| 13901 | Diantha is widely accepted by researchers to have been the biological daughter of Joseph J. Davis, 1818-1892, the son of Nathan J. Davis and Keziah Davis. Joseph Davis was married to Sarah "Sallie" Davis at the time of Diantha's birth. Diantha reportedly took the Davis surname at some point (she was listed as Diantha Lowther in the 1850 Census, but later was known as Diantha Mary Davis) and moved to Ohio (possibly with her mother Barsheba, about whom nothing more is known), where she married and raised a family. 1850 Census, Doddridge County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Aug 1 1850: Mary Lowther, 58; Barsheba, 32; Armstrong, 16; Diantha, 9 1870 Census, Clarke Co, Ohio (Harmony Twp), enumerated on Jun 22 1870: John Richman, 40, b. in Wurtemburg, farmer; Dianthen Richman, 26, b.

| 13937 | Doddridge Commissioners Record, Volume I, Page 4, entry dated Wednesday, April 6, 1864: "Resolved that Lemuel E. Brown be and he is hereby appointed a Commissioner to examine the Courthouse of this county and list what repairs are necessary to be done thereon, and the probable costs to provide material, and whether the same can be obtained from any persons, who is willing to wait for the pay, until the first February 1865; and that he report to the next meeting of this Court." | BROWN, Lemuel E.

|
| 13938 | Doddridge County Birth Records 2-332 show a Maudie Gay Thomas born to H. W. and Lucretia Thomas on Apr 3 1888. Father's occupation is listed as farmer. The records also show a Rosa Alice Thomas born to K. W. (sic) Thomas and Lucretia Britton Thomas on Apr 16 1888. Father was 40 years old, born in Monongalia County, and his occupation was carpenter. Mother's age was 30, and she was listed as born in Doddridge County. As no subsequent mention of the second child has been found, it is assumed to have been a clerical error. 1880 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Central District), enumerated on Jun 15 1880: Wesly H. Thomas, 31, carpenter; wife Lucritia, 22; dau Zoe Lilian, 6; son Leeman F, 4; dau Stella Blanch, 1. | Family: Hezekiah Wesley "Wes" THOMAS / Lucretia BRITTON (F2207)
|
| 13939 | Doddridge County birth records clearly show that Jeriel Sutton and Tacy Jane Davis had two daughters named Brida. No further record of the first child has been found. 1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia): G Sutton, 25, farmer; T J (female), 21; P (male) (sic), 3 months. 1900 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (New Milton District): Tacy J. Sutton, 61, b. Feb 1839, widowed, mother of 4 children (all still living); son Tolbert, 32, b. Feb 1868, single; son Cazemba A, 26, b. Apr 1874, single; son Vanstine, 24, b. Jun 1875; son Ellsworth, 16, b. Jan 1884, single; grand-dau Etta L, 5, b. Oct 1894. | Family: Jeriel D. SUTTON / Tacy Jane DAVIS (F11686)
|
| 13940 | Doddridge County birth records indicate a birth date of May 9 1875 for Hettie Richards and Hattie Richards, twin daughters of Evan & Ellen Richards. Informant for the births was George Clice, relationship "No Kin." But Hettie's Social Securtiy Death Index shows her birth date as April 10 1875, as does her headstone and death record, and the 1900 Census also states it as April 1875. The death record of her twin sister also indicates a birth date of April 10 1875. The discrepancies are probably the result of clerical errors, since the birth records are typewritten ledger entries transcibed from original handwritten records. It is also possible that they are the result of incorrect reporting by the informant. | RICHARDS, Hettie (I96177)
|
| 13941 | Doddridge County birth records show a son, R. S. Tate, born to S. T. & C. J. Tate, on Nov 21 1876. The 1880 Census of the family of Samuel T. & Columbia J. Tate included a son Richard S. Tate, age 3. All subsequent records, including census records, draft registration and his headston, have his name as Homer Tate, with the same Nov 21 1876 birth date. | TATE, Homer (I83954)
|
| 13942 | Doddridge County birth records show her birth as Jun 29 1892 at Holbrook, which is just inside Ritchie County but is considered by many to be in Doddridge County and sometimes reported that way. This would explain why the birth record was filed in Doddridge County. SSDI also has birth date as Jun 29. But obituary states birth as Jun 19 1892 in Ritchie Co, and her headstone also has birth date as Jun 19 1892. Birth date in 1900 Census is Jun 1891. | LEESON, Florence Edna (I489)
|
| 13943 | Doddridge County birth records show that H. E. Beck, white male, was born on Feb 3 1885 [sic], son of Stephen B. & S. M. Beck. This is a typed transcription of the original handwritten record and is inconsistent with Harvie E. Beck's Feb 1886 birth date (age 14) in the 1900 Census, and with his parents' May 1885 marriage date. It is likely that the transcribed birth record is in error and that the actual birth date was Feb 3 1886. | BECK, Harvey E. (I106730)

