| 23751 | William E. Swiger's obituary states that he died in May 1938, exactly "two months and sixteen days after his 102nd birthday." It further states that he was born on Feb 28 1836 near Center Point, that he enlisted as a Cavalry soldier in the Union Army in 1861 at age 25, and that he was wounded at the Battle of Bull Run, incurring a bullet in the leg and a bayonet cut on his hand. His death record and grave marker also show his birth date as Feb 28 1836. But this account is inconsistent with his 1865 marriage record, which gives his age as 19 (b. 1846); with his 1924 marriage record, which gives his age as 77 (b. 1847); with his Feb 1865 military enlistment, which gives his age as 17 (b. 1848) and with all seven census records in which he appeared. While the 1900 Census specifies his birth date as Feb 1845, age 55, his ages in the three earliest censuses would put his birth date in about 1848. Regarding his military service, records show that he enlisted in the Infantry at age 17, just two months before the end of the war, and spent much of his brief enlistment sick in a hospital in Grafton. 1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Oct 4 1850: Daniel Swiger, 32, farmer; Mary, 44; John C, 13; Ann E, 12; Nancy E, 9; Andrew H, 7; Tabitha, 5; William H (sic), 2. 1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jun 1 1860: D.

| 23752 | William F. Donnelly, in "The Wests of Duck Creek," p. 404, gives Elizabeth Davison's birthdate as Oct 8 1770, as does researcher Jeff Whittaker. Also, researcher Linn Baiker has birthdate as Oct 8 1768, citing several sources including notes of previous researchers in her immediate family. But headstone inscription states that she died on July 26 1839 at age 69y 9m 18d, which would put her birthdate at Oct 8 1769. | DAVISON, Elizabeth (I389)

| 23754 | William Gaston (b. 1642), along with his brothers, John and Alexander, went to County Antrim in Northern Ireland between 1662-1668. He is referred to by genealogists as "the first Irish William Gaston" to distinguish him from brother John's son William and others. He was the father of the Charleston, South Carolina, Gastons who emigrated in the 1760's-1770's from County Antrim, Ireland. | GASTON, William (I1110)
|
| 23755 | William Gaston of North Carolina entered Georgetown on Nov 22 1791 as the first student to enroll. Though health forced his transfer to Princeton, where he was placed in the third year of studies after a year and a half at Georgetown, Gaston remained close to the faculty throughout his life. He served in the U.S. Congress 1813-15, where he introduced the legislation chartering the college, and served as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court 1833-44. In 1817, he voluntarily retired from Congress and never again entered national politics, declining in 1840 the offer of the U.S. senatorship and in 1841 the offer of a seat as Attorney General in the cabinet of President Harrison. He wrote the state song of North Carolina, where the city of Gastonia and the county of Gaston are named in his honor. http://gulib.lausun.georgetown.edu/dept/speccoll/case5.htm "In 1835, Gaston was an influential delegate to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention, where he fought to have religious qualifications for office holding dropped and where he attempted to protect the voting privileges of free people of color. Gaston also supported federal representation as the basis for representation in the House of Commons and biennial meetings of the state legislature. "Gaston's law practice was very successful and his reputation in legal circles was of national scope. Daniel Webster and John Marshall, among others, consulted with him on legal questions. In 1833, Gaston was elected by the state legislature to a post as an associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, where he served until his death in 1844. Gaston's most famous decision on the bench came in 1834 with the case of State v. Negro Will. Gaston ruled that a slave had the right to defend himself against an unlawful attempt of a master, or an agent of a master, to kill him. In the significant case of State v. William Manuel in 1838, he held that a manumitted slave was a citizen of the state and thus entitled to the guarantees of the constitution. Gaston purchased a library for the state Supreme Court while on a trip to New York City in 1835. " http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/g/Gaston,William.html# Some accounts put his two older children, Alexander and Susan, as being by his first wife, Susan Hay, but according to his biography, "William Gaston, Carolinian," by J. Herman Schauinger (Bruce Publishing Co, Milwaukee, WI, 1949), Susan died just eight months after they were married. Because his second wife, Hannah, died in 1813, it is clear that his first three children were by her, and his last two by his third wife, Eliza Ann Worthington, daughter of the college physician. | GASTON, William Joseph (I3398)
|
| 23756 | William Gaston's death date is reported by Findagrave.com as 1808, based principally on his Last Will & Testament being dated Jul 21 1803 and probated Jul 21 1808. A death date of 1804 has also been reported. "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p 41, reports that this William Gaston settled in Illinois, which is contradicted by other researchers. | GASTON, William (I3648)

