N. Bert Earle (1823-1865)

N. Bert Earle was born on July 25, 1823 in Kentucky.  Although I have not found any documentation of his parentage, I think he may be the son of Edward Hampton Earle and Susan Davis.

N. B. married Mariam C. Rees sometime before 1850.  Mariam was born on November 7, 1831 in Kentucky. 

N. B. and Mariam were the parents of at least two children:

Susan L. Earle                     born January 1854

Josephine R. Earle              born August 10, 1856

In 1850, N. B. and Mariam were living in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  They were living next to Edward and Susan Earle.

Susan L. Earle died in September 1854 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was just 8 months old at her death.

Mariam C. Rees Earle died on January 6, 1860 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was buried in Bishop Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Mariam was 28 years old at her death.

In June 1860, N. B. and his daughter, Josephine, were living and working on a farm in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Also laboring on the farm were six slaves; three male and three female.

N. B. remarried on December 1, 1861 to Pauline Gregory.  They were married in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  Pauline was 16 years old, and this was her first marriage.  Pauline was born on August 11, 1845 in Union County, Kentucky, the daughter of Richard Gregory and Sarah F. Waggener.

N. B. and Pauline were the parents of one child:

Sallie Earle               born September 21, 1863

N. Bert Earle died on September 17, 1865 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was laid to rest near his first wife, Mariam, in Bishop Cemetery in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  He was 42 years old at his death.

After the death of her father, Josephine Earle went to live with her uncle, Aspasia Earle, and his wife in their home in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was listed in their household in the 1870 US Census.

Josephine R. Earle died on April 26, 1878 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was laid to rest in the Grapevine Cemetery in Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was 21 years old at her death.

Elizabeth Boggess (1826-1891)

Elizabeth Boggess

Daughter of Lemuel Boggess, Sr. and Rachel Oates

Elizabeth Boggess was born on September 3, 1826 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  She was the second daughter and the third of six children born to Lemuel and Rachel Boggess.  Her father died when Elizabeth was about 7 years old, and her mother remarried three years later.  She grew up on the family farm in Muhlenberg, and eventually became the third eldest of thirteen children.

Elizabeth married Aspasia William Earle, but the actual date has been difficult to verify.  It is a popular notion (as documented on numerous websites) that Elizabeth and Aspasia married in 1835 in Muhlenberg, Kentucky.  However, this may not be the case.  If Elizabeth married Aspasia in 1835, that would make her around nine years old at her marriage.  Also, Elizabeth is most likely the child, aged between 10 and 15 years, listed in the John Wickliffe household in 1840.  This also makes her marriage to Aspasia in 1835 highly unlikely.  If the date is wrong, one might assume she and Aspasia were married around 1845, which would be much more agreeable.  If the marriage date is in fact closer to 1845, then Elizabeth would have been around 19 years old and Aspasia about 30 years.  Aspasia William Earle was born on September 25, 1815 in Kentucky.

After their marriage, Aspasia and Elizabeth made their home Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky, where Aspasia worked as a farmer.  

In 1870, Josephine Earle, a niece, was living with Aspasia and Elizabeth.  Then in 1880, Ida Boggess and Edna Martin (a niece and grandniece, respectively) were living in the Earle household.  

There is no record of any children born to Aspasia and Elizabeth. 

Elizabeth Boggess Earle died on April 29, 1891, in Hopkins County, Kentucky.  She was 64 years old.  Her husband died two years and eleven months later.  

Aspasia William Earle died on March 23, 1893 in the same county.  He was 77 years old at his death.
