| 352 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993," p. 611, reports a headstone at Mt. Zion EUB Church for Emery Elias Thomas, died Sep 28 1920, age 52y 8m 8d, son of John A. Thomas. But there is also a joint headstone for him (Emory Thomas, 1864 - 1920) and his wife Alice at Cabin Run Cemetery in Doddridge County. His death record has no entry for burial location. | THOMAS, Elias Emory (I38532)
|
| 353 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993," p. 846, reports birth date on headstone as Dec 27 1904. But SSDI lists birth date as Dec 27 1905. | PRUNTY, Barton William (I22918)
|
| 354 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries Through 1993" contains conflicting entries regarding the death date and burial location of Davidson C. Riddle. On p. 655, he is identified as D. C. Riddle (husband of Lucinda), burial at Spruce Creek Old Baptist (aka Smith) Cemetery, no dates. On p. 594, he is identified as Davidson C. Riddle (husband of second wife Rebecca Clevenger), burial at Mt. Olive (Old) (aka Dunkard) Cemetery, born Sep 20 1833, died 1923. Other sources have reported a death date of Feb 28 1919. We have found neither a death record for him nor a record of a second marriage, other than the birth record of daughter Levina. His headstone, showing only a birth date of Sep 20 1833 but no death date, is found at Mt. Olive Cemetery (old, aka Dunkard), as shown by a photograph posted on Findagrave. His second wife, Rebecca, is also buried there. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7073984/davidson-c_-riddle | RIDDLE, Davidson C. (I82183)
|
| 355 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993" reports birth date as 1826. But age 21 at 1850 Census would put birth date at about 1829, and 50 at 1880 Census would put it at about 1830. | MAXWELL, Frances Jane (I34139)

|
| 358 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 447, reports birth date on headstone as 1877, but death record states Aug 1878, age 70y 11m, which would correspond to a birth date of Aug 1877. Marriage record gives birthplace as Tyler County, but death record specifies Macfarlan in Ritchie County. | DOUGLASS, Ellen Leona (I58677)
|
| 359 | "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 500, reports birth date on headstone as July 11 1858. But age in marriage record would put birth in 1859, and death record shows birth date as Jul 11 1859. | AMOS, James Emery (I9312)

| 362 | "Ritchie County in History & Romance," p. 287-A, reports birth date as Feb 26 1828, death date Aug 8 1871. But "Ritchie County Cemeteries through 1993," p. 660, reports headstone reading of same death date, age 44y 5m 12d, which calculates to a birth date of Feb 27 1827. Less credibly, "Tichenor Families in America," p. 150, reports dates as Feb 26 1830 - Nov 21 1872. | PRITCHARD, Anna (I34193)

But obituary states Aug 8 1835, and "Ritchie County Cemeteries" reports headstone date as 1835. Birthplace given in obituary as "the old Ireland homestead at the mouth of the Middle Fork of Hughes River in Ritchie County." | IRELAND, Mortimer (I46489)

|
| 367 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 249, states that he was born on Saturday, May 27 1809. But age 46y 6m 13d on headstone would put birthdate at May 2 1809. | LOWTHER, Jesse Madison (I32403)
|
| 368 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 270, reports death date as May 6 1907, but "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries" reports headstone inscription as May 6 1908. | SINNETT, Sarah (I43422)
|
| 369 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 287-A, states birth date as Aug 4 1822, conflicting with birth date of older sibling. Age 35 in 1860 Census would put birth date in about 1825, while age 48 at 1872 marriage puts it at about 1824, and age 80 at time of death also corresponds to an 1824 birth date. | PRITCHARD, Nancy (I34196)
|
| 370 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 309, reports her birth as 1829, while "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 494, reports it as Apr 27 1827.

