• Guardianship: 12 Jun 1837, Grant County, Kentucky; Samuel Barnes appointed guardian to Elizabeth Barnes, infant heir of OLIVER BARNES, deceased, who thereupon executed and acknowledged bond in open court in the penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security and took the oath as the law directs.

Notes:

Guardianship:
Samuel Barnes appointed guardian to Elizabeth
Barnes infant heir of Oliver Barnes decd. who
thereupon executed & acknowledged bond in open court in the
penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security &
took the oath as the law directs.

The above was transcribed by David James Schimka, 23 March 2012 from a microfilm copy of the originals. I took the liberty of correcting a few misspellings but left the rest, word for word, line for line. I have attached a copy of the original document image. Above all else, this document connects the descendants of Elizabeth Barnes to her ancestors. Later, 08 March 1847, a marriage bond is made in Grant County, Kentucky and a marriage license was issued that day upon the sworn oath by the groom that he was of lawful age "and the consent of the Guardian of the within Lady [was] personally given".

Perhaps there are additional documents where her parents died in Illinois but I have not seen any yet.

Ollie first appears on the 1870 Census of Scott County, KY as a threemonth old baby. On the 1880 Census in the same locality, Ollie's relation to the head of household is "bastard." It is uncertain as yet whether this is a child of Napoleon's, one of his children, or even a foster child.

Notes:

Emmett Thompson was the census enumerator in his community in 1900. His signature on each page appears to have a trailing "e" to his first name and his cemetery marker also has an "e" so it would appear that his correct name, or the spelling he used, was Emmette.

Name:
In 1880 he was listed on the census as William. In 1900 he was going by Emmett or Emmette and his cemetery marker gives his name as Emmette J Thompson.

There is a Social Security number that was issued to Cora M Bates whodied in Daviess County, Kentucky on 12 October 1959 at the age of 83. Subtract the age from the death date and you get 1876. Could this be the correct date of death for Cora Thompson-Bates? At some time in the 1950s or so, Cora lived in Tampa, FL and was visted by her nephew, Howard Francis Boyle and his children.

Cora George William Bates about 1897Almost certainly in Kentucky. George (son of Charles Bates and Sadie Zeysing) 7 Aug 1876 Kentucky; 31 Oct 1931Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio; 3 Nov 1931Highland Cemetery, Fort Mitchell, Kenton County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

My grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, once told me this story:
Maude had a large dark birthmark on her elbow. Maude's mother, Kate Skinner, was pregnant when she saw a drunken black women at a saloon. Kate, would tell Maude that she got the birthmark from the drunk woman.

Miscellaneous:
During another of her husband's absences, Maude wrote to the government pension board explaining that John had left her at home with their five children as he had done on many previous occasions and taken all the money with him. By this time Maude seemed to be quite desperate to provide a means of support for her children and was contemplating divorce. She asked the government about obtaining a portion of John's pension and whether she would still be entitled if they were no longer married.

Notes:

Below are some brief stories my grandfather told me of growing up around Hinton, Kentucky.

When Howard was growing up, there were no theaters in the area, no radiosand the television had not yet been invented. For entertainment, people would walk to the homes of friends and relatives to play Rook, Checkers, and Dominoes. On Saturdays everyone would go to Hinton, KY to socialize. Some of the boys would connect one end of a wire to the coils of the Ford Automobiles and the other end to any metal part on another car. When someone got into the second car, they would get a shock. His Parents bought thier first car in 1929, a 1925 Model T Ford. They also bought a radio around the same time, an Atwater Kent, in Williamstown, Kentucky. Howard remembers listening to Jack Dempsy fights over the radio. After World War II, some saloons bought TV's and people would come in and watch while they had a drink. Howard graduated from Renaker High School which was located outside of Cynthiana, KY. His High School Prom was held in the Masonic Lodge in Corinth, KY.

Howard and Della where married and divorced twice. The first marriage took place in 1936 and the second in 1949. Some time after the 1949 divorce, Howard and Della's four daughters, who were being cared for in a private home by a third party, were turned over and became Wards of the Court. The private home was in Park Hills which is in Kenton County, Kentucky. The girls were then sent to an orphanage called The Covington Protestant Children's Home for six years. The orphanage was founded in 1882 and still exists today under the name, Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. Howard married Ruby Jean Barkeloo in 1953 and eventually they were able to gain custody of the girls at which time they were adopted by Jean, as everyone called her.
