Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 17:42:50 -0500 From: Bill Kersey <bkersey@uky.campus.mci.net> Subject: James Kersey in Kentucky TO : Bill Kersey at < olgrey@gva.net > I am glad to make your acquaintance . My E-mail server would not let me send a message to your listed address ! I live in Ashland , Kentucky . This is in the Eastern part of the state near Ohio and W.V. I have an interest in all Kersey families in the state of KY. My own Kersey family came from Louisa County, VA about 1870 . In regard to your query about James Kersey Sr - yes ,I do have some information . 1.0 The Kersey List of 29 Aug 1998 published a memo which quotes a 1972 letter from the files of the Owensboro , Ky Public Library . You should look it up but I will retype part of it it here for your convenience . " June 9, 1972 Dear Mrs Alford , please publish my query .\\Seek data on : James Kersey born 1762-64 , Carolina , died 1834 , Nicholas County, Ky. Had children Elizabeth , married James L. Hinton 7/31/1827 . He was the son of Ezekial Latin Hinton ... . James Kersey was in the revolutionary War and married Susannah Bell , a relative of Daniel Boone. Other children of James Kersey were Eliza Ann , James (Jr), Elisha , and Vica . Any data on them would be appreciated . Mrs J. Max Draper, R#1 , Box 402 , Alexandria, IN 46001 ." This info was published by Will Samland . You can get his E-mail address from his memo. My info : The 1820 Census lists the following for Nicholas County : John Kersey # 109 ; James Kersey #109, ( I will check this number ) and James Jr #116 . The 1830 Census Lists for Nicholas County : Elisha #201 ; John in Carlisle # 201 ; John Jr #201 ; Thomas # 201 . Where was James ? My comment - I would bet that James Sr and John were brothers or cousins . Would James and John have gone to Boone Co, IN together in the 1830's ? Suggestion - check the memo written by Wayne Kersey dtd 18 May 1998 on the www address of the Kersey List . His E- Mail is < wmktat@execpc.com > .He seems to have a lot of information . NOTE : The Kentucky Census did not list John Kersey during the Census years of 1790, 1800 ,1810 but we do know from other sources that John came to Ky in 1779 and stayed until the 1830's . James may well have been in Ky before 1800 . Bill , I will be making a research trip to the Kentucky Archives in Frankfort, Ky in the near future and will check their files for any information on the James Kersey family in Nicholas County,Ky. We will stay in touch .

#8. Cader Kersey et al. - from Ralph T. Williams
Top
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 1998 10:23:25 -1000 From: "Ralph T. Williams" <tabor@lava.net> Subject: Cader Kersey et al. Dear Marv, Yes, I think you are right about David being the son of Cader Kersey. I have been doing my dance with Cader for about 20 years, and the first time I saw his name in print was in the Wakulla County, FL, Ocklockonee District, 1850 census, FHL film 6715, p. 263. Everyone listed in that entry was born in GA: Cader, age 40, farmer; Elizabeth -?-, age 38; children: Louisa, age 15; Martha, age 14; Sarah, age 12; Ann (in my line), age 10; Mary, age 8; Elijah, age 6; David, age 4; Amanda, age 2. I found him again in the Wakulla County, FL, fork of the Ocklockonee and Sopchoppy rivers, 1860 census, FHL film 803,109, p. 900. Again, everyone listed in that entry was born in GA: Cader, age 49, farmer; Elizabeth -?-, age 45; Sarah, age 20; Ann, age 18; Mary, age 16; David, age 14; Amandy, age 12; George, age 12. George seems to have been missed in the 1850 census. Maybe he and Amanda are twins? David's age would make him eligible to fight for the CSA. And you have him in the Franklin County, FL, CSA Pension Index as David Emanuel Kersey. That may be a clue to the county in which he was born. I have circumstantially narrowed my search for Cader to Emanual and Burke counties. He must have moved to FL around 1838, but I do not hold him in the 1840 census. Since Cader does not show up as head of household in 1830, in GA, he must have been living in someone else's household. Maybe a widowed mother? Someone else? I would certainly like to know. I am already a descendant of a Florida pioneer, based on my great-great-grandfather Braddock Williams, who came from Alabama to Walton County, FL. Maybe Cader beat him to FL.

