We are the chosen
In each family there are those who seem to be called to find our ancestor’s. A mission, if you will, to put
flesh on the bones and make them whole again. A mission to tell the story and to somehow show that
they know those who went before us and that we approve. We do not view genealogy as a cold
gathering of facts, rather we see it as breathing life into all those who preceded us. Those of us on this
mission are the story- tellers. Every family has at least one, as if it were in their genes. We feel the cry
from those before us, asking for their story to be told. A cry to write the story of their lives. In doing so,
we not only find them, but a part of ourselves.
How many graves have we stood before and wondered of the family member buried therein. What was
their story, how we wish they were here to tell us. How many times have we wondered, would they be
proud of the heritage that we have carried forward. Would they approve of us and accept us without
question. How many times have we felt the love pour from us when having memories and feeling that
they are somehow here with us.
We see our mission as more than just the documentation of facts. Beyond that, our concern goes to
seeing a cemetery about to be lost to vegetation and the indifference of others. We see our mission as
one of not letting the disrespect of others govern our direction, and saying, we can’t let this happen. We
cherish their memories as they are the flesh of my flesh and the bones of my bones. They are our pride
and heritage. We respect the many hardships and sorrow they suffered. We think of their losses. We
are thankful of their diligence, never giving in to hardship or just giving up.
With deep pride, we are thankful of the hardships they overcame to give us the chance to be what we
are today. We have a deep and immense understanding and appreciation of what they did for us, and
this nation. Theirs was a battle to insure we can live with freedom and the right to be what we are or
may want to be. With each scribing of fact, we think of them with love, feeling that call to tell their
story. Following us, there will be another generation to answer the call and take their place in a long
line of family storytellers. Like ours, their effort will be a labor of love. Love of the memories and that
feeling of belonging.
This is the very reason we have undertaken this effort, a mission of telling their story. This was our
opportunity to step up and put flesh on the bone. We have that chance now and have risen to the task,
but for others ----How many times?

Preface
Documentation found for our earliest know ancestor, Robert Darbro, indicated that he was born in
Pennsylvania. My limited research of that Pennsylvania connection indicated that he most likely came
from the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania area. Earlier family researchers have told of the belief that
his trek to Kentucky was by way of the Ohio River. At this point in my research that is an unknown,
but it may very well be true. Additional research is necessary prior to making any judgement as to
where his journey began or ended.
It is a known fact that our early family married into families that settled to Kentucky, arriving through
the Cumberland Gap from Virginia, many of them Irish. In fact, our state of Kentucky was formed
from a portion of Virginia. I will attempt to explain how history may have contributed to the migratory
movement of our Irish Ancestors, using as my reference a book entitled "The Scotch-Irish of Colonial
Pennsylvania". It was written by Wayland F. Dunaway about 1944, and appears to have been
copyrighted by The University of North Carolina Press.
Many believe that our earliest ancestors came from coastal bordering states, such as North Carolina,
Virginia or South Carolina, believing them to have landed on the coast line of such a state and moving
westward. Some are of the belief that those ships carrying immigrants were "aimed" west toward the
United States, praising God that they would crash on dry land, no matter the location. Navigation was
perceived incapable of pinpointing an exact arrival location.
The greatest relative importance of Irish migration to America was from 1770 to 1775, with the first
wave, of many hundreds of ships, arriving in 1717-1718. The second, and an even greater number
arriving in 1717/1729. This does not mean those were the only dates, just the more significant.
Pennsylvania was their favorite Colony, with the earliest immigrants first populating the coastal areas
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York, as examples. Once those areas
became heavily populated many began moving inland to Lancaster County, located about 45 miles west
of Philadelphia.
The first major spread westward began during the 1720's, to what is now known as the Cumberland
Valley. History tells us of the ill feelings between the German and Irish Camps of Pennsylvania around
1740, with many a riot occurring during elections. As a result, the Penn Agents were instructed to sell
no land to those of Scotch-Irish descent. Rather, they were instructed to make very attractive offers for
acquiring their land. The "clannish" nature of the Scotch-Irish helped persuade them to readily accept
those generous offers for their land, hoping for resettlement in a district they might call their own.
Others, less fortunate were merely squatters on the land they occupied, thus proving no obstacle to
3
their relocation to a beautiful and fertile section. This is not to say that all relented to the pressures of
relocation. Those remaining were soon hedged in by an increasing number of German immigrants,
finding themselves in an uncongenial environment.
Many who sold their land attempted a more westward movement, but were obstructed or checked by
the mountain barrier, resulting in their migration direction being diverted south into Maryland. Some
may have even dared to cross the mountains, locating even further west to the area we now know as
Pittsburg. These conditions brought about the first phase of Scotch-Irish settlement in Pennsylvania, it
extending from the Delaware to the Susquehanna, and from the Susquehanna to the Alleghenies, and
then on to Virginia.
Once the "Valley of Virginia" opened up for settlement during the mid-1730's, the clannish Irish were
on the move once again. Masses moving to those unpopulated areas of "Borden Grant" and "Beverly
Grant", both located in Virginia. Today they are known to us as Staunton, Lexington, and Fincastle, all
located within a 90-mile stretch. During the early 1740's, a steady stream of Irish were pouring from
Pennsylvania in to the Valley of Virginia, urged on by the fact that one could purchase 3 times as much
land there for the same money. That movement becoming more southward and westward as time went
on. Eventually moving southward to North and South Carolina, then westward through the
Cumberland Gap to Kentucky.
I have read of the suggestion that the large Plantation Owners encouraged such movement as a cushion
to them against Indian attacks. While not all of the migrating settlers were Scotch/Irish, some were of
German descent as well, but it was the hearty stock of the Scotch/Irish that nearly always was on the
leading edge of migratory movement. As Pioneers, they were the advance guard, blazing the trail
through the wilderness, far out into the wilderness. They were the first-line of defense against the
savages, bearing the brunt of the Indian Wars, while courageously enduring the hardships of pioneer
life.
During the late 1740's a swelling tide of immigrants gathered force, rolling even farther South and
Westward. By 1750 their numbers were continually increasing until about the time of the Revolution.
The majority of those settlers in the Valley of Virginia were Scotch/Irish, many were German with a
smaller group being English and Welsh. In 1764 alone, over a thousand immigrant Irish wagons had
passed through Salisbury, NC, occupying a large area between the Catawaba and Yadkin, with, large
numbers settling in Granville Orange, Rowan Mecklenberg, Guilford, Davidson, and Cabarrus
Counties of North Carolina. The Carolina Piedmont, commonly involved two or three generations of
Scotch/Irish and German Pioneers, each generation moving farther into the wilderness. It has been said
that at least half of the residents of Virginia were first in Pennsylvania in the early 1700's, be they Irish,
German, English, Welsh, or whatever. Be conscious of the fact that many a language barrier existed,
which I am sure caused many problems. As time went on, the language gradually changed to English,
calming the division factor. The hostilities subsided and we became one nation of Americans.

Kentucky Heritage
Documentation of our family can be found in Kentucky as early as 1800, although they may have been
here in the latter 1700’s. I will pursue this documentation later, but first I would like to provide you
with some insight for the historical formation of Kentucky and those counties we have come to call
home.
As a state, Kentucky was formed in 1780 from Kentucky County, Virginia, one of three existing
counties of Virginia. The new State of Kentucky consisted of 3 original counties, Lincoln, Jefferson and
Fayette. It was not until 1785 that additional counties were established, those as breakaway land
portions from the original 3 counties.
Gallatin County was formed in 1799 from portions of Franklin and Shelby counties becoming our 30th
county and thought to have been our original home county. It was named for Albert Gallatin, a Swiss
native who became Secretary of the Treasury under President Jefferson. The county seat, Warsaw,
first named Fredericksburg was founded on the Ohio River about 1800 with eleven flatboats of
pioneers landing to establish a settlement. The boat timers were split and built into temporary cabins,
which joined the homes of settlers who had earlier arrived from Virginia, travelling overland by way of
the Cumberland Gap. Fredericksburg was changed to Warsaw in 1831 and established as the county
seat.
Northern Gallatin County has magnificent views of the Ohio River. Overlooking the river at the west
end of Warsaw is the old Payne Manor, a rambling Greek revival home built in 1850 by the son of a
Revolutionary War officer, General John Payne. Present day Gallatin County is the location of
Markland Dam, which was completed in 1963 and is located 3 ½ miles downstream from Warsaw on
highway US42. The 1,416-foot dam is an important part of the Ohio navigation system, consisting of 12
gates, each 42-feet high. There is a highway linking Kentucky and Indiana with an observation
platform overlooking the locks and river. Prior to the dam, three ferries were known to have operated
nearby. I am aware of one operating from Carrollton to Lamb, Indiana and one from Ghent to Vevay,
Indiana.
As stated earlier, Robert Debro (Darbro) is said to have traveled to Kentucky by way of the Ohio
River. Wesley Darbro tells of obtaining this information from Forest Darbro who indicated that three
Darbro (Debro) brothers floated down the Ohio River from Pennsylvania, settling in Gallatin County.
5
Dorothy Dailey, at a later time, gave their names as Robert, Daniel and Benjamin. The story relates
that Daniel and Benjamin became unhappy and returned to Pennsylvania. Another story relates to one
brother getting into trouble causing him to leave Kentucky, apparently returning to Pennsylvania and
changing his name. I have never seen documentation of the two brothers, but have found a fairly
complete documentation of Robert Darbro and his wife and children, which is the basis of this writing.
Gallatin, Owen and Henry County are the primary areas where our earliest known Kentucky ancestor,
Robert Darbro, was documented. Gallatin County has the first known documentation of his Kentucky
ties, that information in an 1809 tax listing, ten years after the 1799 formation of Gallatin County.
While this is the earliest documentation I have been able to verify, I think he was in Kentucky previous
to that. An example, confirming my belief, would be information I have read stating that Thomas was
born and lived his early childhood on Stephens Creek in Henry County. Another conformation would
be from the marriage application for Thomas and Alcy, a second wife, when Thomas related to his
birthplace as Henry County. Considering his 1802 birth, this would support my suspicion of the family
locating to Kentucky in the latter part of the 1700’s.
Conflicting statements to this theory can be found in the 1900 Carroll Co. census of the household of
Eli James McGavock “Mack” Darbro, a son of Thomas, stating that his father was born in Indiana.
More recently, I obtained a copy of the death certificate of John W. Darbro, which indicates that his
father Thomas was born in Woodford County, and his mother Elizabeth was born in Garrard County.
Ica Smith, a granddaughter to Thomas provided the death certificate information. On a value basis I
am more inclined to accept the word of Thomas over that of others. As for Elizabeth Alcorn, I am
aware that her family arrived in Mercer County, Kentucky about 1788/1789 from Virginia.
Documentation of 1734 John Alcorn, her grandfather, can be found in 1789 Mercer County. I am also
aware of information indicating an Alcorn family resided in Henry County during 1811. Then we know
of their later documentation in Gallatin County.
Let me provide you with some background information for the formation of some of the counties of
interest to us. Woodford County was proposed as a county in 1788, with the final formation occurring
in 1789 from a portion of Fayette County. It would have encompassed the area bordering the Ohio
River from a point located about where present-day Carrollton is, to and including present day Kenton
County to the north. The most distant southern point was present day Woodford County. Included
within its boundary would have been present day Gallatin, Boone, Kenton, Grant, Owen, Scott, and a
portion of Henry County.
1792 saw Woodford divided, losing present day Boone, Kenton, Grant, Scott and a portion of Owen
Counties to the formation of Scott County, an adjoining county to the north and east. Shelby County
would have been located on its border to the west. The areas of Gallatin, Carroll, a portion of Owen,
and Henry Counties were retained in Woodford County.
1797 was when Woodford County was reduced in size to the approximate present day Woodford
County. Our home area, known as Woodford County, including Franklin County, then became
Franklin County. It remained as such until 1799 when Henry and Gallatin Counties were formed.
Gallatin taken from Franklin, including that portion of present day Owen County adjacent to Eagle
Station. Henry was formed from a portion of Shelby County. Please relate this to the information of the
birthplace of 1802 Thomas Darbro.
Scott County, as well, was reduced during 1797 to the approximate present day size, with the larger
portion forming Campbell County, which consisted of the present day Grant, Boone and Campbell
6
Counties. Campbell County splitting during 1799 into Boone, Pendleton and Campbell. 1819 was the
year that gave birth to Owen County, formed from portions of Scott, Pendleton, Franklin and Gallatin
Counties.
Carroll County, the current location of Eagle Station, was formed in 1838 from portions of Gallatin,
Henry and Trimble counties. While this gives a fair representation of what transpired and the period
that it occurred, it is a generalized representation. Some minor land adjustments may have occurred
that are not included here, but this is the major transformation process. This should provide you with
an understanding of the area and it's transformation, most likely indicating that our family remained
in that general area, within a radius of 20-30 miles of Dallasburg for approximately 50 years before the
migration by some, to Indiana in the mid 1850’s. Previously, what was thought to be frequent
movement from county to county may have been transformation of the area as represented above.
I believe that Robert and his wife settled around an area in present Owen County near the Kentucky
River, possibly near the town of Dallasburg, currently known as Wheatley. His occupation was known
to have been a Hatter, possibly practicing that trade near the bustling towns of Sanders, Monterey and
Lockport. I mention Robert as living near this area due to the warehousing operation located at
Lockport, and the subsequent shipping operation occurring out of Lockport to New Orleans. His
occupation may lend reason as to why we have never known or found documentation of him owning
farmland. Likewise, it could explain his relocation to the Lockport area, following the death of his wife,
which I believe to have occurred prior to 1833. I base this on:
1. 1830 Gallatin County census record for Thomas and Elizabeth contained a female fitting the age
approximate to that of Robert’s wife. I have stated that entry to have been the mother of Elizabeth, but
she may also have been the mother of Thomas. I was unable to locate any census or tax information for
Robert in 1830, which may indicate movement.
2. Robert seemed to have lived in Gallatin County for the period 1809-1826, Sugar Creek being the
most likely location. 1827-1831 tax information seemed to indicate a more likely location of Owen
County or an unstable period. The next period of stability occurred in 1834 Henry County and lasted
for the remained of his life. I believe he was remarried during that period with his death coming about
1852. From all indications he was living with George Troxell in Henry County, most likely where he is
buried. While this may lend some validity to my beliefs, I am still troubled with some facets of my
thought process. Consider if Robert was born about 1770, he would have been 32 when Thomas was
born. That seems rather late for a first child. Then consider the fact that Thomas stated that he was
born in Henry County which was formed in 1799. Would Robert have arrived in Fredericksburg by
boat, moved inland to Henry County, later returning to the Gallatin area?
Considering that Robert was living with George Troxell, verified in the 1850 Henry County census
record, I have to believe they lived near each other at some period of time. This could have occurred at
the time when Thomas was born at Stephens Creek. It is located very near a branch of Six-Mile Creek
and Harper’s Ferry, both in Henry County and linked to George Troxell and some members of his
family. George owned a farm on Six-Mile Creek with his daughter Rebecca and her husband John
Blackaby owing a country store in the Harper Ferry area. Both Rebecca and John are buried at Grub
Ridge, a location very near the former Harper Ferry site. Would this be significant?
A study of the records makes me realize that the majority of the information I have seen for Robert
and his children, other than 1809-1826 has a Henry County connection. Prior to 1827 Robert and his
family seemed very intact with Thomas and Robert living in the same general area. Then we see the
sudden instability occurring around 1828-1833 and then another period of stability occurring from
1834-1852 in Henry County. Would this have any meaning, considering the fact that I believe that the
7
mother of Thomas may have been living with him upon her death? I believe so, but I am not sure what.
Thomas and his family were known to have been farmers, substantiated with land tax records for
himself, as well as for his sons John W. and Robert the husband of Amanda, who must have died
young. The land ownership started in Owen County, ending in Carroll County. An assessment of the
records would indicate that Thomas lived very near Dallasburg/Sanders/Eagle Station throughout his
adulthood. The majority being in Carroll County with the possibility that the transformation of Carroll
County from a portion of Owen County may have contributed to his taxing location.
William, the second son of Robert Sr. is found in the 1848 Henry County tax record owing farm land in
Henry County, located along the "Little Kentuc River", indicating a location near Lockport, but back
toward present day Carroll County. I am familiar with that waterway, as family on my mother's side
owned farmland there for many years. I bathed and swam in that waterway many times. Sure beat the
washing tub and cranking water from the cistern. An early version of “having running water”!!
Thomas and James William, the children of 1817 Robert Jr., the last son of Robert, owned Owen
County farm property, most likely very near "Whiteshead Hill" which is near the former Bethel
Church. I base this on the fact that the Bethel Church records have them listed as members. Based on
the total acreage, the land owned by Thomas and James William was likely passed to them following
the marriage of their mother, Martha, to Moses Jackson. At a later time Thomas and his family
relocated to Marion County, Indiana where he died, a fact verified by a copy of his death certificate
given to us by Douglas. It was indicated that his remains were returned to Eagle Station for burial. I
am not sure of the exact burial location, but I assume it to be the Darbro Cemetery. Many members of
this family can be connected to Dallasburg (Wheatley) and the Worthville area by church and cemetery
records, with James and wife buried in the Worthville Cemetery.
The Demise of Eagle Station
Eagle Station at the turn of the 20th century was a bustling little town which received it's growth from
it's location on the Louisville and Nashville (Short Line) Railroad. It has since almost completely
disappeared. Some remaining building foundations are still visible.
It was first settled about 1846 and like most of the towns along Eagle Creek, the early attraction was a
gristmill known as Johnson's Mill. This was where grain from the region was taken for grinding. I
mention this because early Kentucky laws forbade the erection of water mills any closer than five miles
apart.
In 1867 when the Short Line Railroad (Lexington, Louisville and Covington R. R.) was completed,
Thomas Long was the first agent and from that time to the turn of the century Eagle Station was a very
busy place. It was the main shipping point for the northern portion of Owen County around
Dallasburg (Wheatley), as well as a large section of Carroll County. Located in the town were several
large general stores, which are said to have done some good business. The Duvall brothers who lived
just outside the town owned one of those, later selling it to Blant Ribelin. Stanley Adams had a butcher
shop and Tilden Rosell kept a hotel. John McDarment had a drug and grocery store combined. Dr.
Elkins was the first physician mentioned living in the town; but many years later Dr. Darbro practiced
there before moving to Sanders. He was the son of John Darbro whose father was one of the first
settlers of the Eagle Station section.
8
Now there is little at Eagle Station, except one general store operated by Mrs. Effie Barnes and the
Jordan Baptist Church located on the road to Worthville. The L&N Station was removed before WWII
and even the slow local trains on the Short Line did not stop at Eagle Station. Ida B. and Eddie Lewis,
lifelong residents of Eagle Station, told me of the lower portion of the town being destroyed by the 1937
flood. The upper portion of the town survived, but the demise was undeniable.
Located on the old Eagle Station/Dallasburg road was a large home named "Glenwood Hall" built by
Washington Perry, prior to the Civil War. It is an impressive home built on a lovely, natural rise.
When G. Church Minor married Washington Perry's daughter he became master of Glenwood Hall.
His son Perry Inor, lived there until John Perry bought the farm in 1932. A portion is now a private
resort, which has been arranged to accommodate small group meetings and parties. There are a
number of tastefully decorated rooms, two spacious dining areas and a large kitchen. The lodge also
serves as the clubhouse and lounge for golfers on the adjoining 18 hole Championship Course. This
road known locally as Eagle/Dallasburg was the location of the Old Eagle Creek Bridge over which
people from the Dallasburg neighborhood and points west traveled to and from Eagle Station, as Eagle
Station was the starting point by rail to Louisville and Cincinnati. Mail was brought over the bridge
after the Wheatley Post Office was established. It currently has a Worthville mailing code.

Bethel Baptist Church Records
These records can be found in the records of The Dallasburg Baptist Church, although they pertain to
the formation of the Bethel Baptist Church.
In July 1868, letters were granted to 36 members who wished to organize themselves into a church at
Bethel, KY. Six delegates from the home church were appointed to aid in the construction of a church.
A small, but pretty white frame house of worship was erected in a grove with ample room for horses
and buggies. The lot was a few hundred yards beyond the old cemetery on Highway 227, which leads to
the hill (Whiteheads Hill) overlooking the river valley.
The old Bethel Church records are located at Dallasburg Baptist Church, and were given to them by
Margaret Towles and Alice Forsee, whose ancestors (Brocks) were members there.
Excerpts from the Bethel Baptist Church records
The records of the church indicate that a Baptist and Methodist Congregation shared the building.
They had alternating meeting times and equal maintenance responsibilities, resulting in many
disagreements over maintenance of the building. One particular business meeting mentions that the
Baptists voted to paint one half of the building and one half of the church pews because the Methodists
would not agree to pay for one half of the total bill.
Record entries indicate that the original building was replaced with a new one and dedicated on July 5,
1881. Rev. W. H. Williams delivered the dedicatory sermon. No mention is made of the Methodists
after the new building was dedicated.
According to the Bethel Church record book, when the congregation disbanded (no specific date), the
building was sold December 10, 1925 for $250.00 and the money derived from the sale was donated to
the Children's Home at Glendale. Tradition says that the old church building was moved to a
neighboring farm and transformed into a barn. This is believed to be the barn that is located on the
Donald Stafford farm overlooking the river valley at Whiteheads Hill.

The Darbro Cemetery
Located adjacent to the current Jordan Baptist Church site in Eagle Station. The cemetery is located
14
just across the highway, in front of the church, and a 100 yards, or so, back toward Worthville. It is
accessed by-way of a private driveway over the railroad tracks, currently on private property, the
condition deplorable. The surroundings have junk everywhere, although the cemetery itself is enclosed
with a fence. I discussed the cemetery with the current landowner and he explained that he had erected
the fence and cleared some of the overgrowth after purchasing the property. I can bear witness that I
did see the remaining stumps of some small trees. He indicated that the previous owner had used the
cemetery location as a hog lot, apparently resulting in the loss of some headstones, as many are missing
or destroyed.
Headstones were visible for:
 J. W. Darbro, born December 26, 1860, died January 26, 1881, the inscription read “Our brother’s
blest who is at rest with Christ forever more”.
G.W. Darbro, born January 13, 1833, died February 9, 1884, sharing the other side of the monument
for J. W. Darbro.
 Allie, wife of J.D. Williams, died September 15, 1891, aged 20 years, her inscription read “ Go and
dwell with him above Happy with the Saviors love”.
Sophia, wife of J.W. Darbro, born August 18, 1855, died August 19, 1881, her inscription read “ Her
end was peace”.
 Rettie, daughter of N.T. and J. Darbro, born March 16, 1877, died May 19, 1877, the inscription
reading “ Weep not father and mother for me for I am waiting in glory for thee”.
This proved to be an emotional experience, both for the significance of locating the cemetery for the
first time, and then witnessing the unscrupulous condition of that Holy ground. The cemetery record
indicates 13 known burials, of which we found only 5. That would indicate the degree of desecration
that has taken place.
 G. W. Darbro- born January 13, 1833, died February 9, 1884.
 N.T. Nathaniel Darbro, born August 8, 1849, husband of Julia Stamper Darbro.

