Laurel County Researchers:

Just yesterday I got the Laurel County, KY 1850
Census at the Denver Federal Center Archives showing--

M Hugh Forbes Age 43 Farmer $300 Property Value Born in TN
F Fanny (Milburn) Forbes 40 TN Married October 24, 1831 Laurel Cty
Children: (got a copy of marriage register)
M Isaac Forbes 21 KY Witness for Hezekiah Smallwood and Nancy Forbes
F Nancy Forbes 19 KY
M James Forbes 15 KY
M David Forbes 9 KY
F Rebecca Forbes 9/12 KY

Questions: I thought my great grandma--Nancy above--would have been
about 15 not 19 and she married Hezekiah in 1849, so don't know why
they didn't have home together!

My great grandpa Hezekiah Smallwood is shown as 21 born in KY and he
is a Farmer. He is living with the Joseph Pruitt family. What I
think is his family is listed in the Northern District Township of
Laurel Cty:

M H. Smallwood 50 Farmer $500 NC
F Elizabeth Smallwood 42 KY
M Elisha Smallwod 16 KY
M William Smallwood 14 KY
M Riley Smallwood 12 KY
F Elizabeth Smallwood 10 KY
F Mary Smallwood 8 KY
F Sila Smallwood 6 KY
F Zilpha Smallwood 4 KY
M James Smallwood 28 Shoemaker
F Ann Smallwood 20

Families around them:

M Joseph Forbes 43 Farmer $30 TN
F Sally Forbes 35 KY
F Ruth Forbes 11 KY
F E Forbes 9 KY
F Maria Forbes 7 KY
M Thomas Forbes 4 KY

Living with Charles Milburn Family (lots more Milburn people shown)
M William Forbes 24 Farmer KY
F Sarah Forbes 21 KY
F Ann Forbes 6/12 KY

M Thomas Forbes 30 Farmer KY
F Rachel Forbes 23 $250 TN

Questions: I have the marriage register for 1831 Milburn/Forbes and
1849 Forbes/Smallwood from Laurel County. Is there more than just the
one line listings?

Kentucky Land Grants by Jillson lists: Laurel County--
Forbis, Hugh 100 acres Book 3 Page 46 4-29-1837 Sugar Camp Br.
Smallwood, Hezekiah 200 acres Book 25 Pg. 343 9-28-1847 Rockcastle R
Not in county files, how could I find out more about this land?

Let me hear from you and about your Forbes/Smallwood/Milburn research.
Does any of the above information match your people?
