LeMasters Chandler Fairchild Wheeler

The maternal line of families of Pack, Chandler, Wheeler, Fairchild, LeMasters, Jayne, Layne, Milliam/Miller are families who have settled in the SE Kentucky the counties of Floyd, Johnson and Lawrence. Hill people, or as great Aunt Trim said "we are Americans". The other maternal line of Wessling, Somers, Schuler, Plagge are immigrants from Germany and Alse Lorraine area of Germany settling in Chicago, IL and Warren Co., PA, traveling to Geneso, IL

New: Added the McSpadden Fairchild connection

Both the DeCourcy and the Pack families settled in 1914 in Redwood County, MN near Walnut Grove. (Laurel Ingalis Wilder books refer to Walnut Grove/Little House on the Prairie, TV series) The Pack farm is still in the family, is two miles on the same road straight east from the Ingalis farm) My mother and her sisters used to play at both places when they were growing up.

Index

In 1985, I created an index to the Table of Contents of 'The East Kentuckian'. by Clayton Cox. This index only includes the volumes dated March 1979 to 1995, up to when Clayton died. Check your favorite Genealogy libraries for copies. This index is not done by specific title. The titles are by county name, or family name first, this way you can find all the articles related to the name or place you are looking for. Copies of periodical are at Allen County Library, Fort Wayne, IN* but not under Clayton's name. KY Historical Society at Frankfort, KY*

*Card catalog on line

As I get the data updated, I will add an index for each family listed above. For personal reasons and copyright issues, I am not putting any gedcoms on this web site.
