My neice is married to Jason Lloyd BRINEGAR b. 1976. I'll check to see where his family roots originate./ I have modern day cousins by the name of HENRY who's dad and brothers came from Henry county, but the only one from years back is my Mary Frances HENRY who married Henry Clay Filmore ARNOLD both buried in the Lancaster, KY cemetery./ My ancestor, Shipton STEVENS m. 10 Nov1884 to America SPARKS b. abt 1855, and his son Francis Jackson STEVENS was the county clerk for Estill County for many years. I have other SPARKS listed in my records because my stepmother's mom was Ada Vine SPARKS b. 1903, who's father was James SPARKS
