| 22701 | Social Security records show his birth date as Sep 11 1895. But birth record states Sep 11 1896. The 1900 Census also gives his birth date as Sep 1896. | SNIDER, Mitchell Edward (I116468)
|
| 22702 | Soldiers Home | HARDMAN, Rosa Florence (I47033)
|
| 22703 | Soldiers Home | FOY, Napoleon Clement (I139674)
|
| 22704 | Some children placed with his first wife Margaret Penny may actually be the children of his second wife Tephanes. Circumstances unclear, but while his second wife Tephanes was mentioned in his will of 1851, his first wife was not. | GASTON, Samuel Sr. (I3427)
|
| 22705 | Some doubt exists about Isabel's maiden name. She was probably a sister of Robert Simonton, who settled in Bedminster Twp, Somerset Co, NJ, before 1754, whose land at that date adjoined the land of Hugh Gaston, and who moved to Pennsylvania and died in Mount Bethel Twp, Northampton Co, in 1786, leaving children James, Ephraim, Robert, Peter, Benjamin, Margaret Nelson, Jean Britton, and Esther Ross, of whom James & Peter settled in Washington Co, PA. One research team (Gene & Norma Harrington Maas at http://www.genemaas.net/Gaston_roots.htm) report her name as Isabel Simonton Galbraith. | SIMONTON, Isabel (I3510)
|
| 22706 | Some genealogies include as a child of James Elmore Snider and Virginia Ellen McKinley another daughter, Mary F. Snider, born Nov 1864, died Sep 1866, buried at Childers Cemetery. Her headstone states that she was a daughter of J. & V. E. Snider. But that child's death record identifies her parents as Jehu & Virginia E. Snider. That would be John "Jehu" Snider and Virginia E. Apsey, also of New Milton. | Family: James Elmore SNIDER / Virginia Ellen MCKINLEY (F34597)
|
| 22707 | Some question exists as to her correct first name. Although widely believed to have been Sarah, evidence seems more to indicate Elizabeth. In either event, she was known almost exclusively only by her middle name, Jane. Her name was given as Jane in the 1870 Census, and even her headstone identifies her only as "Jane, wife of Isaac Husk." The death record of Isaac Newton Husk incorrectly lists his parents as Isaac Husk and Jane Whetlatch [sic], confusing his mother with his grandmother, Sarah Whitlatch. | CRITCHFIELD, Elizabeth Jane (I766)
|
| 22708 | Some records indicate a birth date of May 22 1912, but his birth record states May 23 1912. Similarly, Social Security records show a death date of Jul 4 1991, but his military records indicate Jul 7 1991. | FAHEY, James Leo (I103718)
|
| 22709 | Some records indicate a birth year of 1925. | CROSSMAN, William Clark "Billy" Jr. (I136817)
|
| 22710 | Some records state birth date as 1 Jan 1915, while others state 16 Dec 1915. But date on headstone is 1914. Birthplace given in 1920 Census as West Virginia, but in 1930 & 1940 Census as North Dakota. | DAVISSON, Elmer Hart (I98665)
|
| 22711 | Some researchers (e.g., Edward Couey) have birthdate as Dec 22 1790. | GASTON, Sarah (I1071)
|
| 22712 | Some researchers (e.g., Lauri Buell Boaz) report death date as Jun 7 1857, but cemetery directory gives death date as Jan 7 1857, and Harrison County Death Records show that S. P. Gaston, dau of James & C., died on Jun 1 1857 at the age of 7y1m23d. Thus, the exact birth and/or death dates are still in question. | GASTON, Sarah Palestine (I1470)
|
| 22713 | Some researchers have concluded that Laban Valentine Smith was born to Catherine "Katie" Smith (1799-1870) four years before her 1825 marriage in Pendleton County to George Grenawalt (1775-1866). Laban's father is thought to have been a Seneca Indian with surname Van Meter. | SMITH, Laban Valentine (I133695)
|
| 22714 | Some researchers have identified George A. Ross (1859-1951), buried at Blandville, Doddridge Co, as the husband of Margaret Lucretia Husk. This is incorrect, as evidenced by her obituary, by courthouse records, by information in "The History of Doddridge County," p. 76, by her headstone identifying her as the wife of J. S. Ross, and by the obituary of James Samuel Ross, son of the George A. Ross in question. Margaret Lucretia Husk's husband was actually this James Samuel Ross. Following Margaret's death, James Samuel Ross married Cansada Skinner, who was previously married to George Riley Ross, who was born ca 1865 in Bath Co, VA and whose relationship to this Ross family is unknown. Doddridge County marriage records also show that the George A. Ross in question, who also was born in Bath Co, VA, married at least twice: First to Emma Elizabeth Putnam (or Putman) in 1881, then to Brida Sutton in 1897, and then to Sarah Melissa Greathouse in 1920. | Family: James Samuel ROSS / Margaret Lucretia HUSK (F326)
