John Bush, Angeline Hewitt, Edwin Bush

msbear — 6 May 2008 6:59:15 GMT

I am looking for information to connect this family (John Bush, Angeline Hewitt, Edwin Bush) to the Levi Hewitt Descendants and the Michael Bush Descendants. There seems to be strong suggestion, that they are connected, but I cannot find enough information on John Bush.

Edwin A. Bush is my great grandfather. A picture I have from Edwin says that Angeline Bush is his mother. The headstone of Angeline Bush list her date of birth as May 1, 1842. The cemetery notes her maiden name as Hewitt and that she was the wife of John Bush.
Edwin Bush was born May 27, 1868. Edwin had 3 siblings-1 brother and 2 sisters.

I have been unable to find any birth or death information on John Bush.

Thanks for any help offered.

FAMILY HISTORY

djarnott — 30 Aug 2001 2:16:17 GMT

ATTENTION!!!
I'm looking for the decendants of ELIAS GRADY and SUSAN BOWEN who had 17 children in Roane co., Wood Co., and Jackson, Co., Wva. The children are: JAMES b. 1855, COLUMBUS(LUMB) b.1857, JOHN DIXON b.2/6/1858, REBECCA b.1866, SAMPSON(SAMPS) b.1867, ELIAS JR. b.3/1869, MARY b.1871, EMMA b. 1872, ANNIE b.1875, ALICE b.1878, CARRIE b.1879, and AARON MOSES b. 7/4/1881. I have a picture of ELIAS and SUSAN BOWEN that came from JOHN DIXON GRADY'S family at a family reunion. I will share this photograph but I am looking for a better copy so I am looking for especially JOHN DIXON'S decendants, although all responses are welcome.

I'm looking for the decendants of HENRY ARNOTT, SR. b. 3/12/1761 going down to HENRY ARNOTT, JR., and WILLIAM ARNOTT, who married ADALINE LOWE, and moved into Roane Co. from Monroe Co., Wva in 1854.

I'm looking for the decendants of LEWIS MITCHEL FERGUSON b.7/16/1863, and SOPHIA SUSANA GILL b. 7/10/1859 of Marshall Co. and moved into the Calhoun-Gilmer Co. reigion.

Ch. of James N. NORMAN (1801-aft.1870), Gilmer/Calhoun Cos.WV

John_J_Hood — 5 Feb 2008 2:01:57 GMT

I am looking for proof that James N. Norman and his wife, Catherine Summers, had a daughter named Mary (b. 1831) who married Benjamin Jeffreys of Yellow Creek, Calhoun County, WV.

I have proof the wife of Benjamin Jeffreys was Mary Norman, but I have never independently ever been able to find a record that stated the name of her parents. The names Benjamin Jeffreys and James N. Norman appear together on a number of deeds in Calhoun County, so there seems to be a connection between the two. The history of the Norman family written by Don Norman states that James N. Norman had a daughter named Mary who married Benjamin Jeffreys. I haven't found anything to contradict what Don Norman has written, but neither have I found any primary source that supports it.

When I contacted Mr. Norman, I posed the same question to him and he graciously checked his material. He couldn't find what primary material he used as he didn't have room to store all of it, so wasn't sure.

I am seeking to verify this link in my family tree. I am in no way trying to find fault or be critical of Don Norman's work, but merely verifying it.

I appreciate any clues that anyone can provide. Thanks!

John Radcliff Will - 30 December 1812 - Harrison County

Billy Curtis — 11 Feb 2003 12:52:37 GMT

Hello,

I recently purchased a certified 19th century handwritten copy of a will for John Radcliff of Gnatty Creek in Harrison County, VA/WV. The will copy is written in quill on Mt. Hope Paper stationary. The clerk of courts at the time the copy was written was Sydney Hammond. He was clerk of courts from 1864-1867. This document is NOT a copy. It is written in Sydney Hammond's hand. The original will, which he copied, was dated 30 December 1812.

The will mentions John's wife Catherine, sons John, Jonathan, James, and Benjamin, daughter Susannah, and grand-daughter Sarah Radcliff.

I would be happy to send a transcription of the will to any who are interested.

