Hi, I'm Doc. This picture was taken by one of our grad students. I've been enjoying
genealogy for going on twenty five years now and have compiled what I think is a ground
breaking version of the 1850 Morgan County, Kentucky census. It has an index entry
for every named individual who Samuel Turner enumerated and has every person in
each household, including slaves, listed, and also includes
the specific date they were enumerated. I've only been able to tentatively give
a name to a few of the slaves (included in the index as
"None recorded" for the surname plus the given name) and need everyone's help to determine
names for the rest of the involuntary residents of the county that year.
This database is a work in progress and it is yours as much as it is mine, although I will retain control of the contents and editing. I've managed to determine a fair number of
maiden names but need many more for this to be as useful
as I hope it can be. Quite a few people have assisted me in incorporating more maiden names and I have acknowledged their efforts and included links to their e-mail addresses in the tables where they helped so that other researchers interested in the same families can get in touch with them. (This was a fortuitious inovation that occurred to me in an epiphany! I acted upon it immediately!!)
