| 23201 | The only occupant of the household, he was identified as Elijah W. Sutton, 47, b. WVa, laborer, single. His household was next to that of his sister Ella (Sutton) Lilly. | SUTTON, Elijah L. W. (I9149)
|
| 23202 | The only survivor given in his obituary was an aunt, Eva Shipley, of Summit Park. He himself was identified as Dale Husk. | HUSK, Everett Dale (I2262)
|
| 23203 | The parentage of Benjamin Brown, presumed husband of Abigail Cleveland (and father of Benjamin Brown (b. ca 1733) who married Hannah Benjamin), has not been determined. His name is known only from a reference in "The Benjamin Family in America," p. 113, wherein the husband of Hannah Benjamin is identified as "Benjamin Brown, the son of Benjamin and Abigail (Cleveland) Brown." There is some evidence, however, that the elder Benjamin Brown and Abigail Cleveland were never married, as reflected in an entry in the Bastard Files book at the Connecticut State Library. He is presumed to have died in Connecticut before 1741, since Abigail's first child by her second husband was born in November of that year. Although quite possible, it would be only speculation to suggest that this is the Benjamin Brown widely reported as the son of Deacon Thomas Brown and the father of Rufus Brown. If any reader of this genealogy has information which would support or disprove this possibility, please let us know. | BROWN, Benjamin (I72793)
|
| 23204 | The parents of Dorsey Stutler, born 8 Aug 1893 in West Grafton, Taylor County, are identified in his birth record as William Stutler and Rose Davis, basis for which is not clear. Dorsey is indicated as being the mother's fourth child. Father's occupation was brakeman. Informant for birth record: R. D. Mackin of West Grafton, the medical attendant. But the parents of Dorsey Macon Stutler, born 8 Aug 1893 in Doddridge County, are identified in his marriage records as Monroe Stutler and Rosie M. Scriber. Records show that Dorsey's father, Stephen Monroe Stutler, married Rosanna "Rosa" Richards in Doddridge County on 21 Feb 1883. | STUTLER, Dorsey Macon (I139499)
|
| 23205 | The parents of Earl Douglas(s) are listed on his death record as John Douglas and Margaret Hickman. But John M. Douglass died in 1872, ten years before Earl's birth. Margaret died in 1893 when Earl was age 9. No entry for him was found in the 1900 Census, and no clues have surfaced regarding his actual biological father. | DOUGLASS, Earl Lee (I104189)
|
| 23206 | The parents of Henry J. Sanders and Olive L. Mowry have not been determined. If any reader of this genealogy has information which would shed light on this subject, please let us know. Although the family surname is consistently spelled Sanders in the census records, Henry and Olive's headstone spells it Saunders. 1850 Census, Norwich, Chenango Co, NY, enumerated on Apr 20 1850: Harry (sic) J. Sanders, 44, b. Rhode Island, occupation laborer; Olave, 36, b. R.I.; Charles H, 12, b. New York; Mary E, 10, b. NY; Almira, 9, b. NY; Slater P, 8, b. NY; William B, 4, b. NY; Washington, 2, b.

|
| 23207 | The parents of Ida Belle Leggett are known from the 1870 Census. Her marriage record did not call for parents' names, and her death record identifed her parents as "Unknown." In the 1880 Census of Ritchie Co WV (Union District), enumerated on Jun 11 1880, she was a member of the household of Ezekiel Kelley and wife Mary Jane Stinespring. The Census entry was as follows: Ezekiel Kelley, 51, occupation farmer; Mary Jane, 31, wife, occupation keeping house; Festus, 13, son, occupation works on farm; D. Alice, 9, dau; L. Ann, 5, dau; Ida Belle Leggett, 16, relationship not given, occupation does housework. | LEGGETT, Ida Belle (I47622)
|
| 23208 | The parents of this Robert Lowther, husband of Mary Ann Spurgeon, have not been definitively identified. There is speculation that this may be the Robert Lowther who some researchers include in the family of Thomas Lowther (1767-1816) and Mary Coburn. But his death record identifies him as the son of Thomas and Catherine. See the entry for Thomas Lowther (1767-1816) for an extensive discussion of this subject. If any reader of this genealogy can shed further light on the parentage or other wives/children of this Robert Lowther, please contact us. 1840 Census, Harrison County, (W)VA: Household of Robert Lowther: 1 male age 20-30 1 female age 15-20 (Note: This may pertain to a different Robert Lowther, or to the same Robert Lowther with a different wife.

| 23210 | The Perry County Democrat, July 27, 1910: David Goshorn died on the 14th inst. at his home in Winchester, Va. He was born in Franklin county, Pa., and in his youth learned the printing trade at Shirleysburg, Pa.