|
| 22715 | Some researchers have identified the wife of Calvin Douglass as Nancy (b. 1827 in Virginia, d. May 11 1901 in Jackson Co WV), married on Apr 6 1854 in Jackson County. But Jackson County marriage records show on that date a marriage between Calvin Douglass, 30, and M. J. Brownell, 22. 1870 Census, Jackson Co, WV (Union Twp), enumerated on Jul 23 1870: Calvin Douglass, 51, b. Virginia, farmer; Mary, 43, b. New York; Hannah, 16; John, 14; Alela, 12; Victoria, 11; Ella, 9; Reuben, 5; Lydia, 2. In the adjoining household was one occupant: Sarah Brownell, 65, b. New York. 1880 Census, Jackson Co, WV (Union Twp), enumerated on Jun 25 1880: Calvin Douglass, 60, b. W. Va., farmer; wife Mary J., 53, b. New York; son John L., 22; dau Victoria, 19; dau Ella, 17; dau Lydia, 12; dau Ettie, 9; farm worker Henry Shinn, 50; farm worker William Cunningham, 18. | Family: Calvin DOUGLASS / Mary J. BROWNELL (F21038)
|
| 22716 | Some researchers have reported a death date of Dec 2 1918, but that is incorrect. Her obituary, in the Dec 9 1915 issue of the West Union Herald, states that she "departed this life December 2nd 1915." | PERINE, Cora Winnie (I14134)
|
| 22717 | Some researchers have reported birth in about 1821 in Pennsylvania, but 1900 Census (in household of son Sylvester) shows her age as 86, with birthplace in Virginia. | RIGGS, Harriet (I26089)
|
| 22718 | Some researchers identify Agnes as possibly the daughter of Phillip of Navarre, and it is also said that she was accused of witchcraft in 1650 [per "Surnames of Scotland" by George F. Black]. But other researchers have convincingly refuted those assertions, and have further cast doubt that the wife of Jean Gaston was named Agnes at all. Although we side more with the skeptics, we nonetheless report Jean Gaston's wife as Agnes simply out of tradition. | ___, Agnes (I1109)
|
| 22719 | Some researchers list four children for John C. Gaston and Esther Hickman: Florence, Emily, Harry and Lee. But this is considered incorrect, based on the following census entries: 1900 Census, Columbiana Co, Ohio (Middleton Twp), enumerated Jun 22 1900: John Gaston, b. Jun 1866 in Ohio, both parents b. Ohio, farmer, married 12 yrs; wife Esther, b. Jun 1863, mother of 3 children, all still living; dau Florence, b. Nov 1889; dau Emily, b. Feb 1891; son Lee H., b. Oct 1893. 1910 Census, Columbiana Co, Ohio (Middleton Twp), enumerated May 4 1910: John C. Gaston, 43, farmer, married 12 yrs; wife Ester, 46, mother of 3 children, all still living; dau Emily, 19; son Henry, 17. 1920 Census, Columbiana Co, Ohio (Middleton Twp), enumerated Jan 27 1920: John C. Gaston, 53, automobile salesman; wife Esther, 54; father Philander, 91. The adjacent dwelling had the following household members: Henry Lee Gaston, 27, b. Ohio, farmer; wife Florence, 25; dau Thelma M., 1. | Family: John C. GASTON / Esther HICKMAN (F16010)
|
| 22720 | Some researchers report a death date for David S. Chipps of Sep 4 1873, but we have found no evidence to support that. He appeared with his family in the 1880 Census. We have found no trace of him or his wife after that census. | CHIPPS, David Scott (I56072)
|
| 22721 | Some researchers report a death date of Sep 5 1888 in Elmdale, Chase County, Kansas. But "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p 76, reports it as Sep 5 1897, while her husband's obituary states Sep 5 1898. The latter dates are more consistent with the births of her three children. | TUCKER, Dorothy Rebecca (I92190)
|
| 22722 | Some researchers report her birth date as 22 Aug 1869, the same as her sister Rachel. But her birth date is given in the 1900 Census as Aug 1860, age 39 at time of June enumeration. She was age 9 in the 1870 Census, while her sister Rachel was a year older. | COX, Florence Zonetta (I74979)
