| 20251 | Minnie Kendall Lowther (HRC, p. 603) reports his death as 1865 near Weston in Lewis County, but more official sources state Feb 13 1862 in West Union, Doddridge County. The death date on his now-weathered grave marker also appears to be Feb 13 1862. His will, dated July 8 1860, was submitted for probate at the February 1862 term of the Doddridge County Court. | MAXWELL, Lewis (I34201)
|
| 20252 | Minnie Kendall Lowther (p. 316) reports marriage date as Nov 3 1864. | Family: John J. "Jasper" WARD / Martha A. BOND (F3343)
|
| 20253 | Minnie Kendall Lowther (RCHR, p. 279) states his birthplace as near Fetterman, in present-day Taylor County WV. But son John Nelson Bee's death record states father's birthplace as New Jersey. | BEE, Ezekiel (I29522)
|
| 20254 | Minnie Kendall Lowther describes John Young as "a Scotchman," but marrige record indicates he was born in Virginia. | YOUNG, John R. (I43358)
|
| 20255 | Minnie Kendall Lowther erroneously reports death as 1886, and birth date as 1799. (HRC, 596) | WILLIS, Robert (I10451)
|
| 20256 | Minnie Kendall Lowther in "Ritchie County in History & Romance," p. 270, reports marriage date as Aug 29 1808, but "Harrison County WV Marriage 1785-1894," p. 26, shows it as Aug 29 1809, in chronological sequence with other marriages. Note, however, that their oldest child, William, was born on Feb 14 1809 according to age at death on his headstone. | Family: William Beamer LOWTHER / Margaret COBURN (F12556)
|
| 20257 | Minnie Kendall Lowther reports birth date as 1825. | WILSON, Lucy Ann (I6329)
|
| 20258 | Minnie Kendall Lowther reports death date as Aug 5 1894 in both of her books, but "Ritchie County Cemeteries" reports headstone date as Aug 6 1894. | BROADWATER, Thomas Jefferson (I47682)
|
| 20259 | Minnie Kendall Lowther reports death date of Emza Neal Lowther as 1906 in "History of Ritchie County" (p. 258), but as Oct 27 1904 in "Ritchie County in History and Romance" (p. 276). "Ritchie County Cemeteries" (p. 622) reports death date as Oct 27 1904. | NEAL, Emza M. (I28974)
|
| 20260 | Minnie Kendall Lowther reports marriage date as 1796. Marriage Bond, dated Aug 16 1798, states "Daniel Cain gives his concent through his son, Jesse Cain, that his daughter Mary Cain may marry David Cain." They were first cousins, he being the son of John Cain & Charity Booth and she being the daughter of Daniel Cain and Susannah Custer. | Family: David CAIN / Mary CAIN (F41046)
|
| 20261 | Minnie Kendall Lowther spells name "Susana," as does 1860 Census, and marriage record states "Susanah," but 1910 Census and son's obituary have it "Susanna." | ADAMS, Susanna (I17887)
|
| 20262 | Minnie Kendall Lowther states his birth as 1798 near Fetterman, in present-day Taylor County WV. But "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 57, reports it as Aug 7 1798, probably in Gloucester County, NJ. | BEE, Asa II (I29564)
|
| 20263 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, "History of Ritchie County," p. 332, reports death date as Dec 19 1876 and birth date as Jul 20 1800. But "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries," p. 486, reports headstone death date as Dec 9 1876, with age at death 76y 4m 20d, which would calculate to a birth date of Jul 19 1800. | COX, Philip (I44675)
|
| 20264 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, "Ritchie County in History & Romance," p. 298, reports birth/death dates as 1875-1878. But "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries," reports headstone reading as Jun 23 1878 - Mar 3 1921. Basis for discrepancy is unclear. | COX, Ezra Ira (I44718)
|
| 20265 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, apparently incorrectly, states on p. 316 that Anna V. Ward, a daughter of Martin Carr Ward and Mary Jane Gaston, was born on Dec 2 1845 and that she married M. B. Zinn of Holbrook on July 27 1865. M. B. Zinn was a son of Quilla Manley Zinn and Lucy Ann Wilson. But Ritchie County marriage records show that on that date, July 27 1865, Ann M. Ward, age 20, daughter of Martin C. & Mary J. Ward, married William B. Zinn, age 23, born in Lewis Co, son of John W. & Eliza Zinn. Furthermore, a headstone for Luetta Zinn at the Oxford Baptist Church Cemetery identifies her as the daughter of W. B. & A. M. Zinn. But Ritchie County death records show that Anna Ward Zinn, dau of Martin and Betty Gaston Ward, died on Feb 27 1934 at age 88y2m25d. | WARD, Anna M. (I9298)