Va., where he published a county newspaper and was also superintendent of the public schools of Mineral county for several years, when he sold out and removed to Winchester, Va., where he lived until his death, which-was due to the infirmities of old age, he being in his 83rd year. ... | GOSHORN, David (I56584)
|
| 23211 | The precise year of Abigail Cleveland's second marriage, to John Adams, is not clear. Genealogist Andrew N. Adams reports a date of 1733, when her son Benjamin Brown was not more that one year of age. But Canterbury town records show that the first of Abigail and John Adams' nine children was not born until November 1741. In 1746 John Adams and his wife participated in the formation of the Separatist Church in Canterbury, which gave rise to much dissension in that village. John Adams was made a member of the early church in 1741, and his wife Abigail in 1745. On Apr 17 1752, John and Abigail Adams acknowledged receipt of a legacy from the estate of her father, Josiah Cleveland of Canterbury, which had been bequeathed to them in a clause in his will of Dec 28 1750, in which Josiah Cleveland mentions his daughter Abigail Adams and his grandson Benjamin Brown. John Adams' will was drawn on May 4 1762, and the estate was administered that same year. In it he mentions wife Abigail Adams. Mrs. Abigail Adams' estate was administered Feb 19 1783, and mention is made of her "eldest son Benjamin Brown." According to an article by genealogist Emily Wilder Leavitt of Boston, written in the "New England Historical & Genealogical Register" in 1894, in "a little graveyard in the northern part of Canterbury the tombstones of both John and Abigail Adams have recently been found: 'Here lies the body of Mr. John Adams who died January 16, 1762-3, in his 66th year.' On that of his wife is inscribed: 'Here lies the body of Mrs. Abigail, wife of Mr. John Adams who died December 15, 1782.'" Abigail's brother Aaron was the father of Moses Cleaveland, the founder of Cleveland, Ohio. | CLEVELAND, Abigail (I72789)

| 23212 | The Ralstons were among the early pioneers of the Weston community. They started both Ralston's Drug Store and Ralston's Jewelry Store. | Family: Er RALSTON / Permelia Matilda BAILEY (F9968)
|
| 23213 | The record of this birth is for an unnamed male child, born Jan 21 1894 in Summers, Doddridge Co, the son of George W. Husk, age 30, and Sarah C. Reed Husk, age 20, this being the first child born to this mother. There is no death record on file for him. The name now associated with this child, Charles Curtis Husk, was provided by immediate family members and is reflected on his grave marker. The circumstances for the incorrect birth year, 1892, being placed on the grave marker are not known. Doddridge County marriage records show his parents to have married on Mar 19 1893. | HUSK, Charles Curtis (I2481)
|
| 23214 | The record of this marriage is a typed listing of marriages, with this heading: "Copy of the Marriage Record of J. R. Tygard, a Justice of the Peace for Wayne Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania; whose home and office was within twenty feet of the Mason-Dixon line, at Blacksville." It is filed with the marriage records of Monongalia County, West Virginia. Pertinent entry for this marriage: "July 1, 1866 - Married Eugenus Stull and Nancy Youst." https://archive.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=11345090&Type=Marriage | Family: Eugenus STULL / Frances M. (Nancy) HAUGHT (F59054)

