I was hopeing to send this to Wayne but lost his address-I have a real tough brick wall for years,and can't crack it.Hope some one out there has a suggestion. Not from Ill.that I know of. Reuben Free marr Mary Ann Cooper 2 Feb 1859.This man has to be hatched by a bird.I searched 1850 census,only one in Pa and he was to old.Also no kids listed in census.There are a couple of other Free's in the county,but he seems to not be from that line.Talking to people from that line,they say he is possibly Indian. His marr lisence tells me nothing,his tomb stone tells me only his name,no dates.No funeral home records,and nothing in the cemetery records. Can any one give me a idea where else or what to do?This is my g-grandfather.Thanks for any help-Keshagirl |

Keeshagirl, You didn't give much to go on, mention a county but didn't name it; mentioned children but didn't name them. The surname Free came up Fry at Familysearch.

1850 Bracken Cooper Samuel Cooper age 14 living with John Harvey Elias Cooper age 44, no Mary Samuel Cooper age 40, no Mary Elizabeth Cooper age 21, living with Nicholas Youngeman McCagey Cooper age 50 living with John Teajans? Samuel Cooper age 16 living with Samuel Bowen Thomas Cooper age 52, wife's name is Mary...chidren ages 4, 6, 9, 16, 13, 23, 22, no children named Mary, but room for other children to be in this family Sally A Cooper age 20 living with a George Lebourfield? Elizabeth Cooper age 24 living with Michael Harmon Cagy Cooper age 45, with a 12 or 19 year old Mary [I lean towards 19 because of the birth order] William Cooper age 25 with a 6 year old Mary [makes her 15 in 1859] There is also an 8 year old. The "mother" in the family is Kesiah Cooper, age 23. If they are the parents of these children, they started mighty young. Possibly took in sibs at the passing of the parents...but... right next door, William B. Cooper age 48, with chidren from age 1 to 19...weird birth order William B Cooper 48 Rebecca 15 [his wife?] John 19 Mason 17 Daniel 15 Francis 12 Samuel 7 Auducro [male] 1 |

How did this get in the Suggestion Box instead of on the General or Brick Walls board? The Suggestion Box was designed for members to offer input and ideas for the improvement of the IKK. The General and Brick Walls boards are for research questions and information. Another board may be on the chopping block!  |

Bless you, Melody. I had all but given up on the Free's. This was my
grandfather.I wouldn't hestitate they started the 1st privacy law on info on
Free, at least of my family.Can any one find out any thing on Reuben Free
and Mary Ann Cooper? They are buried at Bladeston next to Grandpa, with only
a name on the tombstone.The cemetery office dosen't even have any records.I
have a marriage lisence for them, with very little info on it, any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I found a Reuben Fry in Clermont County, Ohio in the 1850 census. He was 12 years old, and was born in Kentucky. He was living with Arthur and Amanda Blade, both of whom were born in Kentucky. Happily, in the 1840 Census there was an Andrew Free in Bracken Co. who is probably a relative. Unfortunately, it is difficult figuring out who might be who, and what their place is in the family. Males 15-20....2 Males 20-30....2 Females 20-30...1 Females 50-60....1 |

Yes, that is the biggest problem. I believe there were 2 Andrew Free's and I
narowed Reubens birth down to Peter, but again no proof. I don't think tho
he ever left Bracken co.Will try and email you later about Bladeston
cemetery. Kehagirl

Sorry to of confused you on the Bladeston cem where Thomas Free is
buried.(Grandpa)Bladeston cem is a local nick name, I was curious about
where the name came from and research for about 2 yrs.Blades never lived in
the area, on the other end of the county, yes.The real name of the cem is
from the church there Concord Meth. Ch. The land was given by the Golden
fam. for taking care of and includeing their family cem in it also.Stones
from there are all gone, tho I have a very old pic showing stones. The names
Amanda and Andrew Blades are worth looking into, don't think I have ever
heard them before. Thank you for stirring the brain cells.Also thanks for
the death certificate on grandpa. I never knew he lived at Germantown, going
to look in it further, I am about 3 doors down from Pepper funeral home.The
Bracken co end of Germantown is not very big, wouldn't it be funny if he had
lived in my house years ago???? The other end of Germantown is in Mason co.
