QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, INCORPORATED GLASGOW, KENTUCKY 42141 VOLUME 13 SUMMER, 1985 ISSUE 2 ON THE COVER

Enoch Payne was born March 11, 1822, in Monroe County, Ky., son of Daniel Payne and Martha Frazier. He was first married on September 4, 1844, to Nancy Frazier, supposedly in Monroe Co. Enoch and Nancy were the parents of twelve children, all of whom lived to maturity. They were; Mary Jane (Wilson), John Parker Payne, Harmon B. Payne, Letha E. (Simpson), Martha E. (Jones), Jesse T. Payne, George W. Payne, Joe H. Payne, Annie B. (Hollon), Isophenia Elizabeth (Graves, Null, Carter - who was the grandmother of the contributor of this material), Tipton Payne and Gordon Payne. Enoch and Nancy lived in Monroe Co., Ky. until about 1854, when they moved to Barren County. In March, 1883, they moved to Milan, Sullivan County, Missouri. Nancy died there on August 10, 1899. Enoch Payne married secondly, April 4, 1890, Elizabeth Slaughter, a sister-in-law of his first wife. She was first married to J. M. Frazier. Elizabeth died April 4, 1898. On April 18, 1899, Enoch was married to his third wife, Mary Margaret Tharp, She died September 13, 1902. Enoch then married, August 18, 1903, Mary J. Duvall. -Id., a- probate, court document dated-October 1 8, 1910, it states an amusing reference to Mary J. Payne.... "Secondly, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Mary J. Payne, two hundred dollars in cash the same to be paid out of my estate by my executor hereinafter appointed, and also, all the house hold goods and effects, which I may own at the time of my death. I bequeath this property to my wife agreeable to an antenuptial contract entered into by us on the 15th day of August, 1903, said amount being the balance due on said con tract. I having in the meantime paid her the sum of one hundred dollars which is to be deducted from the said three hundred dollars, which I wish carried out to the letter and my executor is directed to this end," Mary's date of death is not known, but the 1910 census of Milan, Polk Township, Missouri, shows Enoch Payne, age 89, (April 21, 1910) living with the family of William Stark. His obituary states that he died at the home of his son, H. B, Payne on September 21, 1910. The History of Sullivan County, Missouri states that Enoch was a school teacher for a time and then went into farming. It further states that he was a Democrat and a Justice of the Peace. Our cover pictures and the above information were sub mitted by Ms. Cynthia E. Monroe, P.O. Box 94842, Lincoln, NE 68509. Ms. Monroe would like to learn the whereabout of the diary of Enoch Payne, referred to by Loy Payne of Shen- andoah, Iowa, and by the papers of the late John E. Graves. She also states that she has recently received a great deal of information collected over many years by John E. Graves. She would be very interested and willing to share this infor mation in exchange for information of others who are tracing this line, especially information which would document the information she has.

63 BOOK REVIEWS

Our Society is pleased to review books in "TRACES" which are presented to us for our library. We welcome any book of geneal ogical/historical information, and we shall be happy to review it as soon as we can. We have received as gifts for review all of the following listed books, and we are very grateful. We deeply regret that several of these books have been sent to us so long ago that the author surely must have thought we did not mean to review them. Please accept our most sincere apology. Thank you so very much. THE TRABUE FAMILY IN AMERICA 1700-1983 Compiled by Julie Trabue Yates & Charles C. Trabue, IV, M.D. Publisher Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, Md. Copyright 1983. Please direct all correspondence and orders to: Mrs, Douglas J. Yates, 1809 Otter Creek Road, Nashville, Tenn. 37215 Price $30.00 plus $2.00 postage, and sales tax for Tenn. residents. This book contains 536 pages, including an index of over 12,000 names. There is an introduction delineating the sociological structure of times during the Reformation period, when the Hugenot Antoine Trabue, the oldest given progeniture, left southern France for England and Switzerland, and eventually, with other Hugenot re fugees, to a spot fifteen miles up the Jsones River to what is now Rich" mond, Virginia. The naones of Trabue and Trabue have the same pro- nounciation, as the final "c" is silent in the French language, there fore the naone was registered as Trabue in Virginia. Antoine Trabue and his wife Magdalene Verrueil had five children who lived to matur ity, all born in Henrico County, Virginia. It is the belief of the authors of this book that all American Trabues are descendants of An toine, and are members of the same large family. This book contains the names and data, when known, of approximately seven thousand direct descendants of Antoine Trabue, This book is very well arranged, with the genealogical and historical data very interesting to read, and does contain some pictures. TWELVE FAMILIES...AN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE -A Family History of O'DELL- BAER and Related Lines - Copyright 1981 - By Williajn F, O'Dell, 5707 Junonia, Shell Point Village, Fort Myers, Florida 33908 Price $27.50 Please direct all correspondence and orders to the author.

