Seeking info on Hale's of Pery County and Magoffin County. My gg grandfather (John Hale) was born 1808-1820 possibly in one of these Virginia counties: Grayson, Washington, or Wyhte. He is shown in the 850 census for Perry County, KY with his wife Sally (Sarah Fawbush) and the 1860 census for Magoffin County, Would like any info especially any that shows his and Sarah's whereabouts before 1850.

Garretts and Mortons settled in Montgomery and Powell County following the Revolutionary War. One of my 2nd great grandfathers was WESLEY GARRETT (1828-1930), a very long-lived shoemaker. Another family of interest, and directly related were the Hon or Horn family, originally from Pennsylvania. These people were "German Dunkers" originally, and were against fighting in the Revolutionary War. They moved to where they thought they would be out of harm's way, and instead, my third great grandfather, Joseph Hon, Jr. and his mother and sister were kidnapped by Indians and British at Ft. Ruddles, KY (near what is Lexington today). Joseph Hon, Sr. became so unnerved at this development that he enlisted in a Virginia military unit to fight. His family was eventually returned to him following the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

They were married in Woodford County, Kentucky.
Their eldest son was Thomas Wesley Harris, b 1827 in Woodford County, Kentucky.