| 23757 | William Green left England at the age of twenty, landed at the port of Philadelphia prior to 1700, and subsequently married Joanna Reeder. They had eleven children, the second being Joseph (father of Sarah). William Green was one of the first judges of the first court of Hunterdon County in 1714, judge of the court of common pleas in quarter sessions in Old Hunterdon County from 1714 to 1721. He was also the first assessor of Hunterdon County. For full history, family tree and record of this Green family, see Cooley's genealogical work "Early Settlers in Trenton and Ewing," p. 78 et seq. | GREEN, William (I6043)

| 23759 | William Hanafee, a well-known railroad engineer, died Monday morning of heart trouble. Mr. Hanafee had been in usual good health apparently and had come home Sunday evening from his run as passenger engineer on the Southern, eaten a hearty supper, when at retiring he was attacked with heart trouble. He was 60 years old and was a native of Loveland, O., but came here in his early days and worked on the old Airline when it was first built continuing with the Southern road. He was engineer for 25 years and had received a gold medal for faithful service. He was the second oldest engineer in service on the Southern road. He married his surviving widow, who was Miss Rose Broecker, 27 years ago, and there are seven children to mourn his death. They are John Hanafee, Louisville, George Hanafee, Misses Elizabeth, Amelia, Catherine and May Hanafee, of this city; Mrs. B. A. Baston, Niagara Falls. He is also survived by a brother, John Hanafee, of this city, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Robinette of Baltimore. New Albany Daily Ledger, 7 Aug 1916, p4c4 | HANAFEE, William (I130446)

|
| 23762 | William Hugill's death record states that the place of death in Lewis County was a hospital. This is likely the Weston State Hospital for the Insane, based on the following local news item in the "West Union Herald" of Thursday, June 19, 1913, in its entirety: "William Hugill was taken to the hospital for the insane at Weston Monday by Constable John R. Dotson." The death of his wife Lucy had occurred the previous week, on June 10, 1913. There is no evidence that he was buried with Lucy at Center Point Christian Cemetery. Under the circumstances, it is just as likely tha the was buried in the Weston State Hospital cemetery. | HUGILL, William (I129409)

| 23766 | William Law came to America in 1794. His first wife was Mary Burnside, with whom he had six children: William Jr., Thomas, John, Isaac, Frank, and Mary (married Rev George Collins). The reported March 1803 and April 1803 birth dates of sons William Jr. and John are based on their headstones, but are clearly in conflict. After Mary's death, William married Hannah Sill(s), who bore him seven more children: David, Asby Poole (married Deborah Gaston), Asa, Jesse, Elizabeth (married Samuel Morris Gaston), Ruhama (married Jefferson Law), Ellen (married James Hutson). | LAW, William (I4416)

| 23768 | William Lowther's obituary incorrectly states marriage date as Nov 19 1849. Three of their children are known to have been born before then, Minnie Kendall Lowther reports marriage date as 1840 in both of her books, and "Harrison County WV Marriages 1785-1894," p. 96, shows marriage date as Nov 19 1840. | Family: William Ireland "Willie" LOWTHER / Caroline Virginia MITCHELL (F12568)

| 23769 | William M. Saunders was one of the early settlers of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, first making his home there on a farm in the town of Menomonee. He was a native of New York and was married there in Brockport to Catherine Beedle on June 11 1844. During the same year they took up their home in Wisconsin. [obit] "In the spring of 1843, William M. Saunders and William Brown opened the first store. Ashes were legal tender in those days, and any one trading with Saunders could get goods at half-price if he could tell a good story, and pay in ashes at that." [From an 1880s publication on the history of Waukesha County, Wisconsin; cited at http://www.linkstothepast.com/waukesha/lannon.php.

