Nelson County, KY. 8/19/1833: There appeared before a justice of the peace, Ann Gough Howard, age 90, and Susan Gough Montgomery, age 80, who swore that they were the sisters of Ignatius Gough and recall that sometimes in 1776 at the beginning of the War, Ignatius enlisted. Sometime in Spring of 1778, he returned home sick and had been discharged. "We recollect that he was frequently called for duties during the wars afterward."

Jerry,
I have copy of booklet printed in 1987, the 200th anniversary of St Thomas Church. I'll attempt to scan a couple of pages and attach to this msg. Note the writer says the 200 acres of church property was originally Edward Howard's Poplar Neck Plantation and that he left it to his son, Thomas & wife, Ann GOUGH. If you've not seen this booklet, I'll copy and mail same as it is only abt 10 pages. I've been to St Thomas a few times and know the pastor who is very active in the MD to KY genealogy group.
That farm was site of a seminary and also an orphanage as well as being the first home of Bishop Flaget, who later moved to Louisville and established the head of the diocese here. By the 1960s St Thomas Orphanage & St Thomas Seminary, both named after their Nelson County origins, were each thriving on large farms east of Louisville. In the 1970s both institutions fell victim to "progress" and were sold to developers and are now covered with houses. I live in "The Woods of St Thomas" subdivision located on the former seminary farm.
(I hope Thomas & Ann do not hold me, as a kinsman, accountable as an accomplice in allowing materialism to put an end to what their gift grew into.)
Thomas A. (Tony) Howard
