I am doing my genealogy, and my grandma had a bible with the name Nancy Caroline Poplar as my grandfather's grandmother [my gggrandmother}. Through many hours of research, I realized her name could not have been Poplar, because there are just not any. My family was in Russell Co., KY for generations.

Anyway, I finally found in the 1850 Russell Co. census, a NANCY C. POPLARWELL, same birth year as my Nancy, [1841]. She is 8 y.o. in this census as obtained from Kyroots.com:

31 230 230 Poplarwell Albert 38 M farmer Ky X
32 230 230 Poplarwell Prudence 38 F Ky
33 230 230 Poplarwell Samantha J. 15 F Ky X
34 230 230 Poplarwell Leo H. 11 M Ky X
35 230 230 Poplarwell Nancy C. 8 F Ky X
36 230 230 Poplarwell William C. 5 M Ky
37 230 230 Poplarwell David C. 3 M Ky
38 230 230 Poplarwell Margaret E. 2/12 F Ky

In the 1860 Census, she is married to my gggrandfather, W.G. Hill, and the Poplarwells are now in the Census as Popplewells.

Through corresponding with other Popplewell ancestors, I learned that many have gone by Poplar.

I would love more info, and feel free to e-mail me if you want more info, as well.

THANK YOU!!