| 23215 | The Rev. John Huett of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and Doctor of Divinity of Oxford; minister of St. Gregory's by St. Paul's, London; a royalist divine; published devotional works; said to have harbored Ormond in 1658 when that nobleman went into England under disguise to obtain intelligence information as to the chances for an uprising on behalf of Charles Stuart, later to come to the throne as Charles II. Rev. John Huett, for involvment in the royalist plot, despite Mrs. Claypoole's intercession, was beheaded in June 1658. | HUETT, John Sr. (I9426)
|
| 23216 | The Reverend John Huett's name appears in the Somerset County and Maryland provincial archives spelled variously as Huett, Huet, Hewett and Hewitt, but most commonly Huett, which was the spelling used by him in witnessing the will of John Evans, of Somerset Co, dated May 6, 1686. On February 19, 1661, John Huett was granted an annuity on account of his father's beheading. He was the resident clergyman of the Church of England in the county. It is believed that he was transported to Virginia in 1663 by Capt. Adam Thorogood. He returned to England, studied for "holy orders" and was ordained deacon, returning then to Somerset County in Maryland. In 1682 he returned once again to England, where he was ordained a priest by the Bishop of London. He returned again to Somerset County, where he remained the rest of his life. The Reverend John Huett appears to have been the first and only clergyman of the Church of England resident from late in the year 1680 until 1696. He gives to the Church of England, and her daughter the Protestant Episcopal Church, in this country a "Father Founder." Rev. John Huett was a true and courageous minister from whom we can draw inspiration. The ministry in Somerset was purely missionary in nature. The minister's work was door-to-door. Services must have been held in the homes of the planters, in store houses, barns or, in seasonable weather, in the open air, as no reference has been found to a house of worship. His work was not only pastoral and prophetic, to counsel and teach the people under his care, but also faithfully to minister the sacraments of the Gospel. The Reverend John Huett was elected by the freeholders of Somerset County on April 18, 1692 to represent Somerset in the Lower House of Assembly, but it was subsequently decided that it was improper for clergy to hold such office, so he was immediately named a chaplain to the Assembly. The Reverend John Huett's home plantation was called "Contention" in Somerset County. He died at his plantation and is buried there. ["Old Somerset on the Eastern Shore," by Clayton Torrence, published 1935 by Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, VA, pages 140, 149, 520-524 and 453.] | HUETT, John (I9028)
|
| 23217 | The Reverend William Boyd was the minister of Lamington Presbyterian Church, Somerset Co, NJ. Either his family or the family of his son John lived in Sussex Co, NJ, and later moved to Hudson, New York. | BOYD, William (I4484)
|
| 23218 | The Rhode Island Genealogical Register, Vol 14, p. 214, suggests that Thomas Hazard's parents may have been William Hazard and Elizabeth Sachevall. | HAZARD, Thomas (I14659)
|
| 23219 | The same date, Nov 29 1810, is given by Jane Farrell Burgess for Elcy Gaston's marriage, and by Bob Gaston of Longview WA for her death. Both citations appear credible in their context and are presumed correct. | GASTON, Elcy (Elsie) (I6631)
|
| 23220 | The Samuel Barr Family Genealogy reports birth date as 8 Oct 1864. But his birth date is given in the 1900 Census as October 1863, and the date on his headstone is also 1863. | RIDDLE, Albert J. "Jud" (I26510)
|
| 23221 | The second daughter of Isaac & Rachel West Husk, Dorcas Emma Husk Carpenter, died in childbirth with her fourth child, a son Boyd, who also died shortly afterwards. Her three remaining children were taken in by Isaac & Rachel, who raised their three granddaughters as their own children. This left Emma's widower, Lewis Johnson Carpenter, free to marry his wife Emma's first cousin, Eunice Ann Coon (daughter of Isaac's sister Jane), also a recent widow. 1910 Census, Calhoun Co, WV (Lee District), enumerated on May 5 1910: Isaac Husk, 64, farmer, married 40 yrs; wife Rachiel (sic) Husk, 63, mother of 9 children (7 still living); dau Cordelia Husk, 12; granddau Villetta Carpenter, 8; granddau Viola Carpenter, 7; granddau Vilena Carpenter, 4. Entries for the three oldest household members indicated that Isaac and daughter Cordelia were able to read and write, while Rachel could do neither. 1920 Census, Calhoun Co, WV (Lee District), enumerated on Apr 21 1920 on Richardson Road: Isaac Husk, 73, farmer; wife Rachel Husk, 71; granddau Violena Carpenter, 13. Again, Rachel was the only household member unable to read or write. | Family: Isaac HUSK / Rachel WEST (F334)
|
| 23222 | The Separation Qualification Record issued for Merle J. Pierce by the Separation Center at Fort Meade, Maryland on 8 Dec 1945 contained the following description of his duties, which he had performed for six months. For the eight months prior to that, he had been an Ammunition Bearer. Immediate family advises that he was with the Army's 71st Infantry. "COUNTER INTELLIGENCE CORPS AGENT -- Made investigations with 5th Infantry Regiment. Screened prisoners for information regarding German SS troops and Nazi Party members. Safeguarded against sabotage to protect mlitary personnel. Made character investigations of citizens in occupied towns. Turned captured criminals over to Criminal Investigation Department." | PIERCE, Merle James "Snowball" (I9407)

