Does anyone have any information about Allen and Sarah Penix who
lived near the mouth of Tom's Creek in 1850? In 1880, they both
lived in the household of Marcum Castle who was married to their
daughter, Catherine. Allen was blind and it has been said that he
was a broom maker. Also, many people have come to the conclusion
that he was adopted, therefore he had a different birth name than "Penix".
If anyone can give me more information or knows someone who might
please contact me at:

May 9th, 2005 Mr. Marsh, My name is Scott McKenzie and my family roots take me to Johnson County, Kentucky. I have spent the past 18 months working on a family history and I am ready to visit the Paintsville and Flat Gap area. I will be bringing my mother and father with me in mid-May and I wanted to ask if you had any suggestions as to resources that I should take advantage of while visiting to better understand and examine my family connection to Johnson County. I have already spoken to Gail McKenzie Spradlin from the County Library and Riva McKenzie Rose from the Mountain Home Place and plan to meet with them during our visit. I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have.
Thank you and best regards, Scott
McKenzie

I am a grandson of T.C. (Tollie Clayton) Meade 1908 - 1990 & Eva
Meade 1906 - 1993. Tollie was founder and owner of Meade & Co. He
sold furniture & hardware in a few stores throughout Johnson Co.
from 1941 - 1967. Tollie's main store was next door to his
residence at 415 Main Street in downtown Paintsville.
I am interested in obtaining memorabilia & photographs of Meade &
Co. I am also curious to know if the Meade's former house still
exists at 415 Main Street. If so, I am interested in obtaining
current photographs & photographs of present day Main Street. Any
assistance you are willing to provide is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Vincent Tollie Vitali

****************************************** October 26, 2005 I am trying to retrace the route that my family followed every year through 1955 in traveling from Charleston, West Virginia to Hindman, Kentucky. I distinctly remember driving to Huntington and crossing into Kentucky on a truss bridge that had metal gratings for a floor. I distinctly remember the noise that the tires made on the metal grating. I recently visited Huntington and Fort Gay, West Virginia, but was unable to find the bridge. I assume that that bridge is long gone. Do you know where it was located? William C.