|
| 20266 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, HRC, p. 602, reports death date as 1893. But Morris Purdy Shawkey's publication twice states that Edwin Maxwell's death occurred on Feb 5 1903 in Charleston during the regular session of the WV state legislature, to which he was a delegate. | MAXWELL, Edwin (I34291)
|
| 20267 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "History of Ritchie County," p. 10, states that Robert Lowther, Jr. and Eliza Highland were the parents of three sons and two daughters, names not given. Research has found that they had at least four sons and five daughters. 1850 Census, Harrison Co, Virginia (now West Virginia): Robert J. Lowther, 48; Eliza Lowther, 47; John, 24; Dexter, 23; Luther, 17; Telitha, 19; Kitty, 14; Catherine Lowther, 83. 1860 Census, Harrison Co, Virginia (now West Virginia): Robert J. Lowther, 57, farmer; Eliza A, 56; Tillithia, 26; Catharine, 22; John J. Miller, 1 yr 1 mo. | Family: Robert J. LOWTHER / Eliza Ann HIGHLAND (F12559)
|
| 20268 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "History of Ritchie County," p. 11, states that Evan Lowther was the only child of John C. & Elizabeth Pritchard Lowther. Perhaps she intended to say "only son," because research has found that he did have several siblings, all sisters. | LOWTHER, Evan F. (I32333)
|
| 20269 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "History of Ritchie County," p. 335, and in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 300, identifies the wife of John Leggett II as Mary Price, and the 1879 census entry also identifies her as Mary. But "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993," p. 661, identifies her as Nancy Price. | PRICE, Mary (I13447)
|
| 20270 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 249, indicates that Elias Lowther and Rebecca Coburn were married in about 1797, which would conform to the birth dates of their older children. But "Harrison County WV Marriages 1785-1894," p. 17, shows their marriage date as May 3 1804 in chronological sequence with other marriages. | Family: Major Elias LOWTHER / Rebecca COBURN (F11106)
|
| 20271 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 295, reports that Nancy Hickman Cain died in Newark, Wirt County, on Jan 27 1879 after six years of blindness. But the death date on her headstone is Jan 9 1880, age 96. | HICKMAN, Nancy (I94958)
|
| 20272 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 298, reports that Mary Anne Bane married William Stull. But we have found no record of that marriage. | Family: John Wesley CONAWAY / Mary Ann Delilah BAYNE (F18104)
|
| 20273 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 317, gives marriage date as Jan 2 1883. But this is contradicted by marriage record. | Family: Eusebius L. "Sebe" BEE / Rebecca Jane HOFF (F3357)
|
| 20274 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, p. 309, reports birth date as 1848. But age 19 given at time of Nov 1871 marriage would put birth at about 1852, headstone reads 1852, and death record specifies Feb 6 1852. | SOMMERVILLE, Nancy Rhuhama (I21597)
|
| 20275 | Minnie Kendall Lowther, RCHR, p. 436, gives death date as 1860. | PRUNTY, Jacob (I38478)
|
| 20276 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 320, provides date of Jul 13 1817, while "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 500, states Jul 31 1817. | AMOS, Henry H. (I28363)
|
| 20277 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 334, reports death date as 1886 near Oxford, while her "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 300, reports it as 1888. But the Ritchie County Historical Society's "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries Through 1993" reports the headstone reading as Apr 3 1883. | LEGGETT, Enoch B. (I4298)
|
| 20278 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 335, states that Mary Arnett Glasscock lived to the age of 105. But this is contradicted by her great-grandson's SAR application and other sources. | ARNETT, Mary "Polly" (I40704)
|