| 23223 | The Snider McDonald Farm now known today as the Snider Family Farm is where Don enjoyed tending to his Draft and Tennessee Walker horses and his Angus and Angus Cross cattle with his family. | SNIDER, Donald Maxwell (I39279)
|
| 23224 | The Social Security Death Index lists her birth date as Dec 17 1882, but obituary has Dec 17 1881, with age 92 at time of death in Aug 1974. Death record also has birth date as Dec 17 1881, and age 19 given at time of Sep 1901 marriage would also put her December birth date in in 1881. No birth record for her was found in Doddridge Co. It would appear that the SSDI entry is in error. | WILLIS, Idell Elizabeth (I16762)
|
| 23225 | The Social Security Death Index reports his death date as Aug 1 1994. But his wife's obituary and his own death notice in the local newspaper state that he died on Jul 31 1994. McQUAIN, Brace L., 78, of Glenwillard, died July 31. Matter-Tatalovich Funeral Home, Ambridge. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PA) - Tuesday, August 2, 1994 "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", Pennsylvania, GenealogyBank.com (http://www.genealogybank.com/doc/obituaries/obit/0FBC76C1F67BC99E-0FBC76C1F67BC99E : accessed 4 January 2016) | MCQUAIN, Brace Lewis (I103726)
|
| 23226 | The Social Security Death Index shows his death date as Dec 8 1989. But his obituary in the Jan 16 1990 issue of the West Union Herald Record states that he "died at 3:11 a.m., Monday, Jan 8, at United Hospital Center." | FRAME, George Philip (I35492)
|
| 23227 | The spelling "Chrislip" was used throughout the obituary of Opal Swisher Crislip for herself, her husband, and their sons. But the spelling "Crislip" was used in her newspaper death notice, as well as in the SSDI entries for both herself and her husband. | Family: Elman Cleo CRISLIP / Opal SWISHER (F6602)
|
| 23228 | The spelling "Laurance" is a result of the family's intention to name the next child Laura, if a girl, after John D. Jr.'s mother, Laura Spelman Rockefeller. | ROCKEFELLER, Laurance Spelman (I33296)
|
| 23229 | The spelling of this family's name varies widely in the records. In their 1837 marriage record, it's spelled McLaughlin, on their headstones it's McGlothian, in census records and children's marriage records it's McGlochlin, McGlothlin, McGlaughlin, etc. 1850 Census, Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Aug 26 1850: Henry McGlochlin, 60, farmer, value of real estate $1,200; Nancy, 36; Nancy, 12; Elizabeth, 10; Olive, 8; Virginia, 6; Amelia, 4.

|
| 23231 | The spelling of this family's surname is found in various records as Seeders, Seders, Seaders, Cedars, and other variations. In our listings, we have stayed with the predominate spelling of Seeders, except in some cases where another spelling was adopted and consistently carried forward. Although his name appears in his military service records only as Jesse Seeders, the application for his military grave marker spelled his name Jessie Seders, which is how it appears on the marker. 1850 Census, Hampshire Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Aug 26 1850: Jessie Seeders, 44, laborer, cannot read/write; Elizabeth, 39, cannot read/write; James M, 14; Jessie (male), 11; Susan, 8; John T, 6; Eliza J, 4; William, 2.

MENEAR (F38446)
|
| 23233 | The spelling of this family's surname varies from one record to the next, appearing with about equal freqency as both Payton and Peyton.

Tax records also indicate that Luke Jaco was residing in Missouri in the years 1866 and 1867, but that he appeared to have returned to Doddridge after that. The last Doddridge County tax record in his name was for the year 1872, although it is not clear that he was a resident at that time, or even still living. | JACO, Luke (I91841)
