| 20722 | Nearly all information listed here pertaining to the descendants of Lewis Isaac Swisher and Jane Gaston, unless otherwise noted, is courtesy of the research efforts of E. Murray Taylor, Jr., of Fairmont, WV, much of which centered on an existing Swisher family genealogy and the William A. Marsh 1880 Census of Lewis County, WV. | Family: Isaac R. SWISHER / Jane GASTON (F479)
|
| 20723 | Nearly everyone in and around Doddridge County who has Boyce ancestry can likely trace their pedigree back to Robert Boyce, who was born in about 1771, possibly in Pennsylvania. He was reportedly married to Mary Elizabeth Ashcraft. In the 1810 Census, they and their four children were found in Harrison County, which may or may not have been the part of Harrison County that later became Doddridge County. Ten years later, they were still in Harrison County, but now with eight children. No record of Robert Boyce was found in any census or other public record after that. Charles S. Morgan (1799-1859) was elected to terms in the Virginia House of Delegates (1821-1824) and Virginia Senate (1824-1831) before serving a 27-year tenure as Superintendent of the Virginia Penitentiary in Richmond. Among his papers in the Charles S. Morgan Collection at the West Virginia State Archives & Library in Charleston is a ledger (catalogued as Ms 79-1, Folder 66) from the Virginia Penitentiary recording each prisoner's name, age, residence, admission date, length of sentence, crime, and date of discharge or death. This ledger was for prisoners serving a term of five or more years and admitted to the penitentiary between 1800 and 1833. One of the entries on that 186-year-old handwritten ledger solves the mystery of Robert Boyces disappearance. It states that Robert Boyce of Harrison County, age 57, entered the prison on September 11, 1828, sentenced to ten years for the crime of horse stealing. He died of "epidemic cholera" on October 1, 1832. | BOYCE, Robert (I66936)

|
| 20726 | Neither the precise name nor gender of this child of Vincent & Olive (Bonnell) Ash is entirely clear. Doddridge County birth records show a son named Berlin R. Ash born to them on March 7, 1898. There is nothing in the record to indicate that it was anything but a single live birth. It is noteworthy, however, that the birth record is an entry in a typewritten alpabetized ledger transcribed from original handwritten records. Every birth listed on that page originally indicated the gender as Male, with several of them later corrected by hand to read Female. In the 1900 Census, the family included not a son Berlin R. Ash, but a daugher Rachel B. Ash, born March 1898. A weathered headstone at Underwood Cemetery in Ashley is inscribed "Burlin R, Dau of V. & O.S. Ash, born Mar 7 1898, died Jan 12 1901." The inscription becomes readable in a photo of the chalked headstone taken by Jennifer Wilt, affiliated with this website. It appears, then, that the gender entered in the birth record was in error, and that the child was a daughter whose full name was Burlin Rachel Ash. | ASH, Burlin Rachel (I123081)

| 20729 | Never married, but left a number of illegitimate descendants, some of which were recorded in Census 1850 #82 and 1860 #811. In his will, he left 50 acres and his mansion house to Margaret Tatterson, and his personal property to Clement Tatterson. He believed himself to be the father of Clement Tatterson. Other children believed to be fathered by him with Margaret Tatterson were Sarah M, Nancy, Margaret D., Lovina, and three more daughters. | VINCENT, Clement B. (I10836)
|
| 20730 | Never married, William Porter Gaston was highly self-educated in math, English and history, and he carried a dictionary with him that he studied as he rode along on his horse. A highly religious man, he studied the Bible during much of his free time. He was missing his two front upper teeth, and the story goes that he lost them when someone dared him to sneak up to a large boar hog and bite its tail. He took the dare, and as the hog jumped, Porter lost his teeth. | GASTON, William Porter (I13690)

| 20734 | New item, "West Union Record," Friday, Nov 30 1900, in its entirety: The body of Benton Ash was brought home from Tennessee last Friday where he died of yellow fever six years ago. The body was accompanied by Undertaker Furbee, of Alma, who accompanied it all the way from Tennessee. The remains were taken over to the old home of the deceased Wm.Ash's at Ashley where they remained over night and were buried the next day with religious exercises appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. Ash and others from this place accompanied the remains to Ashley from this place. The body, which had been interred in limstone rock and was covered with water, was nicely petrified and looked quite natural, it is said.

