======================================================
ELIJAH B. MUIR was born March 2, 1834, and is the only son of Samuel and
Susan (Bourne) Muir. Samuel Muir was born in Fayette County, Ky.,
December 28, 1800, but in 1825 moved to Jessamine County, where he died
October 5, 1885. Mrs. Susan Muir was born in Jessamine County December 3,
1809, and died April 21, 1876. Elijah B. Muir's paternal grandfather, John
Muir, was a native of Virginia, was in the Revolutionary war, and settled
in Fayette County, Ky., in an early day. Elijah B. was reared three miles
east of Nicholasville, on the farm where he was born, and was educated at
the common schools, and Bethany College, Va. He was married, February
22, 1860, to Miss Bettie, daughter of Henry and Margaret (Custer) Chrisman.
Her father is a native of Jessamine County, and her mother of Virginia.
There have been three children born to this union: Henry C., December 2,
1860; Samuel B., May 26, 1862; Elijah B., January 10, 1872. Mr. Muir is
comfortably situated on the Union Mill Turnpike, two miles northeast of
Nicholasville, in Marble Creek District. He owns 1,325 acres of good land,
part in Marble Creek, and part in Sulphur Well District, and with his wife
belongs to the Methodist Church.
Hi:
I would like everyone to know that. Almelda was not the only child. And Martha Davis was the second wife. After Melinda/Belinda. She is listed as unknown. Melindas daughter Ina was my grandfathers(GradyHutson) mother. Sam and Samuel L. Chrisman are the same man.
Lisa
New to list. Not much to go on. Need help.
I'm looking for NANCY TAHRESA CHRISMAN. b. Oct. 1, 1847 in Tennessee.
Orphaned at age 5. Had 3 sisters. Was raised in Missouri by a half brother.
Married W.L. MAGERS, a Civil War Vet. Moved to Washington in 1878.
Any clues. Does anyone have these people living in their attic?
All help appreciated.
