| 20303 | Morris Samuel Gaston and Hattie Adams had no children of their own, but raised from infancy Lenora Squires after the death of her mother Lenora Bird Adams Squires, who was Morris Samuel Gaston's first cousin once removed. The 1930 Census of Doddridge County, Southwest District, shows Lenore Squires, age 12, as a "lodger" in the household of Morris S. Gaston and his wife Hattie, while the 1920 Census there shows Leonore Squires, age 2 yrs 2 mo, as a "2nd cousin." | Family: Morris Samuel GASTON / Hattie Idell ADAMS (F485)

| 20305 | Moses (or Moyses) Cleveland (or Cleaveland), the common ancestor of all the Clevelands or Cleavelands of New England origin, came as a youth from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England. According to family tradition, he sailed from London and arrived in America in the year 1635. He first landed in Massachusetts, probably either at Plymouth or Boston, only 15 years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. There is evidence to suggest that the young Moses was at that time an apprentice to a ship's carpenter, working for his passage over. It is believed that he came from Ipswich as an indentured apprentice to a joiner, housewright, or master builder, name of his master not known but conjectured to be Edward Winn, whose daughter he later married. He was known to have gone to Woburn with his master, and he did settle there in 1640-41. In 1642, he was granted a share of public land in Woburn, and in 1643 he became a freeman. A freeman was required to be of godly walk and conversation, to be at least 20 years of age, to take an oath of allegiance to the government of Massachusetts Bay Colony, to be worth 200 pounds, to hold office if elected or else pay a fine of 40 shillings, and to vote in all elections or pay the same fine. These restrictions and conditions were so onerous that many who were eligible preferred never to become freemen, being more free as they were. Over the years, Moses Cleveland became a man of some prominence in New England. | CLEVELAND, Moses (I72739)
|
| 20306 | Moses and Margaret Gaston Minear had nine children. | Family: Moses MINEAR / Margaret GASTON (F3559)
|
| 20307 | Moses Cleveland moved from Woburn, Massachusetts, probably as early as 1679-80, when his name last appears on the tax list, or he certainly left soon after Mar 31 1686, the date of son Joseph's birth. He evidently next settled at or near Edgartown, Island of Martha's (then Martin's) Vineyard, in Dukes County, Massachusetts. There he was a farmer, and very probably became a mariner like his father-in-law, Nicholas Norton. Many of his descendants have since followed the seas. Moses and Ruth (Norton) Cleveland sold land at Edgartown on Mar 8 1694, and soon moved to Southold, New York, where their son Ichabod was born the next year, and where they probably remained till their deaths. There is no record of Moses Cleveland's death, which occurred prior to Oct 30 1717, for a deed of that date executed by his son Ebenezer mentions Moses Cleveland, deceased. Moses Cleveland was a Volunteer in King Philip's War, 1675-76, accompanied by his brother Samuel. | CLEVELAND, Moses (I72735)
|
| 20308 | Most commonly known as Elizabeth. Identifed as Elizabeth in son's marriage record, but as Melissa Swisher in his death record. | SWISHER, Melissa Elizabeth (I67079)
|
| 20309 | Most of the information pertaining to John McKeown and his wife was obtained from their marriage record. The handwritten entry was barely legible, resulting in some uncertainty in the data, represented here by question marks. John McKeown was identified as a farmer, age 29 (?), born in Harrison County, VA (now West Virginia), the son of Patrick (?) and Mary McKeown. His bride was identified as Adaline E. J. Cottrill, age 21 (?), born in Harrison County, VA, the daughter of (father illegible) and Elizabeth (?) Cottrill. Since Fannie Bird McKeown's parents were clearly identified as John McKeown & Emily Cottrill and the marriage took place just nine years before Fannie's birth, it is assumed that this is the same couple and that the initial "E" was for Emily, the name by which she was apparently more commonly known. The marriage took place on May 29 (or 28 ?), 1865. Based on the foregoing, Emily was born around 1844 and John was born around 1836. Harrison County death records show a John McKown [sic], a married man who died of consumption on March 21 1881, aged 46. This would put his birth at around 1835 and makes it nearly certain that this is the same John McKeown. No record of either of their births was found in Harrison County. 1880 Census, Harrison Co, WV (Union District), enumerated on Jun 18 1880: John McKewen, 41, farmer; wife Emily A, 35; dau Mary E, 13; dau Ida A, 12; dau Laura M, 10; dau Alice V, 8; dau Emma E, 7; dau Fanny B, 5; son James C, 1. | Family: John S. MCKEOWN / Adaline Emily Jane COTTRILL (F5167)
|
| 20310 | Most of the information regarding Mary Williams and her immediate ancestors is from records of the DAR. Some researchers have reported that she was born Jun 30 1771 in Roxbury, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts, died 1838; daughter of William Williams (son of William Williams & Sarah Stevens) and Martha Williams (dau of Samuel Williams & Theoda Parke). This information has not been verified and is provided here only as a basis for further research. | WILLIAMS, Mary (I60994)
|
| 20311 | Most of the Seese family were buried on private ground in unmarked graves. Only a few have been found. One oddity is the existence of duplicate granite markers for James W. Seese, 8/14/1868 - 6/2/1955. One is in the cemetery behind the schoolhouse at Alvy, while the other is in the Watts Cemetery on McIntyre Fork. His death record indicates burial at the McIntyre Cemetery. | SEESE, James W. (I31506)

The fact that William Lewis Nutter & Susie A. Nutter were twins is from the Doddridge Co History Book, p. 216, with the same birth date for both being obtained from their respective obits. That source gives his first name as Williams, but his obit has it as William. Burial given in obit as Mount Pleasant cemetery, location not specified. | NUTTER, William Lewis (twin) (I17872)
|

As a youth, near tragedy struck when he lost his right leg and severely injured his left hip in an accident, forcing him to be hospitalized for three and one-half years. Remaining out of school for several years, he returned to school and quickly completed eighth grade and the first year of high school the same year. During the next three years, P.G. walked to a two-room schoolhouse, built a fire and swept the building before continuing on to pursue his studies in high school. The checks P.G. received for his work with the school district -- nine dollars a month -- were saved, and with twenty-seven checks in hand, he traveled to Clarksburg, where he attended the Clarksburg Business College. Mr. Hollandsworth, better known as "P.G." or "Holly," worked for over twenty-five years as office manager, secretary and sales representative for Merrells Inc. before becoming a sales representative for Josten's Inc. in Minneapolis, MN. Mr. Hollandsworth retired after forty-three years of dedicated service in business. His early days of work required many miles of travel and took him over dirt roads that were quite impassable during the winter months. At times, he had to secure a horse and wagon to get to his destination. He traveled all over West Virginia, as well as parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Through the years, P.G. was active in the Clarksburg Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon, finance chair, chair of the Clarksburg Cabin Committee for the WV Baptist Camp and was a long-standing teacher of the Peters Brotherhood Bible Class.

In 1973, Salem College honored Mr. Hollandsworth as its First Honorary Alumnus. Known for his generosity and affable nature, P.G. loved to garden and then share his harvest with family, friends and neighbors. His annual corn roasts are remembered by many who came from near and far to enjoy the feast of his harvest. His self-determination and disciplined life provided the pathway for his success. He will be remembered by many as living an amazing life. | HOLLANDSWORTH, Pearl G. (I93500)
