Venablesm George

Hopkinsville

p. 188

Note that not only is VENABLE misspelled, but that there is no comma after the surname, which means both names are in one field in the database, which means they don't come up on a "normal" search (see next source).  These same errors are also found in the index online at Ancestry.com.

3b.  1840 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #5 and #7 of 9 — Image #6 is a repeated fragment of Image #5; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen).  Because of the errors mentioned in the previous source, you can only pull up this record by doing a search on "venablesm george" in the surname field (the given name field is blank, with both names in the surname field).  I have notified Ancestry.com (25 Jul 2002) of the index error and the useless page fragment.  I wouldn't hold my breath that they will fix it.

The number 11 should be the total number of individuals in the household, but I count only ten.  These data indicate:

No. & Sex	Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 white male	20-29	1810-1820	= ?
1 white male	40-49	1790-1800	= George (b. 1792)
3 white females	10-14	1825-1830	= Lucy (b. 1828/9) = Daughter C = Daughter B
2 white females	15-19	1820-1825	= Daughter A = Caroline (b. 1824)
1 white female	30-39	1800-1810	= Mary (b. 1802/3)
1 male slave	9 or under	1830-1840	= ?
1 female slave	24-35	1804-1816	= ?
2	persons employed in learned professions and engineering

The male in his 20's can only be George's son if George had a prior marriage, which he was old enough to have had, though it is probably more likely that George had a male assistant, perhaps a young doctor.  The only other VENABLE in the county is Abraham VENABLE.

9.  Email from "INNOE" at aol.com (18 Oct 2001):

Your Margaret Worthington is connected to the Maryland Worthingtons.  One of her sons is buried in the Episcopal Church in Worthington Valley, MD.  While in Kentucky, she married Frederick Augustus Juny, an Episcopal cleric originally from Alsace.  They had four sons, only one of those, F.A. Juny, Jr., had a descendant -- a daughter Margaret.  They lived in Tennessee.  That Margaret's death is in the SSN records.  I have other information, but it is boxed and unaccessible for a while.  I think (but am not sure) that George Venable's wife was also a Worthington.  Margaret died in the 1860's, and  Frederick remarried.  That's all I remember without looking up written information.
