>I am taking the liberty of posting your query to the St. Mary's County discussion list. In looking over what I have this morning and doing a little searching, I'm inclined to believe that Robert Fenwick was the son of Richard Fenwick who died 1852 in Union Co., KY. I also think that the census data taken in 1850 was in error and Robert said he was born in Washington Co. and the census taker assumed it was Washington, D.C. In 1860, Robert said he was born in KY. Two of his sons in 1880 said their father was born in KY.

KY to Elizabeth Burch. He died on Sept. 30, 1862 in Union Co.KY. I would like to know who his parents are, and any other info you could help me with. How do you charge for info? Thank you so much for your help. Please reply to suebird@comcast.net.
