First, Lana, You have really got my curiosity up and given me a clue to our Redmon/Redmonds/Redmans. I see it spelled at least two different ways in some of the records within the same record. I almost didn't open your posting, but something told me I should. I have just been studying this family myself again for the past couple months, after getting a lead over 20 years ago and just not following up on it. If you will find my message on the "Redmon" forum, that I just posted yesterday, you'll see a little bit of what I found in Nelson County last week. In fact, I think I'd better post it here too. Yesterday after getting home from a picnic reunion of the Ray family in Flaherty, Meade County, I was going over marriage records and County Court Orders from Hardin County, and found "Coonrod", sometimes "Conrad" Walters being mentioned in estate records for Thomas Redmon and his wife, Margaret. Coonrod was acting as guardian for many of Thomas Redmons' "orphan" children. for several years. So it may have been that Conrad Walter's wife, was a sister to Thomas Redmon who died in 1798 in Hardin County, KY. We believe that they may have lived in Hardin County's area that eventually became LaRue County. I'm guessing that also that they are kin to the Nelson County Redmons. I'm trying to find out how. Please look at my postings and other answers from Jan Anderson and Gene Redmond to get more background. My husband's mother's grandmother's mother was an Elizabeth Ellen Redmon who married James Willis Metcalf. Her father was William C. Redmon and her mother was Mariah Magdalene Johnson. They were married in Nelson County, but later were in LaRue County. In several deeds there in Nelson Co. I found that William C. Redmon's father was named William Redmon. William Redmon, Sr. named his four sons-William, Jr., George, Thomas, and John. This was in 1826. I'm "guessing" that this older William may have been another brother to an older Thomas, the one I mentioned above who died in Hardin Co., KY in 1798. From the dates you have posted for your Ann Redmon m. to Conrad or Coonrod Walters, they may hve been grandparents to the Conrad Walters who came to Kentucky. You have posted the year 1684, is this correct? Write on this forum, but also post to my personal address, but I'm hoping we can get others in on this conversation too. Good luck, Ann Sipes atsgene2002@yahoo.com
