Dr. Paul Raymond Cunningham, a prominent member
of the dental fraternity of Muhlenberg county, is
practicing in Central City and represents the
fourth generation of the family in Kentucky. His
great-grandfather, William Cunningham, was born
in Bonnie, Scotland, a coast town, in 1765, and
was the youngest of three children. His brother
died in early life and his sister came to the
United States soon after her marriage, settling
on the James River in Albemarle county, Virginia,
in 1780. William Cunningham received a common
school education and learned the tailor's trade
under the direction of his father. According to
the laws of his country he as obliged to spend at
least two years in the regular army and in order
to avoid military service he left home. With the
assistance of his maternal uncle, a sailor, he
stowed himself away on a sailing vessel bound for
America and remained hidden until the ship was in
mid-ocean. After a six months' voyage the boat
reached Chesapeake bay and was anchored in the
harbor at Norfolk, Virginia. Obtaining permission
to go ashore, Mr. Cunningham traversed the city
and managed to elude his uncle, for a seafaring
life was thoroughly distasteful to him.
Proceeding to Albemarle county, he joined his
sister, with whom he made his home for a number
of years, and from 1792 until 1794, during the
whiskey rebellion in Pennsylvania, was a solder
in the United States Army. After the expiration
of his term of service he returned to his
sister's home and resumed his former occupation.
In 1795 William Cunningham was married in
Albemarle county to Miss Nancy Carr, daughter of
a wealthy planter and for a time they lived on a
small farm in the county. In the spring of 1818
Mr. Cunningham migrated to western Kentucky and
with the assistance of one of his sons and a
negro slave built a house and stable on his
property in Trigg county, also raising a crop of
corn. In the fall of 1818 he again journeyed to
Virginia, disposed of his land in that state, and
brought his family to the new home in Kentucky.
He erected a mill on the present site of Trigg
Furnace, cleared his farm and prepared the land
for cultivation of corn and tobacco. He was one
of the pioneer horticulturists of that locality,
bringing his trees from Virginia, and became the
owner of a large orchard which bore fruit for
nearly a hundred years. Through hard work and
good management he developed a highly productive
plantation, which is now known as the John Crute farm.
Mr. Cunningham also found time for public affairs
and was an officer at the first election ever
held in Trigg county, formerly a part of
Christian county. He figured conspicuously in
events which shaped its early history, becoming a
member of the third session of the circuit court
in 1820, and was appointed by the judge as road
commissioner, in which connection he opened up
the public highways in the western part of the
county. Although not a medical practitioner he
was successful in his efforts to combat disease
and his skill was much in demand. He was long a
leader of progress in his district and served the
community to the best of his ability until his
death in 1823, at the age of fifty-eight years.
His wife was born in 1770 and passed away in
1833. She had reached the sixty-third milestone
on life's journey and was laid to rest in the
Trigg Furnace cemetery beside her husband.
In their family were twelve children. John, the
eldest, who was born in 1796 and died in 1854,
married Polly Gresham, who was born in 1799 and
died in 1870. They had eight children: William,
Jasper, Betsy, John, Mary, Belle, Eddie and
Helen. Gideon was born in 1798 and died in 1865,
while his wife, Harriet Tidwell, was born in 1800
and died in 1860. They were the parents of five
children: Andrew, Michins, Jack, Nicholas and
Beadie. Thomas, who was born in 1799 and died in
1870, married Malinda Baker, who was born in 1802
and died in 1870. Their family numbered eight
children: William, Thomas, Fream, Frances, Blake,
Caroline, Adliza and Alexander. William was born
in 1800 and died in 1878. His wife, Jennie
Mitchell, was born in 1811 and died in 1875, and
they had nine children: Nancy, Andrew, David,
Thomas, Mickins, Alexander, Eliza, John and
Dabney. Andrew, who was born in 1804 and died in
1879, married Nancy Pool, who was born in 1806
and died in 1886, and they were the parents of
six children: Morgan, Green, Bruce, Mary, Eliza
and Josie. Dabney was born in 1806 and died in
1866. Mickins was the next of the family. His
sister, Mrs. Rebecca (Cunningham) Wimbly, who was
born in 1809 and died in 1869, was the mother of
eight children: James, Jack King, Clint, Vertura,
Emmie, Sarah, Mat and Alice. James, who was born
in 1810 and died in 1888, married Sarah Wimbly,
who was born in 1815 and died in 1882 and they
had ten children: John, Perry, Penelope, Polly,
Helen, Malissa, Victoria, Sallie, Nannie and
Bettie. Alexander was born in 1813 and died in
1882, while his wife, Cynthia Wallace, was born
in 1816 and died in 1887 and they were the
parents of eight children: Alexander, Zachariah,
Axom, Lida, Malissa, Kate, Malinda and Duncan.
