Hello Jeff,
I also am a descendant of several Switzerland Co. families. I have
information on a few of the Sigmon's going back to Peter, born 1745.
They were connected to my Pavy's. Also have quite a bit on the Lewis
family. I have some information on the Mitchell family that is connected
to the Rogers, Garner's, Pavy's and Bellamy's. I would very much like
to exchange information with you on the Rogers family. My gg grandmother
was Susannah Rogers who married Nathaniel Gerard in VA abt. 1800, moved
to Montgomery Co., KY and then to Switzerland Co. abt. 1811. I have been
unable to find anything on her parents or ancestors. Their daughter, Ann
S. Gerard, married Samuel H. Pavy of Switzerland Co. I have one Kinman,
Anna Brooks Kinman, who married Flavius Gerard, a nephew of Ann S.
Gerard. I have a number of Gray's going back to John, born 1801, who
married Matilda Bellamy. They are also connected to the Garner's. I have
several Lyon's who are connected to the Moler's and Bellamy's. I have a
Robert A. Knox, born 1819 in Switzerland Co. who married Louisa Kern, a
first cousin to my mother. They had one son, Henry K. Knox who married
Maria Davis. Also a Helen Lucille Knox who married a Konkle, another of
my lines. If you believe any of these people may be your relatives I
would be glad to hear from you and would be glad to share my information
with you. I am also sending this to the list in case anyone else has a
connection to my surnames.

IR>Hello all,
IR>To be honest, I don't remember if I've ever posted just a list of the
IR>families I am working on (and descended from) in Switzerland County before
IR>or not. So, I thought I would go ahead and do so now.
IR>My father is a native of Switzerland County and on his father's side I
IR>have the following families: PROTSMAN, SIGMON, CLEMENTS, LEWIS, RICHARDS,
IR>and MITCHELL. My paternal grandmother is a GULLION (by birth) and some of
IR>her other families include: HICKMAN, KINMAN, LOCK, TOWER, HEADY, PARKER,
IR>GRAY or GREY, KEITH, LYON, and ROGERS.
IR>Although my mother is a native of Carroll Co., KY, I also am related to a
IR>few Switzerland County families through her as well...most notably to the
IR>KNOX family...but I also know that the BALES in Switzerland County are
IR>also all related to me. Other possible connections might be to families
IR>named ELLIS, BLEDSOE, and maybe SEARCY.
IR>If any of these ring any bells, I would be happy to swap information.