Charity Stalnaker Poling

b2horton — 3 Nov 2007 6:24:52 GMT

Charity was my great grandmother. I am seeking her death date and burial location. In 1920, she and husband Franklin were living in Braxton County with their son Roscoe Blaine. Franklin died on Dec 22, 1926, in Gallia Co Ohio, where Roscoe had moved, and his death certificate lists him as a widower. He is buried in the Mt. Tabor Cemetery near Vinton OH. So Charity died between 1920 and 1926 in either WV or OH. They lived most of their lives in Calhoun Co WV and were listed in the 1910 census with children still at home. I would assume Charity is buried beside Franklin, but grave marker readings I've found on the web do not indicate that. Any information would be greatly appreciated especially since I've exhausted all on-line sources I know about.

Riffee's of Harrison, Lewis Counties

Becky Riffee — 25 Jul 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Eugenius Jacob Sees

Robert Blankenship — 20 Sep 2002 12:43:42 GMT

In researching the Sees Family of Harrison and Tyler Counties, I have found an inconsistency in the relationship of Christopher Sees born about 1790 in Maryland and Eugenius Jacob Sees born May 5, 1834 in Harrison County.

In one Family Tree, they are listed as father and son. In another, they are father and grandson: with a John Sees as the Father of Eugenius Sees (same birthdate). What is the true picture here? I have no information on John Sees as a son of Christopher.

Carder-Bennet marriage

C.H. Bud Carder — 24 Feb 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Manly Carder, ca 1790-1890, lived in Lewis County the last several years of his life.

Can anyone point me to documents that would confirm the marriage, provide a date and place, and confirm the child? Thanks

Ambrose Williams/Mildred Luddington,,

lfleming150 — 22 Feb 2006 1:23:49 GMT

Ambrose Williams and Millie Luddington were married in Greenbrier Co in 1786.

He was an elder brother to John Williams and Ann Jones. He was a speculator and was in the Braxton, Nicholas and Webster aea as early as 1785, pursuing land grants.

Their children were John B who married Mary, William who maried Rebecca Heater, Joseph who returned with wife, Rebecca Brown to Greenbrier. Samuel S who married Sara Donoho, Rebecca married George Wine, Mary married Harvey Ware, Margaret married a Williams cousin, Martha married Hugh Blake, Elizabeth did not marry, Bazel married Lucinda Howell and the record reflects they did not belong to this family.

Margaret Williams married Andrew Blake Sr in Greenbrier in 1793. They moved to the north of Oil Creek before the formation of Braxton County. That family was: Andrew Jr. who married Catherince Crissmore, in Lewis Co. John married Abigail Crissmore. Hugh who married Martha Wiliams, Hannah Blake was the widow of Isaac Ocheltree..

The article is quite long. It is in the Braxton County History, page 257, and authored by James S. Blake.

I looked in my DAR books and did not find Ambrose...there are several Luddingtons listed so if I had a first name, the father might possibly be there...

Thanks.

husband of Mary Poling

fsturms — 14 Oct 2004 6:46:44 GMT

Looking for father of Emory Talbott. His parents are ___ Talbott and Mary Poling. Have not been able to find given name of Emory's father or connect him to Richard Talbott's descendants in Barbour Co WV. The 1860 Barbour Co census lists Emery Talbott (age 24) and Clarinda (Stalnaker, age 25). Note spelling of Emery. Have also seen Emry. His gravestone in the Central Chapel cemetery in Meadowville WV has it spelled Emery. It also has his age at death on 8 Oct 1898 as 68, which should probably be 63 to agree with census records and other data showing his birth date in 1835. The 1850 census however shows no Talbott family with wife Mary and a child Emory age 15 or 16. There is a child Emory age 16 listed with James and Elizabeth (Vannoy) Poling. This could be Emory Talbott living with relatives of his mother Mary Poling Talbott. I haven't been able to look at the 1840 census (probably VA and Harrison Co).

NOAH THOMAS ROWAN, SOPHRONA (ROWAN) WHITE

Sandra Nicklow — 15 Jul 2005 5:25:43 GMT

My Great Grandfather on my mothers side was NOAH THOMAS ROWAN. He was born June 2, 1879. His father was WILLIAM THOMAS ROWAN and his mother was MARTHA FLETCHER. I believe that NOAH THOMAS ROWAN was born in Lewis County.

