JACOB EARNEST MARRIED LUCINDA ADEN IN 1815. THE SECURITY FOR THAT MARRIAGE WAS
     PROVIDED BY WILLIAM EARNEST.  THIS WAS LIKELY JACOB'S OLDER BROTHER WILLIAM
     BECAUSE THE WILL OF AARON EARNEST DATED 24 APR 1814 EXPRESSLY STATES THAT
     WILLIAM, THE OLDEST CHILD, WAS IN CHARGE OF THE FAMILY.

Scott,

Yes, it was a problem sorting out the Jacob's in Warren and Simpson Co., KY
Basically, what it came down to on the marriage of our Jacob and Lucinda
Aden and the Jacob and Lois Thompson whose marriage bann was announced in
early 1815 was that the only way he could be one and the same person, was to
see if Lois Thompson did finally marry that Jacob Earnest.  Come to find
out, she did not  So our Jacob was jilted by Lois and found Lucinda Aden to
marry later in 1815, Sept. I think. Actually, my aunt had hired a
genealogist in KY and had her work on the Earnest line.  I sent the clue
about Lois, which she was able to confirm.  (Sue Cooper is her name)  Sue
also did work for a Wm.Henry Earnest in Titusville, FL.  Come to find out,
his ?g-grandfather was probably a brother to our Jacob Earnest Sr.  I have
gobs of info that my aunt Enid shared with me.	I've written him, and her
now that my aunt is no longer able to do much genealogy.  I'd be glad to
have you come to LV and "get up to speed" on the family history.  I've found
so many long-lost, but now found cousins on the internet through rootsweb.
It's incredible  All this has happened in the last 2 years since I got
on-line
	   Actually, I have you to thank for learning how to be meticulous
about record-keeping, what with those Largents and their land records.	And
yes, I may need help one day with my German /Czeck ancestry.  My mother's
lines are only 3 generations back, due mostly to the language barrier.	I
did find the German parish records in Salt Lake City and was able to read
them because I had done some name extraction and they were in Latin.  But I
would like to get my dad's lines back to their immigration to this country
before I start searching European records.
	    I have often thought if I had other family members that were
searching for the same lines as I, how nice it would be to coordinate the
search,  so maybe we can do that  I have just straightened a SMITH mess. My
grandmother (James Clark's wife) had  SMITH's for grandparents.  I've found
it very helpful to find someone in the county where you're searching to do
footwork for me.  It really paid off with the SMITH's.	(No relationship to
Joseph-- that I can find at this point).
	   Gotta go
Write back.
Lynn
