Descendants of James QUISENBERRY (1759-1830)
Source:  George Norbury MacKenzie.  1912.  Colonial Families of the United States of America.  Vol. I.  Grafton Press, Boston/NY (reprinted 1966/95 by Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD; 1998 as Broderbund CD-189).

The QUISENBERRY section is in Volume I and comprises pages 423-430.  It is the genealogy of Anderson Chenault QUISENBERRY (1850- ), going back as far as Europe in the 1300s.  The QUISENBERRY family of America is descended from Thomas QUESTENBURY of England, who settled in Virginia in 1624.

My interest in QUISSENBURY is limited to Kentucky before 1850, so the transcription starts with James QUISENBERRY (1759-1830), who settled in Clark Co., KY.  His line from the immigrant is:
 
Thomas QUESTENBURY (1608-1672) = __?__
—John QUESSENBURY (1627-1717) = Anne POPE
——Humphrey QUESENBURY (c1670-1727) = Elizabeth MOTHERSHEAD
———Thomas QUESENBURY (-1795) = a daughter of Aaron RAWLINS
————Aaron QUISENBERRY (c1720-1795) = Joyce DUDLEY
—————James QUISENBERRY (1759-1830) = Jane BURRIS / Chloe SHIPP

I do not do lookups, so please do not write to ask me for more information from this article.  If you are a QUISENBERRY descendant, it is well worth your while to buy the CD or get a copy of the article through the interlibrary loan service at your local library.
