Martha Jane Humphreys Kinsey, A Family History — John Ludlow Jr. + Ruth (Ludlow) Baxter + Catherine (Ludlow) Long families

Transcription and notes

Kinsey, Martha Jane Humphreys, A Family History (Ancestry "U.S., Family History Books," title 62282_f776f160_0442), book pp. 33–34 (+ p. 21, added 2026-07-19). Maintainer screenshots 2026-06-27 (pp.33–34) + 2026-07-19 (p.21). Sub-ID of [I.167] (same book — that entry covers child I of John Ludlow × Susan DeMun [William D. Ludlow, p. 28]; this covers the tail of the Bigham family + children VI–VIII: John Ludlow Jr., Ruth Baxter, Catherine Long).

p. 21 — Daniel Cooper Sr × Grace Runyon's NINE children (added 2026-07-19) [verbatim]

Screenshot 2026-07-19 (Ancestry "U.S., Family History Books," image showing book p. [21]). A second published witness to Daniel Sr's full child-roster — independently naming Peter (IV) and George (VIII), the two the catalog had held on Brode [I.130] alone:

"The children of Daniel and Grace Rognion (Runyon) Cooper were: I. *Catherine Cooper, b. 1728, m. Cornelius Ludlow. II. Daniel Cooper, Jr., b. January 14, 1729, m. August 13, 1751, Catherine Hankinson, 2d, Nancy Cross. III. Agnes Cooper, b. May 15, 1732. IV. Peter Cooper, b. February 11, 1735, d. October, 1755. V. John Cooper, b. August 20, 1738, d. March 31, 1778. VI. Benjamin Cooper, b. December 13, 1741, d. December, 1794. VII. Rosannah Cooper, b. December 13, 1741. VIII. George Cooper, b. August 20, 1745, d. September 20, 1801. IX. Anne Cooper, b. October 4, 1750, d. February 5, 1795, m. Jonas Carle."

Catalog map: I=[p.51] · II=[p.79] · III=Agnes (b.1732) · IV=[p.267] Peter (b. 11 Feb 1735, d. Oct 1755) · V=[p.8] · VI=[p.2] Benjamin · VII=Rosannah · VIII=[p.80] George · IX=[p.602] Anne (Carle). Caveat on independence: Kinsey and Brode [I.130] are both Ludlow-descendant compilations and may share an upstream source — so "two published witnesses agree" is a real but not fully-independent corroboration. Note VI+VII both dated "December 13, 1741" (Benjamin + Rosannah as twins, or a copy-error repeating the date) — same as Brode.

Notes (not on the document)

• Finding it on Ancestry — author is MIS-SPELLED "Knisey": in the "U.S., Family History Books" collection, Ancestry indexes the author as "Martha Jane Humphreys Knisey" (confirmed on the record detail panel, 2026-06-30). The true spelling is Kinsey. ⇒ search Ancestry for the misspelled "Knisey" (or by an indexed person, e.g. "George Bigham" with father David Bigham / mother Susan Ludlow); a "Kinsey" search misses it. Title token 62282_f776f160_0442; Bigham + Owens content = book p. 33.
• Susan (Ludlow) Bigham's full child-set is now captured (complete p. 33, 2026-06-30): Martha Jane Cummings [p.1026] (+ children Martha J. Owens-Morse [p.1545], John W. Owens IId × Lucy Wasson [p.1546]); Mary Judith (Hawley, → San Francisco) [p.1025]; George (d. inf.) [p.1023]; William D. (d. Cincinnati 1866) [p.1024]; Frances Susan (Fosdick) [p.1021]; David T. (× Anna Curtis) [p.1022].
• Documents all 4 Baxter children of [p.874 Ruth (Ludlow) Baxter] × [p.1523 John Baxter]: Susan Jane (Eddingfield, 1828–1847) [p.1040], Martha Ann (Harper/Argadine, 1828–1886) [p.1039], Andrew James (1833–1913, of Clermont/Deerfield) [p.1038], John Ludlow Baxter (1837–1854) [p.1037] — previously L.4-only stubs, now FaG-dated ([G.270]/[G.271]).
• Husband correction: Kinsey's "Ruth Ludlow, m. James Baxter" (above; + I.167a's "Mrs. James Baxter") is an error. Ruth's husband was John Baxter (1800–1889); James (1760–1821) was John's father. FaG ([G.271]) + Brode's Ludlow-Ross ([I.130]) + John's own 1882 History of Warren County, Ohio bio all give John.
• Documents [p.1021] Frances Susan Bigham = "m. Charles W. Fosdick of Glendale, Ohio; son Dearing Fosdick" — corroborates her as a real child of [p.876] Susan (Ludlow) Bigham (this Kinsey page, not the G.232 "Susan Frances Cooper" she name-collided with).
• Extends [p.877 John Ludlow Jr]: his own d. 23 Apr 1875 + wife Hetty Niles (15 Jul 1799 – 7 Jul 1866) + 5 children (Kinsey, vs L.4's "3"): Harriett (m. Dr. Truman), Stephen, Dr. John Ludlow (m. Maria Van Mater), Amanda (1824–1891) m. Charles Kendrick (Civil War, d. 1863) → Kendrick/Sayre grandchildren, William Ludlow (dentist, College Hill OH; m.1 Rebecca Carey, m.2 Mrs. Reed) → incl. Dr. Truman Carey Ludlow → Wanda Ludlow, actress.
• Catherine (Charlotte) Ludlow [Long] moved to Ohio 1790, near White's Station, Hamilton Co.; children Susan Long, Josephine Long (new), John Ludlow Long [p.1041] / Susan Long [p.1042].
• Kinsey numbers the children of John Ludlow × Susan DeMun I–VIII (William D. = I at [I.167]; these = VI–VIII). Cross-check the I–V gap (II–V) against L.4/[I.130]/[I.131] when those pages surface.
