Richard Witt born in Simpson County, Ky. about 1861 the son of William and Martha Martin Witt. Married Lillie Daisy Parker in Tullahoma, Tn. July 10, 1914. Lillie was the daughter of Peter O. Parker and Mary Jane Davenport from Hadley, Michigan. Mary Jane was the daughter of Samuel Davenport and granddaughter of Jesse Davenport. Richard died in Hopkinsville,Ky. March 13, 1919. Richard and Lillie had the following children. Ray, Mary Ruth and Jessie Catherine.
The information I have on the Bachman and Shockley families was sent to me by Becky Uzarski. She obtained the information from her mother Joyce Pawlowski, who is the niece of Vernon Bachman and daughter of Nettie Bachman. Nettie was the child of Anna (Coria)Shockley Bachman and William Bachman. Most of the information came from a "Family Pictorial", which is similar to the records found in a family bible. Vernon Bachman is the biological father of Jeffrey Boyersmith. Jeffrey was adopted by Earl Boyersmith.
Jessie Catherine Witt Krause died March 3, 2009 at the age of 90 in Charlotte, Michigan. Jessie was buried two and a half months later in a little cemetary near Buckley, Michigan. She couldn't be buried before this due to the frozen ground. I was told that when the hearse took Jessie up to the northen part of Lower Michigan the driver got lost. Poor Jessie was having a terrible time trying to get buried. She is at rest now.