Barksdale and Mrs. Robert White.

when at rest with Christ forever more"
 Sophia Darbro, wife of J.M. Darbro, born August 18, 1858, died August 19, 1881. "Her end was
peace"
 Sarah Emma Darbro, born September 12, 1862, died September 12, 1920, age 58. Wife of Robert
Lewis Darbro. Parents were John and Martha Bowling Littrell, Carroll County.

Littrell Darbro.

Eagle Station School Cemetery.
It is located just off highway 36 at the junction of hwy 36 and the turn for Eagle Creek Recreation area.
Immediately, after turning off hwy 36 the cemetery is on the right about a 100 feet off the road. Mary,
Eddie, Ida B., my wife, and I just recently visited this cemetery. Eddie and Ida B. Lewis are lifetime
residents of this area. No Darbro names were found, and Mary has verified that no Darbro names
appear in the listing of burials.
John W. Darbro Farm Cemetery
Located behind the John Darbro farmhouse just off hwy 36 after the Ghent-Eagle Station Road. This
would be between current day Eagle Station and the old Dallasburg road, which currently leads to
Eagle Creek Recreation Park. I believe this to be the cemetery that Wesley described visiting. Ida B.
recently told me she had talked with Mrs. Burns, who indicated that only Bruce, Furnish and a few
others were buried there. Wesley Darbro provided information for the following burials. This cemetery
and farm are adjacent to a farm owned by Thomas Darbro at the time of his death in 1875. It bordered
the Ghent-Eagle Station Road and the John W. Darbro Farm. This may be where Thomas was buried.

18
Located on Stafford Road, which is a couple of miles from the Eagle Station turn-off of highway 36. I
have never been able to locate it, but have been told it is on the right hand side of Stafford Ridge Road
in a wooded area. Usually a large truck is parked at a large brick home, which is just before the
cemetery. A listing on the Carroll County Web site indicates that no family members are buried there.

Research Background
I think it of special importance that you understand the method I have used for compiling the
information contained in this book. Knowing that several family members had been doing extensive
research for years, I decided to contact those individuals, hoping that they would be willing to share
their information for consolidation into a book format. My role was to become the messenger, as I had
very little to contribute from a genealogy view. I found that some were receptive to this concept and
very willing to share the information they had compiled, others less inclined. Everyone seemed to share
the same wish, to have a complete and accurate historical document for use by everyone.
My special thanks go to each of those individuals, not only for sharing their information, but their
participation in an ongoing effort to clarify and correct some earlier research mistakes. I am sure there
were times when many wished they had never heard of me, or that I would just go away. Dorothy
Dailey has said on several occasions that she had never had contact with anyone that had so many
22
questions. As we know, she was among the very first researchers and her information was used by
many of us as gospel. She provided me with a portion of her research information, providing a very
valuable base for the additional research I had to perform. Her tax-based records opened many doors
that may have never been opened. Most certainly, that was the basis of my resulting tax record
education, obtained from many trips to The Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Another early historian and storywriter was Wesley Darbro. I located and have included some of his
stories that he documented and wrote over the years. My biggest breakthrough was when Charlotte
Darbro Smith and her husband John sent me a copy of the vast amount of information they compiled
during their many hours of travel and family visitations in search of genealogy information. She told
me of spending their vacation and weekends going from town to town in search of family, or
researching. Their information included stories written by various family members, which has been
included without change.
Special thanks to Mary Hanlon Knapp for sharing her considerable knowledge and collection of
documents of the Kentucky and Indiana group. She has been researching for many years and willing
shared everything in her collection. She was especially helpful in making most of her information
available in a format easily adaptable to my program. She worked very hard to insure a correct and
complete documentation, proofing me along the way and catching many of my mistakes. Additionally,
she did a lot of web research when problems occurred.
A special thanks to Ed Darbro for sharing the Pennsylvania headstone pictures of 1804 Jacob Darbro
and his wife Susanne. Ed told of a friend touring Muddy Creek Cemetery in Denver, Pennsylvania
when he saw those two Darbro tombstones. The friend passed the information to Ed, who
photographed them. Just recently I was corresponding with Capri Nolt, assistant administrator of the
Muddy Creek church. He told me of an additional grave located next to Jacob and Susanna, which
proved to be a daughter named Susanna, born July 22, 1824 and baptized December 26, 1824 at the
Muddy Creek Lutheran Church under the last name of “Debry”. Her baptismal sponsor was Sarah
Gotz. Jacob's wife’s maiden name was Weber, her parents being Johan Heinrick "Henry" and Eve
Weber. Johan was born January 15, 1773 in Lancaster Co., Pa., d. April 24, 1851 in Lancaster Co., Pa.
His wife Eve, was b. June 15, 1780, d. May 21, 1862. Both are most likely buried at Muddy Creek
Cemetery. It has not been established what relationship, if any, Sarah Gotz would have been. Mary,
through her Pennsylvania research has learned that Jacob and Susannah had additional children. The
total number has not been determined, but we are aware of, (1) Susannah named above. (2) Sarah, b.
1828MC, (3) Mary, b. 1830, (4) Elizabeth, b. 1833MC. I am not sure what the MC meaning was, but I
have assumed it to have some form of relation to Muddy Creek. I have included this information in the
Unattached Information Section, which is the very last page of this document. With the information of
Jacob and the census confirmation of Robert being born in Pennsylvania, we have a direct connection
to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This would confirm that other family remained in Pennsylvania
following Robert's move to Kentucky. Other interesting names can be found in the Pennsylvania census
records of this same area. I see a possibility of forming a connection.
I could go on and on about the assistance I have had, but those that contributed know who they are and
I thank everyone of them. Preparing this document has been a very long and time-consuming process. I
have attempted to check everything for accuracy and completeness, with the goal of having the very
best information possible for this presentation. Even so, some areas of confusion still exist. I have
attempted to outline them as areas needing clarification or possible additional research. Knowing that
some of this information may be incomplete or inaccurate, I submit this report as being the best
possible explanation of the information available at this time. Some assumptions have been made, but

not without background and considerable investigation. I hope that future researchers, with this
document as a base, will find information that will give us a better understanding and a more complete
record. I know, even at this writing, we are finding something new on a daily basis. Without doubt this
will be an ongoing project.
Another important source of information was from the various genealogy histories posted on the web.
Not only did they provide new information, they proved to be a source of verification for many facts
and dates. I was especially surprised, once parental links began to occur, to find the numerous
marriages that occurred between the Darbro, Swango, Jackson, Bruce and Alcorn families. Then came
the exodus, with many moving to Indiana. We began to see a more westerly movement occurring in the
mid 1800’s. That becomes more apparent around the time of the civil war. Some of our own family was
sympathetic to the Union, others to the Confederacy. As Wesley correctly stated, this most likely was a
dividing factor, resulting in the movement of some to Indiana, mostly around Greene and Marion
Counties.
Finally, we have to extend a “very special thank you” to Ann Scudder of the IOOF Cemetery,
Carrollton, KY. She has been a valuable source of information to Mary over the years, opening many
doors when all seemed lost. Without her assistance, we would not be enjoying much of the vast amount
of information included herein.
I hope you enjoy this presentation and will form an appreciation for who we are and where we came
from. Again, thanks to everyone that furnished information and participated by providing your
information for all of us to enjoy. My wish is that this effort is worthy of our family heritage.

Descendants of Robert Darbro
Robert Darbro was born 1770 in Pennsylvania, and is believed to have died January 20, 1852 in Henry
Co., KY. He married (1) Mrs. Robert Darbro about 1799. She was born about 1774. I believe her death
to have been prior to 1833. This marriage approximation is listed with an LDS references batch
number 9093803, Source call number 1553888, and sheet 4. Robert married (2) Allen (Possibly Ellen)
Daniel on December 15, 1834 in Henry Co., KY.
In an early letter from Dorothy Dailey, she told of wanting to write a book “From Hugh to You", but
first she had to make the connection of Hugh Durborow to Robert Darbro. She related to the fact that
Hugh had 12 children in the 1600’s and there was a family named Hunt in Ogden, Utah that had made
a straight connection, through a daughter of Hugh, to Robert. She told of tracking down and visiting
24
this family, unable to obtain any information. The older male was too advanced in age to furnish the
information; the remaining family members were just not interested. To my knowledge no connection
was ever established. If so, it has not been made public. There are some very good possible connections,
other than Hugh, that was never researched. One example would be the grave markers of Jacob,
Susanna Darbro and their daughter Susanna buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery, Denver
Pennsylvania. That family and their monuments are the earliest known spelling of our name, as it exists
today.
Jacob was born in 1804 at the time Robert was in Kentucky. At my request, the church records of
Muddy Creek Lutheran Church were searched, indicating that Susanna, a daughter, was born July 22,
1824 and died September 28, 1827. Her baptism was at the church on December 26, 1824, with her
sponsor being Sarah Gotz, most likely the mother of Jacob’s wife. The church record show the name
spelled as Derbey, not the Darbro recorded on their tombstone markers. At a later time, I located this
spelling in an 1870 Pennsylvania census record, roll 1355, and page 342. The record read “Jacob
Derbey, age 66, born in Pennsylvania, living in Lancaster County, Adamstown Boro.” Ed Darbro, just
recently, gave me information indicating that Jacob was listed as a hatter, and an employee of an
Adamstown, PA. Hat company during 1869 and 1870. The Bollman Hat Company, is still a major
employer in that area.

Jacob Darby is in the 1840 Pennsylvania census, page 393, Lancaster County, E Cocali Township,
very near Adamstown. Jacob was the son of William Derbro, who was found in the 1800
Pennsylvania census, page 208, Lancaster County. Isaac and Frederick, possibly brothers to Jacob,
are in census information for that general area.
William Derbore in the 1810 Pennsylvania census, Daup County, page 018, Harrisburg.
1820 Pennsylvania census with William Darberow, Adams County, page 074, Mt. Joy Twp.
1830 Pennsylvania census with William L. Derbro, Mont.County, page 214, Norristown.
John Derbey, age 50, born in England. Found in an 1870 Pennsylvania, Delaware County,
Delaware N-WD Chester census, roll 1336, and page 99.
Previously, the earliest records were those found of Robert Debro in the tax records of 1809 Gallatin
Co., Kentucky. Please note the consistency with the Pennsylvania census information. When considered
in context, we find a Jacob Darbro (Derbey) who was born in Pennsylvania in 1804, possibly a son of
William Derbro of Mt. Joy Twp., who would have been born about the same period as Robert Debro
(Darbro). Then we have the information of Isaac and Frederick, possible brothers to Jacob. Such
compelling information would most certainly suggest a strong possibility of a connection to our family
and worthy of additional research. This may very well open up the mystery of our origin, which I
might add was the original basis of my involvement. Additionally, I think we can correctly assume that
the 1809 spelling of Robert Debro was not a clerical error, as it was suspected to be. Finally, consider
that Robert is documented in census information as being born in Pennsylvania. Equally, I must ask
that you consider the many errors and spelling versions we have seen while preparing this document.
Many times the documents were signed differently from the clerical entry.
Notes for Robert Darbro
Mary Knapp told of a letter she received from Nancy Darbro of Florida stating that Dorothy had
previously told her that Daniel and Benjamin were brothers of Robert, and spoke of a chart listing the
three brothers. The chart had Daniel with John and James. Robert was shown with Thomas, Nancy,
and William; Benjamin with Sarah, Robert Jr., and Francis. Mary assumed this to be an old chart that
was never corrected to the more current thinking. She went on to say, that in a later letter to Dorothy,
25
she mentioned this and was told that she was probably the one who told Nancy of the two brothers,
stating that the 1809 tax records contained entries for Robert, Daniel and what appeared to be
Benjamin. Daniel Debro found in an 1810 census record, page 189 with one son under 10. I must state
that I have never found those records during my extensive research of the tax or census records. I was
shown a copy of an 1800 Gallatin County census record, said to have those names, but it was not
persuasive, at least to me.
To my knowledge, Robert Debro was first found in the Tax Records of 1809 Gallatin Co., KY. Dorothy
correctly pointing out that this would not mean that he was not there previously, just that this is when
he was first found. Having no knowledge of tax records, I immediately asked if this may indicate a date
of birth, since inclusion to this list occurred once a male became 21 years of age, the information used
to maintain a militia register. That requirement was enacted in 1821, along with a listing of school age
children aged 4-14. The record contained only the number of children, not an actual name or age.
Names, other than the head of the household, began appearing in the census records of 1850. So, while
tax lists and early census records can be a good “rule of thumb”, they can cause some miscalculation of
age or other assumed facts, especially if you are not knowledgeable as to the progressive requirements
of these lists. Another required entry was upon marriage
Chronological information for Robert Darbro
 1800 Gallatin County Tax Record information was submitted by Dorothy. It had Robert Debro
with Daniel and Benjamin. I have searched this record on three occasions, never finding the Debro
name. I have seen an 1800 census record that was said to contain this spelling and could be the
entry Dorothy was alluding to, although her entry is for a tax record, not a census entry. I remain
unconvinced that Robert was in that census record, but can't be assured that I am correct in that
assessment. Not wanting to minimize the importance of this statement, I searched Fayette,
Woodford, Franklin, and Shelby Counties, as they would have been the parent counties of Gallatin
County. I found no documentation. As stated earlier, I have to raise the question about Gallatin
County being the original family home location. Especially given the fact that Thomas was born in
1802 Henry County.
 1809 Gallatin County Tax Record, has Robert Debro. Submitted by Dorothy and verified by me.
 1810 Gallatin County Tax Records, has Robert Durbrow. Submitted by Dorothy and verified by
me.
 1810 Gallatin Co. census record, page 189 listed Robert Durbrow
1 male
26-45
(Robert),
1 male
under 10 (Thomas),
1 female
26-45
(Wife)
1 female
under 10 (Sarah). Born 1809 on her marriage document.
I have a photocopy of the above census index and record, which does verify that spelling. I think we
can safely assume that the older couple is Robert and his wife, both with a birth range of 1765/1784.
The male and female child birth range of 1800/1810 would clearly indicate them to be 1802 Thomas
26
and 1809 Sarah, a birth date verified on her marriage application to Jesse Alcorn. On that
document, which I have a copy of, she indicated that she was 21 years old in 1830, the year of origin
of the document. Robert did not sign for her marriage, but her age was attested to.
Without doubt this census record would exclude John, James and most likely Nancy as family
members. Most certainly, all would have been of an age requiring their appearance in this census,
should they have been family members. With the knowledge of John being an early research error,
I have to question if James will prove to be a Darraugh, as I suspect. Finally, consider the initial
Eagle Station information of Nancy being born in 1805 and becoming the wife of George Troxell in
1833. Since that time, the Troxell family has questioned that marriage, and has documented the
fact that the first 4 children of George Troxell, the last born in 1830, were from his marriage to
Sara Jane Rice on April 3, 1816. Then the last 7 children born during and after 1842 were the
children of George and his wife Nancy Hammonds. This would leave only 2 children, born between
1834 and 1836 as possible children of George and Nancy Darbro. An extensive research, by
Dorothy, the Troxell family, Mary, and myself, all coming up empty. Dorothy insists that she has
seen the document, but is unable to provide a copy.
One last inconsistency from the 1810 census record, would be the age range of the wife of Robert.
In this record she and Robert are of the same age range, while in the 1840 Henry County census
record, the wife is listed in an age range that would be 10 years younger. I believe this to verify my
suspicion that the first wife of Robert died in Owen County, prior to 1833. I then believe he was
remarried in 1834 to Allen ("Ellen"?) Daniel, a marriage previously assumed to be that of Robert
Jr. Consider the facts and make your own judgment, but clearly there is a change.
 1811 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Durbrow. My entry.
 1812 Gallatin County tax records had Robert Darbrow and I have verified that entry. This record
and the 1840 census appear to be the basis of the suggested 1812 birth of Nancy. See Nancy’s
record for the details of the census.
 1813 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Debro. His property was 1 horse. My entry.
 1814 Gallatin County tax record was too watering damaged to read. Douglas Andrew Darbro does
have an entry for Robert Darbro from his father’s research.
 1815 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbroo. He owned 1 horse. My entry.
 1816 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro. He had 1 horse. I have verified this. Dorothy
indicated that this entry had 8 children, which she revisited and found to be Robert Alcorn. Notice
the listing of children, not enacted until 1821.
 1817 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas Andrew Darbro. I
never saw this.
 1818 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro. He had 1 horse. My documentation.
 1819 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I never saw this.
27
 1820 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro Sugar Creek, submitted by Dorothy and
verified by me.
 1820 Gallatin Co. census, page 125, Robert Darbro, Sugar Creek. 4 males under 26, 3 females
under 10 and 1 female 16-26. Submitted by Dorothy, revisited and found to be Robert Alcorn.
 1821 tax records. I checked Gallatin, Shelby and Owen, but saw no listing.
 1822 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I visited the Owen
County tax records on 2 separate occasions, never seeing the 1822, 1823 or 1824 entries.
 1823 Owen County tax record has Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I did not see this.
 1824 Owen County tax record has Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I never saw this.
 1824 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro and Thomas Darbro, Sugar Creek, although
they are listed separately, not as one entity. Dorothy submitted this. I must admit that I never saw
this, however, just for the record, Mary said there is a Sugar Creek and a Sugar Creek cemetery in
Gallatin County. The cemetery is located where the old Church of Christ used to be, (you have to
walk a path and cross the creek to get to it), on Hwy 127 about 3-5 miles from the new Church of
Christ. She has checked the burial records there, finding nothing of interest to us. This entry, the
first for Thomas would suggest that he became 21 and most likely the basis of his birth date. Jamie
Cobb, a family member, and a lifetime resident of Sanders described Sugar Creek as "North of
Warsaw in Gallatin County, get off I-71 at exit 62 (Glencoe) and go toward Warsaw. It runs into
the Ohio River.
 1825 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro with taxable property valued at $250. My
documentation.
 1825 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro. My documentation.
 1825 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darborow. This is assumed to be the required entry
upon his marriage to Elizabeth. The over 21 column was not checked. My documentation.
 1826 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbrow and the over 21 column was checked. My
documentation. Most likely the basis of his original 1805 birth.
 1826 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro. My documentation.
 1826 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I never saw this.
 1827 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I verified this.
 1827 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. My documentation.
 1828 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I never saw this.

