelities along the way - and there is absolutely no way to find out unless you can check the bedsheets long since disposed.
In my case, my relations would be through Sarah Piety and Benjamin Cox.Benjamin Cox is related to Cox's station, and was one of the founders with his father Isaac Cox, in Nelson County Kentucky. Looking through my notes, I think I had the father of Benjamin incorrect - it should have been Issac Cox and Susannah Tomlinson.
Is it possible that Nancy Polke (ca 1777), daughter of Edmond, came down the river, or arrived shortly thereafter to Cox's Station?
Are you aware of any documentation (marriage bonds, etc) proving the marriage of Austin Piety to Sarah Polke, or any of the subsequent marriages of their children?
Thanks
