We have records for this family using several different spellings - Sturgus, Sturgess, Sturgis, Sterges. John Sturgess, a relative of John J. Sturgess and Elizabeth Perkins, has provided much of the information on the above marriages and has a good deal of information on later Sturgess heirs.* records of Ronda Chestnut, jchesnut@sprintmail.com
# records of John Sturgess.
^Kentucky Marriage Records.
We are still trying to find the original immigrant Sturgess. We
do not know if John Sturgess may have been married prior to this
marriage. Since he is projected to be forty-two years old when his
first known child born it is very concievable (pardon the pun)
that he could have had an earlier marriage and family. Records in
Kentucky at this time are lacking to prove many marriages and
probate in this frontier. He does show up in Lincoln Co., Kentucky
with a young family.