| 20279 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 596, states that Margaret Willis "became Mrs. Gus Greathouse and died in Doddridge county at the age of eighty years." Margaret's death record shows her age as 96 at the time of her death on Dec 29 1898, putting her birth in about 1802. Headstone dates appear to be Nov 4 1815 - Dec 30 1896. But age 31 in 1850 Census would put birth at ca 1819, while age 55 in 1870 Census and age 65 in 1880 Census would put birth at ca 1815, which also coincides with the birth date on her headstone. 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 | WILLIS, Margaret (I22573)
|
| 20280 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 602, states that Abner M. Maxwell married Lydia Jane Osbourne in 1862, and that they were the parents of, among others, Levi Maxwell and Porter Maxwell. But Doddridge County death records show the parents of Levi Maxwell, who died Oct 3 1929, as Abner Maxwell & Lydia Jane Woofter; and Harrison Co death records show the parents of Porter Maxwell, who died Dec 6 1934, as Abner Maxwell & Jane Woofter. 1870 Census, Doddridge County WV (New Milton Township), enumerated on Aug 5 1870: Abner M. Maxwell, 35, farmer; Lidia J, 27; Porter, 6; Mary F, 4; Levi, 3; Judah (middle initial A ?), 1. 1880 Census, Doddridge County WV (New Milton District), enumerated on Jun 29 1880: Abner Maxwell, 45; farmer; wife Jane, 37; son Porter, 16; dau Frances, 14; son Levi, 12; dau Juline A (?), 11; dau Ella J, 9; dau Rebecca B, 7; son James, 3. (Note: The next enumerated household was that of Abner's brother James.) 1900 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (New Milton District): Abner M. Maxwell, 65, b. Oct 1834, married 38 yrs; wife Lyda J, 57, b. Aug 1842, mother of 8 children (7 still living); son James A, 22, b. Jun 1877; son William B, 18, b. Jul 1881. | Family: Abner M. MAXWELL / Lydia Jane P. WOOFTER (F12611)
|
| 20281 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 271, contains the following entry regarding the family of Napoleon B. Lowther: "NAPOLEON B. LOWTHER, 1815-1906, was married to Miss Mary Jane Ireland, 1828-1906, who rests by his side in the Pullman Churchyard. They, too, had a large family of children: Agnes, the eldest daughter, ws the late wife of E.N. Summers, of Pullman; Mandane, Mrs. J. W. Grimm, of Kansas; Margaret, Mrs. James Howard; Helen, Mrs. Samuel Fordyce; Newton Lowther, and William Lowther, all of the West; Arminius Lowther, of Braxton County; and Wesley Lowther, who died unmarried." No record of the birth or death of Wesley Lowther has been found. Though speculative, there is circumstantial evidence that Wesley Lowther and William W. Lowther are the same person, and that William was adopted by his father's first cousin Jonathan C. Lowther. When William registered to vote in California, he gave his full name as William Wesley Lowther. There is no birth record for William. His 1940 California death record gives his birth date as Nov 15 1854 (the 1900 Census states Oct 1854), conflicting with the verified Aug 1854 birth date of his brother Newton. An enumeration of this family in the 1850 Census has not been found. 1860 Census, Tyler Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jul 21 1860: Napoleon Lowther, 45, farmer, value of real estate $800, value of personal estate $75; Mary J, 30; Armenius, 13; Wesley, 10; Newton, 8; Maria A, 5; Margaret, 1. 1870 Census, Tyler Co, WV (Centerville District), enumerated on Jul 30 1870: Napoleon Lowther, 50, boot maker, value of real estate $1,500, value of personal estate 130; Jane, 42; Americus, 21; Wesley, 17; Newton, 15; Agnes, 13; Ann, 11; Hellen, 9; Mandan, 7; Edward, 1. 1880 Census, Tyler Co, WV (Centerville District), enumerated on Jun 17 1880: Napoleon Lowther, 64, shoemaker; wife Mary J, 52; dau Maggie, 21; dau Mary, 18; dau Mandane, 16; son William, 11. NOTE 1: The son identified as William very likely should have been entered as Edward, the child so identified in the 1870 Census. No other record of this Edward Lowther has been found. NOTE 2: In 1880, son William Wesley Lowther was enumerated in the household of Jonathan C. Lowther and his wife Emza M. Neal. His relationship was indicated as cousin (technically, first cousin once removed), although Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 258, states that "William Lowther, of California, is an adopted son" of Jonathan C. Lowther. William Lowther's Californica voter's registration gave his full name as William Wesley Lowther, and his 1940 California death record lists his mother's maiden name as "Nail." In the 1900 Census, Napoleon was enumerated in the household of his daughter Agnes Summers and her family. His marital status was married, but his wife was not present. She died in 1906. | Family: Napoleon B. LOWTHER / Mary Jane IRELAND (F17535)