Robert, who was born in 1816 and died in 1884,
married Mary Civils, who was born in 1818 and
died in 1890 and they had a family of eleven
children: Leander, William, James, Robert, Mack,
Rufus, Washington, Elizabeth, Eudorda, Aurora and
Signora. Nancy was born in 1818 and died in 1830.
Mikins Cunningham, the seventh child of William
and Nancy Cunningham, was born in 1808 and died
in 1888. He followed the occupation of farming,
was a life-long resident of Trigg county, was an
adherent of the democratic party and a Baptist in
religious faith. He wedded Betsy Civils, who was
born in 1811 and died in 1899. They were the
parents of ten children: Robert, Arnold, James,
Warren C., Ruth, Eliza, Zurea, Kittie, Bettie and Tishie.
Their son, Warren C. Cunningham, father of Dr.
Cunningham, was born in Trigg county and studied
dentistry under a preceptor. He acquired marked
skill in the profession, which he followed during
the later part of his life in Cadiz, Kentucky, in
partnership with his son, Dr. H. G. Cunningham,
who is now practicing in Bristol, Tennessee. The
father remained in Cadiz until his demise and was
a faithful member of the Baptist church, while in
politics he was a democrat. The mother, Julia
(Adams) Cunningham, was born in Trigg county and
still resides in Cadiz. Her parents were Clay and
Sarah Adams, of whom the latter was born
in Trigg county and resides on the homestead
near Cadiz. Mr. Adams was a native of the Blue
Grass state and served in the Civil War. He was a
Baptist in religious faith and his life was
devoted to agricultural pursuits. Dr. Paul R.
Cunningham has four half-brothers and one
half-sister, namely: Jewell, who operates a farm
in Trigg county; Herbert G., a prominent dentist
of Bristol, Tennessee; Fenton, who is a printer
and lives in Asheville, North Carolina; Mark C.,
an accountant, with the Illinois Central
Railroad, who resides in Chicago, Illinois; and
Mrs. Bentley Piercy, of Cadiz, Kentucky.
Dr. Paul R. Cunningham was born October 20, 1901,
in Trigg county, and received his early education
in Cadiz. He completed a course in the
Hopkinsville high school and in 1924 was
graduated from the University of Louisville with
the degree of D. D. S. He served for a year as an
interne of the City Hospital in Louisville and
then came to Central City. He is located in the
building of the United Mine Workers of America
and his office is equipped with the most modern
appliances used in dental surgery. He has a
natural talent for the profession and the rapid
growth of his practice testifies to the confidence reposed in his ability.
Dr. Cunningham is a member of the Delta Sigma
Delta dental fraternity and acts as scribe of the
Kentucky branch of the organization. He is a
member of the State, Western Central and American
Dental Associations and keeps in close touch with
the progress that is constantly being made by his
profession. He belongs to the Central City Board
of Trade and champions every project for the good
of his community. He is a Mason, belonging to the
Cadiz Lodge, No. 121, F. & A. M.; Central City
Chapter, o. 147, R. A> M.; Central City
Commandery, No. 41, K. T.; and Rizpah Temple of
the Mystic Shrine at Madisonville. He is
affiliated with the Baptist church and his
political views are in accord with the tenets of
the democratic party. Dr. Cunningham is a young
man of serious purpose, keen intelligence and
pleasing personality and the respect accorded him is well deserved.

Thanks for responding. Looks like we are related. This is information which I have also. Have you researched any further back, and if so, how far have you gotten? Have you had any luck finding the family of my father, Edward b. 12 Mar 1917. I think I just got a response from a son, Mike, and am trying to get additional info from him. Elijah Harding was my grandfather, and Elijah Watson, my great grandfather. I am interested in learning any anecdotes family members may have about the relatives. I have a new e-mail address. Please use it in the future. It is: brownsmlk(a)aol.com Thanks again, Delight Brown

Hello List!
My first post to the list is about this subject marriage in 1775 at Holy Trinity, Whitehaven.
Any members have family from that timeframe and location? There were several families there that I could tell from the IGI.
Robert and Grace had three children, maybe a fourth:
Isaac Carr 1776
Mary Carr 1782
Elizabeth Carr 1785
Robert KARR - May 1779 (I believe this should be CARR not KARR)
Mike
