Houston Arledge connections

Last weekend my husband and I went to Houston and stayed in a bed and breakfast only 2 miles from our son and his wife. On their website, it mentioned the original owners of the bed and breakfast had the last name of Arledge. I sent an email about possibly being related to my husband's Arledges. However, we didn't talk to anyone while we were there. On arriving home, I rec'd an email from the original owner, and the email gave me that parents and grandparents names of their Arledge ancestor. Looking at ancestery.com, there is a connection 4 or 5 generations back. Small world!

Western Kentucky History Blog by Brenda Joyce Jerome

At least twice a week, I read Brenda's blog on Western Kentucky history and genealogy. Several weeks ago, she posted a document about the Wilcox heirs....only it was "surviving" heirs. My ancestor who was a sibling to those listed, had already passed away, so he was NOT mentioned. Fortunately, I do have one other document, which was loose in a file at the Caldwell (KY) County courthouse, which names him. I sent that document to her, so she would have access to all heirs.

Would be SO nice to have a photo of this ancestor!

A distant cousin on my husband's side of the family emailed today, hoping that we could help identify a photo of Mary Elizabeth Edwards Brown. She is the oldest child of 10 children from a Georgia family, and there is no known photo of her. Sad! Hopefully, one day, we will discover one!