Dorothy told of a notation “above the Kentucky River”. Having knowledge of the area, I think this
to be the road from Worthville to Gratz, in Owen County. We believe this entry to be Thomas and
Elizabeth, with children- John W., Robert and Polly Ann. I have the death certificate for John W.
Darbro, indicating his father as Thomas and his mother as Elizabeth. Thomas was listed as born in
Woodford County, KY, and Elizabeth born in Garrard County, Ky.
 1831 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro, submitted by Douglas. I never saw this.
 1831 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbrough. He had 19 acres valued at $38. My
documentation.
 1832 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He owned 19 acres value at $38. The
waterway appeared to be Craig Creek, but that spelling could be incorrect. My documentation.
Jamie Cobb, a lifetime resident of Sanders describes Craig Creek as "South of Warsaw in Gallatin
County. Exit I-71 at Sparta Pike (Hwy 35), the exit for the Kentucky Speedway, go back toward
Warsaw. He wasn't sure of the exact route it took, but he did know that it ran from that point to
Walnut Valley Road.
 1833 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He had 20 acres on Craig Creek with no
value listed. He had 1 horse valued at $75. My documentation.
 1834 Henry County marriage record had Robert Darbo married to what appears to be Allen?
Daniel, both names vastly different from the marriage index of Robert Durburough and Alex
McDaniel. The marriage was recorded in the index as June 12, 1834, while the actual document
states December 15, 1834. Previously, this entry was assumed to be the marriage of Robert Jr.,
although we believe it to be Robert Sr. Please note that he appeared in the 1840 Henry County
census record with a wife having a 10 year age variation, as compared to the 1810 Gallatin County
census record, where they were the same age range. The original information was submitted by
Dorothy and verified by me. This is the first appearance of Robert in Henry County Tax Records
since his departure from Gallatin and Owen County tax rolls. Additionally, he never again appears
with Thomas, which makes me wonder why? I can only recall a couple of occasions when they were
in the same vicinity. The opposite being true for William and Robert Jr.
 1835 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrough, submitted by Dorothy. I have verified this
entry.
 1836 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Darbro. Dorothy stated that William was in this
29
record, although I never saw that, but I have verified the entry for Robert.
 1836 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbroro. My documentation.
 1837 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrow. He owned 3 horses. My documentation.
 1837 Henry County tax record had a 2nd Robert Darbrow, by Douglas. I never saw this. If true, this
would be Robert Jr. reaching the age of 21.
 1837 Henry County tax records had Will Darbrow. My documentation. Would this indicate that
William became 21, a marriage to Phebe on January 10, 1836, or the basis of a birth date of
William?
 1837 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbro with 1 horse valued at $60. My documentation.
 1838 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation thought this to be Sr.
 1838 Henry County tax record had a 2nd Robert Darbrow, by Douglas. I never saw this.
 1838 Henry County tax record had William Darbrow. He had 1 horse valued at $30. My
documentation.
 1839 Henry Co. tax record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation.
 1839 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro-Son. This was the first time I found an entry for
Robert Jr. This would be consistent with a birth date of 1817-1818. My documentation.
 1839 Henry County tax record had William Darbrow. My documentation.
 1839 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbrow with 2 horses valued at $60. My
documentation.
 1840 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbrow. Submitted by Dorothy.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 270 has William Darboo. 1 male under 5 (1835/1840), 1 Male 20-30
(1810/1820), 1 female under 5 (1835/1840), 1 female 20-30 (1810/1820). I assume this to be William
& Phebe Darbro and family.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 274 has Robert Darboo. Please note the inconsistency in spelling as to
previous entries and tax record. This would have to be Robert Jr. Darbro. The listing is 1 male
under 5 (1835/1840), 1 male under 30 (1810/1840). This child would match exactly Thomas Darbro,
born 1836-1840, or James William born December 1839.
Then consider the 1834 marriage that we believed to be Robert Sr. If we were
Wrong in our assessment, this would fit nicely with that marriage. Could the Allie Daniel, have
gone by a nickname of Martha and the mother of the children above. The same Martha later
appearing in an 1860 Owen County census with all their children, following the assumed death of
Robert Jr. Please recall we have never seen a marriage for a Martha Blom Mullikin, the supposed
30
daughter of William and Sarah “Sally” Mullikin of Henry County. When I asked Dorothy where
this came from, she replied that the Indiana group supplied it. I take that to mean the family of
Joseph Paul Darbro. I must state that it was not part of the package of information Douglas
Andrew presented, which was his father’s research.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 281 has Robert Darboo. His family includes 1 male under 60. 1 female
under 40-50. I verified this census data. It was especially interesting, as the age of the female
conflicts with the age of the female in the 1810 census. This is our basis for the assumption of
Robert Sr.’s the one married to Alex McDaniel.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 281 had George Troxall. The listing was- 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10,
1 male 10-15, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 10-15, 2 females 15-20 and 1 female 20-30. Please note the
inconsistency of the dates of the birth range for the wife, and the 1805 (later revised to 1809) birth
we were given for Nancy.
 More striking would be the comparison to the original 1805 birth given by Dorothy, and later
changed to 1812. I am not sure why these revisions occurred, but they seem to be a manipulation of
the record to agree with a current thought process. I have to stay with the documentation that
clearly proves that Sarah was born in 1809, the only female child appearing in the 1810 Gallatin
County census for Robert Sr. George and Nancy are claimed, by some, to have been married in
1833, a claim remaining undocumented, even with all the extensive research. I know I personally
checked the Gallatin, Henry and Owen County marriages and was unable to locate the entry, doing
so only because the Troxell family had questioned this marriage. Then consider that Nancy was not
in the 1810 census entry. All of this a very compelling case against the existence of Nancy.
 1841 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow, Robert Darbrow-son, and William Darbro- who
had 1 horse valued at $100. They were separate entries. I have consolidated the two entries for
convenience.
 1842 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrow
 1842 Henry County tax record had William Darbrow.
 1842 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. Submitted by Dorothy.
 1843 Henry County tax Record had Robert Darbrough. Dorothy included William, which I never
saw.
 1843 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. Submitted by Dorothy.
 1844 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbro. He had 1 horse valued at $30. My documentation.
 1844 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro-son. Mary told me of an email from Dorothy
indicating his listing had 2 male children. I verified only his entry as a son. I never saw the male
children. If true, they would fit exactly Thomas and James William Darbro.
 1844 Carroll Co. Tax Record has Thomas Darbro. John W. Darbro, the first son of Thomas was
born in 1823 and should have appeared on the tax list in 1844 upon becoming 21, or being married.
31
Most certainly, prior to 1826 Robert. John is not listed until 1846. Would this indicate an
inaccurate birth and death record?
 1845 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro with 4 children, submitted by Dorothy in an
email to Mary. No children were apparent when I viewed the record. He did have 2 horses valued
at $65.
 1845 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro with 2 male children, submitted by Dorothy in
an email to Mary. No children were apparent when I viewed this, only son beside his name. This
would be Robert Jr. with 4 children that I assume to be Thomas, James W., Jane, and Mary A. All
were born at this period and fit exactly the children appearing with Martha in the 1860 Owen
County census record.
 1845 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He had 50 acres valued at $300 and 5 horses
valued at $100.
 1845 Carroll County tax record had John Darbro, over 21. He had 2 horses valued at $45. This is
his first appearance on the tax lists.
 1846 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow and George Dawbrow, submitted by Dorothy. In
an email to Mary, Dorothy told of 4 children being listed. I never saw the children listed or George
Dawbrow when I viewed this record. He still had his 2 horses valued as the same $65. I did notice
an entry for James Etherington and George Troxell living nearby. George Troxell had 50 acres
located on the waterway of 6 mile.
 1846 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He owned 84 acres on Eagle Creek valued at
$250. 5 horses valued at $100. My documentation.
 1846 Carroll County tax record had John Darbro. He had 50 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $200.
2 horses value at $40. My documentation.
 1846 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro. He owned 50 acres on Eagle Creek valued at
$150. 1 horse valued at $30. I never saw any children listed. He did marry Amanda Hornback in
1845, with an only child named Nancy. This is verified in the will of Thomas when he amended to
will to leave $200 to his granddaughter Nancy, the daughter of his son Robert. This entry would
have been required due to his marriage, even if under 21. Examine this against the version where
Dorothy told Mary that this entry was Robert Jr. with 1 child, which I never found. Then the fact
that Robert Jr. was in the 1845 Henry County Tax record with 2 children, the Owen County tax
record in 1851 through 1853 with 4 children. Finally, consider that following his conjectured 1854
death, the 4 children started appearing with Martha Darbro. I think this would justify my belief of
this being the child of 1802 Thomas Darbro, not the son of Robert Sr.
 1847 Carroll Co. tax record had Thomas Darbro with 80 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $480. 5
horses valued at $60. My documentation.
 1847 Carroll County tax record had John Darbro with 50 acres valued at $250. My documentation.
 1847 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro with 50 acres valued at $250. My
32
documentation.
 1848 Gallatin County tax record had Robert and William, submitted by Dorothy. I have never seen
this entry.
 1848 Henry County Tax Record had an entry for Will Darbo. He had 36 acres valued at $500 and
located on the waterway of Little Ky. He had 3 horses valued at $100 and 10 cattle with no value.
This is an entry not seen previously. I found this on my Kentucky History Center visit on August
14, 2001.
 1848 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro with 96 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $384,
3 horses valued at $70 and 5 children between 5-16. My documentation.
 1848 Carroll County tax records had John Darbro with 46 acres on Eagle Creek, value $230. 2
horses valued at $45. My documentation.
 1848 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro with 46 Acres on Eagle Creek valued at $184. 1
horse valued at $35. My documentation.
 1848 Owen County marriage record for Hulda Derrough, married August 1, 1848. Submitted by
Dorothy. Please note the spelling and remember the confusion of this spelling with 1800 John and
the resulting error.
 1849 Gallatin County tax record had Robert, submitted by Dorothy to me in a July 20, 2000 email.
I have never seen this entry.
 1849 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation.
 1849 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro with 103 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $550.
He had 5 horses valued at $95. 4 children were listed as between 5-16 years of age. My
documentation.
 1849 Carroll County tax record had John Darbro with 43 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $125. 3
horses valued at $75. My documentation.
 1849 Carroll County tax record has Amanda Darbro, a widow, submitted by Dorothy. I verified
this record, but did not see widow. She did replace Robert Darbro on the tax record, following his
apparent death. She had 23 acres, down from 46 acres in 1848, valued at $115 and 1 horse valued at
$35. Was there a land sale?
 1850 Henry Co. census, page 423 (Dorothy has page 846) has Robert Darborough as 80 years of age
with a corresponding birth date of 1770, his occupation listed as Hatter, born in Pennsylvania.
George Troxal is the head of the household and has additional family listed whose names I have not
duplicated here. Living next to them was John Troxal, possibly a relation of George, as he did have
a son and brother named John. However, I am inclined to think that this John was the brother.
Given the fact that Robert is living with George and a Nancy Troxell, we have to assume that
Robert’s 2nd wife died between 1840 and 1850.
33
 1850 Gallatin County census has William Darbro, age 30 in the household of Jesse Allcorn, age 44.
Phebe was the wife of Jesse, the marriage occurring October 25, 1849. Could it be that William was
injured and being cared for by his former wife and died in 1850, rather than 1849? Dorothy is
adamant about the 1849 death date, but has no supporting documentation.
 1850 Owen County census, page 235A has William Darbo. Was this William Henry? See his entry
for specifics.
 1850 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro with 103 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $515
and 4 horses valued at $100. The 1850 Carroll Co. census, page 177 has Thomas listed as 48, with
wife and children are listed as well. See his entry for details.
 1850 Carroll County tax records had John Darbro with 50 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $225 and
2 horses valued at $50. My documentation.
 1850 Carroll County tax record had Amanda with 19 acres on Eagle Creek valued at $76. Beside
Amanda’s name was “Same Agt”, which I take to indicate that she was not in the county, but being
represented. Note another decrease in acreage compared to the 1849 listing. Amanda was found in
a 1850 Harrison County census record, page HI-121, listed as Amanda Darbeaugh, age 28 born in
Kentucky with child Nancy E., age 4. They were living in the home of Jacob Albright whose age
was 26, his wife Elizabeth age 24, and children. In the same household is a Catherine age 27 born in
Kentucky and Mary age 71 born in Maryland, suggesting a mother and sister in the same
household with Jacob. Nancy is the same child that Thomas included in his will, leaving her $200
and referring to her as his granddaughter by son Robert.
 1850 Gallatin Co. Tax Record had Robert & 4 children, submitted by Dorothy. Could these
children be Thomas William, James William, Jane and Mary A.? Remember that Robert Sr. was in
Henry County living with George Troxell, 80 years of age and hardly of the age to have 4 children.
Dorothy told me there is documentation that Robert, Jr. died January 1852, which she restated as
being the death date of Robert Sr. I believe she is correct in the restatement. See the 1854 Owen
County tax record below.
 1851-1854 Carroll County tax record had John, Thomas and Amanda (John for Amanda).
Submitted by Dorothy in a July 21, 2001 e-mail to me.
 1851 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro. His property was 1 horse valued at $80, 4
children between the ages of 5-16. My documentation. Please pay special attention to the fact that
this is after Amanda appeared in the 1850 Carroll County Tax Records, and when Robert Jr. was
in the Gallatin County tax record. Was she a widow, as believed by the History Center Attendant
and myself? If so, this would clearly indicate that there was indeed a 3rd Robert, the son of 1802
Thomas Darbro.
 1852 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro with 1 horse valued at $80, 4 cattle and 3 hog
over 6 months. Additionally were 4 children between ages 5-16. My documentation. This would
clearly nullify the reported January 1852 death.
 1853 Owen County tax record had Robert Darbro with 1 horse valued at $90 and 1 head of cattle. 4
children between the age of 5-16 were listed. My documentation.
34
 1856-1858-1859 Owen County tax record had Martha with 3 children. Submitted by Dorothy to me
in a July 21, 2001 e-mail.
 1860 Owen County tax record had, what appeared to be Margaret Darbro? My wife, the history
centers attendant, and myself viewed this. All three were in agreement as to the spelling. If was
difficult to read, as it was in a shaded area. My documentation.
 1861 Owen County tax record had Martha with 2 children. Submitted by Dorothy. I have verified
this.
 1861 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbro. Submitted by Dorothy. I have verified this.
This would be documentation of 1840 Thomas reaching the age of 21 and registering for the militia,
as required by law.
 1862 Carroll County tax record had James Darbro, submitted by Dorothy in an email to Mary. I
would assume this to be when he became 21. I never saw this entry. Would this be James A.
Darbro, the son of Thomas, or James W., the son of Robert Jr.
 1862 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbrough. My documentation.
 1862 Owen County tax record had Martha Darbrough with 2 children between 6-18. My
documentation.
 1863 and 1864 Owen County tax records had no entries. My documentation.
 1865 Owen County tax records were noted to be missing. My documentation.
 1866 Owen County tax record has Thomas Darbro with 18 acres valued at $200 and 1 horse valued
at $100. My documentation.
 1866 Owen County tax record had James Darbro with 18 acres valued at $200 and 1 horse valued
at $50, 200 lbs. Tobacco and 100 Bu. Corn. My documentation. Please note that this would be
following the 1865 marriage of Martha to Moses Jackson. Would she have deeded her property
between the 2 older children, or was this James A. upon his marriage to Ella Alcorn.
 1867 Owen County tax record had James Darbrough with 36 acres valued at $350, 1 horse @ $50,
400 lbs. tobacco, 100 Bu. Corn. My documentation. Was this additional acreage the land previously
owned by Thomas, or was it James A.?
 1868 Owen County tax record has Lyman Darbrough, 21 and registering for the militia. My
documentation
 1868 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darborough with 1 horse valued at $70. My
documentation.
 1868 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darborough with 1 horse valued at $100, 100 lbs.
Tobacco. My documentation. I believe the one previous to this entry to be Thomas Daniel.
35
 1868 Owen County tax record had James Darbrough with 36 acres, located at Eagle, valued at
$350, 1 horse valued at $50, and 400-lbs. tobacco. James A., or James W.?
 1869 Owen County tax records had Thomas Darbrogh with 1 horse valued at $50, 200 Bu. Corn.
My documentation.
 1869 Owen County tax records had Lyman Darbrough with 100 Bu. Corn. My documentation.
 1869 Owen County tax records had Thomas Darbrough. Was this Thomas Daniel reaching the age
of 21? My documentation.
 1870 Owen County tax record had the three (James, Thomas Lyman) listed in 1869. My
documentation. One entry for simplification.
 1871 Owen County tax records had Thomas Darbrough. I assume this to be Thomas Daniel. My
documentation.
I have attempted to include everything found or given to me for Robert. Some of the tax list
information was furnished by Dorothy, some by Douglas Andrew Darbro from his fathers records,
some from research by Mary and the balance submitted by me or confirmed through research. Every
attempt has been made to distinguish between those entries. Some variations exist and have been noted.
Additionally, I have posed some obvious questions. I am not trying to be a critic, to the contrary. I am
simply trying to learn the truth. I am aware that sometimes that may not set well with some, but I set
no different standard for my family information than I do for other family members. However, I must
admit that I have omitted some sensitive information.
Henry County history, Cemeteries and Landmarks
Through the efforts of Mary Knapp, some Henry County landmarks have been associated with George
and Nancy Troxel. They are of special importance to us, as Robert's last appearance was in the 1850
Henry County census living in the household of George Troxell. Robert's occupation was “Hatter”,
previously thought to be "Father". He was 80 years of age. This was a period closely related to his
supposed death in 1852.
Robert first appeared in Henry County in 1835, as verified by his appearance in that tax record, under
the spelling of Robert Darbrough. Being the inquisitive person I am, I wonder why he would have
relocated at that time, and why Henry County. Was it due to the reported 1833 marriage of his
daughter Nancy to George Troxel, which I might add, is an undocumented marriage, disputed by the
Troxell family? Where was his family, and why did he return to Gallatin Co, as verified by his 1836
tax entry under the name of Robert Darbro, or was that Robert Jr.? My inclination is to believe that
this period of apparent instability might indicate the death of his wife. Then I wonder why he returns
to Gallatin County for one year, during 1836, never again returning.
William was said to have been in the 1836 Gallatin County tax record with Robert, but I was unable to
verify that from the records. If true, I am sure this was the basis of his assumed birth year of 1815. As
you recall, reaching the age of 21 required entry to the tax records for militia purposes. A militia is
explained as citizens, rather than military personnel.
36
Robert returned to Henry County during the 1837 tax year. He, along with William, and Robert Jr.
appear in the 1837 Henry County tax records. Thomas remained in Owen County, eventually moving
to Carroll County around 1841-1842. Robert, William, and Robert Jr. remained in Henry County
through 1845, possibly even as late as 1848. There was a period from 1842 to 1847 that I never found a
record of William, but he was in Henry County during the 1848 tax year. Robert Jr. was not found for
1846 and 1847, but appeared in Gallatin County during 1848. William's last appearance was found in
an 1850 Gallatin County census record, as was Robert Jr., until his eventual move to Owen County in
1851. Robert Jr. is documented in the 1851 through 1853 tax records, with Martha’s first appearance
on the Owen County tax record occurring in 1856. I would be inclined to believe the death of Robert
Jr. occurred around 1854-1855. As previously, many different spelling was obvious, as is consistent
throughout the records. Robert Sr. was last found in the 1850 census record as explained previously.
Through the efforts of the Troxell family history, it was learned that George Troxel was first married
to Sarah Rice on April 3, 1816. At some period he was married to Nancy Hammons/Hammonds,
supported by the birth record of Edmund T. Troxell. Edmund was born at North Etherington Mills on
October 23, 1852. Another confirmed child of this couple was from a death record of George Troschell
(Troxell), age 17, born abt. 1836, dying February 20, 1853 at Lockport, KY. This information is
consistent with the Troxell family historical information.
Mary learned of a prominent individual in the Henry Co. area named James Etherington. His history
indicates that of a large landowner, politician, sawmill owner-operator and a shipper of goods to New
Orleans, most likely wood products. The shipping operation was believed to have occurred out of
Lockport, KY, a small community located just across the Kentucky River from Gratz, Owen Co, Ky.
The mill was believed to have been in, or around, a small town named North Etherington Mills, Ky.,
and the mill being named Etherington Sawmill. This town no longer exists, but evidence of its existence
is shown in some early Henry County historical birth records
The information of James Etherington indicates that he was an educated man. He attended
Transylvania University, a very old and respected university located in Fayette Co., Ky., sometime
between the period of 1808 and 1816. He was a teacher and majored in French. A language that would
have been a very valuable asset for his shipping business to New Orleans. Henry County history
indicates that he was a pioneer settler of Six-Mile Creek, which is believed to flow through Lockport, at
a location that empties into the Kentucky River. In March 1840 James Etherington was appointed the
responsibility of maintaining the road from New Castle to Flat Creek (Franklin Co. Line) Beginning at
the part he owned. His crew was George Troxel, Will Cox (later married to a Troxell), William
Etherington, Sam Rupell, Washington Etherington, John Etherington and Alex Durulap. James
Etherington was the contractor of the locks at Lockport, causing the name of the town to be changed
from Wallace (Wallace owned a warehouse there) to Lockport.
After visiting the area, I have concluded that the most likely earlier mentioned maintained road fitting
the above description, would be KY route 573 which goes from New Castle to Bethlehem, ending at a
junction of 561(Grub Ridge), located very near the Franklin Co. line. Another possibility is a very
small road leading directly from Lockport to Grub Ridge Road, ending at Harper’s Ferry and on to
Gest the site of another lock across the Kentucky River. Geographically, Lockport (Henry Co.) is
located just across the Kentucky River from Gratz (Owen Co.) It is a very small town with a Rock
Quarry, a blacktop manufacturing facility and locks on the river. It has a country store and the
remains of what was most likely the Wallace Warehouse.
37
Six-Mile creek runs parallel to the only street of the town. A left turn from this street would take you
across a bridge crossing six mile creek and is the road I describe as leading back to Grub Ridge,
Harper’s Ferry and a very small town of 38, named Gest. Would this have meaning to Six-Mile Creek
as having been the location of the sawmill? I talked with several of the local people and the Postmaster
seemed to have the most information. He told me that Ethingtons lived and were buried around
Pleasureville, later learning that James Etherington is buried in Pleasureville. Looking at the map,
Route 22 leaves Lockport, goes through Bethlehem and then to Pleasureville. I also learned that there
was a ferry crossing the river previous to the existing bridge, which I judge to have been built about the
early 1900 era.
Information has surfaced of a mid-1800 hamlet by the name of Harper’s Ferry. Indications are that
Rebecca Troxell Blackaby and her husband John Blackaby operated a county store there. Rebecca, a
daughter of George and Nancy Hammonds, and John are buried at Grub Ridge Cemetery. The
location of Harper’s Ferry was at the junction of Grub Ridge and Harper’s Ferry road, now known as
“Harper Ferry-Lockport Road”. It is the road I earlier described as leaving Lockport and crossing six
mile creek. This is the exact location of Stephens Creek and a branch of Six-Mile Creek, the stated
birthplace of Thomas. Lecompte Bottom, the exact location.
At a later time, I located a 1851 Henry county tax record indicating that George Troxell owned a 50
acre farm in Henry County, with Mary finding information indicating that it was a land grant and
located on six mile creek. The six-mile creek connection may indicate that Robert lived in this general
area and may be buried there as well. Mary pointed out that some early members of our family were
bridge builders, fitting very well with my suspicion that Robert and family went there looking for
work, as quite a lot of building was occurring on the locks, not to mention the sawmill and shipping
business. One might assume that as a large move in those days, but all of the communities we are
discussing are located within about 20 miles of Eagle Station. However, I do not believe that Thomas
ever made the move. I think he stayed in Carroll County and was a prominent farmer, a fact pointed
out in the research documents obtained from Douglas Andrew Darbro. We do have verification of
Thomas owning a farm of 118 acres. While a lot of this may be viewed as speculation, I make this
defense. First study the history and then become familiar with the area, then form your opinion.
Mary recently located a detailed map of Henry County outlining all the rural roads, including the
cemeteries located within Henry County. She recently visited one of those cemeteries, Point Pleasant
Cemetery, and took pictures of some tombstones bearing Troxell names. Most of them appear to be of
a more recent period than the one we are interested in. Mary and I speak of re-visiting the area,
hopefully making the trip together. More recently I have discussed this with Donna Boyer, a local
resident and family member, who agreed to see what information she could locate. The map should
prove to be a very valuable document for such an undertaking. I have checked the possibility that these
cemeteries were documented, but found only 3-4 listed on the Henry County web site, with far more
information available at the History Center in Frankfort.
I searched a couple of them and did find an entry for Thomas Troxel, born March 5, 1853, dying
March 17, 1917. He is buried at Grub Ridge Church. Another was William Darbro buried in
Eminence, which is documented under his entry. While there are quite a few cemeteries, I would think
that those around Lockport, Orville, Gest, Grub Ridge and the previous hamlet called Harper’s Ferry
would be of first consideration, as well I consider them of having the higher degree for success. Please
remember that Robert Sr. was living with George Troxell in 1850 and was believed to have died in
January 1852. Next, the George Troxell farm was located on Six-Mile Creek near Lockport, KY.

