Warwick's & Kentucky Coal Mines

"My name is Don Warwick. I discovered your site while attempting some research on my family name. I have always been very interested in my roots. Here in Louisville, Kentucky the Warwick name is rare indeed. I was born in 1957. My father was George Warwick, his father was Ross Warwick, and his father, Joseph Warwick, then his father, Emanuel Warwick who was born in the 1870's and was married to Mary Nelson. Emanuel's brothers were, Frasier and Harvey Warwick. I know that Joseph was born in Tennessee. But am not sure about Emanuel. He may have been born in Virginia as I know his father was born there but do not know his name. I am told that Joseph was a very tall man for his time, probably about 6'-6". Regardless, my understanding is that my Warwick clan by earliest accounts was in Virginia but am not sure of any previous individuals or their pathway to Virginia . I know that my grandfather Ross Warwick left Tennessee for the work in the coal mines of east Kentucky and his father and brothers also worked some in the coal mines of Kentucky. I was always told that originally the Warwick's hailed from England. I would enjoy any information you can share with me and would be glad to answer any questions you may have." -- Don Warwick - Email: iceis@insightbb.com   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
