 James Menefee, son of Gerrard Jarrett "Gerrard Menefee" Menefee and Agnes Sutherland.Born Jan 3, 1766 at twin to Nancy see notes, died Apr 18, 1849 at Probably buried Old Whitely Cemetery near father, 83 years a James Menefee was recorded as a Rev War vet from Lincoln Co. KY, with a will recorded there also. He would have been very young to be a veteran, but not impossible toward the latter years. he is the only James I have recorded who was around at that time, and was a brother to Jonas [wounded 7-25-1777] and Jarred, Jarrard, Garrett etc. http://www.logansfort.org/soldiers.html ____________________________ From: Elizabeth Ussery To: glennainglis@msn.com Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 12:05 PM Subject: Menefee's Hi Glenna - haven't talked with you in quite some time but have new information on James Menefee's wife, Nancy. I noticed that you still had Hulch (Hatch) on your information. I have recently answered a query on Genforum - here's the info in case you haven't read it. I am a descendant of James Menefee, son of Gerrard, who are both buried in the Whitley Cemetery, which is in Lincoln Co., Ky. Now, although I cannot prove it, I believe that since Nancy Menefee (daughter of Gerrard and sister to James)married an Elmore she is NOT the Nancy buried in the Whitley cemetery. I believe it was Nancy Menefee who was married to James (Gerrard's son). About a year ago I had been searching for Nancy's (James' wife) last name - it has been listed as Hulch or Hatch on all information I could find. However, there were no records of Hulch or Hatch families in the Lincoln Co. area at the time and I had found where the marriage bond listed William Hu... (this name was read as Hulch or Hatch) was her father and the bond was witnessed by a John Hu... I was contacted by a Hurst researcher who told me that a William Hurst died in Tennessee in 1818 and listed in his will as an heir one James Manifee. This William apparently had a daughter named Nancy and a son named John - Nancy Menefee (James' wife) had already died which would explain James being listed as an heir in William Hurst's will. With this information, I believe strongly that James' wife was Nancy Hurst, daughter of William Hurst, Jr., son of William "Brindle Bill" Hurst and Judith Caffey and that she's the Nancy buried with James in the Whitley cemetery Also, because of some of the above information, I believe that the suggestion that James and Nancy were twins probably came about because of an error on the headstones of James and his wife, Nancy. I've been meaning to e-mail you but haven't done a lot of research lately and just hadn't gotten around to it 'till now. Hope you are doing well. a James Menefee was recorded as a Rev War vet from Lincoln Co. KY, with a will recorded there also.