It is very easy to determine that this book was researched and recorded with love, showing great interest and respect for the people in it's pages. It is a narrative type presen tation, inspiring one to read it for interest contained, even though it might not contain one's own family names.

64 JONES-GILLOCK & ALLIED FAMILIES HISTORY, 1674-1984, Compiled and published by Dayton Gillock Justice, 5217 Bonner Dr., Corpus Christi, Texas 78411 Price $55.00 Seldom has one seen such a colossal com pilation of genealogical and historical information gathered for pub lication in only one volume. This is a mimeographed work containing 803 (8%"xll") numbered pages, including approximately 207 pages of family pictures and document reproductions. The book is professionally bound in indian red buckram, is 3^ inches thick and weighs nine pounds- In 1938, while living in Hawaii, inspired by an advertisement in a newspaper which invited the reader to receive the "History of Your Name for $2.00", Mr. Justice parted with his very hard to come by money, and received, which was to him at that time, some very im pressive information on the family name Justice. After a short time he lost interest somewhat in tracing family lines, occasionally try ing to trace his Cherokee Indian blood, if any. In 1953 his niece gave him a picture of a man in indian clothing with two women, and theinformation the women were his mother and grandmother and the man was Reese James Jones,II, his grandfather. This rekindled his in terest in family lines and is still the love of his life. Since that time, he and his wife Vera have spent every minute they could spare from work and home, and have traveled over many states interviewing hundreds of people, invaded countless courthouses, graveyards, and have spent a fortune in expenses incurred obtaining their material for this volume. It is not only a work of history and genealogy, it is an autobiography of the life and travels of a man and woman searching for their family roots. If you have any thought that your family may be included in this work, it is a rare opportunity to obtain a documented account of the lives and people involved in weaving your family history in the tapestry of life. Although the book does not contain an index, it is prefaced by a chronological list of the family names and the pages on which each name begins. We are sorry that we can not list the names, lack of space forbids. MARRIAGE RECORDS OF BARREN COUNTY, KENTUCKY 1799-1849 - "The First Fifty Years - Compiled and published by Martha Powell Reneau, Rt 1, Glasgow, Ky 42141 Spiral bound, soft covers, allows book to be opened flat for easy use, 8ig"xll" offset printed, 294 pages of marriages arranged alphabetically by name of groom, each listing containing all available data concerning the marriage, such as separate dates for the license, bond and marriage, if so, all names of witnesses, bondsmen, securities, consents of parent(s) or guard ians, by whom married and where, if stated. There is a separate full name index of brides, and another separate index of all other names besides the groom and bride. Also listed are the names of all ministers and other persons performing the marriages. This is one of the finest marriage books that we have seen, as it appears that every effort possible was made to include all information that would aid in any way to make a full and complete record of the marr iage. With this marriage book and the 1850 Barren County, Kentucky Census records (listed below), the researcher will be able to build complete family groups.

By using this book with the Barren County, Kentucky Marriages, 1799-1849, by Reneau, (listed above) an almost complete family history may be built. THE WILLIAM WOOD and RELATED FAMILIES of ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA and BARREN COUNTY, KENTUCKY in the 1800*s. Compiled by Henry C. Peden, Jr., 1984 - Contains 45 pages, 8%"xll", soft covers, spiral bound, full name index. Price $7,00 - order from Henry C. Peden, Jr., 707 Bedford Rd., Bel Air, Maryland 21014 This is a presentation of the various Wood families of Albemarle County, Virginia and Barren County, Kentucky. The given name William seemed quite a favorite in the Wood family, which has resulted in much confusion between the several carriers of that name. Mr. Peden has done a considerable amount of research in Woods data in both Virginia and Kentucky records, com bining the results with his logical conclusions, and offering them to the reader. He includes Wood marriages of Barren County, census records, cemetery records, wills, and any data pertinent to this particular William Wood.
