Looking for information/photos of the Everage family. Dad is Sam Henry (Everidge) Everage s/o Benjamin (Everidge) Everage. Benjamin\'s brothers are Price, Tom, etc... Dad\'s and Ben\'s certificates do say EVERIDGE but their was a typo or someone did not know how to spell well apparently. They both spelled it EVERAGE regardless of the spelling on the certificate. We\'d like to know all the brothers and sisters, the great grand parents, etc... Dad does not remember much at all, and has very few pictures of his family. This is for a family tree we are working on and would also make a wonderful Christmas gift for him. Sam\'s mother was Chloe Singleton if this helps.
Thank you all so much for any help you can give.

Would love any information you may have about the building (now a house) that sits across the street from the old Sutton Store and Vest Post Office in Vest, KY.  This building initially served as a school and then became a craft center.  Curious to know the history, dates, and other details that surround this building.  Also, want to know if this building is already registered as a historical site.

Looking for any information in regard to the parents or any possible siblings of a Thomas L. Hurt born in Smithsboro, Knott County, Kentucky 16 August 1895.  He listed his mother as a Seal-Ceal-Celia Hurt and his father as a John Mullins.  His parents may or may not have been married.  His mother possibly died when Thomas was just a small boy and his father may have abandoned him and any siblings.  Nothing is know for sure.  Any information or suggestions at all would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I have been searching for information on my gggrandfather William R. Craft; I recently received information that he was the son of Nancy Holbrook(s) and Nelson Roe Craft, born December 19, 1853, in Letcher County. They apparently were never married. I found a Letcher Co. birth record with the father\'s name not listed. Subsequently I found a Floyd County census record listing Nancy, her husband Winston Gipson and son William. My gggrandfather married Jane Wallen and named two of his sons Nelson Roe and Winston, so it appears to be accurate information.  I have found numerous Knott Co. records of my grandfather William, my ggrandfather Winston (married Suzy Slone), Winston\'s brother Roe (Nelson Roe) and others; but very little on William.  Does anyone have information regarding Nancy & Nelson or William? Or any part of this Craft family?
