Sharing My Journey

I've enjoyed exploring my family genealogy for many years but as a retiree, I've been able to devote more time to this hobby.  As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it is always fun to find a new Patriot in one's family tree.  I have found over a dozen currently on both sides of my family.*  Unfortunately, in the pursuit of these Patriots, I haven't always taken the time fill out my trees like I should.  It is now a goal to do more comprehensive research, filling in siblings and sharing the stories that make these ancestors interesting and relevant.  Since there are photos, documents and artifacts, using this format will hopefully make it easier to archive and share these with others. As with all genealogy, the work is never complete.  Sometimes we accept information as accurate that we later discover to be in error.  I will be sharing my research here and provide documentation as proof but if you find anything that you believe to be...

Martin Edrington Sheets and Malinda B. McClenney

Martin Edrington Sheets and Malinda B McClenny were my paternal great-great grandparents.   Martin was born 3 March 1826 in Franklin County, Kentucky to Charles Sheets and Sarah Edrington.  He died in Caddo County, Oklahoma on 11 Aug 1909.  Malinda was born on 23 Sep 1829 in St. Charles, Missouri to Micajah McClenny and Malinda Boone.  She died in Caddo County, Oklahoma on 16 Oct 1910.   The couple married 26 Feb 1851 in St. Charles, Missouri.  As these older marriage records and bond are interesting to see, I'm going to include them if I found them.  You will find Martin and Malinda's record as the second entry on the second page.  This was recorded in St. Charles County, Missouri Recorder of Deeds, vol. 145, pg. 123. Malinda was the child of Micajah McClenney and Malinda (Boone) McClenney.  This couple was married on 13 Dec 1828 in St. Charles County, Missouri.  Micajah was born in Virginia in 1775, moved to Kentucky and...

Charles Sheets and Sarah Edrington

Charles Sheets and Sarah Edrington were my great-great-great paternal grandparents.   Charles was born 5 Feb 1796, we believe in Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky to Martin Sheets and Sarah Aldridge. (I still have no actual documentation of Charles' parentage at this time.  This is what other family historians have concluded.)  Sarah was born 27 Nov 1798 also in Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky.  Her parents were Benjamin Edrington and Lettica (Lettice) Hickman.  Sarah's obituary is quite descriptive, listing many specifics, including the fact that her grandfather, Elder William Hickman, baptized both her and her sister, Fidelia, and officiated at their weddings.  This documented connection to her grandfather helped prove that my family descends from Reverend William Hickman, a Revolutionary War Patriot. The obituary will be included later in this post.   Charles and Sarah were married 5 July 1821 in Franklin County, Kentucky....
