Waiting for mail

I am waiting for a letter from the Scottish Genealogy Society in Edinburgh, Scotland. I found a reference to Catherine Fisher, wife of Hugh Forgey, in Donald Whyte's  A dictionary of Scottish emigrants to the USA. A book I found at Google books. The author deposited his source material at the Scottish Genealogy Society library. I requested a copy of the source material for Catherine Fisher and her father Archibald Fisher. I am hoping it contains leads to more info. I am still searching for a record of the marriage of Hugh Forgey and Catherine Fisher, and a list of the names of their children. They lived in Hawkins County and Knox County, TN in the late 1700's and early 1800's.

Where my research stands

I was able to quickly trace my Grandfather Rudoph Kapple or Koppel's family in Austria using the hints from the Burgenland Bunch website. I am now working on the Forgey and Owens lines. I believe that Hugh Forgey and Catherine Fisher are parents of Andrew Forgey b. 1794 Tennessee he later migrated to Indiana, then Iowa where he died. Circumstantial evidence, naming patterns and proximity , point to Hugh Forgey and Catherine Fisher as parents. Also an autosomal DNA test seems to point in that direction. Just waiting for more records to surface.
On the Owens side there is confusion about which James Owens was named in John and Susannah Owens probate records. I believed my James D. Owens is named as their son, the descendants of another James Owens believes it is their ancestor. Both James lived in Bracken County, KY and state they were born in PA. Both were roughly the same age. The basis for my claim is naming patterns.
Since very few records were kept at these early dates in Kentucky and Tennessee I have had to rely on unconventional sources.

My Research Blog

I will use this blog to record my research progress. I've been researching since 1999. I live in Southern California (Whittier). Most of my ancestors, at some point, lived in the Midwest. My grandmother Graciela Del Castillo-Forgey was a native of Nicaragua where she married my, Indiana native and US Marine, Grandfather Charles Forgey. My grandfather Rudolph Kapple was a native of Inzenhof, Austria; he later settled in the Chicago Illinois area. My great-grand mother Helen Mullen-Mason was a native of Galway Ireland later settling in Chicago, Illinois.
