301 In the 1920 Census Enumeration there is a daughter named Eva Cecil living with her father, Benjamin Wells. Tracing back Eva it would appear that she is the "Nancy E" Wells who is aged 1 year on the 1880 Census Enumeration. Eva Wells was married to Edgar Cecil, son of George and Margaret Cecil, in 1900. Wells, Nancy Evaline (I3528)
 
302 In the Last Will and Testament of John Barnes, he divides his estate between his wife, children and "a daughter of his wife." The surname, Hawkins, may be a name from a previous marriage for Agnes and one of the daughters here listed with the family of John and Agnes may be from this previous marriage. Hawkins, Agnes Unsubstantiated Surname (See Notes) (I3066)

308 Information being given to Congress, that there has been lately discovered, in the Colony of Virginia, a mineral containing a large quantity of Salt petre,

Ordered, That the delegates of Virginia send an Express to enquire into the truth of the fact, and to bring a sample of the mineral. 
Clement, Captain Benjamin (I3691)
 
309 Instead of William's name being followed by Major, as in previous years, there appears to be what I think may be the letters L M; perhaps Lieutenant Major?

Immediately following William's name in the list is that of "Robinson Benj @ LM" . . . this is almost assuredly William's son, Benjamin Robinson who, it would appear, resided on his father's land. Benjamin was recorded in this year with more taxable personal property than his father.

314 It has been postulated that John Combs may have been married first to a woman named Ann and that the first child shown here below John Combs and Hannah, Elizabeth Combs, may have been from this possible earlier marriage or, that Hannah and Ann were one and the same. Family F1334
 
315 It has been stated by family tradition that Aaron Horn died as a result of a personal injury sustained while cutting cane* and died, as stated in various records, the last day of September or the first day of October, 1778. There is no known record indicating that Aaron's death was associated with the September 1778 Siege of Boonesborough; likewise, none to refute such evidence either but if Aaron died due to a wound sustained in battle, such a reference would likely have been made in the military correspondence between Boonesborough and the Virgina Assembly.

*Cane - Undoubtedly the plant described by science as, Arundinaria gigantea, which formes dense growths up to thirty feet tall, called canebrakes, in fertile soil along the rivers of Kentucky. This species of cane is a type of bamboo native to the United States. 
Horn, Aaron (I152)
 
316 It is possible, based upon immigration ship manifest records that Maria's maiden name may be Pytlik and was a brother of Franz Pytlik. Another possibility could be that Johann Frana had another sister (besides Anna Frana-Schimka) who was married to Franz Pytlik. Maria (I162)
 
317 It would appear that, possibly, Margaret was married several times.

First to John B Hensley
Second to someone by the name of BOWMAN
Third to someone with the name WITNEY or WHITNEY


This is based upon children of John B Hensley & Margaret Back-Hensley as listed in the book, "A Back Family History" by Custer Back, Kenneth Back, Troy Back & Dexter Dixon. Further analysis by observing Census records. In the Jackson area of Breathitt County, 1900 is (spelled as shown on Ancestry.com's Index):

Margarett Witney 36
John W Hensley 13
Demey Hensley 11
Cora Bowman 7
Lonzo Bowman 1
The Bowman children are listed as Daughter and Son of Margaret.

The house immediately preceding this one, is that of Solomon Back and Harrison Back which, if I am correct in my observations, are the father and the brother of Margaret.

319 Jackson Horn as a child of William Horn and Susannah Hall is unsubstantiated. In addition, I have found no evidence yet for a marriage of William Horn and Susannah Hall. However, William's brother, Aaron Horn, was married to a woman named Susannah as evidenced in their Revolutionary War pension files. (See Aaron Horn person ID: I3172). Horn, Jackson (I654)
 
320 James Craft was NOT born in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Wilkes County did not come into existence until 1777. Craft, James (I957)
 
321 James Schimka Sr had Bronchoneumonia for three days. He died at 1:30 AM at the Elgin State Hospital at 750 So. State St., Elgin, Illinois.

Seized by United States Lines, in 1917 and renamed USS George Washington. Also Bremerhaven-New York service. Assigned to United States Lines; began Bremerhaven-NY sailings 1921.

