Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 22:42:32 EDT From: BUFFUM2@aol.com Subject: Kersey Marv, and Kersey List, I have just today been given a small book on the Kersey family . These are some Kersey's of Ky. Va. and SC. It has a Will of John Kersey, a marraige certificate of John Kersey and Elizabeth Bale . There is a James Kersey who was friends with Daniel Boone and married Susan Bell of the Boone family. they had six children, Elisha, Vica, Elizabeth, John, James, and Eliza. This little book is full of information on a lot of Kersey's . I don't recognize any of them. The person that gave it to me has had it for ten years, and is not interested in genealogy. My maiden name being Kersey, he thought that I might be interested, and brought it over to me. I will pass on information that is in it. I have only scanned through it. I was so excited that I wanted to share it with the list. I really think it is mostly about the Kentucky Kersey's. I will send the info in several installments---it's really interesting. AOL is getting pretty bad about bumping people off line. I have tried all day to answer my e-mail. I got bumped off three times in less than fifteen minutes. I will probably be one of the ones that change servers if it keeps up. A lot of people that I e-mail has had their mail bounced, and they are still with AOL. Bell South was also having trouble--so I was told. Get back later, Doris

Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 23:08:08 EDT From: BUFFUM2@aol.com Subject: Kersey Marve and Kersey List, here is the first page of the book given to me on the Kersey's. TWIGS AND BRANCHES OF BALE, KERSEY, AND MERDITH FAMILY TREE. No man is perfect, therefore I do not claim to be, and neither is my book. However, there is a lot of time and hard work involved in putting these records together and I dearly enjoyed all of it. I hope the mistakes can be corrected and that I left out no one. There are other generations that I will add to this book, as soon as time permits. As we never know what tomorow brings, I felt it better to put together the records that I have now, and hope to have time to add to it in the future. There is very little that any of us can do to prolong our lives, but through this book maybe, we can prolong the memories of our Ancestors, Parents, Grandparents, and loved ones. It must have been a long hard road from Europe to America, over the Ocean. Then by hardships, hunger, and sickness, our strong men and women fought their way over mountains from the ocean to New Jersey, to Kentucky. Bringing with them their worldly possessions in covered wagons and on horse back to settle in Green County, Kentucky. The struggle then led on to Edmonson County, Ky. Now to be found in many States and Counties. We can only imagine the hard work that has brought all of us to this very minute and this very place. This book of record is researched and compiled by Bettye Kersey Song , and printed by Lilly Kersey Sullivan, 4th Great Granddaughter of Henry and Elizabeth Gunderman Bale. August 1976. This book contains in part, records of, 1st Generation, Henry and Elizabeth Gunderman Bale, 2nd Gen. Jacob Bale, and Sophia Snook Bale, 3rd Gen. John & Elizabeth Bale Kersey ( their decendents ) 4th Gen John B & Elizabeth Merdith Kersey, and their decendents-------some records of their decendents are not known. End. This little book in some places is lengthly, but very interesting, and I don't mind sharing it with the Kersey List. However I do not want to bog the list down with it, if no one is interested in it.. Please let me know your feelings on this. Hope these belong to some of the Kersey's----and they could possibly be mine as well, I just don't know yet ! I am still stuck on Stephen back in 1850 ! Will send more on James Kersey tomorrow. Good reading, Doris

John Kersey ( Casey ) went to live with his children in Boone County, Indiana in 1837. The Daughters Of The American Revolution placed a tombstone on John Kersey's grave. He is buried in Beck Cemetery beside his first wife Lucreticia Hutcherson Kersey. Whomever this family belongs to, I will be more than glad to copy all of what I have and mail it to them. I want to keep the book, just in case that I tie into this family someday. The person that gave it to me is also kin and he says that " he was told that this is his family ". He is just not interested in family history. Get back Later, Doris