|
| 20282 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 276, reports Stephen C. Davis' burial location only as Clay County. But Findagrave reports it as Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Wallback, Roane County. There is no photo. According to Wikipedia, "Wallback is an unincorporated community in Clay and Roane counties, West Virginia, United States. Wallback is located at the junction of Interstate 79 and West Virginia Route 36, 7.5 miles (12.1 km) north-northwest of Clay. Wallback has a post office with ZIP code 25285." The US Geological Survey's GNIS also reports that Wallback is in both Clay and Roane counties. Other mapping services consider Wallback to be in Roane County, while the community's post office is reported as being in Clay County. Findagrave reports that "Pleasant Hill Cemetery is in Roane County, very near the border with Clay County.... The community of Wallback, however, is in Clay County." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallback,_West_Virginia https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:3:::NO::P3_FID:1555908 https://www.zipinfo.com/cgi-local/zipsrch.exe?cnty=cnty&ac=ac&tz=tz&ll=ll&pop=pop&zip=wallback%2C+wv&Go=Go https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/956803/pleasant-hill-cemetery | DAVIS, Stephen C. (I33675)
|
| 20283 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 298, and "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993," p. 596, incorrectly report unmarked graves for Thomas William Bayne and wife Maria Louisa Cox at Mt. Pisgah Cemetery, near Pullman (Co Rds 9 & 7/4), in Ritchie County. "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 504, also reports burial and headstone for Thomas W. Bayne at the Cox Cemetery at Slab Creek, but nothing there for his wife. Discovery of headstones for them have confirmed that they are both buried at the Cox Cemetery at Slab Creek. | BAYNE, Thomas William "T.W." (I40723)
|
| 20284 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 299, reports death place as Ohio, but does not indicate a death date. Findagrave reports death at Washburn, Ritchie County, on Dec 31 1910. We have found no death record for her. | COX, Cora Blanche "Carrie" (I44762)
|
| 20285 | Minnie Kendall Lowther's 1911 "History of Ritchie County," p. 258, contains the following entry regarding the family of Jonathan Coburn Lowther: "JONATHAN C. LOWTHER was another pioneer on this stream [Otterslide]. And though he is now a nonegenarian, he is still a familiar figure here. He is the son of Elias Lowther and the only surviving grandson of Col. William Lowther. He married Miss Emza Neal, sister of M. A. Neal, of Pullman, and since her death in 1906 [sic, should be 1904], he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. William Jett. He is the father of one other daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Bee, of Rutherford; and William Lowther, of California, is an adopted son." 1860 Census, Ritchie Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Aug 15 1860: Jonathan C. Lowther, 41, farmer, value of real estate $1.200, value of personal estate $1,206; Emzy M, 36; Saphrona, 15; Catharine R, 9; Wm. W. Ringer, 5. NOTE: No other record of this William W. Ringer has been found. But the possibility cannot be discounted that he is the aforemention adopted son and the William W. Lowther appearing with this family in 1870 and 1880. 1870 Census, Ritchie Co, WV (Union Twp), enumerated in June 1870: J. C. Lowther, 51, farmer; Emsy M, 45; Catharine R, 19; William W, 15; Mary, 77, occupation "Retired Keeping House." No relationships given in this census, but Mary would appear to be the first cousin of Jonathan Coburn Lowther. 