Children of Robert Darbro
1.
John Darrough, b. Abt. 1800, Gallatin Co., Ky. d. Kentucky, married Sally Marshall, January
13, 1821, Henry Co., Ky. b. Abt. 1804, Henry Co., Ky.
In response to a marriage information request to Henry Co., the reply indicated that the
information for this marriage read: “Darrough, John to Sally Marshall of full age marriage
bond date: January 31, 1821, bondsmen Wm. Marshall.” As stated by Dorothy Dailey, this
was an early research error, thereby excluding this individual from our family record. It is
being retained only as a matter of record. 1840 census listed John as 30/40. His wife 30-40, 2
males 10-15. 2 males under 5, 1 male age 1-5.
2.
James Darbro, b. abt. 1801, Gallatin Co., Ky. married Ann Marie Foal, January 28, 1820,
Vandenburg County, Indiana b. Abt. 1790.
Dorothy originally gave me the information of James being married to Ann Marie Foal, the
marriage occurring January 26, 1820 in Vandenburg, Indiana. We now know this to be
Vandenburg Co., Evansville, Indiana. She told of finding James listed in the Owen Co., Ky. Tax
Record for 1823/1850. The first tax record entry was 1822 in Owen Co. and may indicate his
birth date as being around 1801. I was never able to locate these entries during my research of
the tax records.
The 1820 Indiana census had Ann Marie Durbrow, age 26-45. 1 female 10-16, 1 male under 10,
A James Durbrow is documented in the 1820 census Index with that spelling. I have to ask why
he was not included in the census with Ann Marie and then in Kentucky tax records from that
period up to 1850. One thing is for certain, the female aged 10-16 could not be his child and she
would not be the wife, as I have heard suggested. Her mother having the Durbrow name would
rule that out. Dorothy told me she was unable to find a marriage bond for James and Ann
Marie. I have come to the conclusion that this was not a member of our family and the
1822/1850 tax records may prove to be John Darrough.
Consider these recorded marriage entries.
a. James Derrough married Maria Bibb on January 7, 1822 in Owen Co., KY. The bond signed
by John Bibb.
b. Maria Derrough married Thomas Bibb on July 11, 1831 in Owen Co., KY. The marriage
bond was signed by Robert Sanders, with the ceremony performed by James Claxon.
I have also seen information in one of the Jackson genealogy posting, which states that 1801
James, was the husband of Martha Mulligan, the parents of 1826 Thomas. I am not advocating
an acceptance of this, only that it has been suggested from a source other than myself. Then,
consider the statement, some have made, of a brother returning to Pennsylvania following a
problem with a female.
Personally, I suggest you study this entry very closely prior to linking James to our family. Like
many other things, I submit this as an attempt to give you all the information, so you are able to
form a personal opinion. Truly, I am of the opinion that this individual and 1826 Thomas have
to be considered our research mysteries, although to my satisfaction, both have been explained
thoroughly within this writing. I think that when all the facts are considered, you will agree
with my assessment for each.
39
3.
Thomas was born abt. 1802 in Henry County, KY. He married (1) Elizabeth Alcorn on August
17, 1825 in Gallatin Co., KY. She was the daughter of Robert Alcorn and Susannah Turpin
Welch. Elizabeth was born Abt. 1802 in Madison or Garrard Co., KY, died 1850 in Carroll
Co., KY. I have a copy of the marriage record, which is recorded in the Gallatin Co. marriage
register book 2, page 80, and the first entry on the page. William Thompson performed the
marriage. Thomas Darbro and Moses Jackson signed the bond. I find myself asking, would the
fact that her parents did not sign the bond, has any significance. A natural question in view of
the 1823 recorded birth date of their first son John W. Darbro.
Following the assumed death of Elizabeth, Thomas married (2) Alice “Alcy” Swango Alcorn on
March 14, 1858 in Gallatin Co., Ky.; She was the daughter of William Swango and Mary
"Nancy" Ann Bradley. She was born 1818 in Gallatin County, Kentucky and was formerly
married to William Alexander Alcorn, the son of Robert and Susannah. William was a brother
to Elizabeth Alcorn, the first wife of Thomas. The marriage license-certificate shows the
spelling as Aelcy, but the Jordan Baptist Church Records indicate Alcy, the spelling I use. I
have seen other spellings documented.
Thomas and Alcy obtained a license for marriage on March 13, 1858 from Gallatin Co. Clerk
Hiram Baldwin. The next day, March 14, 1858, the Rev. E.H. Hohimer, Minister of the Baptist
Church, married them. The wedding took place at the home of the bride in Gallatin Co., Ky. in
the presence of Jabes Swangon (Swango), a brother, Enoch Locgen (Logden) and William
Hessong.
This is my interpretation of those spellings and was obtained from marriage records in the
Frankfort library on March 21, 2001. They were very difficult to read). I have seen census
records of a family named Hessong living nearby. The groom and bride resided in Carroll
County, Ky.; Thomas was 56 years of age and was born in Henry Co., Ky., confirming the
earlier statements I alluded to. Alcy Alcorn resided in Gallatin Co., Ky., was 40 years of age
and was born in Gallatin County, Ky. The marriage application indicated that each had been
married “once” before, Thomas having been married to Elizabeth Alcorn, Alcy having been
married to William Alcorn. I point out the notation of them having stated “married once
before”, as it has been stated that Thomas was married previous to his marriage to Elizabeth. I
would think this statement should nullify that theory. I have copies of all related documents.
Thomas Darbro was born abt. 1802 in Henry County and died Abt. 1875 in
Carroll County. His birth date was arrived at from
 The initial tax record entries in 1824 Gallatin County, when he appeared with his father
Robert.
 The marriage application to Alice "Alcy" Alcorn where he stated that his birthplace was
Henry County. Included in that document was evidence of an age, which coincides with the
1802 birth date for him, and evidence of her 1818 birth.
 The death certificate of Samuel Darbro, the informant being Betty Darbro, the wife of
Samuel, indicating Jessamine County. I have a copy of this death certificate, as I do for both
marriage of Thomas.
40
 The 1900 Carroll County census for Mack Darbro, his son, where it was noted that his
father was born in Indiana.
 His marriage documentation to Aelcy indicating that he was born in Henry Co., Ky.
Following this, I found an entry stating his birth was Henry County, Kentucky, and he lived
on Stephens Creek.
 The death certificate of John W., his first son, indicating a birthplace of Woodford County,
Kentucky, noting that Elizabeth was born in Garrard County, Kentucky. The informant on
that document was Ica Smith, a grand daughter.
 Clarification of his birthplace would make us consider that Woodford became a county in
1789, formed from Fayette County. It, along with portions of Mercer and Shelby Counties,
became the Parent County of Franklin County in 1795. Henry County was formed in 1799
from Shelby County. Having this knowledge, we can see the progression and would have to
acknowledge that either Woodford or Henry County could be correct. I choose Henry
County as this was from Thomas.
The death date of Thomas was arrived at from:
 His appearance in the 1870 Carroll County census, but not the 1880 census.
 His will which was adjudicated in Carroll County Court, in regular term, on August 14,
1876.
Chronological history of Thomas Darbro
 1824 Gallatin County tax record has Robert Darbro and Thomas Darbro of Sugar Creek.
Dorothy submitted this information. I must admit that I never saw this entry. Just for the
record, Mary said there is a Sugar Creek cemetery in Gallatin County. She has checked the
burial records there and found nothing of interest to us. The cemetery is located where the
old Church of Christ used to be, (you have to walk a path and cross the creek to get to it),
on Hwy 127 about 3-5 miles from the new Church of Christ. This entry would suggest that
Thomas became 21 and most likely the basis of his birth date.
 1825 Gallatin County tax record has Thomas Darborow. This is assumed to be the required
entry upon his marriage to Elizabeth. The over 21 column was not checked. My
documentation.
 1826 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbrow and the over 21 column was
checked. My documentation. This was most likely the first assumption of an 1805 birth
date.
 1827 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. My documentation.
 1828 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darborow. My documentation.
41
 1829 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbro, by Douglas. I never saw this entry.

In a December 27, 2000 email from Dorothy, she supplied the names of the children. She
included the name of Thomas, which we now know to be Robert. She indicated a possibility
of one other child. Looking at this statement at this point in time, I think she was referring
to Martha, as she has told me there was a wife before Elizabeth and a child named Martha
from that marriage. I must say, that I find this speculative and without documentation.
 1831 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darborough, over 21. My documentation.
 1832 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He had 19 acres valued at $38. It
looked like on the waterway of Craig Creek. My documentation
 1833 Gallatin County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He had 20 acres on Craig Creek with
no value listed. He had 1 horse valued at $75. My documentation.

This census seems to have the family intact, as we believe them to be. There is no additional
child named Martha or anything to suggest an earlier marriage. I have supplied the names
and birth range, arrived at from the census age range. Hopefully, this and the 1830 census
information will put the prior marriage theory to rest. The female 60-70 (1770/1780) living
with them would be suggestive of Elizabeth’s mother living with them, as her father died in
1831. I believe that the mother of Thomas died prior to 1840, as Robert Sr. and a wife 10
years a junior to his first wife are included in the 1840 Henry Co. census.

 1844 Carroll Co. Tax Record has Thomas Darbro. If we believe that 1823 John W. Darbro
was the first son of Thomas, which his death certificate indicates. He should have appeared
on the tax list in 1844 when he became 21 and was married, and prior to 1826 Robert,
considering his earlier birth date. Please note John is not listed until 1845, which may be
due to the month of birth.
 1845 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He had 50 acres valued at $300 and 5
horses valued at $100.
 1846 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He owned 84 acres on Eagle Creek
valued at $250. 5 horses valued at $100.
 1847 Carroll Co. tax record had Thomas Darbro with 80 acres on Eagle Creek valued at
$480. 5 horses valued at $60. My documentation.
 1848 Carroll County tax records had Thomas Darbro with 96 acres on Eagle Creek valued
at $384, 3 horses valued at $70 and 5 children between 5-16. My documentation.
 1849 Carroll County tax record had Thomas Darbro with 103 acres on Eagle Creek valued
at $550. He had 5 horses valued at $95. 4 children were listed as between 5-16 years of age.
 1850 Carroll County tax records had Thomas Darbro with 103 acres on Eagle Creek valued
at $515 and 4 horses valued at $100. The 1850 Carroll Co. census, page 177 has Thomas
listed as 48. His wife and children are listed as well.

John, Robert and Polly Ann were missing from this report. Polly Ann would have married
Moses Jackson in 1849, with John W. married to Sally Jacobs in 1843. I have heard
speculation that John and Robert may have been children of a brother. However, before
accepting that, consider the 1830, 1840 census and more importantly the death certificate of
John, which states his parents to be Thomas and Elizabeth. Then consider the will of
Thomas leaving $200 to his granddaughter Nancy E., the daughter of son Robert. A very
compelling statement made in his words.
 1851-1853 Carroll County tax record has Thomas. Essentially nothing has changed from
above.
 July 26, 1853, Thomas purchased 138 acres on Eagle Creek from the estate of M.C.
43
Sanders. He paid $180 cash and 19,660 lbs. of tobacco as the purchase price. This was the
property he was living on at the time.
 1854-1857 Carroll County tax record has Thomas. Essentially nothing has changed from

Notice that Elizabeth was missing from this census and Thomas has a new wife Alice
“Alcy”, with their marriage in 1858. Assuming this as an indication of Elizabeth’s death, I
have to wonder if she is buried in the farm cemetery, believed to be located behind the
home place on John W. Darbro’s farm. I have heard that they were members of the Jordan
Baptist Church, but have never seen documentation to verify that. However, I have seen
verification of Alcy being a member there and indication of her death date. Additionally,
we have Elizabeth and Nancy E., the children of Alcy Alcorn from her previous marriage to
William Alcorn. I have seen census information, which conflicts as to the residence of
Elizabeth and Nancy Alcorn at the time of the 1860 census. Specifically, I relate to an 1860
Ghent census entry with both residing with Thomas Carter, age 58, b. KY. Nancy E. was
10, b. IN, Elizabeth 15, b. KY.
 In 1862 a second Thomas appeared on the tax rolls for only one year. I believe him to be
1840 Thomas W. Darbro, a son of Robert Jr. and Martha Mullikin. He would be the same
Thomas appearing in the 1860 Owen County census with Martha Darbro. In a later email
Dorothy talks of one Thomas having nothing, except a listing as “male over 21”. The other
had 118 acres of land valued at $1200, which I know to be the older 1802 Thomas, as he was
still alive and did own that acreage.

Please notice that Thomas was missing from this census. He died around 1875.
Wesley, in his written history, states that he doubts that Elizabeth was the first wife of
Thomas, because Forrest was sure that George Washington and John were ½ brothers and
that there was a lot of step relation. Very true, there was a lot of step relation; examples are
44
Samuel, Nancy, Elizabeth and of course almost any Jackson. There were a lot of second
and third marriages in all branches of the family tree, which would create a lot of step
relations, none of which would indicate or verify a prior marriage for Thomas.
Additionally, Wesley was not aware of the extensive research we now have before us,
including the death certificate of John. If one still has a question about this, just look at the
death certificate of John W. Darbro and the marriage documentation for Thomas and
Elizabeth Allcorn. Thomas and Moses Jackson signed the marriage bond.

On a recent visit to the Eagle Station area, I learned of the location of the property belonging to
46
Thomas Darbro, which is included in the aforementioned will. This property, as deeded to Alice
“Alcy” Darbro was believed to have been bordered on one side by The Ghent-Eagle Station
Road and on the front by the Sanders Road, Highway #36, including the property across the
road, ending at Eagle Creek. The Ghent-Eagle Station road intersects the Sanders road
approximately at the location of the earliest site of the town of Eagle Station. John’s property
was adjacent to this property, enlarging over the years in the direction of Sanders and Indian
Creek.
Children of Thomas and Elizabeth Alcorn Darbro
3.1
John William Darbro was born November 06, 1823 in Gallatin Co., Ky., and died
March 19, 1913 in Eagle Station, Ky. Dr. J.R. Darbro, his son, signed the death
certificate. Included in this document was verification of his parents being Thomas and
Elizabeth Darbro. Additionally, it stated that Thomas was born in Woodford Co., Ky.
and Elizabeth was born in Garrard Co., KY. The informant was Ica Smith. I have a
copy of that document. He is buried in the Darbro cemetery, Ghent, KY. He married
(1) Sarah “Sally” Ann Jacobs on May 20, 1844 in Gallatin Co., KY. She was born Abt.
1824, and died July 07, 1881. He next married (2) Mary E. Roberts on December 02,
1886. She was born Abt. 1860.

 1871, John bought 4 acres of land on Eagle Creek from George W. Rosel.
 1874, John bought 28 acres of land, located next to Duvall, from Francis M. Rosell.
 1880 census has John as 56, Sallie 54, Louis age 22, Ruth Ann age 17. Living with
them or nearby is a son-in-law William Henry Anderson age 34 and three
granddaughters, Anna age 10, Atha age 8, Arnola age 3. William H. Anderson was
the husband of Mary J. Darbro. They were married June 24, 1869 in Carroll Co.;
Ky. Mary must have died, as she was not included in the census.
 1886, John bought 4 acres of land on Eagle Creek from N.T. Darbro.
 1886, John bought land on Eagle Creek from W. T. Duvall.
 1894, John bought 66 acres of land on Eagle Creek from Samuel Lewellyn.
 August 3, 1897 - Deed of conveyance from the estate of Ed J. Tandy. Plaintiffs were
Richard, J.L., M.T. Roberts and Mary E. (Roberts) Darbro. There were 40 acres on
the waterway of Eagle Creek. It was sold at public auction January 1896 and the
price was $453.
 The 1900 Carroll Co. census indicates he was 76 born 1823, married 13 years, and
had a new wife Mary E. (Roberts) age 39 born November 1860, two children, 2
living. Additionally, it listed a son John C. (Clinton) age 11 born October 1888,
Mamie E. age 8 born October 1891. Mary E. was a Roberts, possibly related to my
grandmother’s mother, who was Elizabeth Roberts. Then look at the 1897 land
purchase from the estate of Ed J. Tandy, where Mary E. listed as one of the heirs. I
recall my grandmother Melissa being close to the Tandy’s who owned and operated
a funeral home in Carrollton during the 1940’s when I was growing up there. There
must be some connection.
 1904, John bought 31 acres of land near Eagle Station from Samuel Sanders.
 The 1910 Carroll Co. Census has John 86 married 23 years, Mary 49-2 children w/2
living, daughter Mamie age 19. All being born in Kentucky. Given the fact that his
birth year is consistently about 1824 it gives validity of an earlier suggested
marriage for 1802 Thomas, Dorothy Dailey and Wesley Darbro being the two that
raise this possibility. However, I must point out that there has never been any
documentation for such a marriage, and the census records as well as the death
certificate of John seem to contradict the theory.

John Darbro Estate information
Mary just recently found the estate papers for John. He died intestate (without a will).
James Riley petitioned the court to appoint a commissioner to settle and partition his
farm property. On March 1915, partition of the land was completed by Commissioners
W. W. North, W.H. Boulton and S. G. Tilton with 7 equal parts going to: 1. James Riley
Darbro 2. Tinsley Blanton Darbro, surviving son of Richard M. Johnson Darbro. 3.
John Clinton Darbro, with dower interest to Maud Darbro. 4. Robert Lewis Darbro 5.
Mayme Elizabeth Darbro Lewellyn, wife of Kelly Lewellyn. 6. Ruth Ann “Annie”
Darbro, wife of Richard Newt Clayton. 7. The children of Mary Jane Darbro, wife of
William Henry Anderson. Those children were Anna”Ica” Anderson, who married
Joseph Smith; Atha Anderson, who married Bud Furnish; and Arnola “Nola”
Anderson, who married John Montgomery. We have a copy of this document and the
land plat division.
We previously concluded the mother of 1888 John Clinton and 1891 Mayme Elizabeth
to be Mary E. Roberts and would be verified by this document as it contains
information as to her dower interest for John Clinton. Additional verification would be
in the 1900 Carroll County census indicating that John and Mary were married 13
years, John Clinton was 11, Mayme E. was 8, with the notation that Mary had 2
children, 2 children living. This would verify their marriage date as 1886; without
doubt, she was the mother of these children. We previously thought Mary's nickname to
be “Maude”, until finding the court action disposing of John's property. That action
includes information which would indicate that John Clinton was married and his
wife's name was "Maud". Evidence to this can be found in the September 10, 1913
Carroll County Court action below, where she is listed as a wife. Next, would be a 1916
land sale to R.N. Cayton, by the estate of Clinton. It includes the signature of Maud
(wife) and Mary E., indicating that Clinton died about 1916.
Estate Documentation for John Darbro
John William Darbro died March 19, 1913 intestate (without a will). He owned several
parcels of land in Carroll County, all being in the Eagle Station area.
September 10, 1913 a petition was entered to the court to set aside the dower interest of
the widow of John William Darbro, namely Mary E. “Maud” Darbro. It was the wish of
the below heirs and the widow to set aside and relinquish all claims of her dower
interest, as a widow, except for one portion of land. This being the land on Eagle Creek
described as extending in a northern direction from Eagle Creek, which I believe to
have contained 97 acres. The property was bounded on the east by Sam Lewellyn land,
north by R.W. Bruce and W.C. Davis Land, west by J.T. Rosell and Rutha Saxton land
50
and back to the south by Eagle Creek. My understanding of a widows dower interest
would be for her to retain the use of all the land during her lifetime and passed
proportionately to the children of John, or their heirs, upon her death.
In fact, she agreed to let them have the property immediately and unencumbered,
except for the one portion of land in question. I think this property was the 97 acres sold
to Thomas Courtney on March 1, 1939, following the death of Mary E. “Maud”
(Roberts) Darbro. Considering her lifetime dower interest in the land described above,
it would have reverted to the other heirs and is accomplished in the 1939 sale.
Parties of the first part. All in agreement with the court action:
 James Riley and wife Nannie B. Darbro.
 Robert Lewis and wife Emma Darbro.
 Ruth Ann “Annie” (Darbro) and husband Richard Newt Cayton.
 Mary Jane (Darbro) Anderson, Dec. Her children Ica (Anderson) Smith and
husband Joe S. Smith; Atha (Anderson) and husband Bud Furnish; Arnola “Nola
(Anderson) and husband John Montgomery.
 John Clinton and wife “Maude” Darbro.
 Mayme Elizabeth “Maine” Darbro.
 Tinsley Blanton Darbro, the child of Richard M. Johnson Darbro
 Deceased.
Party of the second part was Mary E. “Maud” (Roberts) Darbro, who died prior to
1939. Transfer of the above described property was released to her widow dower
interest in 1914, following the signature of the last heir on January 17, 1914, being
Lewis Darbro and wife Emma.
March term 1915 Carroll County Court. James Riley Darbro, a son, petitioned the
court to subdivide the property. Commissioner’s W.W. North, W. H. Houlton and E.G.
Tilton were appointed for subdivision of the property. They met on the property April
2, 1915 and over a seven day period divided the property, reporting their action to the
court on April 12, 1915.
 Lot 1 to James Riley Darbro, consisting of 29.3 acres.
 Lot 2 to Tinsley Blanton Darbro, consisting of 21 acres.
 Lot 3 to John Clinton Darbro, subject to dower interest of his mother Maud
Darbro, 40.2 acres. Most likely the 40 acres bought August 3, 1896 at a
commissioner auction for $453. It was the property of the estate of Ed J. Tandy, a
relative of Mary E. Roberts. She was one of the heirs to that estate.
 Lot 4 to Robert Lewis Darbro, 38.1 acres.
 Lot 5 to Mayme Darbro Lewellyn, 42.2 acres.
 Lot 6 to Ruth Ann “Annie Darbro Cayton, 37.2 acres.
 Lot 7 to the descendant children of Mary Jane Darbro Anderson- Ica Smith, Atha
Furnish and Nola Montgomery 37.1 acres.
The estate totaling 245.1 acres, plus the 97 acres that Mary E. “Maud” Darbro kept
with dower interest. We have copies of all 7 plats. This action was completed in
1915.
51
March 1, 1939 the affiliate, R.N.Clayton, representative of the estate of John William
Darbro and the below heirs sold 97 acres to Thomas Courtney. It being part of the John
Darbro estate retained, by dower interest, by Mary E. “Maud” (Roberts) Darbro. The
very same property involved in the September 10, 1913 division of the John Darbro
estate.
The heirs involved were:
 John Clinton Darbro
 James Riley Darbro, Dec. His heirs Nannie B., a wife; son-Forrest Darbro and wife
Carrie; daughter Clyde Ford and husband Robert K. Ford.
 Robert Lewis Darbro dec., With no children, his part was split proportionately
among the living brothers and sisters or their heirs.
 Annie Cayton Dec. Her part split proportionately between her husband R.N. Cayton
and daughter GladysCayton.
 Mamie “Maine” Elizabeth Lewellyn, deceased, with no living husband or children.
Her part was split proportionately between her brothers and sisters or heirs.
 T.B. Darbro Dec. His part of split proportionately between his wife Tommie “Toma”,
daughter Nancy, and son Richard Henry.
 Mary Anderson Dec. Her part split proportionately between her
Children: Ica Smith. Atha Furnish dec. Her part split proportionately between her
husband Bud Furnish and daughter May Furnish. Nola Montgomery.
***********
As previously described under Thomas, the father of John W., the property contained
in this estate was located adjacent to the land willed to Alice Darbro, following the
death of her husband Thomas. It would have consisted of approximately 245 acres,
most likely ending about the waterway of Indian Creek, bordered on the front by Eagle
Creek, again very near the original settlement of Eagle Station. It is believed that a
family cemetery may be located behind one of these properties. We know for sure that
one exists behind the farmhouse on the former farm of John. No Darbros are buried
there, but are unsure as to the former farm of Thomas located nearby.
Marriage notes for John and Sarah "Sally" Darbro
Marriage record indicates the clerk listed his name as Darbrow. However, he signed the
bond as Darbro.

She is buried at IOOF Cemetery, New Liberty, KY. A large monument located
mid-back center of the cemetery. The inscription is difficult to read. Something
like "Our desolate our home here? Of Thee". Figure that one out.

Dr. James Riley Darbro was born August 18, 1851, and died July 02, 1931.
Burial: Ghent Cemetery. He married Nannie B. Walters in 1896, the daughter
of Samuel and Louise Walters. She was born August 27, 1873, and died
October 15, 1955. Dr. Darbro received his medical degree from The Louisville
School of Medicine, Louisville, KY.
James Riley and Nannie B. owned the Darbro Hotel in Sanders. His office was
located in one portion of the building, with Nannie B. operating the hotel
section. I was told that the hotel was home to a lot of people called “drummers”.
They went about the area selling various items of use in the home. The hotel was
later named The Stafford Hotel and has since burned. It was located on the site
of the new Post Office. There were various other hotels and rooming houses
located in the area, as Sanders was a very prosperous city during those days.
The railroad running through Sanders brought many visitors to the Blue Licks
Hotel, and various other mineral bathhouses located in the area. Then there was
the Tri-County Fair held annually, attended by groups as far away as Louisville
and Cincinnati.

Edyth Clyde Darbro, b. February 15, 1892, died February 18,1976.
She married Robert K. Ford on September 4, 1911. He was born
June 15, 1887 died March 31, 1954. In a 1927 Sanders School photo,
there is a teacher named Clyde Darbro, next to her a child named
Edith Darbro. We believe this to be Edyth Clyde Darbro Ford, and
the teenager Edith, to be the daughter of Emmitt Darbro.
We have since learned that the name of the school was “Hickory
Thicket”. It was located about 4 Mlles from Sanders. The
informant, Jack Shirley, pointed in the direction of Eagle Station.

