Simon William LAKEY1848 ~ 1919 Several records I have found show my great-grandfather on my adoptive father’s side’s name as William Simon LAKEY, but his tombstone and a few others say Simon W (William) LAKEY. Either way, it appears he most likely went by “Simon” to those around him… especially later in life. Simon was born in June 1848 in Ava, Baxter County, Missouri to John Burcham LAKEY…

No matter what I do, it seems that I cannot get beyond the brick wall that is placed just beyond the father and son pair both named Sherman FRARY found in my maternal grandfather’s ancestry. I am not sure if they are true Jr. and Sr. or just shared the first name. The older Sherman was born in 1824 in New York, but the earliest records of any kind that I can find that pertain to him begin with…

First of all, there are certain ethnicities that are not showing up that I believe should. There was also A LOT of talk coming up to this update that a ton of people thought that their Scottish and Irish were WAY off…