|
| 22723 | Some researchers report Mary Morris's middle name as Elizabeth. But 1880 Census lists her as Mary C. Morris, and her marriage record identifies her as Mary Charlotte Morris. As grandchildren of James Gaston & Charlotte Swisher, Hiter Stewart and Mary Charlotte Morris were first cousins. His name has also been reported as Hites Stewart. | Family: Hiter STEWART / Mary Charlotte MORRIS (F1787)
|
| 22724 | Some researchers report that Alexander Orrahood IV served in the Civil War and died at Andersonville Prison in 1864. But we have found no record of his military service. Anyone who can shed light on this discrepancy is requested to let us know. | ORRAHOOD, Alexander IV (I24413)
|
| 22725 | Some researchers report the parents of Nancy Nutter, the wife of William Watson, as James Nutter (1773-1833) and Julia Ann Davisson (1775-1826), a relationship that is at variance with substantiated facts about her. Nancy Nutter Watson's death record in Doddridge County states that she was born in Barbour Co, (W)VA, the daughter of "A. Nutter." While Barbour County is inconsistent with the reported birthplaces of her siblings (Harrison and Doddridge Counties) and may be incorrect, we do know that her husband William Watson's family had resided for some time in Barbour County, and that her two oldest children were also born in Barbour County. As far as can be determined, James Nutter and Julia Ann Davisson spent their entire lives in Harrison County and had no known Barbour County connections. Adding to the confusion is the Nutter genealogy compiled by Donald Norman, based on Barr Wilson's work, listing among the children of James Nutter & Julia Ann Davisson, and also among the children of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, a daughter named Nancy who married a William Watson. That there would be two Nancy Nutters who married two William Watsons in that region and time frame seems very unlikely. However, we do know that a Nancy Nutter married a William Watson in Harrison County on Oct 22 1840 (or possibly Mar 4 1841, based on interpretation of the handwritten marriage record; a Marriage Bond was executed in Harrison County on Sep 1 1840 by Nancy Nutter's parents, Anda (sic) & Malinda Nutter, and also signed by her brother Willis Nutter and by Otha G. Watson, half-brother of William M. Watson). There is nothing in the marriage record itself (MR Bk 3, p. 145) reflecting the parentage or exact identity of either person, leaving open the possibility that it was a different Nancy Nutter, a different William Watson, or both. But the family members mentioned in the marriage bond should dispel any doubt. No other marriage record for William or Nancy was found in Harrison, Doddridge or Barbour Counties. Given all the evidence and circumstances, we conclude that it was this Nancy Nutter, daughter of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, who married William Watson. | NUTTER, Nancy (I12878)
|
| 22726 | Some researchers report the parents of this Matthew Nathan Nutter as Christopher Nutter (b. 1695 in Delaware) & Ann Evans (b. 1708 in Maryland). | NUTTER, Matthew Nathan (I8683)
|
| 22727 | Some researchers, Don Norman et al, report this Nancy Nutter marrying a William Watson. This is considered unlikely and is probably a result of confusion with Nancy Nutter, daughter of Andrew Nutter and Malinda Willis, who married William M. Watson in Harrison Co on Oct 22 1840. | NUTTER, Nancy (I20602)
|
| 22728 | Some researchers, including direct descendants, report birth-death dates as Aug 8 1810 - Aug 26 1898, as well as other variations. The death record clearly shows death date as Aug 24 1893, and age 88y 10m 12d would put birth date at Oct 12 1804. Headstone dates are Aug 8 1810 - Aug 26 1893. But age 36 in 1850 Census, age 56 in 1870 Census, and age 65 in 1880 Census would put birth in about 1814 or 1815, which we consider more reliable because of the consistency over the years. | GREATHOUSE, Augustine W. (I22579)
|
| 22729 | Some reserchers report birth as early as 1707. | GASTON, Alexander (I3045)
