William Allan USHER m. Leona FARTHING of Mayfield, Kentucky and they had two daughters. One was Nelle USHER, who was born November 22, 1889 in Mayfield, Kentucky.

Leona FARTHING was the daughter of Coleman FARTHING and his second wife Damarias Ann SLAYDEN. They were married in Pottsville, Graves County, Kentucky and he died sometime after his 100th birthday in Mayfield, Kentucky (most of the information is contained in the announcement for Coleman's 100th birthday party in 1918).

Since I have no dates for William Allan USHER or his wife, I can only go by his father-in-law's birthdate of 1818 and his daughter's birthdate of 1889 and know he's somewhere in between.

The unidentified man, believed to be a former boyfriend of Burt, was hospitalized in very critical condition.Usher, the New England Patriots' seventh-round draft choice in 1988 out of Illinois, was signed as a free agent by Phoenix in November after being released by the San Diego Chargers. He played in three games for the Cardinals and was released Feb. 1.
