Hi Grace,

Delaware Co. or not but some of her later decendants did. Here is what I
have on my husband's 3rd great grandmother. Does anything sound fimilar.
This family should be easy to reconize cause his 2nd great grandparents
were the parents to 21 children. I have all their 1st and middle names
and their full birthdates.I have no further info on any of the 21
children other than my husband's direct line (which is indicated with a

Could anyone help me with these families? James M. Freeman migrated to
Delaware County from Woodford County, Kentucky with his family. Also his
daughter and her husband John A. Bright of Mercer County, Kentucky migrated to
Delaware County about the same time. I have the names of their children and
will share if someone has any information on these families.