1880 Census, Ritchie Co, WV (Union Dist), enumerated on Jun 22 1880: Johnathan C. Lowther, 61, farmer; wife Emsy M. Lowther, 55; cousin William Lowther, 24, farmer; son-in-law Charles W. Bee, 31, farmer; dau Rebecca Bee, 29; grandson Elton Bee, 1; granddau (not named), age one month, b. May 1880. NOTE: William Wesley Lowther was a son of Napoleon B. Lowther and Mary Jane Ireland. Although his relationship was indicated here as cousin (technically, first cousin once removed), Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 258, states that "William Lowther, of California, is an adopted son" of Jonathan C. Lowther. William Lowther's California death record lists his mother's maiden name as "Nail." 1900 Census, Ritchie Co, WV (Union District), enumerated on Jun 1/2 1900: Jonathan (corrected from Johnathan) C. Lowther, 81, b. Mar 1819, farmer, married 66 yrs; wife Emzy M, 75, b. Jun 1824, married 66 yrs, mother of 2 children (both still living). NOTE: This census supports Minnie Kendall Lowther's contention that Emza Neal Lowther had just the two biological children and that William Lowther was an adopted (or possibly foster) son. It appears that William Wesley Lowther was most likely a biological son of Napoleon B. Lowther and Mary Jane Ireland. From Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County" (1911) regarding Jonathan C. Lowther: "He is now (1910) ninety-one years of age, and is as active as a boy, being able to jump up and crack his heels together. He enjoys the distinction of being the only surviving grandson of Col. Lowther." | Family: Jonathan Coburn LOWTHER / Emza M. NEAL (F11029)
|
| 20286 | Minute Books on file at the Doddridge County Courthouse contain the following entry for the October 1847 term: "Elizabeth Miller of this County having died intestate more than three months ago and no person having applied for administration of her goods and chattel, it is ordered that William F. Randolph, Sheriff of Doddridge County, take the estate of the said Elizabeth Miller, deceased, into his possession and administer the same according to law." | DOUGLASS, Elizabeth (I50802)

| 20294 | Mona Lee Gum Morgan was very active in community affairs until the age of 80 when her health wouldn't allow it any longer. She was the leader of the Big Isaac Clovers 4-H Club for 37 years. She was a former Doddridge County Leader of the Year, a member of the Doddridge County 4-H Leaders Association and attained the highest award of 4-H All Stars. She worked countless hours on projects, including but not limited to dinners, to insure that any child who wanted to attend 4-H Camp had the resources to do so. She was the 2006 recipient of The Exponent Telegram Cecil B. Highland Jr. Citizen of the Year Award having been nominated by Alice Proper. Proper called Mona a "community mother". She served on the Doddridge County Park Board for 28 years, replacing her husband who had served and been instrumental in the purchase of the land for the Park. She was very proud of the Park and the role she played in improvements throughout the years. She also served on the Republican Executive Committee for 28 years. She worked diligently on preparing the potato salad and fixings for the Annual Ox Roast. Mona Lee was known throughout the county as an excellent cook. She also had real talent for quilting, sewing and embroidery. She was a member of the Quilting Circle at the Big Isaac UM Church. She took a lot of pride in her handiwork and enjoyed teaching the younger ladies how it was done. She embroidered countless sets of pillow cases, which she gave as gifts. She pieced and made quilts for each of her children and grandchildren. She organized the Adopt-A-Highway program for the Big Isaac Clovers 4-H Club and the Big Isaac United Methodist Church for many years. | GUM, Mona Lee (I17685)
|
| 20295 | Monna Lynch has two birth records on file in Doddridge County. The original record lists her only as an unnamed female with surname Webb, born 24 Feb 1897 at Avon, mother Jettie Webb, father "not given." Jettie Webb and Ernest V. Lynch married later that year. In November 1951, a delayed entry birth record was submitted by her mother, in which the child was identified as Monna Garretta Lynch and her father was listed as Ernest Victor Lynch. But the last two digits of her birth year were transposed, with the birth date incorrectly entered as 24 Feb 1879. Social Security records show her birth as 24 Feb 1897 at Avon, daughter of Ernest V. Lynch & Jettie S. Webb. | LYNCH, Monna Gretta (I56962)
