  	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

  	Y-DNA step 2 match
  	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.