My Great Grandmother on my fathers side was SOPHRONA ROWAN, and she married ODE WHITE. SOPHRONA ROWAN was born about 1882. I believe that she also was born in Lewis County. I have been told that SOPHRONA ROWAN and NOAH THOMAS ROWAN may be brother and sister.

SOPHRONA and NOAH THOMAS ROWAN both settled in Braxton County in 1900, according to the Census. Both my mother and father were born and raised in Sutton, Braxton County.

I would greatly appreciate any information on them, birth records, death records. Any information would be very much appreciated.

Her obit lists that she was the daughter of the late Minter Earl and Allcinda Blake Cookman Jackson. It also shows that she was preceded in death by one brother, George Jackson; and one niece, Julia Jackson Nichols.

Jackson Family Genealogy Website

Jerald Gross — 27 Jan 2005 9:31:36 GMT

Just wanted to let you know that there is a new site for descendants of Robert and Agnes (Washboure) Jackson. It can be found at the following link:

http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com

The purpose of the web site is to find and record as many branches of descendants of Robert Jackson (1620-1685) as possible and make a connection place for many Jacksons. In addition to the family tree data, the site has many other pages to browse; a major one being the transcription of a Jackson Ledger found at Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants Library. It was written in 1887 and connects many other related families including Bailey, Arnold, Atkins, Bassel and others. This Ledger has helped many to break down their brick walls. So come and explore this site. Please also feel free to sign the guestbook.

Weston State Hospital History

MargueriteHoward — 27 Nov 2005 8:19:41 GMT

I had a 2nd gr-grand uncle who was in the hospital several years. When he died in the 1920's, the family had him brought home to be buried in Ohio with his family.
I have his death record from the WV State Archives. Since this new privacy law has been passed, I don't know if it will be possible to get records less than 100 years old now.
Here is a link to a site on the History of Weston State Possible. It's really good, listed by years.
Good luck in your searching.

COBUN, Catherine 65 F W Pauper , b.VA

The question on my mind is why does Dunk Queen's mother have the last name Coburn instead of Queen? Levi L Queen died about 1850 and his widow should be Catherine Queen, not Catherine Coburn..

The Queen books all say the Catherine that married Levi L Queen was Catherine Coburn. I am wondering why two documents list her name as Lowther and I am also wondering why she has the surname Coburn in 1880.

Theory:
1) Levi L. Queen marries Catherine Lowther in 1802.
2) Levi Queen dies about 1850.
3) Catherine Lowther Queen marries a Coburn.
4) Catherine's Coburn husband dies before 1880.
5) She is remembered as Catherine Coburn and when the story is retold Levi L Queen married Catherine Coburn in 1802.

I am wondering if anyone has any info on a Coburn marrying a Catherine Queen or Catherine Lowther around 1850. Is there a Coburn in the 1860 or 1870 census that has a wife named Catherine?

Thoughts?

J40M44 — 13 Oct 2001 2:55:16 GMT

I am trying to get information to Dave Taylor who made an inquiry in August 1999. I emailed him but it came back.

I emailed the following:

James Morrison, Jr. was my ggg-grandfather. Elizabeth Bozarth married him after her first husband, Uriah Fornaish died. After James died, she married Andrew Pickens. I bought a book, " "The People of Vandalia Community Lewis County, W. Va." by Sam W. Hardman & W. H. Peterson from Hackers Creek Pioneer Descendants Library of which I am a member. Yes, it does have informatiion on these families. It is a very good book. you can also get a cemetery listing of the Vandalia Cemetery where alot of them are buried. We were there last summer. My gg-randfather was John: his son David was my gg-grandfather and his son Edward was my grandfather. My gg-grandfather was a brother to David that married Helen Shreves and Hannah Powers. I have more information.

I have an old picture of my grandfather Edward and Grandma Vernie (Cummings), a picture of my grandfather and his brother Sam. I found alot of pictures in my grandma's trunk but nothing is written on them so I don't know if they are Morrison's or Cummings.

I am willing to share information with you.