|
| 372 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 317, reports death date as Dec 15 1904, but "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 490, shows it as Feb 15 1904. | HOFF, George Skilful (I9328)
|
| 373 | "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 40, lists as children of John Moody Pritchard and Sarah Haddox the same first eight that we show here, with the exception that a son Jasper is listed rather than James. James is documented through his marriage record as a child of this couple; since Jasper and James are shown as being of the same age, it would appear that James was also known as Jasper. There is no reference at all to a daugher Isabel, who is found in the 1860 Census and is identified in her marriage record as a daughter of John M. & Sarah Pritchard. 1850 Census, Ritchie County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Sep 6 1850: Jno M.

|
| 380 | "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries," p. 212, reports headstone dates as 1851-1942. But a photo of the headstone shows the birth date as 1861, and 1900 Census shows birth date as Dec 1861.

| 398 | "The chronicler, businessman, and state founder Granville Davisson Hall (September 17, 1837-June 24, 1934) was born in Harrison County. Hall began his career as a school teacher in Harrison County when he was 17. In 1859, he left Harrison County to work in the printing office of the Wheeling Intelligencer. He remained in Wheeling only a few months, but in 1861 Hall returned to record the proceedings of the Wheeling Conventions. These conventions led to the separation of Virginia's northwestern counties and the creation of the state of West Virginia. Hall's notes, later published as The Rending of Virginia, became the main source of information on the formation of the state. "Hall served in several different positions in the new state government. He was elected the first clerk of the House of Delegates on June 20, 1863. In 1865, he was elected secretary of state and the same year also served as private secretary to West Virginia's first governor, Arthur I. Boreman. After the Civil War, Hall held several positions in the railroad industry and was eventually named president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. "Hall gained fame as a writer and journalist. He edited the Wheeling Intelligencer, and published numerous works of fiction and nonfiction. His nonfiction books included Lees Invasion of Northwest Virginia, Two Virginias, and The Rending of Virginia. His fiction included Daughter of the Elm and Old Gold. Hall died at his home in Glencoe, Illinois, at the age of 96." This Article was written by Christy Venham, e-WV - The West Virginia Encyclopedia www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/123 Books by Granville Davisson Hall: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2334369.Granville_Davisson_Hall The following is a synopsis from Abebooks.com of Granville Davisson Hall's book "The Rending of Virginia" When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, its western residents were outraged and formed a separate state two years later, introducing political upheaval into already tumultuous times. Men like Granville Davisson Hall sought to throw off the shackles of a slaveholding aristocracy and to revitalize their regions economy in the process. Hall's account of those events, which first appeared when the birth of West Virginia was still a living memory, takes modern readers back to those turbulent days. An active participant in the statehood movement and West Virginia's second Secretary of State (1865-1867), Hall recorded all the proceedings of the loyalist constitutional convention and preserved every printed document from that assembly. He gathered those materials, along with reminiscences of the men involved in the secession effort, into a book, originally published in 1901, that offers first-hand insights into the personalities and politics of the day. A passionately pro-Union account, The Rending of Virginia sheds light on how those individuals perceived current events and offers an insider's analysis of their interactions. Hall's acquaintance with so many leading politicians also allowed him to make telling corrections to their own self-serving accounts of those events. John Stealey's introduction to this classic work provides a biographical sketch of Hall and places him within the broader social and political context of dissent in western Virginia. He also shows how modern scholars can benefit from Hall's unabashedly partisan viewpoint, noting that Hall's knowledge of individuals and families can help us better understand the regional politics of that era. This reissue of The Rending of Virginia provides today's readers with a unique collection of primary source materials not otherwise available while offering a fresh perspective on slavery and economics in antebellum Virginia. It remains one of the most thorough and multidimensional studies of secession and statehood and helps us fully grasp the histories of two states. ***** About the Author: The Author: Granville Davisson Hall (1837-1934), served as West Virginia secretary of state and later became editor of the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer. He was also the author of Lee s Invasion of Northwest Virginia (1911) and a novel, Daughter of the Elm (1899). John Edmund Stealey III is professor of history at Shepherd College and author of The Antebellum Kanawha Salt Business and Western Markets. | HALL, Granville Davisson (I99591)
