I don't think it's going to help much, but it is interesting. https://books.google.com/books?id=FcRCAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA16&lpg=PA16&dq=%22john+wiley%22+%22bracken+county,+kentucky%22&source=bl&ots=pklHHN5Beb&sig=ACfU3U117_XTpVcMYcM9lFC4z6x_b-vTGQ&hl=en&ppis=_e&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjP4teIguTnAhVBIqwKHc6pBOIQ6AEwBHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22john%20wiley%22%20%22bracken%20county%2C%20kentucky%22&f=falsekdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-21242592540681814932020-02-21T17:31:45.356-08:002020-02-21T17:31:45.356-08:00This is very interesting.

Also, when the Rineharts migrated, they may have traveled with grown siblings rather than parents. Ann may have had married sisters near her. This is such a tough time period to search. Watch for any deeds of gift to Simon that could have been from a father-in-law. <br /><br />What I've noticed is that earlier researchers tended to do a mash-up of women in that time period because they could not sort them out. In my line, they determined that Charles Kavanaugh's wife was Ann Coleman even though no one could connect an Ann Coleman to him. It turned out that his wife was Ann Covington, a daughter of Ann (Coleman) Covington. That's also why researchers took Philemon Cavanaugh Sr's wife Sarah and Philemon Cavanaugh Jr's wife Ann and mashed them up into Sarah Ann. It was too difficult for them to sort out the Philemons, and there weren't so many records for them to work with. Don't be discouraged; you may be able to find what earlier researchers could not.<br /><br />If you come across an Ann Wiley or an Ann Wise who is a generation too early, don't count her out. One could be the daughter of the other.kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.com
