    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.

    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!!

    --------------
    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.

    Notes:

    Residence:
    CONTANT OGLESBY NARRATIVE According to family history, it was too hot and too dry in SC and they moved to Christian Co., KY in 1803. As you go from Greenville, KY on Hwy 189, after crossing Pond River into Christian Co., on top of a hill is a house on the left - just a little off the road. Constant lived behind that house near a spring; at last account, it is still owned by direct descendants through Jacob, son of Constant. On the right is a clump of trees, this is where Constant & Nancy are supposedly buried. A wee bit south of that, at Apex, an old road crosses going out to Natural Rock Bridge. That road was supposedly the Red Banks Trace (Henderson, KY).
    Nancy, daughter of Constant, was the first white woman to cross the natural rock bridge. Constant Oglesby's family is buried on a hill above Pond River, Hwy 62. His wife Nancy is buried near a clump of trees with sandstone markers and a wire fence. (Also noted is that it is Hwy 189 and that nothing is left but sandstone rocks.)

    http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/16475787/person/1499162506/story/8d6b9ff3-b465-4b7b-9026-1edc4b937f5e?src=search



    Property:
    8 Jul 1809, he was granted 400 acres on Pond River (near Apex) on the Greenville Hopkinsville Road.


    Research Notes:
    In 2009 when John had his YDNA test the results came back as match in 37 and 67 tests. No common denominator was found. On Feb 27, 2013, a tester in the Oglesby group, Richard Arthur (Oglesby) Wilson, a descendant of Jesse, was a match to him in the 37, with a step 2 match. As it turned out, the Sheltons married into the Oglesby line with the marriage of Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby, so assuming that must be the reason the Shelton line showed a match.
    Gustavas descends from Constant, Sr., Jesse and Constant being brothers; making Jesse the great-uncle of Gustavas.

    Constant^ married Nancy Ann^ Coursey about 1775. Nancy was born about 1755; died about 1830 in Christian Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
