I was especially interested in this part of your reply
"Sarah died at a very old age in Knox Co KY 1916, used the name Sarah Dixon then. John Henry died in Corbin, KY (Knox Co) in 1926. We have pictures of her and John Henry if you would like me to email them to you."
My madin name is Dixon, my family moved to Knox Co. it seems sometime in the 1860s. My great grandfather was Ely Dixon b. 1836 Ashville NC his wife Susan Hall b. 1838. They had three children while living in Virgina; Martha J. b 1857, Mary M. b 1859, and James Monroe (Roe) b 1860 married to Molly in 1892/ d Feb 5,1935 in Knox Co.
By 1863 they were living in Kentucky (Rock Castle Co.) and had six more children,Melinda E., b 1863, Rebeca b 1864 married to Clint (Emmet)Joiner; Eadum b 1864 and died before 1880; Mariah b 1872; Alexander Reese b Jan 25, 1880 married June 25 1921 to Martha and/or Fannie Grace; and my grandfather William Ely b May 28, 1882, married Elsie Tommy Frederick June 17, 1909 after Elsie's death he married Florence Perice, he died July 24, 1949 one month before I was born.
My grandparents, William Ely and Elsie had ten children between 1910 and 1928, all born in Emanuel Knox Co. Kentucky.
If any of this connects with you send me an email.