Note: The death certificate is under the name of Rose Darbro. She
was living at 1220 S. 3rd Street, Louisville and died at the Waverly
Hills Sanitarium, the informant on her death certificate. She was
indicated to be a Clerk and single, raising question as to this
marriage and child. Pearson Funeral Home, Louisville was the
undertaker with burial in the Worthville Cemetery.
It is my opinion that the original supplier of this information read
the “Waverly Hills San.” As “Son”, thus giving cause for speculation
of a marriage.

buried at Ghent Cemetery. Kelly m. Elizabeth “Bettie” Butcher in 1922, Carroll
Co., KY. She was b. 1895, d. 1984. Buried at Ghent Cemetery. They had 1 son
Robert O. Lewellyn, b. 1923, d. June 28, 1925. A relative to Bettie is currently a
pastor to a church in Carrollton. Kelly had a brother Howard Lewellyn, who
was married to Ruby White, an orphan from a local orphanage. They separated
with her going to Arkansas, selling their home to Ida B. and Eddie Lewis. That
56
is their current residence.
Ida B. told me of Mary Roberts being a longtime member of Jordan Baptist
Church, indicating that Mary was her Sunday school teacher. Following the
death of John, she apparently became infatuated with a minister of the church. I
was never told if the feeling was mutual, apparently not.

Robert Darbro was born Abt. 1826, and died Abt. 1849. He married Amanda
Hornback, March 18, 1845 in Owen Co., KY. She was born Abt. 1822 in Owen Co.,
KY.
In an old edition of Kentucky Ancestors, found in the official records in Frankfort, this
marriage is listed twice. In one place the name is Amanda Hornback and in the other
America Hawbrick. This was one item on my agenda on a trip of March 21, 2001 to the
Kentucky Library located in Frankfort. I found the marriage bond index Roll #
7012254, page 98 to have Robert Darbro and Amanda Hornbac. The bond was signed
by Robert Darbro and John G. Ellington.
Then the Marriage Register, Roll # 272768 has 2 entries. One is on page 18, dated
March 16, 1845. It reads Robert Darbro and America Hawbrick. The other entry is on
page 31 of the same roll number and has a marriage date of March 15, 1845, listing
Robert Darbro and Amanda Hornback.
Another compelling piece of documentation is in the 1850 Harrison county census
record which includes an Amanda Darbeaugh, which I have included previously, as well
in the census information below. Additionally, Shirley Hornbeck, an author of a couple
of genealogy books of the Hornbeck and related families, lists her among that family,
leading one to another version as to the correct spelling. Mary Knapp informed me of
an early letter received from Dorothy stating that this was a puzzle to her, indicating
that they were two and the same, believing the correct name to be Amanda, as there is a
Amanda listed in the 1849 Carroll County tax record with 23 acres of land. I would
tend to accept this as I have also verified that entry. It appears to be a mistaken double
entry by the clerk. Although, I have to wonder how one could arrive at two very
different spellings, neither being close to the other.
Chronological history of Robert Darbro
 1846 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro. He owned 50 acres on Eagle
Creek valued at $150. 1 horse valued at $30. I never saw any children listed. He
married Amanda Hornback in March 1845 and their only child was Nancy. This is
his first appearance on the tax record as required by his marriage. Dorothy told
Mary of this entry having Robert Jr. with 1 child. I never saw any reference to Jr.
or a child. I believe she is confusing entries of the two Roberts.
 1847 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro with 50 acres valued at $250.
57
My documentation.
 1848 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro with 46 Acres on Eagle Creek
valued at $184. 1 horse valued at $35. My documentation.
 1849 Carroll County tax record has Amanda Darbro, a widow, submitted by
Dorothy. I viewed this record and did not see widow. However, she did replace
Robert Darbro on the tax record. I discussed this with one of the attendants at the
History Center and she stated that most likely her husband had died. Amanda had
23 acres valued at $115 and 1 horse valued at $35. In 1848 they had 46 acres. What
happened to the other acreage? This would appear to be a 50/50 split.
 1850 Carroll County tax record had Amanda with 19 acres on Eagle Creek
valued at $76. Beside Amanda’s name was “Same Agt”. This would indicate to
me that she was not in the county and was being represented. Note another
decrease in acreage. There has to be a sale of property here as her acreage
decreased from 46 acres from the 1848 listing.

 Amanda Darbeaugh and child Nancy E. age 4 would be the same age as the
child of Robert. She was living with Jacob Albright and her sister Elizabeth.
Additionally, it included Catherine age 27 with a child Mary E. age 6 and Mary
age 71 born in Maryland, who is assumed to be a mother. Please remember that
this is the same child that Thomas included in his will, referring to her as his
granddaughter by son Robert. He left her $200 to be taken from Mack, Samuel
and Washington equally. I must point out that Harrison and Owen County is
connecting counties. On the same census page is a Cragmyle family. As a matter
of notation, I have seen an entry on Moses Jackson that had a family of the same
name living near him in Owen County.
 1851 Carroll County tax records indicates that John, as an agent, replaced
Amanda. It is stated this way until 1857.

Polly Ann Darbro was born Abt. 1828, and died Abt. 1865. She married Moses Jackson
October 18, 1849 in Carroll Co., Ky., Moses was born Abt. 1804 and was the son of
Moses Jackson and Susan Alcorn.
Chronological History for Polly Ann and Moses Jackson
Information from several sources indicate that Moses Jackson was married 4 times. (1).
Salina Holbert (2) Polly Ann Darbro, Daughter of Thomas Darbro and wife Elizabeth
Alcorn. (3) Martha Darbro, The 3rd wife of Moses, who is thought, by Dorothy to be a
daughter of Thomas Darbro and ?, a wife previous to Elizabeth Alcorn. She told me of
this being discussed during her trip to Kentucky and everyone said that it was true.
Personally, I have a big problem with this. First, this is an undocumented marriage,
which I believe would have surfaced during research. Second, I believe her to be the
same Martha Mulikin that married 1817 Robert Jr. Darbro, the son of 1770 Robert
Darbro. Documentation has her as head of the household in a 1860 census living in
Owen Co. Her name is Martha Darbro and she is living with the children of 1817
Robert. This would have been 5 years prior to her marriage to Moses Jackson. All of
this documented previously. (4) Susan Warner.
 July 1840 Gallatin Co. census record has this Moses Jackson entry:

daughter Sarah Elizabeth Jackson.

son of Robert Jr. and Martha Mullikin Darbro. He was born December 25,
1839, and died January 08, 1922 in Worthville, KY. Both are buried in
Worthville Cemetery.
Notes for James William Darbro
James W. and Matilda were listed in the 1910 Owen County census. He was 67
(1843), she was 57 (1853). Daughter Sallie was 26 (1884). Son Jimmy W. was 22
1888). Son Victor was 19 (1891). Daughter Mattie was 14 (1896). All of them
were born in Kentucky. Ann at the IOOF cemetery, Carrollton checked the
Worthville Cemetery burial records and found that at James burial, the record
indicated his father as Thomas Darbro and his mother as Martha Mulligan.
The 1880 Owen Co. census information has James as 31, Matilda as 26, Anna as
4, Sarah as age 2. Jennie was not listed.
The 1900 Owen Co. census information, given to me by Dorothy, has James
born Dec. 1842 and gives his age as 57, married 26 years. Matilda was 48, the
60
mother of 10 children with 6 living. Anna born April 1876 and 24. Sarah E. was
listed as Sallie born January 1878, age 22. Jennie is shown as being born Sept.
1879, James in July 1887, Victor in Oct 1889. Mattie in June 1895.
Children of Matilda and James William Darbro are listed

Andrew Jackson was born June 11, 1856 in Eagle Station, Ky., and died March

Kentucky, daughter of Elijah Tomlinson and Lucinda Long. She was born
August 16, 1852 in Oldham Co., Ky., and died Abt. 1893 in Owen Co., Ky.
Possibly buried at Bethel Cemetery. He married (2) Annie (Nee Book)
Tomlinson, September 19, 1895 in Owen Co., KY. She was born March 07,
1861 in Kentucky, and died June 18, 1917 in Covington, KY. He married (3)
Rebecca "Becky"(Nee Bush) Gribble, January 04, 1919 in Covington, Ky.,
daughter of Semian Bush and Nancy Riddle. She was born August 02, 1852 in
Pendleton Co., Ky., and died July 13, 1936 in Covington, KY.
Lois Hurt states that 3 of Sarah’s children died within 2 weeks of one another in
1890.
Ida B. said the Rebecca was called "Old Becky", but she never knew why. She
did know that the children from previous marriage disliked Becky, for reasons
unknown. Ida B. said that Becky liked her and would take her to the grocery
with her. She recalls on one visit that Becky bought some cottage cheese. She
couldn’t understand why anyone would buy that as her mother fed them to the
turkeys at home.

Ida B. told me a story of "Charlie" and an incident that occurred
while he was visiting with her mother and father, who lived on
Buffalo Creek at that time. Ida's dad and Charlie went rabbit
hunting one morning. Just as her father shot at a rabbit, Charlie
stepped in line of the firing, scaring both "to death". The bullet had
hit and lodged in a large and old railroad pocket watch that Charlie
was carrying. That watch had saved Charlie’s life. Ida B. said that
her father would never go hunting after that. This proves the old
saying " they don’t make em like they used to". Charlie was an
employee of the C&O Railroad, apparently out of Covington where
they lived.
Ida described Nina as a jolly person and loved having Ida B. around.
She told me of a story about Charlie and Nina horse playing and
teasing her while she was making something with flour. She flipped
some flour on him and he flipped some on her, ending in a flour
fight. While each was covered with flour, his boss from the C&O
came to the door. Charlie ran into the other room and she had to
answer the door. Imagine the surprise of the boss. Nina laughed,
telling him that they were just having a little flour fight. As a newly
wed, Nina couldn't cook much. A neighbor had to go away for a
while, her husband being too sick to go wit her. She asked Nina to
baby-sit him and fix him some scalloped oysters. She took some
scissors and scalloped each oyster. When the wife returned they
were discussing this and asked what Nina had done with the pieces
she hadn't cooked. Nina replied that she had fed them to the
husband, uncooked. Maybe that is where the raw oyster came about.

Ky., son of Wesley Curlin and Rebecca Baxter. He was born February 02, 1825 in
Virginia, d. ? There is some confusion of his death date. The records at Gap Hill have
September 8, 1946, but I refuse to believe he was 121 years of age at the time of his
death. I have seen another death date of 1885, which would seem more fitting. Both are
buried at Gap Hill Cemetery, Carroll Co., Ky.

John Curlin, b. 1863, and d. February 3, 1915. He m. Mary Little, Carroll Co.,

indicated that the Gap Hill Cemetery Records show that she was the wife of
John, b. 1884. Her father is listed as Archie Lamer. Consider the problem
when we include the 3 children for John and Mary listed below. Two are
included in the 1910 Carroll County census as Gale age 11, and Ernest age 21,
living with Emma. I have received contrasting information. One indicating that
Mary Little was born 1888, and dying March 8, 1947 in Louisville, KY. Then I
was told that the marriage occurred in 1902. Then it was indicated that Daisy
was a child of John, rather than the child of Gayle, arrived at from another
source. This definitely needs more research.

Louisville, KY.
Dr. Thomas J. Barksdale was a minister for 65 years. His degrees
included AB & DD from Mississippi College & Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary. Following his 1916 arrival in Louisville, he
was the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky for
50 years. He was a member of the Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention for 7 years, moderator of Long Run
Associations of Baptists, Head of the Kentucky Baptist Convention
and the Louisville Baptist Pastor’s Association. He had the distiction
of being the 2nd pastor of Louisville to preach over the local radio
station, WHAS. His advice to young preachers, “Preach the Bible”.
He married Margaret Elizabeth just one month following his arrival
in Louisville. His later years were spent living with his daughter. At
his death, he was a member of St. Matthews Baptist Church,
Louisville. He is buried at Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY. I
suspect that his wife and 2 children are buried there as well.
Millie Jenkins, a relative through the Alcorn side of my family,
shared informed about being married and baptized by Dr.
Barksdale. She recalls the family very fondly, sadly never aware that
they were related. She tells of “remembering Margaret and Julia
Alice sitting in the first pew right in front of the podium and when
the choir was to sing, Julia Alice got up and directed the choir. I
knew she had something to do with music but could not at first
remember what. But, now I can see her just as plain leading the
choir. Can't remember what either one of them look like, except
Julia Alice (and that is what she was called), had shoulder length
sandy colored hair, but facial features I cannot remember, after all I
mostly saw
her from the back leading the choir”.

Kentucky, died August 19, 1881 in Carroll Co., KY. Both are
buried in The Darbro Cemetery. His headstone is shared with his
father, the inscription reading “Our brother’s blest who is at rest
with Christ forever more.” His mothers headstone inscription
reads “ Her end was peace”.

He married (2) Margaret “Maggie” Jane (Nee Harlow) Earls, August 03,1909 in
Carroll Co., Ky., daughter of John Harlow and Nancy Lay. She was born June
06, 1867, and died July 16, 1942 in Carroll Co., KY.
Notes for Jefferson Dorthia Darbro
Andy, Daniel and Minnie were Earls’ instead of Darbro’s. They were children
from Maggie’s previous marriage. Dorothy states that Jefferson appeared on
the Carroll Co. census in 1910, but he was not there on the 1900 census. The
1910 census lists him with wife Maggie and states that they have been married
one year. A notation for Maggie indicates that she has 4 children with 4 living,
which would indicate a former marriage with her children appearing in this
census with the name of Darbro. Harvey is in fact a Darbro while Andy, Daniel
and Minnie are from Maggie’s previous marriage to an Earls.

Notes for Kelly Darbro
I have learned from a friend of this family that Adela was called by
her nickname “Dell” and Kelly was referred to as “Kell”. He tells of
a group of six getting together weekly and drinking a “little” beer
and playing cards. His mother saying that sometimes it was more
than a little, but they had a lot of fun. In the winter they had
Limburger cheese and onion on rye bread served with pretzels.
Kelly was said to have had a deep-throated laugh and a raspy voice.
A story is told of the group going to a religious campground at
Ruggles Mill in Lewis County, Ky. over a Labor Day weekend.
While using the outhouse “Dell” was looked in on by a cow which
surely caused some laughter, as she was perceived to be a city girl.

Notes for William D. Darbro
Civil War reunion information dated June 20, 1885 indicates that a reunion was held in
Carroll Co., KY for the 4th Kentucky Calvary. James Darbro being in attendance, him
being the same James A. Darbro, son of Thomas and Elizabeth. J.T. Alexander of
Owen Co. was the Captain of Co. C., 4th Calvary. William was not listed as one of those
in attendance, although he was previously a member of this company, later being
transferred to Co. K. The 4th Kentucky Calvary was formed September 10, 1862 and
surrendered April 30, 1865 to General Hobson at Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Memorial to William D. Darbro
It was fall 1864 in Northern Kentucky. Armies still clashed and people continued to die by the
thousands, but the outcome of the Civil War was pretty much determined. The emphisis of
federal officials in Northern Kentucky was on breaking the will of Confederate diehards, who in
groups of 10 or 20 continued to roam the area burning bridges, robbing stores and harassing
Union troops.
“The freight train pulled into the railroad depot and four men were marched out. The men were
William Long of Maysville, William Tithe of Williamstown, William Daibro of Dallasburg
(Wheatley), Owen County and R.W. Yates of Hart County.
About 200 yards from the depot, the men were lined up and shot. Three apparently died
instantly. Long, wounded, staggered to his feet. He told those facing him he was not afraid to die.
They responded with another volley of gunfire. The bodies were left on the ground. An hour
went by, then a couple, then several. Sixteen hours after the men were shot, the four bodies still
lay in the dirt.
Some felt the men simply had what was coming to them. Others were outraged about the
executions, but were afraid to touch the bodies for fear they also would become targets. The four
men, suspected of being Confederate guerrillas, had been taken from a prison in Lexington and
brought to Henry County for execution as retaliation for the murders of two African-American
men. The bodies of the four were finally removed by a group of Confederate guerrillas, who sped
into the depot, collected the bodies and quickly rode out.”
92
The demise of these men so inflamed the community, in turn causing the erection of a
memorial. The memorial, located in Eminence, Henry County, Kentucky is described as
a white marble Confederate Soldiers Martyrs Monument.
"The memorial is in the shape of an obelisk, bears silent witness to the executions of
William Datbor (Darbro), William Tighe and R. W. Yates, The three men honored by
this memorial were executed in 1864 as a result of order No. 59, the powerful
inscription on the obelisk is testament to the Confederate outrage with Gen.
Burbridge".
The inscription reads “Three CSA Soldier who were shot at Pleasureville by order of
Gen. Burbridge in pretense of retaliation of two negras that were killed near Port Royal
Sleep on ye braves for you have got our last breath. We would not have thee buried on a
lot with him who has caused thy death William Tighe aged 30 years, R. W. Yates aged
30 years, William Datbor (Darbro) aged 20 years”.
The Owen County Historical Society Version of the Civil War and
the death of William D. Darbro
Among the items available at the Owen County Historical society is The Muster Roll of
Capt. W. T. Havens, Company E, Third Battalion of Cavalry, Kentucky Volunteers,
Confederate States Army. Sixty seven of the men were from Owen County, although
some enlisted elsewhere. This company served in the campaigns in eastern Kentucky,
southern West Virginia, and eastern Tennessee up to August 1863, when the command
was transferred to the Western Department, and then participated in the Battles of
Chickamauga under Gen. Forrest. It was then under Gen. Wheeler on his raid through
Tennessee around the rear of Gen. Rosecrans, and while on this expedition near
Shelbyville, Tennessee, suffered a severe loss in killed, wounded and captured.
The company participated in The Battle of Missionary Ridge and soon afterward
(January 1, 1864) reported to Gen. John H. Morgan at Atlanta, and was transferred
back to Virginia. It followed the fortunes and misfortunes of Morgan's command from
that time until the close of the war.
The battalion was at Christiansburg, Virginia, when Lee surrendered at Appomattox.
Accepting the terms of Lee's surrender, the men were marched to Mt. Sterling,
Kentucky, where on April 30, 1865, and following days, the members were paroled and
scattered to their homes.
On July 22, 1864, a Mr. Robinson was killed by guerrillas at his home on Eagle Creek in
Scott County, near the Owen County line. On the 27th, Major Gen. Burbridge, Union
93
Commander for the District of Kentucky, sent a detail of federal soldiers there, with
orders for a captured guerrilla to be shot upon the spot, in retaliation. Under this same
retaliation edict, William D. Darbro of near Dallasburg was one of four men sent under
guard from Lexington to Pleasureville and there shot in retaliation for the death of two
negros in that community. In August of that same year, two Lingenfelter brothers,
William P. and John, and John Wainscott, all of Owen County, were taken on Gen.
Burbridge's orders from a prison in Lexington to Williamstown, where they were shot
by Federal troops. The Lingenfelters are buried about two and a half miles northeast of
Lusby's Mill. This execution created great distress in those troubled times.
Even for the men who enlisted in neither army the war years were hazardous times in
Owen County. On one occasion Mit Greene, Bill Jewett, and Jim Kemper were out
looking for their oxen that had strayed, and rode up back of Haydon's Stand. Old Aunt
Bess, the black cook, ran out and told them Yankee soldiers were there, so the three
took off, Kemper and Jewett lying low on their horses' necks, Greene sitting straight in
his saddle. The first two were uninjured in the fusillade of shots fired by the soldiers.
Greene was hit, but recovered. During the rest of his life in wet weather he would
complain "My shot is hurting".
On November 8, 1864, it was time for the general election but Owen Countians were
concerned more with pressing matters. Due to the hostilities of the Civil War, Owen
County , where politics was always a big thing, failed to report any returns in the
presidential election.
On March 26, 1865, a portion of the 54th Kentucky, USA, under Major John D. Russell
and Capt. George T. Buckley came upon a party of guerrillas near New Liberty. They
killed three, wounded three, and dispersed the rest. In 1864 the vise tightened as the
power of the industrial North was brought to bear on the agricultural and blockaded
South. And so in April 1865, the war between the States came to a halt at Appomattox
Courthouse, Virginia. The war over, Owen County men returned to their homes; recent
opponents lived as neighbors in peace. The Crittenden family had epitomized
Kentucky's division. When the compromise efforts of Senator John J. Crittendon had
failed, one son, Thomas, became a Union general, while another, George, joined the
Confederate Army against his father's wishes. With the cessation of hostilities, veterans
of both armies, as the years passed, would talk of the war without animosity. Some of
the mountain feuds did have their origins in the war years, buy grudges were not held
in Owen County.
***************
Kentucky Time Line Article of 1863/1864 "A Time of Much
Bloodshed"
November 3, 1864-William Long of Maysville, W. Tighe of Williamstown in Grant
County, William D. Darbro near Dallasburg in Owen County, and R. W. Yates of
Bacon Creek in Hart County, arrested on their way to join the Confederates. All shot to
death, bodies still lying on the floor at the depot where shot 16 hours later.
“Of special significance to our family is the fact that this war placed family against
94
family, brother against brother. I have personally read of the tragic events of this civil
war and the fact of it being a war of relative against relative, some serving under The
Union Forces while others fought under the Confederacy. Everything was so distant to
me then, as I had no intimate knowledge of the extent to which they related. Now,
having a clearer and more personal understanding, it just makes such a war even more
disgusting. None of us should take pleasure from this tragic event. In honor of those
who fell, I have to ask of myself and you. “What more could one have given than his
life.” Bob Darbro.

Notes for Christina Darbro
Information from Dorothy indicates that Christina is in the 1850 census living in
Gallatin Co. with her son John. She is listed as 93 (1757). Obviously, something is
incorrect here. This has since been checked and found to be a census record for John
Jackson in 1850 Gallatin County.

