| 16651 | In a petition to the State Legisture in Richmond dated December 15, 1828, a number of residents of present-day Doddridge County, then Harrison County Virginia, requested that the designated location of an upcoming election be moved from the residence of Simeon Maxson to that of Nathan Davis. A transcription of the handwritten petition is as follows, with minor corrections to spelling and punctuation for ease of understanding: To the General Assembly of Virginia: We the undersigned inhabitants of Middle Island in Harrison County -- and in the District of a Separate Election to be held at the house of Simeon Maxsons by an act passed in the Legislature 1828, and the people of Middle Island being acquainted with the outlines of the District of said Separate Election -- believe that Maxsons is not near the Center. Wherefore we, your humble petitioners, do pray the Legislature will move the place for holding the Separate Election from Simeon Maxsons to Lewisport or near it, as we believe it will be much convenienter for the settlement, and as in duty bound we will ever pray. ## Capt Davis will be a convenient place. /signatures/ William ??

| 16653 | In about 1788, moved from Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, PA, settling in Smith Township, Washington County, PA. One account (Ohio Valley Genealogies) lists 7 children as: William, Mary, Jane, Eleanor (who married a Moore), James W., John, and an unnamed female who also married a Moore. Another account (The Gaston Genealogy by Jane Farrell Burgess) lists 7 children as Mary, William, Joseph, Hugh, Isabella, John, & James W. Yet another account (Anna Reger Gaston's "Gaston Family Lines of Somerset") lists only William, Mary, Jane and John. We list here a combination of the accounts. | GASTON, James (I3512)

William and Margaret Morrison Lowther were the parents of twelve children, six of whom reached maturity. Five of them married, and four of that five were the heads of pioneer families of Ritchie County. | LOWTHER, William (I29163)

Her name appears on her headstone as Millie P. Flint. A record of their marriage has not been found. Because they were the same age and had similar names (Amelia, Permelia), some researchers have experienced confusion between Ursher's two wives. 1930 Census, Harrison County, WV (Coal District), enumerated on Apr 14 1930: Usher [sic] Flint, 33, electrician in coal mine, age 21 at time of first marriage; wife Nellie, 30, age 29 at first marriage; son John, 10.

| 16678 | In an article by Louise Prosser Bates in NEHGR, Vol 63, p. 198, regarding the wife of Tobias Saunders, Mrs. Bates shows by a series of probate records that Mary, wife of Tobias Saunders, was a niece of Rev.

While there, Diss Debar happened to meet Daniel Sherwood, as described in this excerpt from Diss Debar's "Reminiscences of Doddridge County." "At the mention of land on Cove Creek, a modest mannered young man, with an honest eye, and an expansive white forehead, who before dinner had been busy at a writing table in a corner, informed me that he had some knowledge of that ancient survey and I concluded at once that he might be of service to me. Noticing that he was then engaged in drawing very good maps on rather poor paper, I climbed on top of the coach and opening a trunk, extracted from it half a dozen sheets of superior article which he accepted with grateful surprise. Such was my first meeting with esteemed old neighbor, Daniel Sherwood, one of the most clever and unassuming men and able, conscientious surveyors I ever met." https://www.doddridgecountyheritageguild.com/doddridge-county-through-the-eyes-o | SHERWOOD, Daniel (I83662)