|
| 22730 | Some secondary sources report the parents of Louris Jansen Op Dyck as Jan Dericsen Opdycke & Margaret ___ of Elburg, Gelderland, The Netherlands. | OPDYCK, Louris Jansen (I42854)

|
| 22733 | Sometime before 1813, John & Sarah Smith Jett moved from Fauquier County to Franklin County, VA, remaining there until 1820, at which time they moved to present-day Barbour County (W)VA, which was formed from Harrison, Lewis and Randolph counties in 1843. A record of their children and John Jett's Last Will and Testament is on file at the Barbour County Clerk's Office. John Gett in the 1810 United States Federal Census Name John Gett [ ] Residence Date 6 Aug 1810 Residence Place Harrison, Virginia, USA Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25 1 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10 3 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15 1 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44 1 Number of Household Members Under 16 4 Number of Household Members Over 25 2 Number of Household Members 7 John Jet in the 1820 United States Federal Census Name John Jet Enumeration Date 7 Aug 1820 Home in 1820 (City, County, State) Harrison, Virginia, USA Free White Persons - Males - Under 10 2 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 15 1 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10 1 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15 2 Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25 1 Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture 2 Free White Persons - Under 16 6 Free White Persons - Over 25 1 Total Free White Persons 8 Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other 8 1850 Census, Barbour County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on August 24, 1850: John Jett, 69, farmer, value of real estate $1,600; Sarah Jett, 74.

All born in Virginia. | Family: John JETT / Sarah "Sally" SMITH (F5623)
|
| 22734 | Sometime prior to his 1943 marriage, Claude Columbus Cottrill changed the spelling of his surname to Cottrille. | COTTRILLE, Claude Columbus (I87659)
|
| 22735 | Sometimes identified by researchers as Abigail Samples, but her son Frank's obituary states Addie, while daughter Anna's obituary has it as Abagale and Anna's marriage record states Addie Bell Samples. Marriage record has it as Abby, but son's marriage record, husband's death record, and her own death record state Abbie. The 1880 Census has her name as Abigail, the 1900 Census Abigale, the 1910 Census Lydia A (and in daughter Anna's birth record), and both the 1920 and 1930 Census Abby. All but one Census show her birthplace as Pennsylvania, as does her death record. | SAMPLES, Abigale Lydia (I12522)
|
| 22736 | Son Alonzo's entry in both the 1920 and 1930 Census states his father's birthplace as New York. But other references indicate Ohio, and a genealogy prepared by an immediate descendant specifies Alexander Cummings Gaston's birthplace as "1-1/2 miles west of Oberlin, Ohio." | GASTON, Alexander Cummings (I13678)
|
| 22737 | Son George Washington Husk's death record identifies his father's birthplace as Pennsylvania, and daughter Martha's death record states father's birthplace as Greene Co, PA. But 1850 Census of Greene Co, Pa. gives his birthplace as Virginia, while all other family members are shown as being born in Pennsylvania. The 1900 Census of Doddridge County states his birth date as March 1819. | HUSK, Isaac (I765)
|
| 22738 | Son Gerald's birth record (a delayed entry filed by his aunt Alice Nicholson Cox in April 1942) shows his mother's birthplace as Culpeper County, Virginia. | NICHOLSON, Mary Susan (I30589)

| 22739 | Son Joseph's Family Bible, per Edward Couey. | Source (S624)
|
| 22740 | Son of Archibald Morrison. Alexander and Mary came to Harrison County with her parents about 1785. Alexander was listed on the Tithables List in Harrison County in 1787/88 and 1789. He served as surveyor before 1788 and was on the grand jury in 1791. | MORRISON, Alexander (I46426)
|
| 22741 | Son of Benjamin & Nancy Davis, according to marriage record, but death record identifies parents as Benjamin Davis & Mary Scott. | DAVIS, Felix (I63614)
