Feature

186 Years Ago: John Lavender

On 28 April 1837, John Lavender married Nancy Tudor in Lincoln County, Kentucky. This was at least a second marriage for him.

John first appears on the Madison County, Kentucky, tax list in 1809 and was there for the 1810 U.S. census. His household in 1810 consisted of four children and an apparent wife. By 1816, John had moved to Lincoln County. His household there in 1820 consisted of six children and an apparent wife. By 1830, two children were still living with John and his apparent wife.

The adult female listed in John’s household in 1810, 1820, and 1830 was the likely mother of his children. Since John married Nancy in 1837, she was not that woman. The mother of John’s children is unknown.