Yep, it sure is on the Dawes Roll, but finding which Kersey, and what Tribe they belonged to is the question. Sure could use some help in this area also. I have found them on the Seminole Roll. The only name given for the mother was " Kersey ", and she belonged to the Okoske Harjo Band. The Roll number ( if anyone is interested ) is Card No. 326, and her roll number is 1061. She was the mother of Parhos Harjo, his birthdate was 1852. His wife and children are also listed. Please let us know where your Kersey's originated. You just might connect your line to someone on this list. For a while Janas and I were the only ones interested in the Indian connection, but lately there have been a lot of new Kersey's interested, but no valid proof of Indian heritage. Doris

Ruth's father was Lucious Kersey, and his mother's maiden name was Weeks. My mother believes that they came from Tennessee. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Carner - Bertha Carner. I have been on various Native chat groups (I am adopted, and am at least 1/2 Cherokee) and my mother asked me to find out if there is a chance that she is on the Dawes Rolls. I have no idea how to look through them! At any rate, on one of the bulletin boards which I was reading, a gentleman was listing common Cherokee surnames - Kersey was one of the ones listed. I kept that in mind, and am now trying to help my mom, as she thinks she'd like to register herself, although she is probably at most 1/8 Native. Here is something that I find humorous - Although I am 1/2 Cherokee, legally I am only what my adoptive parents are. If my mother enrolls, then I will legally be part Cherokee - by virtue of her having adopted me!!! I'm sure my ancestors are laughing themselves sick...

Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 05:00:49 -0800 From: Marv Miller <millerm@halcyon.com> Subject: Kersey: Dawes Rolls Online Hi folks-- Those looking for possible American Indian ancestors may be interested to find the Dawes Rolls online. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has made them available at http://www.nara.gov/nara/searchnail.html. This page is the NARA Archival Information Locator (NAIL). I selected "Standard Search", typed in keywords "Dawes Rolls", selected "Display Results" and then "Full results", then "Links to digital copies". This brings up an index of 634 (!) files of about 100Kb each, organized by tribe. Now for the bad news. The files are not in alphabetical order, not indexed, and, because they are images files, not searchable . The digital copies on my screen are pretty small when first brought up with my browser, so I had to save them and then look at them with another viewer that allows enlargement. I haven't tried optical scanning and conversion to text, but the images are not great quality so I'm not optimistic about that route. Good luck searching! By the way, NAIL looks like a fabulous tool that is only going to get better. Marv millerm@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/millerm

Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 09:47:46 EST From: BUFFUM2@aol.com Subject: Re: Kersey FW: Hello, and introduction: Group, and Troy, The Dawes Rolls are a Census from around the turn of the Century, ( supposedly ) of the different Indian Tribes, and their members. It is sloppy at best, and does not list everyone. The indians hid from them, for fear of being moved . The ones that were listed ( if they didn't die on the Trail of Tears ) were mostly of the ones that the government moved from their land. I doubt that your adopted Mom is registered, unless someone in her family applied for and was given citizenship into that Nation, or Tribe. You can go to the Cherokee Nation with your birth certificate, and trace your parent. That would be your birth mother. If you are 1/2 Cherokee, and can prove it, then you will be accepted. Your adopted Mom, probably wouldn't qualify, only being 1/8 , ? . I have never found the Kersey name anywhere among the Cherokee's. However Kersey is listed with the Seminols, Chickasaws, Lumbees, Melungeons, and lately I found it in the Tuscora Tribe, so there are Indian " Kersey's ". I have never found a Surname list of Cherokees with Kersey on it. Could you get the list from the man that you were speaking of ? I don't know who told you that about not being Cherokee, because you were adopted, but don't take it for granted, just because someone said it. You are Cherokee bv blood line. You need to get in touch with the Cherokee Nation in North Carolina. They will search for your family. They go by the mothers lineage. I don't have the address handy, but you can get it off of the internet, or I will try to look it up for you. The Cherokees welcome their children back into the Nation, so that they can continue their teachings, they don't like to lose anyone . Good Luck, and good hunting, Doris

#18. Kersey. Craigo in Ohio - from CHARLES YOUNG

Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 16:20:45 -0500 From: "CHARLES YOUNG" <hazychas@worldnet.att.net> Subject: Kersey. Craigo in Ohio My grandmother, Amelia Emma Kersey, daughter of James Kersey and Cynthia Craigo MARRIED Henry Lanis Young in Putnam county W.Va.on Dec.11, 1876. The Kanawha county Kerseys showed up in the 1850 census but not in the 1840 census. The Craigos did the same in Putnam county . Both families were from Ohio. I have been unable to establish a relationship with the Putnam county Craigos as the family show a female Serah Craigo and no male sas head of the family. Do you see any connection between these two families and yours? Charles Young hazychas@worldnet.att.net

I was a Julia Ann Kersey and have seen that name a lot since I have been receiving this newsletter. He married a VAUGHN in Marshall Co. Tn in 1867. Can anyone claim me?? Julia

I did look that particular Kersey up and this was a black woman named Susan Kersey, with children making application to be accepted as Indians into the Chicasaw Nation. They were not accepted. Thanks everyone for pitching in and helping to solve this PUZZLE, once and for all. I have other genealogy that I would like to work on before I leave this world and become a puzzle to someone else. Thanks, Doris
