Baugh selling land and the names of those I later confirmed to be his daughters also listed.3 Continued research led me to James’ father, Samuel Baugh.4 Kentucky census records showed John Baugh and Samuel Baugh of Logan County were both born in Virginia. I found a War of 1812 pension application for Samuel Baugh, indicating that he was enlisted in the South Carolina Militia under Captain Key at Edgefield, S.C.5 This raised a big question: why did he serve from South Carolina when he had been born in Virginia? After many years of research, I believe I have an answer. John Baugh of Logan County had a son named Daniel. Daniel’s family Bible lists John Baugh as a son of James Baugh of Virginia.6 Research at the Library of Virginia produced Chesterfield County Chancery Court records for James Baugh (b. 2 December 1740) that list the fol- William Green Baugh and Alice Kelly lowing: Baugh.

Part Two

Approximately 2,000 German-born Kentucky residents served in Union regiments during the Civil War and at least 1,200 of these men came from Louisville and Jefferson County. The regiments containing the greatest number of Germans from Jefferson County were the 4th Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, 5th, 6th, 22nd, 28th and 34th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry Regiments and the Louisville Provost Guard. The following listing identi- fies some Louisville Germans who served in the 6th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. Their unit served in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and suffered 95 men killed or mortally wounded in battle and 82 dead from diseases.

2003 Kentucky Ancestors V39-1 12 13 2003 Kentucky Ancestors V39-1 The Alvey Family of England, Maryland, and Kentucky Jesse Alvey and his descendants

By Robert Lee Alvey Sr.

Part Three

Parts One and Two of this series brought the Alvey family forward in time from Generation One (Arthur Alvey in England about 1550) to Henry Alvey, grandson of Jesse Alvey of St. Mary’s County, Md., and his children through Generation Nine. Because of the many children of Henry and his three wives, Generation 10 for Henry Alvey’s descendants will be presented in future articles. This article will take Henry’s sister Susannah Alvey and her family forward to Generation 11. Susannah married her first cousin James Alvey Jr.,another grandson of Jesse Alvey, and they settled and lived their lives in the vicinity of Hardin County, Ky. Susannah and James were my great-great-great grandparents. Henry and Susannah were born in St Mary’s County, but came to Kentucky as children when their parents Benedict and Mary Alvey migrated to Washington County about 1798. Both married in Kentucky and while their descendants live all over the United States and other parts of the world, many still reside in Kentucky today.

However, no Susannah and James Alvey Jr. listing for her has been found in the 1850 census. As briefly presented in part two of this series, As listed on the 1848 Hardin County tax list, the Susannah and James Alvey Jr. were first cousins, property had been split and listed in the names of grandchildren of Jesse Alvey (b. about 1730, St. James and Benedict.

Because of the loss of the 1890 federal census, records from the decade of the 1890s are important genealogical sources. The following record of the Corinth Deposit Bank lists customers and payees beginning with the bank’s founding. Dr. W.H. Daugherty – a prominent local landowner – served as first president of the bank, as well as a founding director. The record, along with others, was donated to the Kentucky Historical Society in 1999 by Mr. Giff Kollhoff of Corinth. It is in the possession of the KHS Special Collections department. For more information, contact Archivist Lynne Hollingsworth at (502) 564-1792 or via e-mail at: [email protected]. The present 6th-class city of Corinth, named for the local Corinth Christian Church, was founded on the site of an old stagecoach stop. A post office was established there on October 22, 1868. The city was incorporated in 1878. Notes appear in parentheses.

Beginning with the 29 April 1845 issue, the Frankfort Commonwealth published a list of forfeited lands from counties throughout Kentucky.

It also documents individuals who did not or were unable to pay their taxes. Though the text has been placed in table form, place names and other original information have been retained.

From Lewis Collins’s History of Kentucky (1847) Louisville’s Main Street in the 1840s. Having reached city status in 1828, Louisville in the 1840s was a growing, rambunctious place dominated by merchants and—nearer the river—warehouse operators and tavern-keepers. Author Charles Fenno Hoffman described “large and airy” shops with “a very showy display of goods” There were “numerous drays continually passing to and fro, the concourse of well-dressed people in the streets and the quantity of river-craft in front of the town.” The influence of Henry Clay and the local merchants had turned Louisville away from the Democratic Party in favor of the Whigs, which virtually ruled local politics for nearly a quarter-century.

2003 Kentucky Ancestors V39-1 58 59 2003 Kentucky Ancestors V39-1 MYSTERY ALBUM

The Kentucky Historical Society’s collection includes an album of cabinet photographs and other images that may have belonged to Mrs. Agnes Willson Major (1889- 1966) or one of her relatives. The image at right, taken from a small tintype probably made in the early 1860s, was found tucked into the album’s backing. Below, an 1890s cabinet photograph of a man identified as Atilla Green. He may or may not have been Atilla L. Green, who died in Franklin County on 13 July 1951 at age 84 or the Atilla Green identified as the son of Mrs. George Green in the 22 July 1910 issue of the Frankfort State Journal.

Mystery Album seeks identities of those pictured in old photographs, many of which have been obtained from antique stores. The goal is to match the photographs with family members or descendants. Each photograph will include any names written on them, as well as any other clues to their origins. If you recognize a family member or can provide any additional clues about a photograph, please contact Kentucky Ancestors at 100 W. Broadway, Frank- fort, KY 40601-1931, or call (502) 564-1792, or e-mail: [email protected].