James A. Darbro was born 1842 in Carroll Co., Ky. He was married to Elizabeth “Ella”
Alcorn on November 7, 1866 in Carroll Co., Ky., a marriage confirmed by Mary
Knapp. Ella was the daughter of William Alcorn, a brother to Elizabeth Alcorn and
Alice Swango Alcorn, the second wife of Thomas Darbro. I have just recently found his
civil war record which has his name listed as Darbow, serving the Confederacy from
Kentucky. He enlisted September 10, 1862 from Owen Co., Kentucky.
The marriage document for James and Ella has been examined by Mary, and found to
indicate that additional statements were required from the parents of both. Those
statements were not part of the document viewed, but this is not a normal pattern of
events. After giving it considerable thought, we have arrived at the conclusion that the
statement had reference to their relation. Elizabeth “Ella” Alcorn, the daughter of Alice
“Alcy” Swango Alcorn and William Alcorn would have been step-brother and sister
through the marriage of Alcy to Thomas, the father of James A. Then they would have
been 1st cousins because Elizabeth and William, a parent to each were brother and
sister.
1866 Owen County tax record had James Darbro with 18 acres valued at $200, 1 horse
@ $50, 2000 lbs. tobacco, 100 Bu. Corn. . My documentation.
1867 Owen County tax record had James Darbrough with 35 acres valued at $350, 1
horse, 400 lbs. tobacco, 100 Bu. Corn. My documentation.
1868 Owen County tax record had James Darbrough with 36 acres located on Eagle,
valued at $350, 1 horse @$50, 400 lbs. Tobacco. My documentation.
1880 Owen Co. census information lists James as 31, Matilda as 26, Anna as 4, Sarah as
age 2. Jennie was not listed.
A newspaper article in the local News Democrat of Carrrollton relates to a reunion of
the 4th Kentucky Calvary in June 1885. The reunion was held in Carroll Co., KY and
featured many speakers, lasting several days. J.T. Alexander of Owen Co. was the
Captain of Co. C., 4th Calvary, of which James and William were members. James
Darbro was in attendance at the reunion. William, an original member of this company
was later transferred to Co. K. Union Forces at Pleasureville executed him on
November 30, 1864. The 4th Kentucky Calvary was formed September 10, 1862 and
surrendered April 30, 1865 to General Hobson at Mt. Sterling, Ky.
1900 Owen Co. census information, given to me by Dorothy, has James born Dec.1842
and gives his age as 57, married 26 years. Matilda was 48, the mother of 10 children
with 6 living. Anna born April 1876 and 24. Sarah E. was listed as Sallie born January
100
1878, age 22. Jennie is shown as being born Sept. 1879, James in July 1887, Victor in
Oct 1889. Mattie in June 1895.
1910 Owen County, Ky. census listed James W. and Matilda. He was 67 (1843), she was
57 (1853). Daughter Sallie was 26 (1884). Son Jimmy W. was 22 1888). Son Victor was
19 (1891). Daughter Mattie was 14 (1896). All of them were born in Kentucky.
************
Personally, I have many questions about James, his marriage, and then the assumed
death of Ella, said to have occurred about 1872. We have evidence of him being alive as
late as 1882, as evidenced by the reunion information. To my knowledge, nothing has
been documented for him since that. I know I have done quite a lot of research, never
finding anything. The records I have researched include tax records, census records,
and even the official death records of Kentucky. I might add, those same records did
not have the death certification of James W. Darbro who died in January 1922, a period
well within the perimeters requiring a death filing with the state of Kentucky.
Let me make it very clear. I am not suggesting anything other than the obvious, which I
see as this. James A. Darbro was married in November 1866, following his service with
the Confederacy. He was married to Ella, a daughter of Alcy, and the second wife of his
father Thomas. Ella was from a previous marriage, her father a brother to the first wife
of James father, Thomas. As previously stated, they would have been 1st cousins and
Stepbrother and sister. I am positive this would have caught the attention of the
officials, requiring the special certification during the process of their marriage
application. Then we find a death date for Ella, origin unknown and most certainly
unverified, claiming that she died about 1872, just prior to the marriage of James W.
Darbro and Matilda Jackson in December 1873. James A. resurfaced again in 1882
during a reunion of his former military unit, never to be heard of again. The other,
James W. was not included in the Kentucky Death Records, as required by law,
although we do have evidence of his death and burial at the Worthville Cemetery.
Would any of this indicate a parallel, one to the other? Yes, I am aware of the difference
in their middle initials, which may be the only defining variation. I have heard the
argument of him being with Martha in the 1860 census. So, let's examine that entry. As
I recall, James age was 19, indicating a birth date of 1841, as compared to the 1842 date
for James A. Would that, in itself, have any definitive meaning? I might also point out
that the 19-year-old James in the 1860 census did not have a middle initial, which again
has no defining meaning. Then recall the various other census information for James
W., indicating a contradiction of his birth date, several of them confirming my interest
and comparison. Study and compare the information of the two. I am positive that you
will reach the same conclusion I have arrived at. Could it be?

Sarah Jane Darbro was born 1845 in Carroll Co., Ky.. She married James W. Bennett,
August 31, 1874 in Carroll Co., Ky..
Child of Sarah Jane and James W. Bennett

I have several Bennett names in my family file, unfortunately unattached. Some of their
dates would fit nicely, but without documentation they cannot be used here. I am
positive there is a lot we do not have for this family, most certainly indicating that
additional research is warranted.

Eli James McGavock Darbro was born March 1846 in Carroll Co., Ky., and died
October 22, 1922. He married Sarah E. Martin on September 08, 1868 in Owen Co.,
Ky.. She was the child of Edmon and Delia Paris Martin, born April 15, 1850, and died
on January 22, 1916 in Carroll Co., Ky. Both are buried at Gap Hill Cemetery,
Carrollton, Ky.

1910 Carroll Co., census lists him as 68 and wife Sarah E. as 60. Daughter Nora Lee is
20. Their grandson Jessie Morris, age 16 was living with them. They were all born in
Kentucky. We believe Mack was named after a Eli James McGavock (no Darbro), a
doctor that practiced in the area. Dorothy an Wesley state that Mack was
excommunicated from the church because of his behavior on Sunday. He is said to have
drank and even gone fishing on the Sabbath.
1920 Carroll County census, Carrollton Prec. has Mack listed as living with his son
Riley, his age 73. This would have been after the death of Sarah. Lillian Eaves told me
of her grandfather living with them. She told a story of her getting upset about not
being able to have her way about something and was lying on the floor kicking and
screaming, something all of us with children can recall. Attempting to console her, he
got on the floor mimicking her tantrum. Do we have to wonder where the Darbro
playfulness came from? Many examples are related to in these pages.

A Story of Tapps Ridge
On October 30, 1957 an Air Force Jet, based at Standiford Field, Louisville, Ky.
crashed on Tapps Ridge, just 60 feet from the home, and 20 feet from a barn on
the farm of Blanton Darbro. The impact was of such force as to create a crater
about 30 feet in diameter, requiring a 25 foot depth hole to retrieve parts of the
airplane and body parts of the pilot, Lt. Richard Lloyd Hudson, 22 of Louisville.
Lt. Hudson was on a night training flight to Cincinnati, Indianapolis and
returning to Louisville Standiford Field in Louisville. According to Lt. Blythe,
108
an accompanying pilot, Lt. Hudson was flying an F86 Saber jet at 18,000 feet
and had been in the air about 22 minutes when he dropped through the clouds
and out of sight. Lt. Blythe indicated that while he did not see the actual crash,
he did see the flash from the impact through the clouds. He said that he had
noticed that the plane of Lt. Hudson had been weaving and flying "loose". An
attempt to contact with the aircraft by radio was unsuccessful. An oxygen
failure was thought to be responsible, causing the pilot to become unconscious.
Harold Peters, a laborer on the Darbro farm was the only eye-witness,
indicating that the plane was not in flames when coming down, but exploded
with a gigantic force upon impact. Fragments of white-hot metal were scattered
within a quarter-mile of the site of impact, starting grass fires in the yard and
pastures. Mr. Peters awakened Mr. and Mrs. Darbro, and son Harold Darbro
upon his arrival at the Darbro home. Both of the elder Darbro family had been
in frail health for some time. Neighbors miles around the scene were awakened
by the impact, many appearing to view the wreckage.
The salvage operation was performed by a Air Force crew from Standiford
Field, with the wreckage removed by truck and returned to Louisville.

Marriage Notes for Thomas and Aelcy Darbro
Thomas Darbro married Alice "Alcy" Alcorn on March 14, 1858. She was the wife of
William Alcorn, a brother to Elizabeth, the first wife of Robert. Aelcy's maiden name
was Alice Swango, the child of William and Nancy Swango. There were two children
from her marriage to William Alcorn, Elizabeth b. Abt 1844 and Nancy b. Abt 1849.
The Eagle Station handout indicated that Nancy was a child of Thomas and Elizabeth.
Obviously, this was a research error.

Sarah Darbro was born Abt. 1809 in Warsaw, Gallatin Co., Ky., and died Abt. 1849 in
Kentucky. She married Jesse Alcorn, April 16, 1830 in Gallatin Co., Ky., son of Robert Alcorn
and Susannah Turpin Welch. He was born April 16, 1803 in Gallatin Co., Ky., and died in
Owensburg, Greene Co., Indiana. Sarah’s birth date is arrived from the marriage application
to Jesse which states that she was 21 in the year of 1830, the year of marriage.
Notes for Jesse Alcorn
Charlotte Smith shares a story of Jesse and Sarah’s marriage. Sarah died, leaving Jesse with 7
children. Not long after that William, the husband of Phebe, was killed while working on a
bridge project, her being left with 4 children. The two were married less than a year after
William’s death. She told of Jesse being an alcoholic, very brutal to Phebe, and never a good
father to the children of Phebe from her marriage to William.
William Henry disliked Jesse so much that he left home and went to Indiana where he met his
future wife, Rebecca Ann Rush. This seems to fit well with the 1850 Owen Co, Ky. census when
William H. was living in the Mahoney house. You may recall, most of the people in the house
were born in Indiana, leaving me with the assumption that he would later move to Indiana with
them.

All were living in the same household. Please note the age variation as compared to the 1850
census information.
Wesley states that some of the ages of their children may be wrong. He indicated that Anna was
born in 1857, Thomas born 1850. I might point out that neither of them appeared in the 1850
Gallatin County census above. He indicated that they moved to the Owensburg, Indiana before
1860 and were listed in the 1860 census, page 243, of Owensburg, Indiana. I might add that the
1860 Census record, just recently located, corresponds exactly with Wesley's assessment of the
children's ages.
Jesse is also listed in an Alcorn family book printed in 1903, about an Alcorn family reunion
held in 1900. The book was owned by Abblie Alcorn. It was described as about the size of a

This information was included in a packet of information I received from Kenneth Mercer,

Jesse filed for divorce from Phebe April 23, 1866. Wilma Crane indicated that she believed
Phebe died before the divorce was final, as no record was ever found of the divorce being
granted, and Jesse was married to Mary Padgett on August 12,1866 in Greene County, IN.

Mary Ann Alcorn was born Abt. 1833. She married Robert Alcorn, September 01, 1853

Roberts cemetery. Witnesses to the marriage were George W. Darbro and James
Allcorn. Mary Ann does not show up on the census when Jesse and Phebe were
married in 1849 and she would have been 16 - where was she? I have added this entry
which was found in an Alcorn Family gedcom file that was quite extensive. Their file
had no Polly Ann listed for the children of Sarah and Jesse. Was Polly a nickname for
Mary? Robert’s father was a brother of Jesse Alcorn, making this a 1st cousin
marriage.

Nancy Darbro was born 1812 in Gallatin Co., KY. She married George Troxel b. 1794. He
married (1) Sarah Rice, April 03, 1816, daughter of William Rice and Susan Moore. He
married (2) Nancy Darbro, April 16, 1833 in Gallatin Co., Kentucky, daughter of Robert
Darbro and Mrs. Darbro. She was born 1812 in Gallatin Co., KY. He married (3) Nancy
Hammonds, Abt. 1852 in Probably Henry Co., Ky., daughter of John Hammonds, a surveyor.
Nancy was married 3 times. (1) Goerge Troxell abt. 1842. (2) Will H. Johnston (Johnson?) on
October 17, 1873. (3) H. Blackaby on October 20, 1884.
Prior to getting into any historical information for this family, I find it necessary to inform you
of the confusion surrounding this marriage. The Troxell family, in a very kind manner,
questioned the marriage of George to Nancy Darbro. They have a very extensive research,
appearing to be more than willing to accept the marriage, if presented factually. Tommy
Troxell, a family researcher, contacted me wanting any information I could provide that might
clear up the confusion. She indicated that she had previously discussed this with Dorothy
Dailey and Mary Knapp. Tommye told me that Dorothy had given her a marriage date, but was
unable to provide any supporting documentation. Tommye, through a researcher, checked the
Gallatin County marriage records and was unable to find the marriage record. Mary Knapp
made a trip to Gallatin, and came away with the same results. I searched for the marriage in
Frankfort with the same results. In view of that and the fact that the Troxell family has the
extensive research, I think we have to question this marriage and resulting children. I have
been informed that they have documentation for all the children, except Nancy and George
Henry Troxell, as being born to marriages other than Nancy Darbro.
Troxell History
John Troxel was b. 1736, d. 1795 in Scott Co., KY. He married Maria Margaretha Trachsel.
The Troxal family originally came from Switzerland to Germany, back to Switzerland, then to
124
the U.S. during 1733 on Ship Samuel. A second brother coming at a later date. They settled in
Egypt Twp, Buck Co., PA. Later moving to Maryland, Virginia, then to Scott Co., KY. I would
suspect that they are the great-grandparents of George Troxell.
George Troxell lived in Henry Co., Ky., documented through various census records. Robert
Darborough, age 80, occupation-hatter, is documented in the 1850 Henry County census living
with George and a Nancy age 25, a Nancy age 16 and other children. This census remains a
mystery as to what actual meaning would be implied from the information. Robert was not in
the 1860 census and was assumed to have died after 1850, most likely January 20, 1852. Living
next door was Jno Troxell, assumed to be his brother. The 1851 Henry County tax records had
him owning 50 acres later determined to have been received as a land grant. We now know that
the 50 acre property was located on Six Mile Creek. It is suspected as being around an area
known as N. Etherington Mill, which may have been the name of a sawmill owned by James
Etherington, likely located near Lockport, Ky. Lockport is on the Kentucky River directly
across from Gratz, Owen County, Ky. That property now has a cemetery located behind the
home. The parents of Mary’s son-in-law lived in the home prior to the current residents, the
son-in-law of Mary. Mary found a Henry County Cemetery Map, listing a total of 214
cemeteries. They are numbered and pinpointed as to location. Additionally, we have
information of where several of the Troxell family lived and are buried. One location is
Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, which was visited and photographed by Mary. Personally, I find it
very interesting that all of this information is occurring around the Lockport area, and it’s
proximity to Owen County, which is located just across the Kentucky River. This area is in the
immediate vicinity of Eagle Station, New Liberty, Sanders, Wheatley (Dallasburg), and the
general area where all of our early history occurred.
I have to wonder if Robert went to that area in search of work at the sawmill, locks or the roads
that were being built. There was a lot of business activity around there at that period.
Currently, this is the only crossing of the Kentucky River from there to Carrollton. Although
the locals told me that there was a ferry prior to the existing bridge. I have since learned that
there was a small community named Harper’s Ferry, located in the area around the mid 1800
era. I just recently learned that it is located on Hwy 561 or Grub Ridge. For your information,
there are several cemeteries very near. This information leads me to believe that if we ever find
the burial place of Robert and wife, it will be in this general area. Please refer to the Henry
County Cemetery section for additional information and a copy of the map.
The following documentation is in the Henry County marriage records. John Trazall married
Susan Rice June 25, 1846. He is believed to be the brother of George, and the one living next
door in the 1851 Tax records. George Troscell (Troxell) married Sarah Rice April 3, 1816,
which was his first marriage. I have been told that McCreary Co, Ky. has a John Troxell
cemetery. John died there in 1858. Additionally, Ohio Co. marriage records show a marriage
for Frederic Troxal and Jane Cox on April 13, 1818. He is believed to be another brother to
George and John.

As we discussed previously, these children are the only remaining possibilities of children,
which may have been from an alleged marriage of George Troxell and Nancy Darbro, who was
alleged to be born in 1812. The marriage was suggested by Dorothy, questioned by the Troxell
family, with no supporting documentation ever found. This subject, since that occurrence, has
been researched, discussed, and compared to every item of research material available to both
families. Every attempt has been made to find evidence that would confirm a marriage, and
resulting children. Each child initially listed has been eliminated, with the exception of Nancy
and George Henry.
Let us examine the evidence. Consider that Nancy Darbro is alleged as born in 1812, married to
George Troxell in 1833, which would have been after the death of his first wife Sarah Rice.
They are documented as being married on April 3, 1816, with 5 children as a certainty from
that marriage. Our first evidence would be the 1840 census record that has the older female,
presumed to have been the wife, as 20-30 years of age, with a corresponding birth date of
1810/1812. This could be considered as a positive toward such a marriage. However, consider
that this census record would not confirm 1834 Nancy as being child. In fact, the opposite
would be the assumption.
Our next comparison would be the 1850 census record that has George as 76 years of age, the
assumed wife named Nancy as age 25, and a difference of 51 years between the two ages.
Personally, I find it very difficult to accept an elderly male of this age married to a female so
young. However, there was an additional female in this census named Nancy with a
corresponding birth date of 1834, matching exactly the Nancy above. Most certainly we would
not arrive at the conclusion that the 25-year-old was her mother, there being only an age
difference of 9 years. Assuming the evidence of a marriage could be produced, which has not
occurred. We might make the assumption that Nancy died prior to this census record, or we
may conclude that this 25 year old female is attending to 2 elderly males, those being George
Troxell and Robert Darborough, and the children from another family. Most certainly we
cannot assume a functional family from the facts given in this census record.
Our next piece of evidence would be taken from the 1860 census that has George as 74, two
years younger than he was 10 years previously. Then we have a wife Nancy as 48, with a
corresponding birth date of 1812, identical to our alleged Nancy Darbro. We do have
documentation of this marriage between George and Nancy Hammonds in 1852, with several
children born of that marriage. Next, consider that some of the children of this marriage are
listed in the 1850 census, suggesting that the marriage occurred before 1852 and Nancy
Hammond's age was incorrectly recorded, which I tend to believe was the case.
In conclusion, we would have to accept an unknown for either argument. I must say with all the
research surrounding the 1833 Nancy Darbro marriage, it would lead one to believe that it
should have surfaced. I know I have checked on several occasions, Mary even going further.
She had a search performed in the early Gallatin County records of Dr. Borgardus, and
Gertrude Hewson's for the period of 1799/1906. There was nothing found for George and
127
Nancy, or for any spelling that might have been close to Troxal. The same researchers did the
same for Carroll, Henry, Owen, and Henry Counties, again nothing. I might add that I have
searched all those counties as well. Weighing all the evidence that anyone has produced it is
very clear that there is no creditable evidence of a marriage occurring between George and
Nancy Darbro. In fact, there is nothing to indicate that she ever existed, possibly a research
error. We are closing research of this entry, but are willing to reconsider if anyone has evidence
to the contrary.

Garrett Troxal, b. 1843
Rebecca Troxal, b. 1844/1848, married to John William Blackaby on April 9, 1878 most
likely in Henry County.
Notes for Rebecca Troxell
I might add that Mary Knapp has provided me with information that would indicate 2
schools of thought for this entry. First would be the thought process of Tommye Troxell.
She indicates that Rebecca, born September 14, 1843 was married (1) John Roback,
with no children, (2) married John William Blackaby with 2 children. Richard and
John William Jr., b. November 1, 1855 in Henry County.
The second thought process would be that of Paul Troxell, again through Mary,
indicating that Rebecca was married to John Blackaby, with no children. John did
have a brother Richard "Dick" Blackaby that married and had a total of 21 children.
One female child becomes married to an Alfred Troxell.

William Darbro was born 1815 in Gallatin Co., Ky., and died 1849 in Gallatin Co., Ky.. He
married Phebe Ann (Mullikin) Reed, January 10, 1836 in Owen Co., Ky. She was the daughter
of Benjamin Mullikin and Sarah Green, born 1810 in Shelby County, KY.
128
William was first listed in the tax records in 1836, most likely the basis of his birth date.
1840 Henry Co. census, page 270, has him listed and spelled as William Darboo, the same
spelling is used on page 274 for Robert Jr.

William is said to have died in 1849. However, a William, age 30 appears in the 1850 census
living with Jesse Alcorn and wife Phebe Mulligan, who were married October 25, 1849. This
census record can be found in the 1850 census, page 319, of Gallatin Co., KY, and is
documented below. Initially, this was believed to be an error, or the son William Henry.
However, A William H. is found in the 1850 Owen Co. census, age 17, page 235, living with a
group of men and 1 female cook. It appeared to be some sort of boarding house. This entry
would make us question his 1849 death date and to wonder who the William in this census is, if
not the 1815 son of Robert. I have copies of both these census records. Additionally, a William
Darbrough is listed in the Owen Co. marriage records, Roll #272768, page 121. The marriage is
for William and S.P. Baucum on February 18, 1880.
Notes for Phebe Mulligan (Reed) Darbro
Dorothy told me that Phebe was an only child. She was born about 1811 around the time that
her father went to war. He was wounded and died. Her mother Sarah Green Mullikin was
remarried to Simon Wood before 1820. Dorothy has told me that Benjamin, Phebe’s father,
had a brother named William Mullikin who was married to Sarah “Sally” Scott and they had
one female child, unnamed, that was the right age to be Martha Mullikin, who may be the wife
of 1817 Robert Jr. Darbro. Martha was the 4th wife of Moses Jackson.
Phebe first married Peter Reed on August 9, 1830 in Owen County. The letter of consent was
signed by her step-father Simon Wood and her mother Sarah. Her second marriage was to
William Darbro. I do not have a copy of this, but it is on the Owen Co. website, verified as
January 10, 1836. Darbrow being the exact spelling he used. The Marriage Bond was signed by
William P. Sneed. They were married by Joseph Caldwell. Her third marriage was to Jesse
Alcorn on October 26, 1849 in Gallatin County. The marriage bond was signed by Jesse Alcorn
and Robert Darbrow. Her name, as it appeared on the marriage document was Phebe Ann
Darbro. This marriage ended in divorce, with Jesse Alcorn suing Phebe during May 1866 in
Greene County, Indiana. I do have a copy of this document.

