Milly Park was a daughter of Ebenezer and Keturah Turner Park both from Rowan Co. North Carolina. Ebenezer and Keturah came to Kentucky prior to 1797 and settled at Station Camp,Estill,Ky. where Daniel Boone had maintained his hunting camp. Ebenezer was a well to do farmer all his life,and was a legislator from Estill County. In 1835 Milly married Jonathan Scrivner and to this marriage was born two daughters and 4 sons. William M. and John W. died in the Federal Army fighting for their nations survival. In November 1847 the widow Scrivner married the widower Wm. Jonathan Moores who had 6 sons. This combined family sent 6 sons to fight for Union. The two Scrivner daughters Jemima and Keturah(2 Biblical-Family names) married 2 of their Moores stepbrothers John Alexander and Josiah Moores. Out of all these families Milly had 47 grandchildren and 22 of them were Moores children. As late as 1938 these people were still having Moores-Scrivner reunions. Jemima Scrivner Moores was my Great great grandmother. Family lore has it that Jemima blamed Lincoln for the war and the deaths of her brothers and for that this reason her branch of the Moores were all Democrats and the others Republicans.
