    • Russell Co., KY Marriages, 1826-1865 - Gaar-Guy
      Grider, Welkerson to Sarah Stapp. May 14, 1844. Married by Wm. H.H.Abshere. 1-28.




      Sarah "Sally" Medaris (6) (Rice 5) b. abt 1789 in NC., d.1869 in Russell, Kent. Married James Grider born 9/5/1783 in Burke, Co. NC. James was the brother to Barbara Grider who married Sarah's brother Charles.
      (James' grandmother, Sarah Morgan, was a first cousin of Daniel Boone's. Sarah Morgan's father was John Morgan. His sister, also named Sarah Morgan, was Daniel's mother.)
      They had the following children:
      Hamilton Grider (7) b. 1805 in Ky. married Sally Bailey on 6/22/1825d. in Vermillion, Ill. They died before 1854 as proved by an Adair Co.KY court order dated 5 June 1854 in which Elzy Bailey was appointed guardian of [seven children] infant heirs of Hamilton Grider, deceased.
      Wesley Grider (7) b. 1809, married Lucy Holt on 10/11/1828
      Betsy Grider (7) b. 1812, married Alfred Grider on 4/11/1829 in Adair, Ky.
      Sallie Grider (7) b. 1813, d. 1875, married David Bryant on 1/14/1834
      Wilkerson Grider (7) b. 1 Jan 1815, d. 1868, married (1) Sally Holt,(2) Sarah Stapp 18 May 1844 Russell Co. KY
      William Grider (7) married Isabell Bailey in Russell Ky. on 7/28/1836.There is question of William's middle name as Preston.
      John F. Grider (7) b. 1823, in Russell Ky. d. 2 May 1852, married ????Pescoe. There is discussion among the Grider descendants as to whether John is truly a son of James and Sarah.
      One researcher states: John F. Grider is not the son of James and Sarah. I have in my possession copies of papers from Henderson Co. TN stating that Silas Grider was appointed guardian of Sarah F. Grider,dau. of John F. Grider of Henderson Co. KY. Kentucky Vital Statistics show that John F. Grider died in 1852 of measles. In his household in 1850 Henderson C. KY census are Pekoe children.
      Another points out: (That researcher) is basing her claim on the fact that guardian bonds at the Henderson county court house show Silas as guardian to Sarah Ann Grider, minor child of John F. Grider. However,the bonds do not state that John F. was a son of Silas. I would guess that John giving guardianship of his daughter to Silas could indicate that he was John' s father, but it is not definite proof. I'm not saying (the other) is wrong; I just think more proof is needed. However, knowing (this researchers) background, I know she is very good at this stuff, and I wouldn't necessarily want to bet against her theory. I guess each individual will have to decide for his or her self.
      As my main concern is this site, I will leave the Grider debate up to the Grider descendants . Hopefully we will be updated if this issue is resolved.
      Rachel Grider (7) b. 4 Jan 1824, d. 30 Dec 1914. married Michael GreenMcKinley on 2/25/1845 .
      Anna Grider (7) b. 1826, d. 1910, married John Pearce on 2/7/1853.
      Lucinda Grider (7) b. 1828, d. 1864, married Charles McKinley
