| 21956 | Records of the Doddridge County Overseer of the Poor, July 1848, now on file at the West Virginia State Archive, contain the following four entries, all pertaining to Mary Maury Tucker: "William J.Davis for conveying corpse of Mary Tucker deceased to place of interment $1.50" "Joseph Cheuvront for coffin for same $4.00" "William F. Lewin for burying clothes for same $3.43" "Dr. E. [Ethelbert] Bond for Doctoring same $20.00" | MAURY, Mary (I87232)
|
| 21957 | Records of the U.S. National Homes for Volunteer Soldiers show that Perry J. Ingle enlisted as a Private in Clarksburg W.Va. Sep 1916 (headstone application states Jun 29 1916), and that he was discharged at Camp Dix, New Jersey, on Aug 6 1919 (headstone application states Aug 5 1919). He was first admitted to the Home in Dayton, Ohio, on Dec 12 1930, with his disability listed as myocarditis, and was dischared on Jul 8 1931. His next of kin was listed as Henry P. Ingle, West Union, W.Va. Two subseqent stays at the home were from Sep 30 1931 to May 13 1932, and from Dec 15 1932 to Jun 12 1933. There was at least one subsequent admission, since Perry J. Ingle was shown as a resident of the Veterans Administration facilty in Dayton in the 1940 Census and again in his World War II draft registration in 1942. | INGLE, Perry Jacob (I97342)
|
| 21958 | Records on file at the Doddridge County Court House show that on March 17, 1896, Nancy Wise's son Leroy Leeson was appointed Administrator of the estate of "Nancy Wise, deceased." Administrator's Bond was posted by Leroy Leeson and Leonidas Leeson in the amount of two hundred dollars. Although the document's year at first glance appears to be 1876, closer examination reveals that the ink skipped in the formation of the upper part of the "9" and that the year is indeed 1896. The preceding and following pages in the bound volume of Administrator's Bonds are also for March 5 1896 and April 11 1896, respectively. Reports of Nancy Wise's death on Aug 25 1880, based on a headstone for Nancy Leeson at Cabin Run Cemetery, are incorrect. That is the headstone of Nancy Leeson, age 79, unmarried sister of William D. Leeson. | WISE, Nancy (I9679)

On 28 Nov 1864, he deserted his Confederate unit and turned himself in to Union forces in or near Mineral County. On 29 Nov 1864, he took an oath of allegiance to the United States and was released. | WILT, Peter (I133477)
|
| 21961 | Records show that Riley G. Davis enlisted in Company A, 14th W.Va. Infantry, in West Union on Aug 14 1862. He mustered in on active duty at Wheeling on Aug 23 1862. In October 1862, he was home sick on furlough in Doddridge County. On April 25 1863, he was shot in the abdomen at the Battle of Greenland Gap. The bullet penetrated his bowels, and he died of wounds the next day. | DAVIS, Riley George (I50149)
|
| 21962 | Records show that Sarah West was married, but her headstone gives her maiden name. There may have been a divorce and she took back the name of West. Some sources (e.g., Donnelly, p. 411) state that she was not married at all. | Family: Christopher BROHERD / Sarah "Sally" WEST (F1757)

|
| 21967 | Regarding the origin of the naming of the town of West Union, West Virginia, the following account has long been reported, but has been refuted by further research: "West Union, the county seat, was incorporated by the Virginia General Assembly on March 14, 1850 and by the West Virginia legislature in 1881. It is said that the town's name was suggested by Nathan Davis. At that time, the town was located just across Middle Island Creek near Lewisport, a small settlement of about six families. At the time, Lewisport was attempting to change its name to Union. Nathan Davis then suggested that their town, located just west of Union, be called West Union." http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/doddridge/82004316.pdf But Lewisport and West Union were actually two separate towns that existed simultaneously on opposite sides of the Middle Island Creek. http://www.doddridgecountyheritageguild.com/incorporation-of-west-union | DAVIS, Nathan Jr. (I42793)
|
| 21968 | Regarding Thomas S. Neely, Ned Jones' 1901 "The History of Smithburg" states: "Uncle Tommy Neely, as he was called, had no children of his own, but always had two or three of somebody else's and must have raised seven at least, but I do not know what became of them excepting one case, that being the wife of John Boyce." The 1830 Census of Harrison Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), showed that Thomas S. Neely had one female slave, age 10-23. 1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Aug 6 1850: Thomas Neely, 53, farmer, value of real estate $2,400; Elizabeth Neely, 50; Jain Caton, 19; Thomas Shannon, 22, laborer; John Shannon, 19, laborer; Jeremiah S. Miller, 12; Daniel Limer, 3. All born in Virginia except for Elizabeth, born in New Jersey. NOTE: John Robert Shannon (1830-1916) was a son of Gamble Shannon & Content Davis. Relationship to Thomas Shannon is not known. Identities of the other household members have not been determined. The 1850 Federal Census Slave Schedule for Doddridge County, enumerated on Jul 16 1850, contains the following entry: Slave owner: Thomas Neely Description of slaves: 1 mulatto female, age 20 1 black male, 12 1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jun 2 1860: Thomas S.