| 20737 | News article on the front page of the "West Union Record," Thursday, September 9 1915, in its entirety: CHARLEY MCLAIN AND FAMILY LEAVE FOR NEW HOME IN OHIO Charley McLain, who recently sold his property in New Milton district, left Saturday with his family for their new home in Granville, Ohio. Mr. McLain had already taken his horses, cows and goods through by freight. They expected to make the trip through in their car, but the rain Saturday interfered, so they went on the train, and left the car here, for another trip. Mr. McLain is a good citizen and will be greatly missed in many ways, not only by his former neighbors but by the entire county. Mr. McLain was secretary of New Milton district board of education for 13 years. He has been road engineer in that district for 3 years, and has placed the roads of New Milton district in the best possible shape that they can be placed so long as they are dirt roads. Mr. McLain has been steward of the M. E. church at New Milton for 8 years, and also district steward for 4 years. Mr. McLain has been a veterinary surgeon for 21 years. He will be missed as a business man and a good citizen. He has often been urged by his party leaders to make the race for sheriff, but always declined to make the race. | MCCLAIN, Charles T. (I97216)

West, two of the happiest birds that ever lit on the shors of time, touched West Union Tuesday evening of last week to attend the Pythian blow-out. Many, many pairs of queer geniuses and quaint philosophers, gay old sports and royal good fellows, have hit this town since the days of DisDebar and 'Ephwim' Bee; but since these famous pioneers, there's nothing ever trespassed, or tarried as welcome guests, that can trim Sam and Worthy; they combine all the qualities mentioned above in the superlative degree. "For a time we couldn't solve the problem whether Sam was traveling as West's mascot or whether Worthy was traveling as Sam's mascot. ... there smiled the laughing eyes and cheery face of Samuel B --- 'pwainer than the handwitting' of Ephwim Bee. "... -- Hon. Sam B. Montgomery, the 'Silver-tongued orator of West Virginia,' and Kid West, 'the Hayseed of the Hills of Gilmer.' ..." (NOTE: Samuel B. Montgomery (1876-1924) was a West Virginia State Senator from Preston County, and later the state labor commissioner. He was a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the Moose, and other fraternal organizations.

Albert Swiger, an employe in the local B. & O. yards, was instantly killed this morning while at work by being caught between two freight cars. Swiger was in the act of coupling the cars, one of which had the coupler broken off, which left an opening which allowed the coupler of the other car to fit in, causing the bodies of the cars to come together, catching Swiger between and instantly crushing his life out. Undertaker Cunningham took the remains in charge and they are now at his establishment on Jefferson Street. The death of Mr. Swiger has caused universal regret among his many friends. He was a son of Sylvester Swiger and a nephew of J. A. Swiger, of Maple Avenue. He was twenty-four years of age. His wife, who with one child survives him, was Miss Estelle Adams, a daughter of Harvey Adams. Mr. and Mrs. Swiger resided at Barnsville on the Adams farm. Deceased was a member of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and was also an Eagle. No funeral arrangements have been made. | SWIGER, John Albert (I122195)

Mrs. McMurray, 28, whose professional name was Blossom Gay, was found dead in bed in her home in Wellington Apartment, 245 Melwood Street, Tuesday morning, by her husband, Dr. Thomas E. McMurray, Jr., 37, according to county detectives. The autopsy was performed by the coroner's physician on request of Mrs. McMurray's mother, Mrs. S. E. Sutton, of Salem, W.Va. The morgue report said death was due to acute gastro enteritis. The body was taken to Salem yesterday for burial. The attractive young singer was reported engaged to John Champ Neely, the son of former United States Senator M. M. Neely, of West Virginia, in 1936. But eight days after he announced the engagement, young Neely announced the planned marriage was off. At the time it was reported Neely's father opposed the match. Miss Gay married Robert Taylor of Pittsburgh in 1938. He died two years ago and she and Dr. McMurray were married last February.