| 23770 | William P. Green enlisted as a First Sergeant in Co A, 14th W.Va. Infantry, on Aug 14 1862 in West Union, Doddridge County. He was promoted to Sergeant Major in January 1863 at New Creek, Mineral County. He was again promoted to Second Lieutenant, assuming command on Apr 1 1863. He was wounded in action at Fisher Hill on Sep 22 1864 and was hospitalized in Winchester until his death. (The Battle of Fisher's Hill was fought September 21-22, 1864, near Strasburg, Shenandoah County, Virginia, as part of the Valley Campaigns of 1864 during the Civil War, resulting in a Union victory. - Wikipedia) The West Union chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), established in February 1870, was the William P. Green chapter, named in his honor. NOTE: As of February 2017, the Civil War medal issued for William P.

| 23771 | William Park embarked with the Rev. Roger Williams, in ship Lion, in December 1630, arriving at Boston in February 1631. He became one of the founders of the first church of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and was its Deacon for many years. He was Deputy to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony for 33 years, having the longest term of service in that capacity under the old Charter. Johnson, in his "Wonder-working Providence," calls him "a man of a pregnant understanding." His will was dated Jul 20 1684, with codicil dated Apr 4 1685. He died on May 11 1685, age 79, with burial at the Roxbury burying ground. His will, probated on Jul 30 1685, made provision for schools and the poor of Roxbury, and "that every child and grandchild or grandchildren shall have, each of them, a new Bible bought and given unto them, out of what I have given unto my beloved wife." He left a daughter, but no surviving son to perpetuate his name. | PARK, William (I73037)

| 23772 | William Porter Crook's death record states the burial location as West Union, without specifying a cemetery. But it is nearly certain that his burial was in Redemption Cemetery, which is located 15 miles south of West Union and is the confirmed burial place of his parents before him, his wife two years after, and some of his children. Cemetery readings have not found a headstone for him or his wife. A notation in Donald E. Ramage's "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Volume I" states "Redemption Hill Cemetery contains a large number of graves without tombstones." Ramage's description of the cemetery also states that "Land for the church was granted to the Redemption Hill Baptist Church by William and Marcella Crook," parents of William Porter Crook. | CROOK, William Porter (I75299)

In 1991, he was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to serve on the PresidentÂ’s Council on Rural America and was elected chairman. Rockefeller was the immediate past president of the Quapaw Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America and was on the Boy Scouts National Board of Directors at the time of his death. After his father's death, Rockefeller bought Winrock Farms Inc., founded by his father in 1953, and became involved in banking, retailing, automobile dealerships, farming and the resort industry. He was an active member of the National Federation of Independent Business. Rockefeller supported literacy councils, and in 1997 created the Books in the Attic program, in which Boy Scouts collect used books to distribute. Two of his eight children have Down syndrome, and Rockefeller and his second wife, Lisenne, started what is now the Academy at Riverdale, a school for children with learning disabilities. Rockefeller also founded The Billfish Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting marlins, swordfish and other billfish. As a National Rifle Association member, he sponsored Project ChildSafe to distribute free trigger locks in the state. Win Rockefeller was ranked # 283 on the Forbes Magazine list of the nation's wealthiest people in 2005, with a fortune the magazine estimated at $1.2 billion. As the Arkansas lieutenant governor, a part-time job, he forwarded his $34,673 state salary to charity. Rockefeller was well known for representing the more liberal wing of the Republican Party in Arkansas. He had drawn a great deal of criticism from conservatives for his support of Planned Parenthood and legal abortion. He was elected Lt. Governor of Arkansas in a 1996 special election triggered by the resignation of Governor Jim Guy Tucker and the promotion of then-Lt. Governor Mike Huckabee. Rockefeller was subsequently re-elected in 1998 to a full four-year term, receiving 67 percent of the vote. He was elected once again in 2002 with 60 percent of the vote. Rockefeller had announced his candidacy for governor and was expected to face the more conservative Asa Hutchinson in the Republican primary election in May 2006. On July 20, 2005, however, he bowed out of the race, citing a blood disorder that could develop into leukemia if untreated. Rockefeller underwent unsuccessful bone marrow transplants in October 2005 and March 2006. He died peacefully at 10:37 a.m. on July 16, 2006 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, surrounded by his family. He was survived by his second wife, Lisenne, his mother Barbara "Bobo" Rockefeller, three daughters, five sons, a granddaughter, a stepbrother and a stepsister. | ROCKEFELLER, Winthrop Paul "Win" (I34874)
