 Ms. Harris,
 
 First of all, I work for Cut Through Hydrocarbon, a small company that  drills oil and gas wells here in eastern Kentucky.  We have operations in  Knott, Floyd, Pike, Perry, Johnson & Magoffin Counties.  We operate  approximately 75 wells.  As for who and how the W. J. Amburgey heirs came  about this property.  In 1934 W. J. Amburgey bought a tract of
 approximately 60 acres on Ashlog Hollow of Owen Branch, just north of  Hindman, Kentucky.  In 1945, he and his wife (Ida May) sold the surface  only to Thomas Hays.  They retained the oil and gas rights under this  property.  From sources on rootsweb.com, I have found a list of his
children, namely:
Dulcie Amburgey  (see last)
Lester Amburgey (1899-1967) m Beatrice Haywood, had Douglas 1922, Eugene
1923, & infant 1927; m Ruth Beverly 1931, had Charlnez 1936
Lottie Amburgey (1910-  ) m Estill Martin, had 5 children
Vinta Amburgey (1913-   ) m Sidney Adams 1940, 3 children
Delta Amburgey (1903-1944) unm
Gorman Amburgey (1903-1949)
Gertie Amburgey (1903) unm
Norris Amburgey (1907-1982) no wife
Ola Amburgey
Lola Amburgey (1919-1919)
Maynard Amburgey (1915-1970) m Frances Lee;  had Donald J (1937) |
Janet Thorpe,  Larry L (1936) m Shelby J Hays & had Sammy Lee 1959, Valerie J.
1961, Angie  1963
Sheila E (1942, m Orville Weeker, had 2 sons
Sharon A (1944) m#1 William Payne, m#2 Gary Pace, m#3 Tom Vivian;
had 1  child by each husband
Barbara (1946-1946)
Vernon (1926)
Dulcie (1927-1976) m#1 Charles Wilson, m#2 Fred Caudill
 
   
Now, W. J. had a will when he died and he left a Lottie Martin as  executor and Gerta & Norris were to receive the royalty from the oil &  gas that was at that time under lease to another gas company.  This other  company did not drill on the property in question, so that lease is now
 invalid.  Also, since W. J. did not make a dispostion of the oil and gas  property in his will, it fell to his children.  (Now if Ida May died  after W. J., her children, if any others than those listed above, may own  an interest also in this oil and gas property).  The present ownership of
 this property should be the children of W. J. or their children since I'm  sure some if not all of those listed above are deceased.  Actual  ownership interest will depend on whether his children had wills or died  without issue. 
 
In order to make this easier for me to unravel, I would like to have a  list that shows a contact person & phone number for each child of W. J..  That way I could hopefully keep everyone straight.  Any more questions,  just drop me an email.
 
 Thanks
 Steve
