I"m a descendant many of generations that lived in Crocus. in Columbia, all in Adair County. I've been looking for any archives of my ancestors; I've found some things, but not as much asI I thought. I'm looking for someone that possibly has expertise in this area. If you know of anyone I greatly appreciate it. I guess I should've mentioned: This is African American History. I live in Chicago. I've been there many times for research. I haven't really turned up a lot. My daughter just started at Kentucky State Universtiy, so I'll be in state more often. I'm hoping someone can connect me to a historian in the area - or should I say someone who knows the families history in this area. Zenobia Hurd, 312-662-9406.Thanks - Good luck in your search. The first start might be the genealogy department at the Adair County Public Library, 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY, Phone 270-384-2472, and ask for Ernestine Bennett or Jewell Kimbler, who have the information or know where it can be found.