Schimka, James Sr (I113)
 
322 John Combs is recognized as a patriot for his "Oath of allegience upon land entry 1778-1781." Combs, John Sr. (I3280)
 
323 John Combs Jr., not to be confused with his father, John Combs Sr., who, most likely, did not serve as a soldier in the American Revolution but is recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution as a patriot for his Oath of Allegiance. Combs, John Jr. (I3282)
 
324 John definitely spent time in the Soldiers Home in Ohio but he may have spent time in as many as three other Soldiers Homes between the years 1900-1917. I have found records of admission for John in four separate homes but many of the dates overlap exactly and the documents do not differentiate the home for which the admission and discharge dates apply. Without additional information, the exact home he was at during the recorded dates cannot be known with certainty. All of the documents will be attached on this first entry for his admissions to the Soldiers Homes. Boyle, John Francis (I1813)
 
325 John Francis Boyle was a secretary and treasurer for the Junior Lodge and Maude was a secretary and treasurer for the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was at one of these meetings that John and Maude met (Howard Francis Boyle).
DJS - I have not been able to prove either of these services. I did check with the nearest chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and they were unable to find Maude listed as a DAR member. She could have performed a clerical job and not been a member.
30 July 2011: I have still never proven the services mentioned above however, further research uncovered that Maude was a direct descendant of at least two Revolutionary War soldiers who are recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Their names and DAR Ancestor numbers are:
Francis Robinson: DAR# A097441
John Barnes: DAR# A006344
5 May 2012: Earlier in the year, 2012, I was inducted into the Sons of the American Revolution based upon the service of John Barnes (DJS).

326 John Robinson died at the home of the Honorable William Nelson who would later serve as Governor of the Virginia Colony in 1770 and 1771. William Nelson was a staunch supporter of the colonial cause leading up to the American Revolution and his son, Major General Thomas Nelson, Jr., was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Robinson, John (I2798)

329 John stated his date of birth in 1825 while making application for pension in return for his service as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Combs, John Jr. (I3282)
 
330 John W Back may have served with the 5th Kentucky Mounted Infantry. However, since no verifiable family relationship, birth date or place exists in the service record of John W back (one does exist), this service cannot be corroborated without another piece of information indicating his service. Back, John W. (I1740)

342 Lula M. Jones was married first to Willie Switzer on January 28, 1909 and they were divorced in Cynthiana, Harrison County, Kentucky on June 27, 1930. Lula married John Francis Boyle on February 7, 1935; she was 43 years old and John was 73 years of age. My grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, told me that he and his siblings were not happy about the marriage and it was believed that Lula married John for his pension. There were problems almost immediately that seemed to be, in part, caused by one of Lula's sons by her first marriage. However, John had a history of leaving home at his whim and he would travel all over the East Coast of the United States. I would not be surprised if he had visted every state in the East and he was most definitely in most of them, as records show. In some cases, he traveled because the pension board ordered him to get an examination but on many other occassions he seemed to leave of his own accord. John spent many years, over multiple instances, at the Central Branch National Soldiers' Home near Dayton, Ohio in the late 1890s through about 1917.
Soon after the marriage, Lula began to suffer from what was described as the final stages of Tuberculosis. She and John were already having problems and about the time that Lula's illness became severe, John left. Lula sought, and was successful in obtaining a portion of John's monthly pension, which amounted to about $18. John bitterly contested this action and both sides supplied many affidavits to support the character of each and the reasons for separation. Lula's son was mentioned as a major contributor and John was blamed for leaving Lula on her death bed. Lula even supplied a love letter to the pension board, purportedly written by John before their marriage in which John declares his love for Lula and stating something along the lines that he only remains in Hinton because of her. The letter was signed "Johnny" which makes me a little suspect since there are so many documents with his name and signature and he always signed John F Boyle. Of course, the letter has to be taken in context.
John spent the last years of his life in the care of his daughters, Katherine Boyle-Ingram and Eula Boyle-Cooke. John Francis Boyle, Maude Belle Thompson (2nd Wife) and Lula M. Jones (3rd Wife) are all buried at Raven Creek Cemetery in Harrison County, Kentucky.
