AUGUST 13, 2008 - BALLARD COUNTY CEMETERIES VOL III

I ordered a book from the Ballard County Historical Society titled BALLARD COUNTY KY CEMETERIES Vol. III. This volume has Cane Creek Cemetery which is where the Mayberry Family was buried. I hope it lists several Mayberry family members. Also I sent a letter to the McCracken County Court House for Frederick Mayberry's Will. There was a Will for Frederick Mayberry dated 1833 Mayfield Creek, McCracken Co., KY. I am hoping this will list all of Frederick & Elizabeth's children in the Will.

I thought you might find the picture below interesting. I found this when searching for Cane Creek Cemetery details.

It's great to hear from you. I think this will be our best bet. I've located another grand-grand-grand child of Nancy Owens and sent out another letter. I hoping that there may be an old family Bible from Nancy Shay Owens that may have the info that we need.

I haven't done much research on the Shay/Mayberry side but have found some new information regarding my mother's side being the Wood and Brown lineages. I have an old silver teapot and butter dish that belonged to my great grandmother. I was always told that my great-great grandparents (Alberts) received the set as a wedding present and brought it from Germany. Well I have confirmed that my great-great grandparents did in fact immigrate in 1850 to US and lived in Chenango County, NY. Now, I'm trying to figure out my great-great grandfather (Brown)'s story.
