Various KY Holsapples
Can anyone shed some light on these Holsapples? The infocame from the 1880 US censuse.
1. Merdena Holsapple (age 71 in 1880), b. in KY, father b. in NC and mother in SC. She was living in Eddyville, Lyon Co., KY in 1880. Enumerated with her were a daughter Sarah Holsapple, age 39, and a son, Gideon, age 30.Their father, presumably Merdena's husband, was born in Virginia.
2. George and John Holtsapple, both born in KY in 1854 and 1856 respectively. Their father was born in Indiana and their mother in Kentucky. They were farm laborers living with the family of William Lytle in Fairview, Bracken Co., KY.
3. A.B. Holsapple, age 24 in 1880, the son-in-law of Emmerson Williams. A.B. Holsapple was married to Mollie Williams, daughter of Emmerson. A.B.'s father was born in Tennessee and his mother in KY. He is often confused with my great-grandfather Ambrose Bramlette Holsapple, b. May 7, 1849 in Albany, Clinton Co., KY and married to Louise Anne Gaskin of Georgia. Some have asserted that Ambrose was married twice, based on this "A.B." alone. But no evidence is given, and the dates are all wrong. Additionally Ambrose's surviving grandchildren have never heard of an earlier marriage. The census site was Burkesville, Carver and Whetstone, Cumberland Co., KY.
Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
