=======================================
Edmund STITH and Mary were:

Edmund J Stith, son of Richard STITH, Jr and Elizabeth Jones

1 [1] 579 Edmund J STITH b: May 25, 1814 in KY (a submitted sheet says he
is Edward & b 1813, but this is from Bible Records) d: April 02, 1860

.+12060 Ermine HARDAWAY b: in (I have no proof of her, myself-JPC) m:
December 19, 1837
*2nd Wife of [1] 579 Edmund J STITH:
.+580 Mary S DOWELL b: May 28, 1825 in Meade Co, KY m: August 22, 1844 in
Meade Co, KY - Living Meade Co, KY 1850 Father: James B Dowell
===============================
Thomas H and Lucy Stith:
(son of William B Stith, (William Sr) & Nancy Jones)
1 1315 Thomas Hawfield STITH b: Abt. 1800 in VA d: Aft. 1850 in Was
in Meade Co, KY (KY Dist) in 1850 Census
.+569 Lucy Jones STITH b: March 02, 1802 in VA m: May 27, 1819 in In
Meade Co, KY in 1850 Census - children b KY d: October 06, 1876 Father:
Richard Stith, Jr Mother: Elizabeth "Betsy" Jones
===================================
I think that the Thomas J STITH would have to be this one:

1 575 Thomas Jefferson STITH, Jr b: June 10, 1800 in VA (lived next to
Thomas S Stith family in Hardin Co, KY) d: Aft. 1850 in Was in Hardin
Co, KY in 1850

children d: Aft. 1850 in Was in Hardin Co, KY in 1850
===========================================
I kind of think that these two Jesse Stiths could be the Sr and Jr, but I
don't have any Jesse H Stiths in the files. Jesse, written in the old time
handwriting would look like Jepe, as the second S was written like an F or P.

Descendants of Jesse M Jones Stith

1 583 Jesse M Jones STITH b: March 14, 1818 in Lived in Meade Co, KY

John "Jack" Stith, M D Mother: Susan (Susannah) Hightower
*3rd Wife of [1] 576 John Craig STITH: (I doubt that she was married to this
John, as Mahala Ann Stith didn't die until after 1849)
.+7946 Martha HARDAWAY m: May 16, 1834 in Hardin Co, Ky
=======================================

==========================================
I know very little about these Shrewsburys, but this is what I think. Either
Simeon was father or brother of Mary Board.

Descendants of Shrewsbury

1 12248 SHREWSBURY
.2 709 Simeon SHREWSBURY, "R S" b: in Of Hardin/Meade Co, KY (church
recds put RS at end of name, but I doubt he was old enough to be a Rev.
veteran)
.....+12219 CATHARINE m: unknown I am assuming Simeon is sibling or
parent of Mary Polly since their membership at Big Spr M E Church they are
listed together
.2 8557 Mary "Polly" SHREWSBERRY b: Abt. 1800 d: in she is not
shown in 1850 census
.....+8556 Henderson BOARD b: Abt. 1790 in VA m: March 11, 1817 in
Breckinridge Co, KY - the "children" shown could also be grandchildren
d: Aft. 1850 in Was in Breckinridge Co, KY as head of household in 1850
===================================
I suspect that the Mary E BOARD shown below Mary Shrewsbury BOARD in the
church roll could be the Mary, shown as a child, below, but looking at the
ages, I suspect that these children were grandchildren - perhaps whose
parents had died. I think that the Buckner Board must have been a son of
Henderson and Mary. I have none of their children listed here, as this was
just those with them in the 1850 census.
Descendants of Mary "Polly" Shrewsberry

1 8557 Mary "Polly" SHREWSBERRY b: Abt. 1800 d: in she is not
shown in 1850 census
