My maternal 5th-great grandaunt, Catherine HECK, married John BYARS on this date in 1801 in Bracken County, Kentucky. Catherine was the daughter of Daniel and Catherine (________) HECK, and the older sister to my Godfrey HECK. Catherine was born circa 1779 in Maryland. I have not located much on this family, but do know that they had at least 2 children.

My paternal 2nd-great grandaunt, Phebe Jane LEMASTERS, married William R. WILSON on this date in 1873 in Jay County, Indiana. Phebe Jane was the daughter of Luman Walker and Nancy (YOUNG) LEMASTERS, and the younger sister to my Luman Walker LEMASTERS Jr. Phebe Jane was born April 16, 1847 in Shelby County, Ohio. William was born circa 1847. I have not followed their family after their marriage in Jay County, Indiana.

Nancy Byars Power (1802-1876)

Received an email from another researcher who found my WorldConnect database and sent me an addition for my records. So many times I have been given additional information and corrections to data through postings online.

David Alsup sent me information on the death date and place of Nancy (Byars) Power, my first cousin 6 times removed. She was the daughter of John and Catherine (Heck) Byars, and died August 14, 1876 in Bracken County, Kentucky. Many of the Heck family were in this area.

This is a family that I didn't have much information on, nor would I have time to dig into, but it is nice that someone took the time to add to and make corrections to my data.
