Jasper, Susie E. Jasper.   Priscilla Malvina Huffaker A Conclusion Over the past five years I have been researching and looking for the mother and father of my second great grandmother, Priscilla Malvina Huffaker. This has been a quest, not to say the least. Family lore carried the legend that she was “the surviving one of two or three sick Indian children found alone in a cave/ found as a small child in the woods alone/ by a man with the last name Huffaker”. I always had a problem with these storie. If she was found in a cave or in the woods alone how did they know her birth date, last name and how did Priscilla know her father and mother were both born in Casey County, KY, as her marriage license proclaims? As one lady, an incredible source of information in my quest, told me, "the old tale about Priscilla found in a cave is like the old folks telling us a bird laid us on a stump and the sun came out and hatched us or that there used to be a old burned out tree where we lived and we came running out of the burned tree when it caught on fire." Priscilla Malvina Huffaker was born on 1 June, 1855 in Pulaski County, KY. She died on 16 April, 1898 in Pulaski County, KY. She is buried in Morgan Cemetery, Pulaski County, KY. The photo of her grave stone has just the name “Malvina Jasper” on it. Not Priscilla Malvina Jasper. I found this interesting. I believe the “story” to this line to be this: No Longer A Conclusion   Dan, here is what I recall Dad saying about his Grandmother. Melevina Huffaker... her birth parents were, George Huffaker & Lucy Richardson, Lucy was a daughter of John Richardson...one of the founders of Pulaski County,also a solder of the American Rev. Jessie's daughters Married, Fords, Huffaker, Higganbottem and Dollarhide men...John Ford that married one of the Richardson girls were the parents of Nancy Hinds 2nd wife of William Jasper, mother of Thomas Jasper, Nancy was 1st married to Liva Hinds who died while they were living in Texas...after his death Nancy and her children moved back to Ky were she married William Jasper...so if this is true Thomas's mother and Melevina were causins...So check ur records and see what u come up with...This is just me trying to remember what Dad had told me about his grandmother....let me know what u find. This is the line of Priscilla Malvina Huffaker. Hans Michael Huffaker & Rachel Burlaemmer John (Johann) Michael Huffaker & Unknown Michael Huffaker & Catherine Kitsby Cakely or Cokely Isaac Huffaker & Elizabeth Hutchinson George H.

William Marion Vaught Elizabeth (Betty) Jasper  William Marion Vaught was born 1/27/1867 died 1/31/1960 buried in Shady Grove Cemetery. Married Elizabeth K. Jasper born 6/1/1875 and died 2/16/1960. They were married 3/8/1896 in Pulaski County. She was his second wife, he was married first to Hulda (or Hilda) E. Dick on 9/12/1886. We believe she died young, perhaps in childbirth as they had a daughter Louisa B. Vaught who was born Jan 1889. The children as we have them for William & Elizabeth are as follows: Martha A. Vaught born 12/18/1896 died 4/18/1964, James D. or P. Vaught born. 2/13/1898 died 4/15/1956, Bonnie F.

Walter V. Trusty  Bonnie F. Vaught    We think Walter V. Trusty was born in 1891. We know he was born in KY/ his father was also born in KY/his mother was born in Kansas. He married Bonnie Vaught (daughter of William Marion Vaught and Elizabeth Catherine Jasper Vaught) in Somerset, (Pulaski County) KY, also born in KY, married her sometime around 1916-17. Marguerite Trusty Molloy’s notes show her born April 13, 1898 and dying Sept. 12, 1947. They moved to Cincinnati, OH. He may have had other relatives in Cincinnati. We think they may have been the Allie May Trusty line in Cincinnati, also others maybe in Akron and Canton, OH (we think). Walter was killed working for the Pennsylvania Railroad 1945 somewhere between Cincinnati and Louisville. When Walter and Bonnie divorced/the children went to the custody of Walter who supported them by working for the Pennsylvania Railroad (probably divorced mid to late 1920s, (he boarded then with relatives here in Cincinnati and in Akron, OH). In 1930 census the three children are listed as living in a boarding house in Stark County, Plain TWP, OH. Marguerite was 12, Bill was 10 and Tom was 6. We believe they also lived with relatives on his side - the Trusty/Debord/Merritt family in Cincinnati for some time after this, We think. Bonnie had another daughter subsequently that she named Bonnie, who was half-sister to Marguerite, Tom and Bill. This half-sister died in 2002 (cancer, We believe) in Canton where she lived most of her adult life, We believe. Her married name was Keller (Kellar?) and she had 4-5 children. A 1920 Cincinnati census shows a Walter V. Trusty who was 26 and a machinist for the RR. He was born KY, his father KY and his mother was born in Kansas. Bonnie was 19 (We think she may have been 21) and born KY as also were her parents in (William Marion and Elizabeth Jasper). Marguerite was 1 year and 7 months old at this time, so we assume the census was filled out in January, 1920, and she was born in OH. She was born in Cincinnati – Amelia Earhart shows as a midwife on her birth certificate! and there was a 16 year old niece living with them whose last name was DeBord born in KY . The children of Walter V & Bonnie F are as follows: Marguerite, Bill, Tom.
