At one time, a Michael Rouse generated a list of children christened at Hopeful Lutheran Church in Boone County, Kentucky (see Beyond Germanna , v.5, n.1). With the usual "buyer beware" warning, I am giving the parents who had children before 1826. The theory behind this date is that the parents were immigrants to Boone Co. and were not born in Kentucky. (Earlier we saw that a first group signed a constitution in 1806.) The parents, and the dates, and the first child are:
Benjamin and Anna Aylor, Staunton, b. 10 Feb 1815
Joshua (and wife) Beemon, Abraham, bapt. 23 Jul 1814
John and Peggy Beemon, Alpha, b. 28 July 1807
Rev. William and Mary (Aylor) Carpenter, William Henry, b. 30 Jul 1815
Jeremiah and Julian (?) Carpenter, William Eli, b. 9 Feb 1819
Augustus and Francis Carpenter, Malinda, b. 12 Mar 1824
Lewis and Jemima Crigler, Lucinda, b. 10 Oct 1818
John and Magdalena Floyd, Michael, b. 2 Mar 1817
Samuel and Susannah I (Holtzclaw) Floyd, Jacob, b. 13 Dec 1821
John and Frances Holsclaw, Sarah Ann, b. 18 May 1824
John and Milly House, Anna, b. 17 Mar 1815
Abraham and Julianna Rouse, William Caleb, b. 13 Sep 1822
Julius and Polly Rouse, Elizabeth, b. 25 Oct 1822
Lovel and Eliza Rouse, Franky, b. 3 Oct 1824
John and Nancy Rouse, William, b. 18 Aug 1814
George and Elizabeth Rouse, Sarah, b. 30 Jan 1814
Joel and Tabitha Rouse, Elizabeth, b. 17 Dec 1815
William and Rosina Rouse, Jemima, b. 27 Mar 1817
Elisha and Juliana Rouse, Valentine, b. 6 Aug 1817
Jeremiah and Nancy Rouse, Lucinda, b. 10 Dec 1820
Ephraim and Susanna Tanner, Joshua, b. 11 Jun 1815
Simeon and Elizabeth Tanner, Julianna, b. 31 Aug 1815
Moses and Elizabeth Tanner, Sarah Ann, b. 19 Apr 1816
Benjamin and Anna Tanner, Julia, b. 30 Dec 1826
Frederick and Rosina Zimmerman, Nancy, b. 27 Jul 1817
These names are presented as possible immigrants to Boone Co. from Madison Co., VA. On analysis, some of them have been given before. Some of them went with their parents as children and perhaps do not merit separate listings. Interestingly, some of the people we have already listed as early immigrants to Boone Co. do not show on this list.