Co., Kansas m. (2) John D. Gay, 1903, Brownsville, Coffey Co., Kansas.
Notes for Mary Elizabeth Darbro
Elizabeth “Lizzie” married John Cane in Burlington, Kansas. After the death of John
Cane, she married John D. Gay in 1903 and lived at Brownsville, up to the time of her
death. Her burial location is unknown. Brownsville was a small town in Chautauqua
Co., Washington Township during the late 1800’s into the early 1900’s. The town was
established in June 1883 and discontinued by 1903. It was located 7 miles south and
about 3 miles west of Elk City, Kansas and was named after H. Brown, owner of a store
mill and a cattle business.
Wesley has her birth as October 14, 1834 and can be viewed in his writings. He went on
to say that the 1850 census listed her as born in 1843, the 1860 census as 1845.
6.3
William Henry Darbro was born May 18, 1839. I have been told that his birth place was
130
Clark Co., but I believe that to be incorrect, as William is documented as living in
Henry County at that time. William Henry died February 27, 1896 in Oklahoma City,
Ok., and is buried in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He married Rebecca Ann Rush
January 26, 1864 in Green Co., Indiana, daughter of John Rush and Elizabeth ?. She
was born November 10, 1844 in Bloomfield, Indiana, and died January 17, 1911 in
Mound Valley, Kansas.
Notes for William Henry Darbro
1850 Owen County census, page 235 has William H.Darbro listed, his age 17 living in
Owen Co. He was living with a Mr. Mahoney and a group from Indiana and a couple
from Ky. All were men except for a female cook. Dorothy indicates that he would have
been 11 at this time, not 17, as listed. She went on to say that this may be William, the
son of Thomas, who would have been 14. However, William Henry does not appear in
the same year census with Phebe and Jesse Alcorn, while William, son of Thomas does
appear in the 1850 census living with his father. Consider all the entries and make your
own judgement as to who this was.
Dorothy informed me that William Henry said, in his own language, that he was born in
“Curk”. She has no idea where that was. As stated earlier, William was documented in
the 1839 Henry County tax records. This would eliminate "Curk" as being a county.
There may have been a town by that name, although none exits at this time.
1870 census has William in Montgomery Co., Kansas.
Charlotte said that William Henry moved down by Oklahoma City about 1895 to
homestead there. Because of his war injuries during the civil war he was released on
disability and was able to draw $8.00 per month from Social Security.
Wesley said that he believes that several of Williams’ line are still living in Nebraska
around the Aurora, Neb. area. This has proven to be correct and a part of that family is
included within this book.

recuperating and asked if any were from Indiana. Upon learning that William Henry
was from Indiana, they talked about his injuries. William Henry injuries included the
shattering of both arms to the point that amputation of both arms was being
131
considered. William Henry resisted sleep, thinking that should he go to sleep they may
amputate the arms This was something he did not want and apparently fought against
that. General Grant, upon learning of this, had William Henry taken to his personal
tent where his doctor could examine him. The doctor was able to save both arms.
William Henry was so grateful to General Grant that he named his first child Ulyssis,
after the general. He was discharged September 1862 on disability. He and wife
Rebecca and 4 children settled in Radical City. Apparently this is Kansas as Charlotte
stated earlier that he moved to Oklahoma about 1895. His brother Edward and Uncle
Thomas were living with him. I am not sure who that would be. Possibly it was an uncle
of his wife, as the uncle Thomas on his side was 1802 Thomas Darbro, my
gggrandfather and I know he never moved to Kansas.
Dorothy gives details of the above historical fact essentially the same, but with a couple
of exceptions. She gave the following from his war record. He had a gunshot perforating
the left forearm received at the Battle of Shiloh April6, 1862. He had wounds to left and
right arms and lead in the spine which left a distinct scar and permanent results. She
indicates that General Grant was riding through the camp and either heard or noticed
what was going on. General Grant has his physician get involved, just as above. The
arms were saved and William Henry promised to name his first child after General
Grant. She was a girl and was called Lizzie. I specifically asked her about the uncle
living with him and she had no knowledge of that.
Wesley has his date of birth as May 18, 1841 and is so noted in the history written and
posted on Wesley’s page. He tells the story of William and wife Ann, starting out in a
covered wagon headed west. Along with them were Ann’s sisters Mary and Nan who
were married to John Laughlin and Nelson Price. All of them took claims in 1870 near
Sycamore, Kansas and stayed there until the Oklahoma territory was opened around
1890. They sold their claims, taking new claims in Oklahoma, where Oklahoma City is
located today. In 1908 Ann sold her claim in Oklahoma and returned to Kansas. They
originally lived about 3 miles NW of Radical City, but when she returned she bought a
farm 3 ½ miles NE of Mound Valley, Kansas. After Ann died, George (having returned
from western Oklahoma) and Morton lived on the farm.

Tribute by Rose Scharnhorst Scott
When I was a little girl I spent a lot of time with my Grandpa, John Clark
Darbro. He would take us kids to the river, not very far from where we lived.
We would fish, There could be a few kids or quite a lot – my brother Ernest, my
cousins Charles and Gilbert Darbro, at the time they lived with Grandma and
Grandpa. The Burchman boy, the Allen kids, Mildred and Jr.Newton,
sometimes my Texas cousins- Margaret, Ella Mae and Anona. We would have
lots of fun in the water, Grandpa had a long seine and we would drag that,
sometimes we would get some pretty good size fish. The little ones we would put
on a stick and roast them on a camp fire next to the river. I don’t remember
cleaning them, but surely we did. The big ones we took home and Grandpa
would clean them. The catfish had large air sacks, Grandpa would try not to
break them, they would dry in the sun and we would get to stomp them to hear
them pop. One time I had waded out too far and stepped in a deep hole, after
that I stayed where Grandpa said to stay. I will never know how he watched so
many kids.
Another thing we did was go to the hobo camp. They were men that rode the
rails, looking for work. It was during the depression when work was hard to
come by. The hobo camp was next to the river. We would walk down there and
visit with the men. There was a large cottonwood tree that the camp was under.
There were old car bodies that they slept in and boxes that they used for tables
and orange crates that they set on or tree stumps. Grandpa called the camp the
Hoover Hotel because at that time Hoover was President. Some times they
would come to our house, looking for a meal, one time to borrow a can opener,
which they returned.
Not only was that the depression but also was during the dust bowl. I can
remember Mama hanging wet sheets and towels to the window to keep out the
dust. Although it was a depression, my dad (Owen Scharnhorst) always had
work, he was a mechanic. People drove cars and sometimes going west they
would break down and my dad would work on them, sometimes he got paid and
sometimes not. I remember one winter daddy bringing them home with him,
they had no money and no place to sleep. One time a family of 3 stopped, he
fixed their car, gassed it up, gave them $10.00 and sent them on their way.
133
There was one man that spent the winter with us and worked for daddy for his
room and board.
Sometimes Grandpa would take us kids out snipe hunting. We would stand and
hold those gunny sacks for a long time waiting on the snipe’s but we never got
any. There were times when we would go walking along the railroad tracks,
Grandpa carried a long stick, I think it was a cane pole and he would put it
down in the crevice along the bank and the bats would fly out, that was fun but
scary.
Many times we went to the city dump, that was about 10-12 blocks from our
house. The old fellow that looked after the dump was very dirty, but Grandpa
like to visit with him, we called him cuckle burr, I never knew his name, he lived
in a little shack about 10 x 12 that was built from scraps and shingled sides and
roof with old car tags. We would play all around the dump, sometimes we would
even find something good, like I found a unopened box of ex-lax, all the way
home my Texas cousin Anola tried to talk me out of it, so finally I told her she
could open it, but she wouldn’t give it back. She ate all of it so I guess that
probably taught her a lesson. I would probably have done the same thing.
Sometimes in the spring and summer, Grandpa would tell stories on his front
porch, always ghost stories and he played the leading part in all the stories. One
was walking through the walls, one was Ole Black Joe, he was the one that
rattled his bones if you went into the cellar so I never went down there. He had
to have a certain number of kids for each story so we would run the
neighborhood looking for kids, then we would have to walk all those kids home.
One time Uncle Johnny and his friend put on sheets and jumped out from
behind a hedge and scared the pee waddin out of some of the kids. When we
wanted him to play his fiddle we even had to find more kids. Let me tell you my
Grandma was not very happy about all those kids stomping around on her
flowers, but it didn’t seem to bother Grandpa.
Another fun activity was to jump rope, play hop scotch. Grandpa was pretty old
but he could turn cartwheels. Back then our streets were dirt and very little
traffic so that is where we played. After a good rain, a day or two later we would
walk along the sides of the road and see who could pickup the curled and dry
mud without breaking them.
We had lots of fun with Grandpa, later I don’t remember when, Grandpa was
gathering walnuts, standing on a limb shaking the tree and the limb broke, he
fell and broke lots of bones, for a long time he was not expected to live but he
did. I can’t remember just when all this took place, but sometime before 1935.
We moved to Vici early summer that year and I entered the 5th grade and I was
born July 16, 1924.
We had so much fun with Grandpa, I have wished many times that my kids
could have had a Grandpa like mine. But theirs didn’t know how to play.

A Story by Granddaughter Mary Scott
John Clark was like a little boy that never grew up. He loved kids
and would take us and neighbor kids to the river to swim, play and
seine for fish, which he would cook on the river bank. He told stories
on the front porch at night to all the kids he could gather up. The
stories were mostly ghost stories and he was always the leading
character in the stories.
Grandpa could jump rope, hop scotch, turn cartwheels and almost
anything else that us kids done. One day Grandpa and Aunt Mae
went to gather walnuts. Grandpa was standing on a limb to shake
the walnuts off when the limb broke and he fell a long way. He had a
lot of broken bones and wasn’t expected to live for a long time. He
finally recovered but wasn’t very active after that. He was a farmer
until he retired and then moved to town.

Notes for Edward Greenberry Darbro
An annual reunion is held the last weekend of September. Year 2000 was held at Elk
City, Kansas on September 29-30. Contacts are Jeanie Werner stwerner@osprey.net
Mary Darbro Persinger- maryp@osprey.net Charlotte Darbro Smith
smith@osprey.com.
Wesley told me that Edward generally signed his name with an “X”, but on his civil war
discharge it was spelled Darbrow. Throughout his later life it was Darbro.
Edward was living in Louisburg, Ky. on October 11, 1846 when he was 17 years old. He
joined the Civil War September 3, 1864 and was discharged on July 6, 1865, serving
with the Union Army. He fought with Sherman from Atlanta to Savannah and up
through the Caroline’s until the end of the war. He served under Lt. Robert R.R.
Stewart and fought in Sherman’s “March to the sea”. Pierce Darbro alludes to the fact
that the exposure to rain, flood waters, swamps and the cold took and extremely high
toll, not to count the fighting. Wesley concluded that Edward was never again as strong
as most men. He married Elizabeth Rush in Indiana and they moved to Montgomery
Co., Kansas and lived with his brother William Henry. His father was killed while
working on a bridge gang while Edward was very small. In 1872 Edward bought 80
acres in Montgomery Co., Sycamore Township. Around 1895 he moved to Chautauqua
County with his wife and 6 children that were living at home. He lived there until his
death. During his later years he made farming part-time and devoted most of his time
being a Holiness preacher.
Wesley notes that the Darbro’s were always Baptist, but Edward married into the Rush
family, who were Methodist. A second note was that the Kentucky Darbro’s fought for
the Confederacy, with both William and Edward on the Union side. Wesley said that it
was clear that they no longer had the fellowship with their cousins, uncles and aunts - so
they moved west and staked a claim. After staying on his claim for 20 years or so, he
sold it and rented the “Widow’s Ranch” near Peebler school and stayed there a year or
two. He then rented the “Garr Place” 1 mile west of Highland Center and stayed there
about 2 years. They then moved from Montgomery Co. to Chautaqua Co. and rented
the “Jimmerson (Vance) Place” in Powell Valley, staying there from 1875-1877. They
then rented the “Campbell Place”, 1st place south of the Ellington Hill and stayed there
2 years or so, before buying the 60 acre “Cunningham Place” across from the
Brownsville Store.
Wesley lists the exact names and birth dates of Edward and Elizabeth’s children as
“exactly as listed in Edward’s old bible”, which was given to him by his Aunt Piersie.
He said that it appears they were entered after 1902, but before 1908. The bible was
printed about 1882 and contains very little Darbro information.

Childhood Years, as told by Velma Darbro
Johnson
I had a happy childhood. My papa was Schyler Clark Darbro and he married
Theodesha Dell Vallie Beard (my mother) March 13, 1902 at courthouse in
Sedan, Kansas with papa’s sister Fatima and her husband John Ramsey as
witnesses.
My parents owned a farm near Hale, Kansas and papa farmed and bad a talent
for carpentry so he built a 4 room house of lumber and that’s where I was born.
I have heard my papa tell of those big, long green Tom Watson watermelons he
raised and would take a wagon load of them to Sedan and sell all before noon.
In 1917 we moved to a farm 5 miles west of Elk City and Gladys was born there
in 1918. My father bought his first car in 1918, a Chevrolet touring car with side
curtains that was put on in rainy weather. Of course in bad, cold weather
(winter) the car set in garage and our transportation was horses and surrey with
side lanterns. My parents were devoted Christians and we attended Sunday
school, Camp Meetings at Chenyvale, Cottage Prayer Meetings and all Revivals
near by - didn’t matter whether was Methodist, Christian, Baptist etc. Before
150
breakfast either mama or papa would read the Bible to us and we would all
pray and also before bedtime. I have many happy memories - we always had
plenty to eat and wear. We girls were given many privileges such as music
lessons. Our first piano was bought around 1920 and cost $450.00. We sure were
proud of it. My parents passed away at age 72 - Mama was a widow for a few
years. Neither had a lingering illness of which I am thankful.

Jerous bought out the children’s part of the home place. He and Persie lived
there until 1920when he sold the place for $2400 and moved to Caney. He and
Persie rented a house on North Wood Street for a few months before Piersie
bought the “Van Tassell Place” on the same street for $600. They lived there
until the fall of 1925 when they moved to the “Powell Farm” which Jerous and
Clark had purchased for $6000, Jerous owning 2/3 interest. Aunt Piersie traded
her Caney place for a nearly new 1928 Chevy. In the fall of 1944 Persie bought a
home in Elk City from her niece Wilma Crane. In 1945 Jerous sold his farm
interest to Ralph Johnson and joined Piersie. He died there in 1946. They lived 1
½ blocks from Rushey. In 1961 she sold the place to Melvin Shaper for $600 and
rented several places in Caney, Sedan and Coffeyville before finally moving to

Hillside Cemetery is located about 3 miles south of Brownsville
(ghost town) located in Chautauqua county. Very small country
cemetery with only a few stones left. The city of Hartland was laid
out in the latter part of July 1885, but little building was done until
late February 1886. In the fall of 1886 there were 213 business and
residential blocks with a population of more than 1000 and rapidly
increasing. By the time Hartland was a year old, it had 74
businesses. Hartland was once known as “The Rose of the Valley”.
In the early 1900’s it was the county seat of Kearney county. In 1894
the court house burned and the county seat was returned to Lakin.
Some entries in the Brownsville Buzzins: May 8, 1913, Zelbert
Darbro from western Kansas came in last week to see his dad who is
very ill. May 23, 1913, Ed Darbro reported a little better. Zelbert
Darbro made a business trip to Elk City Monday. May 30, 1913, Ed

Darbro is very low and not expected to recover.
Charley Algin Owens was a friend to the entire family. He came and
went as the wind, you never knew when you might see him coming,
sometimes to stay only a few days and sometimes longer. He always
had his fiddle and could really make it talk. Everyone enjoyed sitting
and listening to him play. When Mary Alice was born he rode the
horse into Elk City to get the doctor. He almost ran the horse to
death trying to get there fast. He was also an expert pool player. He
was born April4, 1892 and died April 5, 1964. He was a veteran of
World War I, He was no relation until he married Elsie Harpster
and they lived east of the forty. Every Sunday you could see them
running to see who could get to our house first. They always knew
when it was meal time.
The first passenger train a four car special was run to Elk City from
Independence in August 1879. The first real church in Elk City was
built in early 1880 as non-denominational. The building was of
sandstone. The first successful publication of a newspaper was the
Elk City Globe. It appeared on July 28 with a circulation of 300. Elk
City streets were paved in 1888 by pounding crushed rock into them
by the prisoners from Elk City’s jail.
By the fall of 1873 the school population had increased to 47 pupils
and had one teacher at a monthly salary of $40. The population in
1886 grew to nearly 1200, the school enrollment was 380 and the
first high school was established. The first graduating class was 1889
with 8 graduates. By 1910 the population was 659. It cost $7245 to
run the high school in 1940 with 5 teachers and 170 graduates.
Things changed fast in 1945 when the war ended. The barrels of
brown sugar disappeared as did about everything else from years
gone by. Everything was going modern with rising prices and new
conveniences, In 1964 Elk City was a quite thriving little city of 520.
The store all had good business.
Montgomery county is about 25 by 25 miles square feet, first opened
to legal settlement in 1867, but the legal battle was not settled until
1869 when the Osage Indians withdrew into present day Oklahoma.

Elk City was staked out when this county was governed
as Indian Territory. The idea of starting a town
developed in 1868. A Post Office was established in 1870.
By 1871 it was ready to assume the dignity of a city of the
third class.

Story written by Daisy Lee Darbro
Richard Glen Darbro, 1908-1971 son of Zelbert and Gertie Darbro,
born Hartland, Kansas January 29 and passed away in Arizona on
May 4 Richard was working for Mr. Rupp in wheat harvest and met
154
and married the daughter Daisy July 14, 1934 in Sharon Springs,
Kansas.
Richard was a very quiet reserved man and never kept close contact
with any of his family, he was always living so far away. In 1938
Richard and Daisy were living in Texas. Richard was working on
highway construction; they lived in a trailer house he had built in a
small town on the Gulf Coast. From Texas we moved to California
and lived there through the war years. Then they moved to
Syracuse, Kansas where he had the machine shop and apartment
buildings, he was know in Syracuse as Dick, they then moved to the
farm home near Leoti, Kansas. During those years on the farm
maybe late 50’s Richard became affected with Arthritis, the killing
kind, even with the best doctors nothing helped. They went to
Arizona the winter of 67-68 and he seemed better here.
Summer of 68 we rented out the land and came to Havasu, Arizona
and made it our home. Richard was better in Arizona than any other
place. But he couldn’t live in this world. In the summer of 1970 he
fell and broke his hip while treating at Hot Springs in New Mexico.
He never walked again, Daisy brought him home and cared for him
with a power lift and then she knew why she had become a RN.
Daisy is still living there and thinks it is a very good place to live.

Schylor was born at Hartland, Kansas in 1911 and died at an early
age as a result of a broken arm while cranking a car. He was buried
at Lakin Cemetery without a stone on his grave. Daniel and Bonnie
Darbro bought a stone and put it in place May 1998. He was a manly
young man much older than his 14 years. Hartland Cemetery sits on
top of the hill across from where Hartland was located. This is where
they buried the Infant Son. It only has a few headstones left but is
still taken care of. Several years ago someone stole a lot of the stones.

Rushey Darbro was born January 20, 1879 in Neodesha, Kansas,
and died October 05, 1959 in Elk City Kansas. Burial: Rutland
Cemetery. He married Maude Belle Measows on February
06, 1908 in Peru,Kansas. She was born January 09, 1885, and
died May 03,1956 in Elk City, Kansas. Burial: Rutland Cemetery.
She was a first cousin to Gertrude, the wife of Zelbert.
Hard Rock cemetery is located about 4 miles north of Brownsville or ½ mile east
and about 5 miles south of Hale. It is very well taken care of, but most of the
stones are in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. A lot of the stones have fallen over
and have been removed. We could not find a stone for Valentine, but his notice
of death says that is where he is buried. Rutland cemetery is located 7 miles
south and about 1 mile east of Elk City, Kansas in Montgomery County. Nice
little country cemetery that is well taken care of. It was established in 1872.
Rushey was still living with Edward and Gertie but was head of household until
he married Maude in 1908. He continued living in Chautauqua County. In 1915
he lived on a 60 acre farm that was all fenced and had 3 horses, 4 milk cows, 2
other cows, 8 head of swine and 1 cream separator. 30 acres was fenced for
meadow or pasture and he sold $20 worth of poultry and eggs that year. Around
1920 he bought a house in Elk City and moved there. He lived most of his
remaining years there.

Westervelt Nursing Home, Independence, Montgomery Co., Kansas. Burial:
Rutland Cemetery
Aunt Persie and her father got interested in a new church which was holding a
revival meeting throughout the area. It was called the “Fire Baptized Holiness
Church”, probably a mixture of old fashioned Methodism and Quakers. It
began in the 1890’s. Edward became one of it’s minister’s about 1901/1902 and
remained so until his death. He did some farming, but much of his time was
devoted to evangelizing in the area.

Mary Silistine Darbro was born November 05, 1883 in Neodesha, Kansas, and
died October 26, 1964 in Nowata, Oklahoma. She married (1) ? Carson. She
married (2) Frank West, December 10, 1910 in Independence, Kansas. He was
born September 13, 1884, and died January 21, 1941 in Dewey, Oklahoma.
Mary and Frank West are buried in Rutland Cemetery, Elk City, Kansas.
Mary (Darbro) and Frank West lived about halfway between Nowata and
Vinita, Oklahoma during the time they were raising their children. Frank was a
farmer and worked in the coalmines with a pick and shovel and a team of mules.
Mary was a full time homemaker, keeping the children taken care of and the
extra duties involved with the farm. They lived close to the coalmines where
Frank worked so he didn’t have far to go to work. It was the duty of Ruby Fern
and her twin brother Rushy Frank to cut the wood with a 2-man handsaw and
rick it up. In later years they moved between Dewey and Copan, Oklahoma.

Her obituary read: “Nannie Darbro, after many weeks of patient suffering she
was called to rest. Intense pain never overcame the patient nature of the
charming young lady. Her family gave her sweet, tender and faithful love and
care during the period of her sickness. No effort was spared to brighten her life.
She leaves bright evidence that she has gone to a far brighter place than this,
where there is no pain or sorrow.”
I know that this can’t be the Cordia Darbro who married J.A. Wilson in 1898,
but I would have to think she is a namesake.

Kansas. Both are buried in Sedan, Kansas.Pawnee Station located about 40
miles east of Chanute in Bourbon County or about 30 miles north of Girard. In
1940 the population was 85. Ed and Lulu lived in Sedan all of their married
years.
Their sons William and John both died of pneumonia. Ed was very friendly and
outgoing and had a feed store 1 ½ blocks from jail. Lulu stayed home and kept
busy with the house and family. After he retired he moved to farm and after he
got diabetes they moved back to town.