Of interest to someone I am sure, is a Randolph County certificate for a J. D. Kersey a bond of $200 licensing him to carry a gun as an elected constable in 1901. Also of possible interst is the marriage cert for Joseph Kirsey and Ellen Aycock in Randolph County in Oct 1869. This I believe is the son of my GGgrandfther Bannster. I found the marriage certificate Doris pointed me to on my gggrandfather William and confirmed the spelling is Cursey, but could find no other records, land or otherwise under any spelling for him. I've got a few other items of possible interest to fellow Kersey searchers which I will share with you later......Pete Kersey

#26. Kersey -- Hello everyone! - from Isabuddy@aol.com
Top
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 08:31:53 EDT From: Isabuddy@aol.com Subject: Kersey -- Hello everyone! Hello everybody! Just thought I'd quickly introduce myself! I am researching the Kersey's in Georgia, though I have just begun and haven't gotten very far. I live in central Alabama, and so far have found that my entire family on all sides comes from Georgia. (At least into the early 1800's). So that is making my family research a little easier. My grandmother was Lillie Mae Dyal, married to Eli Hugh (Elihu) Kersey (b. Oct. 1, 1890). Eli Hugh Kersey was the son of Thomas E. Kersey (b. May 1852 in Georgia) and Susan Carter (b. March 1853). Thomas and Susan were married on November 10, 1873 in Appling Co., Georgia, and on the marriage certificate, Thomas is listed as Thomas Kirsey. Thomas' parents were John A. Kersey (b. abt 1811) and Priscila. This is about as much information as I have...I do have children listed for John Kersey, Thomas Kersey, and Eli Hugh Kersey, if this would be helpful to anyone. Well I guess I could've said a little bit more about myself! I have been researching my family tree for about 4 years now, and I've been researching the Dyal and Kersey lines out of Georgia, and the Cribbs out of Georgia and Florida. My grandmother has been helping me a lot since she did not know much about her family and she is eager to learn more. I have to go to work, so I've got to cut this short, but I'm excited to be a part of this! Sincerely, Kristi Zoebelein

A piece of trivia July 1945...Randolph County...."To the Honorable J.W. Ivey, Ordinary of said county: The petition of Mrs J.M. Kersey shows that she is the mother of James Lawrence Kersey, Eugene Kersey and C.G. Kersey and that children's father is deceased, minors residing in said countyu; that said minors have an estate of probably five hundred dollars. Petitioner prays an order appointing her Guardian of the property of said minors....signed Mrs J.M. Kersey, petitioner...so ordered. One final note: I stopped in the county seat of Chatahoochee County, Cusseta, Georgia and found no marriage or land/deed records of Kersey or variant spellings for the period 1790 through 1850. I was specifically looking for Bannister Kersey and was in a hurry, so it is possible I may have missed something. Hope someone connects on one of these bits and pieces. Pete Kersey.

#40. Origination of Kersey surname - from Farrell Kersey
Top
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 1999 02:03:52 -0400 From: Farrell Kersey <iceman99@NorthState.Net> Subject: Origination of Kersey surname Is Kersey a surname that originated in Scotland or in England? When I did my research I came across Kerseys that lived in both places. The earlier ones lived in Scotland, in the section of Ayrshire. One website also mentioned the surname "MacKersey." Could this have been a former surname and the "Mac" was dropped? I could find the clan for the MacKerseys, but not for the Kerseys. I'm in a bind trying to conclude on whether or not I'm part Scottish. Thanks, Farrell Kersey P.S. I got an A++++ on my geneaology report for psychology.

My name is Kathryn Susan (Kersey) Davis. Altho I was born in Oakland CA, my parents were both from Georgia. My Father, Virlyn B. Kersey was born in McRae GA. My Mother was Pearl Gaskins, they are both deceased. I am new at this and haven't traced my roots very far yet, but my gt grandfather was Robert Mayo Kersey, and his son Otto was my grandfather, who had 13 siblings, so that gives an extra good chance for me to have many relatives. (hehe) I am also in search for a brother who was put up for adoption in 1946, born in Eastman GA. (i was told adoptive parents name would be put on the birth certificate making it hard to trace roots) And he was possibly raised somewhere in Florida. ANY information would be greatly appreciated.