|
| 13946 | Doddridge County Death Records indicate that three slaves of James A. Foley's died in West Union in September 1855. They were a 47-year-old female and her one-day-old son, and a three-year-old boy. They were all listed as black slaves. Name of the infant was not given, while the other names were illegible. Cause of death for all was given as "Want of Bread." http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=5046319&Type=Death The 1860 Federal Census Slave Schedule for Doddridge County, enumerated on Jun 1 1860, contains the following entry: Slave owner: Jas. A. Foley Description of slaves: 1 black female, age 25 1 black female, age 4 BURNING OF THE TOWN OF WEST UNION. On the night of March 27th, 1858, the fire fiend once more visited West Union, and this time laid the town in ashes. At the time many of the citizens were absent at Clarksburg, attending the United States court, then in session in that city. The fire originated in an upper room of the residence of L.R. Charter. A brisk gale was blowing and the flames spread rapidly to other buildings, the first being the large hotel and store room belonging to James A. Foley. Then followed the residence of Ethelbert Bond and the storehouse of Arthur Ingram. Many other buildings shared the same fate, and the next morning, what the evening before had been the town of West Union, was but a mass of smoldering ruins. But just at the time the Parkersburg and Grafton branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway was completed, and the town, phoenix-like, arose from its own ashes, and in a short time no traces of the holocaust remained behind. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wvpioneers/doddridgecountyhistory.html Hardestys 1883 History of Doddridge County | FOLEY, James Arthur (I28951)

| 13947 | Doddridge County death records reflect a death date of Mar 29 1879, with age given as 17. But headstone reads Mar 2 1889, with age at death of 16y 5m 11d. | GASTON, Samuel J. (I1395)
|
| 13948 | Doddridge County Death Records, Bk 1, p. 42, show a Lucy Gaston, married, age 25y 2m 12d, died Apr 29 1891 at Holbrook, burial at Holbrook. The stated age at death would put birth at Feb 17 1866. The record contains no other information. No other death record for any Lucy Gaston was found in Doddridge Co. Despite the variances in dates, this is almost certainly the same Lucy May Swiger Gaston. Holbrook is located just over the county line in Ritchie Co, about 3 miles from the Gaston-Hart Cemetery. | SWIGER, Lucy May (I284)
|
| 13949 | Doddridge County marriage record 18-10 gives birth on Jul 5 1920 in Blandville, Doddridge Co. Doddridge Co death record 7-228 gives birth on Jul 5 1920 at Arnolds Creek, Doddridge Co. And Doddridge Co birth record 4-137 gives birth on Jul 3 1920 at Blandville. | PERINE, Charley Luther (I14086)
|
| 13950 | Doddridge County marriage records contain the following entry: Wesley Sigler, 63, b. Allegany Co, Maryland, res. Doddridge Co; and Mrs. Margaret Greathouse, 61, b. & res. in Doddridge County. Married March 13, 1895 "at the residence of Mr. Bottoms, Arnolds Creek," officiated by N. E. Duckworth, a minister of the Gospel. However, all the entries made by the minister documenting the date and location of the marriage were later lined through. Consequently, on the basis of the marriage record alone, it is unclear whether this couple were actually married. When Margaret died 3-1/2 years later, she was identified in her death record as Margaret Greathouse. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=11792779&Type=Marriage | SIGLER, Wesley (I36253)
