I am looking for as much information as I can find on my family.If anyone would be willing to share facts,copies of documents,copies of photos,stories..anything,I would greatly appreciate it.I don't have much,will gladly share anything that you need.

My line:
1. John Moles b. abt 1800 VA
census shows: in Patrick,VA 1830,1840
Fentress,TN 1850
Clinton,KY 1860[in home of Ingrim Norris]
John Moles was married to Sarah [possibly Highsaw].Sarah was born abt 1801.Their children are :Jackson b.abt 1831,Andrew abt 1833,Polly abt 1837 & Washington abt 1840.

2. Jackson Moles born abt 1831 TN
census shows: in Fentress,TN 1850 [w/parents]
Clinton,KY 1860
Wolf Creek,Russell Co,KY 1870
can't find him on the 1880
Jackson Moles was married to Permilia Jane Walker.Permilia has shown up on birth records of her children as Jane Walker.I have one her daughter's death certificate & her name is shown as Amelia Walker.
Jackson & Permilia's children were:
Nancy E 1854, Sarah Ann 1856, William Vann 1857, James 1860 & John born 1851/ died 1855

3.Sarah Ann Moles born May 1856 Clinton Co,KY
lived in Russell Co,KY & died in Shelby Co,Indiana on June 16,1934.She married John Stephens on Feb.4,1874 in Russell Co,KY.
Sarah Moles & John Stephens' children were:
Ulyssus 1874,Lenora 1876, Daitha 1878,Savannah 1883,Elmer 1885, Ethel 1889,Pearly 1891,Elza 1896,Etherd 1895, Edgar 1897,Carrie & Estell .

4. Elmer Stephens was my great grandfather.

I have talked [on-line]with a granddaughter of Permilia Jane Walker [married Moles].She told me that Permilia is buried just outside of a cemetery between Russell Springs & Jamestown,KY.Her grave is only marked by a pile of stones.She told me that Permilia was not permitted to be buried inside the cemetery because she was "a full blooded Indian".

Another thing,I noticed something that I am curious about on the 1860 Clinton,KY census.In the household of Jackson & Permilia J.Moles there is an Elizabeth Walker listed.Elizabeth is 33 yrs old & Permilia is 29 yrs.Could Elizabeth be Permilia's sister?

As I said,I am looking for anything on my family.
