  		1850 Kentucky, Christian County, District 2 census transcription of listing of several members of the Oglesby, Knight, Harkins, Mannana, Fox, Grace, Johnson, Lewis, Dukes, and Allison families living in the Christian County in 1850 within their own community. Census notation is made to the head of the families. note - see note of Jane Oglesby. She was living with a Johnson family from VA not yet identified but seems to have early ties with the Meltons who show up later. There is another Johnson family in this community from NC who connected a little later with the Dukes and Grace families.

  Notes	From: jwells1937@yahoo.com Subject: [KYCHRIST] Bartella Oglesby Date: 29 May 2002 05:18:53 -0600 Surnames: Oglesby, Coombs, Knight, Lile, Keith, Mannahan Classification: Query http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mAB.2ACE/2104 Linda, I saw the 1850 census. That is only place I have seen Bartella's name. The John Knight is same age as my John Knight born 1791, married Rachel Hankins 4 April 1816 Hopkins County, Ky. He and Rachel had children William, James, David Harvey, Sarah and Louisa who would be about same ages as the ones listed in the 1850 Christian County census. The youngest was Sarah born 1838. In Christian County marriages we found: John Knight and Ann Oglesby married 18 Oct. 1840.....Is this the same John Knight? there were too many John Knights, and Christian County did not require the bride and groom to answer all the questions, so for the most part, those pages are blank! At least the ones I am interested in, seem to be. In Christian County vital statistics: 10 Oct. 1856 Ann Knight-daughter of John and Jane Oglesby. mother born Va. John Oglesby was brother to my Constant Oglesby jr. who came to Christian County, Ky by 1803. Jane is listed in the census in same neighborhood with Constant, so evidently John died before 1810. ----- response: From: "Linda Moore" Subject: Re: [KYCHRIST] Bartella Oglesby Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 14:41:23 -0700 Hi Jean, Thanks so much for this information! I've wondered what Bartilda/Bartella was doing in this family. At first I thought she might be acting as a servant or the like, but it doesn't indicate that in the census record. It certainly sounds like Ann Oglesby Knight must have been related to her. I'd think she was Bartilda's mother by a previous marriage/relationship, but if Ann's maiden name was Oglesby, that doesn't seem too likely(?). Maybe an aunt? It's definitely an avenue for me to pursue, at any rate. I'm a little unclear on the vital record, though -- did Ann Oglesby Knight die on 10 Oct. 1856? Thanks again for this information!! Linda http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/KYCHRIST/2002-05/1022708483 -------------- Looks like the children belong to Rachel. Looks like Ann was a widow Oglesby with Bartilda/Barella her daughter from that first marriage. In 1850 census, though, Louisa is listed after the other children, indicating she's somehow different - a relative, or from another marriage (no, dates don't substantiate that), something other than birth child of head and wife.
