  Classification: Query Surnames: Laslie, leslie, lasley, lesley, Reed, Lyons, Irwin, Turner, Cravens I seen a copy of a page out of a book called Kentucky History where Theophilas was married to Betsy Reed, then married Lydia Lyons and then finally married Rhoda Turner. This info was given to the auther of this book by a Theophilas A. Laslie whom was a professor and lived in Morgantown Kentucky. If this is correct and I am in the process of finding this out, It is looking like the children of Theophilas Laslie are as follows: William, which is looking like the William Canada Green Laslie that I have a lot of records on, then Peter laslie whom married Susan Hannah Turner, then there are Rachael, Nancy whom married Reason Cravens,,Phebe E., Johathan, Susan, Samuel, Sarah P and Theophilas. If this is so, then Betsy must have died before 1834 because this is the marriage date I have been given for Theophilas and Lydia Irwin?? Lyons. and Rhoda was his wife by the 1850 census. Does this sound possible
  I have since uncovered the marriage record of Nancy Laslie and Reason Cravens, in Mercer Co.,Ky. 1849.Nancy died in Nov., 1895, she is buried at Wesley Chapel outside of Fordsville, Ohio Co.,Ky.They are listed in the 1850 Grayson Co.,Ky. census, Theophilas Laslie is also listed in the Grayson Co.,Ky. 1850 census and it does not reflect the list of children you have in your list, he list Carla Lasley has seems more likely. I am driving to Harrodsburg Thursday to view that marriage record, hopefully it will list their parents. I consider any thing not on a gov't document as either an educated guess or here say.Most of LDS info is heresay, I have many errors in their records, and would not have recognised that unless I had done my homework at the courthouse. William Canada Green Laslie age 24, was in the 1850 Grayson Co.,Ky. census, Carla speculates he is a son of Theophilas and Betsy Laslie and my Nancy Laslie, the Nancy that m. A.J Probus may be the daughter of Theophilas and Lydia Lyons, the 2nd wife. Was Lydia's maiden name Irwin?There were about 50 Nancy Laslie's in Ky.,Ind., Ill., and Mo., in that time frame.