|
| 21973 | Rendered an invalid when thrown from a horse as a young woman, Minnie Kendall Lowther was called upon by the editor to become a columnist for a Ritchie County newspaper. The popularity of her treatment of local history led to the writing of "The History of Ritchie County," published in Feb 1911. In about 1920, she went to Washington DC and was a reporter for several West Virginia newspapers. She used the pen name "Evangeline" in her work. Intended as a sequel to her first book, an incomplete manuscript that she worked on until her death was later completed by Barr Wilson and other Ritchie County historians and published by the Ritchie County Historical Society in 1990 as "Ritchie County in History and Romance." Genealogists and all students of local Ritchie County history owe Minnie Kendall Lowther and those who followed her an immense debt of gratitude. https://vpm.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/c1f0267f-4474-4da2-b371-4a718b06777c/this-week-in-wv-history-sept-18/ | LOWTHER, Minnie Kendall (I38502)

|
| 21978 | Reports of (Samuel) Lemon Dotson being buried in the Buck Run (Dotson) Cemetery near Pennsboro (Co Rd 74/9) in Ritchie County are incorrect. Although his first wife Dorcas Ellen Ferrebee is buried there, he is not. Rather, he is buried in the Underwood Cemetery near Ashley in Doddridge County, as is his second wife, Rachel Underwood. While Lemon Dotson's name is clearly engraved on the top of the beveled monument, Rachel's name is faintly engraved on one of its sides. | DOTSON, Lemon (I56104)
|
| 21979 | Reports of death date in 1948 are incorrect. Death record and headstone clearly show 1918. | HUSK, Leander Wilson (I801)
|
| 21980 | Reports of death date of Mar 1 1938 are incorrect. Death record shows date as Mar 22 1933, and date on headstone is also 1933. | SQUIRES, Virgil B. (I1688)

| 21981 | Reports of Robert Lowther's birthplace being in England are considered incorrect. | LOWTHER, Robert (I32427)
|
| 21982 | Reports of this James S. Smith's death as occurring on Feb 25 1900 in Doddridge County are considered incorrect. The record of that death pertains to a 9-day-old infant who died of croup, buried at Smithton, parents not identified. | VINCENT, James S. (I10477)
|
| 21983 | Reports of two additonal children for this family, Caroline and Asby S, are incorrect.

(Note: In this census, Deborah's widowed daughter-in-law Caroline and grandson Asby are found living in Harrison County with Deborah's parents John & Elizabeth (Morris) Gaston.) The 1910 Census of Ritchie County, listing Deborah Bartlette (sic) as a widow in the household of son Martin, indicates that she was the mother of 10 children, 8 of whom were still living at the time of the census. | Family: Asby Poole LAW / Deborah GASTON (F448)
|
| 21984 | Reports of William A. Lawrence and his wife Rebecca being buried at Stanley (Antioch) Cemetery are incorrect and were based on a misreporting of the 1933 WPA cemetery readings of Doddridge County. | LAWRENCE, William A. (I52709)
|
| 21985 | Reports that James R.McGee and wife Mary Jane Britton divorced and that he remarried widow Nancy (Westfall) Bush are incorrect. We have found no record of him after the 1880 Census. In the 1900 Census, and again in 1910 and in her 1918 death record, his wife's marital status was widowed. | MCGEE, James R. (I128582)

|
| 21990 | Researchers differ on the sequence of Owen A. West's three wives. The dates of his marriages to Eva Palmer and Ellen Watton are verified through marriage records. His marital status at the time of his 1894 marriage to Eva Palmer was listed as single, and at his 1900 marriage to Ellen Watton as widowed. Census records of 1920 and 1930 show him with his wife Mary. 1900 Census, Marion Co, WV (Paw Paw District), enumerated on Jun 25 1900: Owen West, 28, b. May 1872, miner, married under 1 yr; wife Icy, 19, b. May 1881, no children. (Note: The adjoining household was the family of Thomas and Rebecca Watton, parents of Owen West's wife.) The two children of Owen West and Eva Palmer have not been found in the 1900 Census. In the 1910 Census, they were living in a foster home in Pennsylvania. 1910 Census, Washington Co, PA (Donegal Twp), enumerated on Apr 30 1910: William A. Bonar, 55, b.

|
| 21995 | Resided at Lynch's Creek, Lancaster County, SC. Lived previously in Pennsylvania after his emigration to America. Some of his descendants moved to Illinois. Performed patriotic service during the Revolutionary War by supplying beef and a horse for the American cause. Regarding the children of Robert and Margaret Gaston, Burgess' "The Gaston Genealogy," p. 87, makes no mention of Stephen, and provides Thomas only as an unconfirmed possibility. But other sources, particularly Mary Gaston Gee, provide strong confirmation of Thomas Gaston and also include Stephen. Hanna, without identifying a wife, lists only six children for this Robert Gaston, making no mention of either Thomas or Stephen. | GASTON, Robert (I3318)
|
| 21996 | Resided at Pleasant Hill. | EVANS, Sarah Ellen Elizabeth (I31294)
|

He bequeathed his estate by will dated 9/26/1683 "to his children" but did not name them. But Thomas and Jasper were the two sons, as they subsequently conveyed the same property to another in 1696. | SMITH, John (I6066)