I have read a statement from Dorothy that indicated that he died as a young

Seventh Child of Robert Darbro
7.
Robert Jr. Darbro was born 1817 in Gallatin Co., Ky., and died Abt. 1856. He married Martha
Blom Mullikin, abt. 1837. She was the daughter of William and Sarah “Sally” (Scott) Mullikin.
As evidence of this union we have the Death Certificate submitted by Douglas Andrew Darbro
with the father of 1838Thomas Darbro as Robert Darbro and the mother (Unknown) Miligan.
Then, we have the will of 1802 Thomas Darbro stating that he is leaving $200 to his
granddaughter Nancy, the daughter of his son Robert. This would exclude Robert Jr.
Additionally, knowing that Nancy was the daughter of Amanda, we now know that the 1826
child was named Robert, not Thomas. The comments below are nothing more than my version
of where the records lead us.
Documentation for Robert Jr. Darbro
 1837 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrow, He owned 3 horses. My
documentation. I have assumed this to be Sr.
 1837 Henry County tax record had a 2nd Robert Darbrow, by Douglas. I never saw this
entry. If correct, this would have to be Jr. appearing for the first time and may indicate a
marriage to Martha Mullikin.
 1838 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation. I thought this to be
Sr.
 1838 Henry County tax record had a 2nd Robert Darbrow, by Douglas. I never saw this.
 1839 Henry Co. tax record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation.
 1839 Henry County tax record had a 2nd Robert Darbro-Son. I assume this to be when he
attained the age of 21. My documentation.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 274 has Robert Darboo. Please note the inconsistency in
spelling as to previous entries and the Tax Record. This would have to be Robert Jr.
Darbro. The listing is 1 male under 5, birth range 1835/1840. 1 male under 30, birth range
1810/1840. This has to be Robert Jr. and a son that was born between 1835/1840. A child
matching exactly 1838 Thomas Darbro. Mary and I believe the mother of this child to be
Martha Blom Mullikin, the daughter of William and Sarah “Sally” Mullikin of Henry
County. The same Martha later appearing in an 1860 Owen County census with all their
children, following the assumed death of Robert Jr. James would not have been born at the
time of this census.
 1840 Henry Co. census, page 281 has Robert Darboo. His family includes 1 male under 60. 1
female under 40-50. This census data was verified during my August 14, 2001 visit to the
Kentucky History Center, Frankfort, KY. It was especially interesting, as the age of the
female conflicts with the age of the female in the 1810 census. This is our basis for the
assumption of Robert Sr. as the one married to Alex McDaniel.
161
 1841Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow, Robert Darbrow-son, William Darbro,
who had 1 horse valued at $100. They were separate entries. I have consolidated then for
convenience.
 1844 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbro. He had 1 horse valued at $30. My
documentation.
 1844 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro-son. Mary told me of an email from
Dorothy indicating his listing had 2 male children. I was able to verify only his entry as a
son. I never saw the male children. If true, they would be Thomas and James William
Darbro.
 1845 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro with 4 children, submitted by Dorothy
in an email to Mary. No children were apparent when I viewed the record at the Ky.
Historical Center on August 14, 2001. He did have 2 horses valued at $65.
 1845 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbro with 2 male children, submitted by
Dorothy in an email to Mary, no children were apparent when I viewed this at the Ky.
History Center on August 14, 2001. It did have son beside his name. Could the 4 children
have been for Robert Jr., as he did have Thomas, James W., Jane and Mary A. by this
time?
 1846 Henry Co. Tax Record had Robert Darbrow and George Dawbrow, submitted by
Dorothy. She later told Mary in an email that 4 children were listed. I never saw any
children listed and I never saw George Dawbrow in this tax record on August 14, 2001
when viewed at the Ky. History Center. Robert Darbrow was listed and he still had his 2
horses valued as the same $65. I did note that James Etherington and George Troxell lived
nearby. George Troxell had 50 acres located on the waterway of 6 mile.
 1848 Gallatin County tax record had Robert and William, submitted by Dorothy. I have
never seen this entry.
 1848 Carroll County tax record had Robert Darbro with 46 Acres on Eagle Creek valued at
$184. 1 horse valued at $35. My documentation.
 1849 Gallatin County tax record had Robert Sr., submitted by Dorothy to Mary in an
email. I have never seen this entry.
 1849 Henry County tax record had Robert Darbrow. My documentation.
 1850 Gallatin Co. Tax records had Robert & 4 children, submitted by Dorothy’. Could
these children be Thomas William, James William, Jane and Mary A., the children of
Robert Jr.? Remember Robert Sr. is in Henry County living with George Troxell, 80 years
of age and hardly of the age to have 4 children.
 1850 Henry Co. census, page 423 (Dorothy has page 846) has Robert Darborough as 80
years of age with a corresponding birth date of 1770, his occupation listed as father, born in
Pennsylvania. George Troxal is the head of the household and has additional family listed
162
whose names I have not duplicated here. Living next to them was John Troxal, possibly a
relation of George, as he did have a son and brother named John. However, I am inclined to
think that this John was the brother. Given the fact that Robert is living with George and a
Nancy Troxell, we have to assume that Robert’s 2nd wife died between 1840 and 1850.
 1851 Owen County tax records have Robert Darbro with 1 horse valued at $80, 4 children
between 5-16. My documentation. This was after the death date of Robert Darbro, son of
1802 Thomas, and the husband of Amanda Hornbach Darbro.
 1852 Owen County tax records had Robert Darbro with 1 horse valued at $80, 4 cattle, 3
hogs over 6 months, 4 children between 5-16. My documentation. I think this has to be
Robert Jr. A couple of facts would substantiate that. First Robert, the son of Thomas is
deceased. Second Robert Sr. was said to have died January 1852. Even if untrue, Robert Sr.
would have been 82 and hardly of the age to have children of the ages above, much less
maintaining a farming operation suggested by the cattle and hogs.
 1853 Owen County tax records had Robert Darbro with 1 horse valued at $90, 1 head of
cattle, 4 children between 5-16. My documentation.
 1856-1858-1859 Martha came on the Owen Co. tax record with 3 children, per Dorothy. I
think this would indicate that Robert Jr. died between 1853 to 1855.
 1860 Owen County tax record had what appeared to be Margarett Darbro. This was
verified by Bert, the attendant at the history center and myself.
 1860 Owen County Tax Record listed Martha Darbro, value of property as $80.
 1860 census record Owen Co., Ky. District 2, June 11, 1860, New Liberty
 Head of household Martha Darbro,
30.
Thomas Darbro (b. 1840)
20 farm laborer, 1900 census has birth of

Mary A. Darbro (b.1846)

Lyman (b.1851)
8 male
The age of James would reflect his birth date, which is recorded as December 25, 1839.
 1861 Owen County tax record has Martha with 2 children. My entry.
 1861 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbro. He would have reached the age of 21
and registering for the militia. My documentation.
 1862 Carroll County tax record had James Darbro, submitted by Dorothy in an email to
Mary. I would assume this to be his entry as reaching 21 and registering for the militia.
Confirming his 1840 birth date. I never saw this entry.
 1862 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbrough. This has got to be Thomas William
163
and would verify an 1840 birth date. My documentation.
 1862 Owen County tax record had Martha Darbrough with 2 children between 6-18. My
documentation.
 Martha’s second marriage was to Moses Jackson at her residence in Owen Co., Ky. on July
6, 1865. She was listed as Mrs. Martha Darbro. Dorothy has ruled out the possibility of
Martha being a sister to Phebe as she was an only child. However, she suggests that Phebe’s

Living next door to them was Thomas W. and family. See his entry for the complete report.
However, one point has to be made. Thomas was listed as being age 26, which would
indicate that he was born 1844, or a loss of 4 years of age since the 1860 census above.
 1871 Owen County tax record had Thomas Darbro. My documentation.
 1900 Carroll Co. census record for Thomas W, who was listed in the 1860 census as 20,
indicates that he and Sarah are living with his son Thomas Daniel. b. August 1867 and his
wife May. In that census he was born November 1836. This just confuses things that much
more
Discussions surrounding the mystery of this Family
Initially, Dorothy told me that she believed that Martha was the first wife of 1802 Thomas, a
marriage previous to Elizabeth Alcorn, or a child of 1802 Thomas and Elizabeth. It has even
been suggested that this Thomas never existed, which may be the case, if we consider it to be
under the name Thomas. I know for sure that there was a child born about 1826, evidenced by
the 1840 census. An 1826 child fits exactly, although I have no idea if his name was Thomas,
since names were not part of that census, only age ranges. As for the statement of Martha
having been married to 1802 Thomas. Please remember the ever-whelming evidence against
that. Especially the statement of 1802 Thomas at the time of his second marriage to Alcy
Alcorn. He stated on his marriage document “been married once before”, which would have
been Elizabeth. How more compelling need we be?
Whatever the name of the 1826 male individual, remember that he appeared in the 1840 census
and was gone by the 1850 census. He was living with his father and mother, his age estimated at
14-15. Every member of the household in that census is accounted for, except a 60-70 year old
female, who I can safely rule out as not being his wife. I suggest that we would not reasonably
assume that a 14-year-old would marry a woman 11-12 years his senior, then have 2 children,
all while living at home. The children would have been 1836-1840-1845 (Thomas W.), which I
truly believe was 1838. The other child would be 1840 (James W.), actually born in December
1839.
Should we decide not to accept the 1826 child as the parent of those children, it would raise
question with the Worthville cemetery burial records for James William, which indicate his
165
father and mother to be Thomas and Martha. Equally, we would have to consider the Death
Certificate of Thomas Darbro, assumed to be Thomas W., which indicated his birth to be
December 15, 1845. His age, on that document was 64. His parents were Robert Darbro and
(unknown) Miligan. Two very conflicting documents.
In the 1860 Owen County Census, James was listed as 19, in agreement with his recorded birth
of December 25, 1839, his death records and monument, which indicate his birth as 1840 and
his death as January 8, 1922. This would give the implicit appearance of Martha Darbro, a
widow of Robert Darbro, living with their children. Then consider that when I went to the
Kentucky State Vital Statistics office in Frankfort to obtain a copy of his January 8, 1922 death
certificate, I was told it did not exist. Not only for that date, but it does not exist under any
James Darbro. I was informed that the only existing records were for James Riley and a James
that appeared to be James William Jr., considering the fact that he died in his late 30’s. So,
which information do we rely on?
The 1862 Owen County Tax Record had an entry for Thomas Darbrough, over 21 and
registering for the militia, a requirement at that time. This is the only Thomas, other than 1802
Thomas Darbro found up to 1862. We know that 1802 Thomas was still alive, given the fact
that he was included in the 1870 census. This Thomas Darbrough was listed as 20 in an 1860
Owen County census appearing with Martha, James; Jane; Mary A; M. Frances; and Lyman.
Martha was the head of the household. This tax record entry would equally suggest an assumed
birth date of 1840, plus he would have attained the age of 21 in 1861, requiring his 1862 militia
registration and resulting tax record entry.
The 1900 Carroll County Census indicates that Thomas, the father of Thomas Daniel, was born
November 1836 and had been married to Sarah for 35 years. Then the Death Certificate for
Thomas (assumed Thomas W.), which gives his birth date as December 15, 1845. Two very
obvious inconsistencies
This is where the mystery comes about. If we eliminate 1826 Thomas as the father of these
children. We have to ask who would have been living at that time, of the age to father them. I
submit that to be Robert Jr. As evidence of this I suggest that the child appearing with Robert
Jr. in the 1840 Owen County census, with a recorded age range of under 5, was Thomas W.
Darbro, thus the 1835/1840-birth range. I just recently re-visited that census and can assure
you of its accuracy. Additionally, I believe his correct birth is November 1838, following the
1837 marriage of Robert Jr. and Martha Mullikin.
As proof of my belief, I ask you to consider this. Robert Jr. first came on the tax records in 1837
before he was 21. The only requirement for his appearance would be upon marriage. Then, why
would the 1826 child, assumed to be named Thomas, not appear on the tax list during 18471848, the year he would have reached the age of 21, or earlier, if he was married at a younger
age.
I just recently asked Dorothy where the Thomas came from and she did not recall, saying it
may have been given to her. Specifically, this would point out that there is no documentation
for him under the name of Thomas and since he was on the original Eagle Handout, I think this
would be justification for excluding that name.
A check of the tax entries indicates that a 3rd Robert Darbro did appear on the Carroll County
Tax Records in 1846. He appeared with Thomas and John, who were previously listed in 1845
166
Carroll County Tax Records without him. It does seem strange that Robert appeared just at the
time that the 1826 child would have reached 21. Logically, he could have been the 1826 child of
Thomas and Elizabeth, named after his grandfathers, Robert Darbro and Robert Allcorn.
Having ruled out 1826 Thomas and providing evidence suggesting Robert JR’s attachment to
Martha. I have to ask. Would this evidence be substantial enough to consider my theory,
especially with the compelling evidence of the son, age under 5, appearing with Robert Jr. in
the 1840 census. I might include that Paul Troxell, a relative of George Troxell, confirmed this
entry as accurate. It was located during his research and forwarded to Mary.
Should some still want to believe this Robert to be the son of Robert Sr., we have to consider
that from his first appearance on the tax records in 1836 Gallatin County, he was always in
Henry County with his father, except 1842 and 1843 when he was not found. He did re-appear
in Henry County in 1844 and 1845, making me wonder if he was missed in 1841 and 1843. I
have failed to find any entry for him since the appearance of the Robert in Carroll County in
1846, except in 1850 Gallatin County, which I will explain.
The 1850 Gallatin County Tax Record, submitted by Dorothy, had Robert and 4 children. Her
explanation was that they were the children of William and Phoebe Darbro, following the death
of William. I am compelled to point out that the August 5, 1850 Gallatin County Census, page
319, had Jesse Allcorn and Phoebe Allcorn with 8 children of Jesse from his first marriage to
Sarah Darbro. All are confirmed by name and birth dates. Living in the same household was
William Darbro age 30, with his children appearing under his name. The only child missing
was William Henry who is listed separately in the 1850 Owen County Census, page 471, Family
#139. I have copies of both of those census records. I submit this information to question, was
this 1850 tax record actually Robert Jr. and his children Thomas W., James William, Jane and
Mary A, instead of the children of William.
Then consider that Robert Sr. was in the 1850 Henry County census living with George Troxell.
If the above entry were Robert Jr., as I suspect, he would have been alive during 1849-1850
fitting nicely with the births of M. Frances and Lyman. Additionally, it would provide credence
to a relationship with Martha Miligian as noted on the death certificate of Thomas W. Robert
Jr. could have died in 1856, as Dorothy suggested for 1826 Thomas, leaving Martha as a widow.
Consequently, the 1860 Owen County Census entry, listing her as head of the household and
living with her children.
In search of clarification, let’s follow Robert Jr. and the child I have assumed to be Thomas
W.Darbro. Mary Knapp recently told me of an email from Dorothy having an 1844-1845
Henry County Tax Record with Robert Jr. and 2 children, which would fit nicely with Thomas
W. and James William. While this would be especially important, I have to admit that I did not
see this entry when searching those records. Additionally, she spoke of James William
appearing in the 1862 Carroll County Tax Records, which would indicate his becoming 21, with
a corresponding birth date of 1840. The same date on his monument at Worthville Cemetery.
Would this be compelling enough? If not, consider that 1826 Robert married Amanda Hornbec
in March 1845, with her appearing in the 1849 Carroll County tax records as a widow.
Additionally, she was in the 1850-1857 Carroll County tax record with John and Thomas. I
personally found her and their daughter Nancy in the 1850 Harrison County census living with
her sister Elizabeth and her husband Jacob Albright. Personally, I find it difficult to believe
anything other than a 3rd Robert, the last being a child of 1802 Thomas and Elziabeth.Then,
167
consider the will of Thomas leaving $200 to his granddaughter, a daughter of his son Robert.
Finally, Mary told me of an 1853 Tax Record, emailed to her by Dorothy, of Robert with 4
children. No County given. I checked Carroll County, but found nothing. Given the fact that
Robert Sr. is believed to have died in January 1852 and 1826 Robert dying in 1849, would we
require any more evidence than this. Certainly, we have made judgements with less.
Whatever the facts are, I clearly see a window of opportunity for an association of Robert Jr.
and Martha Miligan Darbro. As for the association of Jane, Mary A., M. Frances and Lyman,
the remaining children outlined in the 1860 Owen County census. I think we can safely assume
that they were not the children of Amanda, as that marriage lasted only a short time and she
took their only child with her to Harrison County. That child was later confirmed as the child
of Robert and the granddaughter of Thomas. Thomas having passed this information to us in
his will, which I have copied in my files and this book.
I would hope that this documentation would put closure to this mystery. Dorothy told me that it
was discussed at length during the Eagle Station reunion, with the direct descendants, and they
were unable to reach any definite decision of parentage. At a later time when Miss Lillian
Darbro was visiting her, in Utah, they worked on it again with the same results. I have to
believe that any reasonable thinking individual would be able to reach a decision from the
evidence submitted within this section and the records of Robert Sr., Robert Jr. and 1802
Thomas. The will of Thomas, in itself should be compelling enough, but I am sure it will not be
enough for some.
The documentation referenced above is from a combination of sources. First, from a “Robert
Time-Line Document” provided to me by Dorothy. I then did extensive research into those tax
entries, confirming most and finding other’s. The majority of her information is in agreement
with my research, although we do have differences for some entries. The last source was the
research information from Douglas Andrew Darbro. This is my visualization of the situation
and the facts right or wrong. I leave the conclusion to you.

1826 Thomas. Note the variance of this census, as compared to 1860.

James William Darbro was born December 25, 1839 in Owen Co., Ky., and died
January 08, 1922 in Worthville, KY. He married Matilda Jackson on December 30,
1873; Burial record shows Matilda was born 1849 and died 1916. She was the daughter
of Moses Jackson and Polly Darbro. She was born January 31, 1849 in Owen Co., Ky.,
and died January 31, 1916 in Eagle Station, Ky. Both are buried at the Worthville
Cemetery.
Notes for James William Darbro
James and Matilda would have been 1st cousins, her the daughter of Polly Ann Darbro
and Moses Jackson, and him the son of 1817 Robert Jr., an uncle to Polly Ann. A search
of the burial records was done by Ann at the IOOF cemetery, Carrollton. She checked
the Worthville Cemetery burial records, finding at James burial, the records indicated
that his father was Thomas Darbro and his mother was Martha Mulligan, contrary to
my assumption. I am sure whoever gave the information was of this opinion. Were they
correct?
1880 Owen Co. census information lists James as 31, Matilda as 26, Anna as 4, Sarah as
age 2. Jennie was not listed.
1900 Owen Co. census information, given to me by Dorothy, has James born Dec.1842
and gives his age as 57, married 26 years. Matilda was 48, the mother of 10 children
with 6 living. Anna born April 1876 and 24. Sarah E. was listed as Sallie born January
1878, age 22. Jennie is shown as being born Sept. 1879, James in July 1887, Victor in
Oct 1889. Mattie in June 1895.
1910 Owen County, Ky. census listed James W. and Matilda. He was 67 (1843), she was
57 (1853). Daughter Sallie was 26 (1884). Son Jimmy W. was 22 1888). Son Victor was
19 (1891). Daughter Mattie was 14 (1896). All of them were born in Kentucky.

Some Early Research Errors
8.
Francis F. (Dorton) Darbro, married to James Hoilt.
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding this child. She was first included in
earlier research as a child of Robert and later deleted. I have to wonder
was it about the record for Francis and James Hoilt that caused it to be placed in
the research to begin with and then deleted. Dorothy, in a letter to Mary Knapp,
indicated that Francis turned out to be Dorton so I am assuming the writing was
such that Dorton was confused for Darbro which is understandable.
However, subsequent research has found no Hoilt or Dorton in the Owen
County marriage records which is where Dorothy indicated the marriage took
place. This needs more research.
9.
Martha Frances Darbro, b. 1820, Gallatin Co., KY, m. James Hoilt, November 24,1839. I have
nothing to verify this individual and am only including it for documentation to the fact that
Dorothy Dailey said there was a Martha Darbro born about 1815/1820 to 1802 Thomas and a
wife earlier than Elizabeth Alcorn, which is undocumented. Additionally, Wesley alludes to this
marriage when referring to his conversations with Forest saying that such a marriage did
occur. I must say this has been thoroughly researched and no such marriage can be, or at least
has not been documented.
Wesley relates to Forest as saying that there were ½ brothers to George Washington, which is
correct. A half brother would be Samuel, the child of Thomas and Alice “Alcy” Alcorn. Mack
also referred to Samuel as his half brother. Johnny Darbro said that Mack had a halfbrother he called “Chinie”. I assumed this was Samuel.
I have to wonder about this 8th child of Robert, as there was an earlier child named Frances F.
or Dorton, who was born abt. 1820. Frances F. was part of the original Eagle Station reunion
genealogy handout. That earlier information indicated she married James Hoilt. Dorothy later
determined this to be an early research mistake, causing her to be dropped as a child of Robert.
I find it interesting that we have a Martha Frances or Frances F. (or Dorton) , excluded as a
child of Robert. Then we arrive at an undocumented previous marriage of 1802 Thomas
Darbro, named Martha Darbro, who is assumed to be the 4th wife of Moses Jackson. The same
Martha Mullikin Darbro who was married to 1817 Robert Jr. It is totally, an undocumented
theory, suggesting that this female was the daughter of 1802 Thomas Darbro, even more
alarming when she is suggested as a wife, all without firm documentation. Firmly, we have very
convincing documentation of her being married to 1817 Robert Jr. Darbro. She is listed in the
1860 Owen Co., Ky. census, after the assumed death of her husband
.
Martha Darbro is documented as the head of the household with children from the marriage to
174
1817 Robert Jr. Darbro. Additionally, the death certificate of 1840 Thomas W. verifies the
mother and father of these children. Please refer to 1817 Robert Jr. for that information. There
was a huge mix- up here and may still require additional research. This has been researched
and discussed many times, with no apparent conclusion, other than mine. I was unable to locate
any documentation which would rectify it, until Douglas Andrew Darbro gave me the copy of
the death certificate of Thomas W. Darbro. The clincher was when the will of 1802 Thomas
Darbro was located. Included was a revision, which left $200 to his “granddaughter Nancy, the
child of Robert Darbro”. Without doubt, this alludes to Nancy, the daughter of Amanda.

Darbow, Jhon married Luce Squyre in Middlesex, England at the Greenford Parish on

Darbro, Jacob b. January 16, 1804, d. January 17, 1872. He worked as a Hatter for the
Bollman Hat Factory of Ademstown, Pa. He is listed on their employee roll for the years 1869
and 1870. His wife was Susanna Darbro b. May 9, 1799 d.October 14, 1886. They had a
daughter Susanna Darbro b. July 22, 1824 d. September 28,1827. She was baptized on
December 26, 1824 with her parents listed as Jacob and Susanna Derby. Her sponsor was
Sarah Gotz. All three are buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery in Denver, Lancaster Co., Pa.
Under the spelling of Darbro. A record of batism was obtained fron the church records with the
assistance of Capri Nolt, an Administrative Assistant at the Muddy Creek Lutheran Church. It
has since been learned that Jacob and Suannah had additional children, the exact number
unknown. We do know of Susannah, b. 1824 and covered above. Sarah b. 1828MC, Mary b.
1830, and Elizabeth b. 1833MC. I have assumed the MC to have some relation to Muddy Creek.
Muddy Creek Reformed Church is located south of PA 171 on Pa Route 897, west of
Adamstown, East Cocalico Twp, Lancaster County, PA. It was founed 1731-1732 as a log
church. Baprismal records for the period 1720-1765 are held by the Lancaster Conty Historical
Society. Baptismal Records for the period 1766-to current date are held at the church.
Mary has since learned that Jacob's wife Susannah, was the daughter of Johan Heinrich
"Henry" Weber, b. January 15, 1773 in Lancaster Co, d. April 24, 1851 also in Lancaster Co.,
Pa. and Eve? Who was b. June 15, 1780, and d. May 21, 1862. We believe them to be buried at
Muddy Creek Cemetery, which has a website listing all burials. Susannah was the first born,
followed by Maria born August 3, 1800; Elizabeth born January 5, 1804, d. September 18, 1895
and married to Jacob Coldren born 1800 d. 1857; Catharine born November 23, 1807;
Johannes born April 14, 1809 d. February 7, 1872 and married to Harriet Messner born 1813 d.
1904; Eve born March 29, 1811; Kassia born March 29, 1913. Johan Heinrich "Henry" Weber
parents were Christain Weber and Anna Maria Dornbach.

Sally M. Darbro born March 1852 4 children, 4 living

This has got to have something to do with the Thomas and Martha Darbro problem. Since I
learned of this, I have searched for verification. So far, I have failed to find it. There is the
possibility that I may have missed it, but I was especially alert when searching the records.

Darbro, John enlisted in the 122nd Pennsylvania Volunteers Co. C., on August
11, 1862 and was mustered May 15, 1863. This unit was organized August 12, 1862 at
Harrisburg, Pa. The unit moved to Washington, D.C. August 15-16 and was attached to Casey’s
command, Defenses of Washington, until September 1862. It was then attached to Platt’s 1st
Brigade, Whipples 3rd Division, 3rd Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, to May 1863. Most in
