Hi:
Edmond Day was the son of BatyBeatyBeatty and Sarah Louisa Howard Day (Beaty’s second wife was also a Sarah). Beaty was the son of William Elias (Aley) Ledford and Nancy Day. Beaty used the name Ledford until adulthood and then began using his mother’s name.
Edmond was Known as “Babe”. There were two Babe Day’s in Harlan County. One was the son of Lloyd Day who was a brother to Beaty. The second was our Edmon. It is my understanding that he was known as “Black Babe” because of his dark complexion.
Edmon was a half brother to my grandfather, William Vinson Day.
Sandy
Sandy,
Thanks for your help.
I HAD been wondering where you were…. ‘needed the help.
🙂
Do you have any additional information that would help Sheree or something I can try to help you with?
Bill
Hi Bill:
If you can find Nancy Day I would be so happy!
I don’t believe that Nancy Day was a “white” woman. She can be found in the 1840 Harlan County, Ky. census…she was on the Harlan County tax list in 1847-1848, then she was gone. I recently found a pension application that Hetty (also known as Salina and Sally Ann Day) Garrett filed that states she was married in the home of Nancy Day……that is it other then two death certificates that list Nancy Day as the mother. Oh, I failed to mention that she left behind 5 children…actually she left 7. I have not been able to identify the oldest son.
My best guess is that Nancy showed up in Harlan County about 1835-1837.
Throughout the family there is a strong oral tradition of being Native American. My grandfather always said that he was 14 Native. I have traced all lines of the family. If my grandfather was accurate, his native ancestor had to be Nancy Day.
Okay, Nancy showed up at the time of the removal. All of her children, regardless of who their father might have been, took her name when the reached adulthood. Nancy lived in a very remote area………………one family story says that the Days were trying to pass for white………………………and the last thing……….the Snowbird Census contains several Nancy Days.
When I look at the names of the people who lived in that remote area of Harlan County I go bananas!!!!!!!! Almost all are names that can be traced throughout Native American history….except one….Skidmore. Well, if you dig a little deeper one finds that Old John Skidmore’s mother was a Blakemore……………..didn’t her father bring “friendly Indians” with him to Va. when he established the fort?
Oh, one last thing. One story is that Nancy left her children behind and rejoined her people.
After nearly 20 years of research that is all that I know about Nancy Day. Any hint, any direction, will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandy
Sandy can you send me any information that you have?
My email address is sheree606@alltel.net
Sherry
Sandy, if you are wandering on the net and read this please emaill me.
Elizabeth Louisa Garrett m. Baity Day, was supposedly the daughter of Salina Hetty Day and Daniel Garrett. Now, how was Salina Day related to our Days exactly?
This family is about to drive me totally nuts but I have to ask the question, if she was related to the Days then Edmund or Baity married their niece?
Sherry
BeattyBeatyBaty Day 1st married (Sarah) Louisa Howard and 2nd married Sarah A. Davenport. Edmon Day was the son of Beaty and Louisa Howard Day. Edmond married Mourning Napier. Beaty Day did not marry a Garrett.
SalinaSally AnnHetty did marry a Daniel Garrett from Lee County, Va. Based on circumstantial evidence it is assumed that SalinaSally AnnHetty were the same person and that she was the daughter of Nancy Day that is listed in the 1840 Harlan county Census.
SalinaHetty was married in the home of Nancy Day. Her marriage was attested to by Fanny Day Moore, Sinclair Ledford and possibly Beaty Day. Salina took care of Elizabeth Ledford in her old age. Salina raised Hiram Day, son of Beaty and Louisa Howard Day…………..etc.
I have seem your posting on the Morgan County site regarding our Day line from Harlan County. The only connection I have found is possibly through Willoughby Day of Lee County, Va. and later Harlan County, Kentucky.
Sandy
Thank you Sandy. Glad to see that you are still around.
I seem to go in circles with this family and trust me…it isn’t hard to confuse me.
I was talking to a friend of mine today about some land I had purchased and I was waiting on a title search. He said,
“I did a title search on this place once and found out I owned it”. After standing there for about five minutes I finally shook my head. LOL It dosen’t get any better than that.
Hugs.
Sherry
