Samuel Rector, born in Fauquier Co., Va., Aug. 10, 1780 and died March 21, 1862 in Wayne County, Kentucky. He moved to Rowan County with his father when a small boy. Then moved with family to Grayson County and left Grayson County between 1804 and 1807. Dr. Salmans shows Samuel in Grayson County with one “tithable” in 1804. Don’t know what this means. The records of Wayne County, Kentucky shows that on Feb. 14, 1807 Samuel Rector posted a 50L bond for the marriage of himself and Ruth Simpson. Permission for the marriage was signed by her father Reuben Simpson. So he married shortly after the above-posted date Ruth Simpson, born Jan. 8. 1790 in South Carolina. They lived out the rest of their lives in a high rolling valley in Kentucky surrounded by low hills of the Cumberland Mountains. They both lived to ripe old age. He died at 82. She died years later at age 88. According to census records, they had nine children.

There is a possibility of another girl, however I do not have her placed yet by the records. Girls are harder to find, for they marry and change their names. All of the above are buried in the little cemetery near the Rector’s Flatt Baptist Church south of Monticello, Kentucky with the exceptions of Reuben Simpson who is buried with his wife in Tranquilla in the Bethesda cemetery and Joseph William who migrated to Arkansas, then Texas. I have the birth and death dates of most of them. The cemetery is in very good conditions, some new gravestone having been made to replace old ones that were gone.
