Thanks for the information everyone.

In 1860 I found William A. Oglesby living in Estill Co. Ky age 28 with wife Eliza 23 and children David A. 7, Nancy J. 5, Jas 3, David 60 born in Virginia. I went back to 1850 and found David Oglesby age 52 born in VA in Madison County, KY. Children are Owen W 20, Will 18, Mary J. 16, John 12, Sarah M 11 all born in Ky. David is also listed in Madison Co 1840 census with Jesse Oglesby, Jr with father Jesse Oglesby living with him listed as a Revolutionary solider age 76. Pulled up the Revolutionary Pension Abstracts for Madison Co. It states he was born in Fluvania Co, VA. and moved from Amherst Co. VA. His wife is mention as Celia Oglesby and her maiden name was Witt. They married in Amherst Co. VA Sept 25, 1796. I will have to check the Will of Jesse Oglesby in Madison Co. for more information regarding the children.

I found in Catherine web site a Jesse Oglesby married to Celia Witt.

Thanks everyone I have many new leads to follow
