I'm sorry, but I didn't know her family at all. I was her case manager the last couple or few years of her life. She had moved to Clay City into "senior housing," an apartment complex in town. I think she might have come from the Patricksburg area to Clay City. I associate her with Owen County--Patricksburg or Worthington (well, I guess that's in Greene County). She was a widow. I used to visit her in her apt. and check on her. I believe she received a homemaker from our agency, to help her keep house. She may have also received meals on wheels--I forget. She was a very little woman. She was in a wheelchair at the time. She told me it was a child's size wheelchair. I believe she was under 5 feet tall; much of this was due to osteoporosis. She said she had lost several inches in height due to this condition. She had an Emergency Response button she wore around her neck that would summon help if she fell. I helped her to get that, too. One night she fell and la!
y on the floor all night until she pressed the button at 5 a.m. She said she waited because she didn't want to disturb the operators in the middle of the night! She had nice things--furniture, etc., in her apartment. She was a classy lady, nice, and friendly, and soft-spoken. I remember really liking her and enjoying visiting her. I wish I knew more, or could remember more, to tell you. I think she spoke of her deceased husband, but I don't remember what she might have said.

OMG, I never thought I would run into anyone who knew her. Is there anything you can remember about her family. I know she had no children, just nieces and nephews. I would love to see a picture of what my blood grandfather looked like, if one still exists. My goodness ...I have John McKinley Whitmore and my grandmothers marriage papers, my dads birth and adoption papers. I have lots of things except a picture. Any help you can provide would be of the greatest appreciation.

I am trying to find any info that can lead me to death information on Delila Gibson. She was the widow of John Gibson (1812-1876), born abt May 1827 likely in KY. Married John between 1852-1855 probably in Vigo Co, but I can find no record. She had at least 10 children with John, maybe 12 and she had cared for 4 others that were John's by previous marriages. She was still alive during the 1900 census living in Nevins Twp. Vigo Co., IN. I found an entry in a Terra Haute directory that states her residence as Cloverland, and Gazateers list this city in Clay Co. Is there anyone out there that can help me figure out when and where this woman died? I have searched every avenue that I can think of.

I knew Mildred Whitmore. I was a case manager (kind of a case worker) working for the Area Agency on Aging in Clay County at that time and she was one of my clients. I used to visit her in her apartment in the last years of her life, setting up services to help her remain independent. She was a very nice lady, quite tiny in stature.

You might be able to get some help from the following organization: Clay County Genealogical Society research(a)ccgsilib.org
They have cemetery and funeral records in their library.
They charge a fee, but it is reasonable.

I am going to try and send this again, I don't think it made it through last time. If it's a repeat, I apologize - LeeAnn
Hello everyone. In my further attempt to find information on the mysterious Swithin Stalcop I took a trip to Mason County, Kentucky. Next week I will make the trip to Floyd County, Kentucky where it is said that Swithin passed away. There is some potentially interesting information in Mason County on a John Stalcop. He is found in the 1795 Kentucky Census in Mason County. I could not find Swithin in the same census. This is where I got confused. Could it be that John and Swithin were somehow confused? Or is this John the older brother of our Swithin? This John passed away sometime between 1797 and 1799 in Mason County. He had no will but there was an inventory of his estate and Rebecca is found in Tax Lists for Mason County until 1806 (that I found). In the 1800 census there is a Rebecca Stalcop is listed as a widow, I believe this to be John's wife. This is the same name many people have given the mysterious wife of Swithin. Also. living nearby is Elias Stalcop. He is found later in Lewis County (which was formed out of Mason County). Also, many people say that Swithin married Rebecca in Orange County and I have investigated this and been unable to find a record of marriage for Swithin there, though I did find one for Swen to a Barbara Miller We find a Swithin Stalcop in Floyd County, Kentucky in the 1810 census - he is living alone. He is listed as over 45 years of age. The question is, is this Swen Stalcop (born supposedly 1765), son of Tobias or is this the older Swithin Stalcop (born supposedly 1745), son of Peter Stalcop? Swen Stalcop married Barbara Miller in Orange County, North Carolina 13 NOV 1794. It is also important to note that Swithin Stalcop, son of Peter is the only child we are unable to find a baptismal register for at Old Swedes Church. In 1799 we do find a Swithin Stallcop in tax lists in Orange County, Kentucky. Is this Swen or Swithin? I originally had this down as my Swithin, but it may in fact be Swen. According to rootsweb John married an Elizabeth and they have no son named Elias. I may have this all confused but I'm attempting to find proof that Swithin is indeed the son of Peter and Susannaha Stalcop and that he did indeed marry a woman by the name of Rebecca and that he did have the following children: Matthias, Elias, David Johnson, William and John. Now you can possibly see where my confusion has come on - wife: Rebecca, son: Elias and look at David's middle name. In Sweden this may indicate him as the son of JOHN. Also, in the 1820 census we find Rebecca living in Lewis County near John, Elias, and Matthias Stalcop - all of these are names of Swithin's children. I realize these names ran down several generations. This could be another Stallcop family I am unfamiliar with, I admit. Maybe there is a John Stalcop who married a Rebecca and had sons by the same name as Swithin and Rebecca did. One mystery though, is where is David this whole time. David Johnson Stallcop being my direct ancestor. He would have been about 29 at the time, so I am assuming he would have been living on his own! Yet another clue is that on the same page as Rebekah Stalkup are Elson's and Elizabeth Elson married David John Stallcop in Lewis County in 1821!!!! Per marriage record I found for David Johnson Stallcop and Elizabeth Elson, her father was Richard and he is also living in the 1810 and 1820 Lewis County, Kentucky census. Also, Rebecca does have one male living with her at the time of the 1820 census, is this my David Johnson Stallcop? I am beginning to believe so. She also has one female living with her, it must be a daughter that we have yet to identify. Anyone have any ideas, input or other data they think I should be considering? Hopefully I will find more information on this Swithin Stallcop when I go to Floyd County, Kentucky. Could this man be Swen and not Swithin? I believe Swen and Swithin in fact are the same name. Are these two men uncle and nephew or are they in fact the SAME PERSON? Swen could have stopped in Floyd County, Kentucky on his way to Sumner County, Tennessee where he passed away. An interesting aside is that some Stallcops apparently stayed in the Mason County and Lewis County, Kentucky area. While researching at The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center Research Library there I found information on Stallcops I didn't now existed, one being Mayor of Maysville (he passed away 1901). His name was William E. Stallcop. If anyone is his descendant, please let me know - I have a photo of him I printed out. I also have information about a couple by the names of John and Catherine Stallcop and saw entries in the school ledgers for their children. I also have a copy of this John's inventory of his estate, he passed away in the 1860s. I will update everyone once I go to Floyd County next week! Maybe I should go to Lewis County, Kentucky too? Sorry if this message is confusing, there is so much data running through my head. I hope this is coherent!!! Thank you for your time and consideration.
