Ky. The descendants George "Goldenhawk" Sizemore's more than 50 children are raising money for a proper tombstone to "the progenitor" of many. "If all of Goldenhawk's people donated just $1, we'd have enough money to build a monument as big as the courthouse," said Magoffin County Historical Society president Todd Preston. But Preston, 71, has more modest ambitions. The current 3-foot-high concrete grave marker, placed in 1938 by three Sizemore grandsons, is broken and crumbling.

A glass-enclosed inscription was shattered long ago. "I don't know that we're planning a really elaborate monument," Preston said, "but I think it should be something that would stand the wear and tear of the years."

A true count of Goldenhawk's offspring is nearly impossible, Magoffin County school Superintendent Henry Sizemore said, because of sketchy birth records and the fact that most of his children were girls, and they married into other families in many counties. Many of Goldenhawk's descendants still live in Magoffin County, where he is buried, but, ironically, few of them are named Sizemore.

"There's not enough of us left here in the county to empanel a jury," said Henry Sizemore, Goldenhawk's greatgreat-great-grandson. "The men left the county." Many of the men, however, stayed in Clay and Leslie counties where, for example, Thomas Sizemore is Leslie's school superintendent and his brother, Onzie Sizemore, is judge-executive.

"Obviously, Goldenhawk was a very fertile, active individual, wasn't he?" Thomas Sizemore asked. Records and family lore say Goldenhawk was one of eight children produced by George All Sizemore and Aggie Shepherd Sizemore, an American Indian who was kidnapped mistake in about 1750 and raised by by a family named Cornett. When he grew up, Goldenhawk began courting a woman in North Carolina named Sally Anderson, Henry Sizemore said, but her two brothers "objecting to their sister dating an Indian waylaid him one night and tried to kill him.
