Seeking White family information
Alexander T. White (1830-1870) was the son of James White and Sally Ann Taylor. He married Ellen Jane Adams in Knox County, KY in 1851. They appear in the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Clay County KY. They had 10 children (all born in Manchester), of whom 8 died as babies and 2 survived to marry and have their own children. I am seeking in a Manchester cemetery, possibly the Hugh and Catherine White Cemetery, the graves of the children, and a visiting sister of Ellen's who died there:
Thomas White 1853-1855
James White Jan-Aug 1856 (twin)
Richardson White Jan-June 1856 (twin)
Jane White Jan-Nov 1858
Hugh Adams White 1859-1862
George Madison White Jan-Sept 1862
Nellie White May-Nov 1867
Alexander White July-Oct 1870
Katherine Adams Heddens 1831-1874 (Ellen Adams White's sister)

Researching Sparks, Bolin, Coffman in Clay County
My GGGrandmother Nancy Trent Bolin was widowed in the Civil War. She and her husband, Milem Bolin, had two daughters. After the war, Nancy's mother, Matilda Coffman Trent took one of the daughters, Julia, and removed to Clay Co. where she had kin. Milem's father may also have had kin there. Julia married Anson Sparks in Clay Co. After Anson died, Julia moved to Indiana with one of her sons. I am looking for anyone researching Sparks, Bolin, Coffman in Clay Co. who might help me untangle these families. Julia was the GGGrandmother of Robin Siebel.
