| 5864 | Alexander Gaston, along with his brothers, John and William, went to County Antrim in Northern Ireland between 1662 and 1668, during the time of the persecution of Protestants in Scotland. Alexander Gaston left many descendants in and around Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland. One of them was a certain Miss Gaston of Killycowan, who was reportedly the great-grandmother of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur. (Exact lineage not specified, has never been determined, and the connection is considered tenuous at best. The genealogy of President Chester A. Arthur can be found at various websites, including our own treatment at www.doddridgecountyroots.com/register/arthur.htm ) | GASTON, Alexander (I1111)

|
| 5866 | Alexander Hamilton Wright, author of "The Descendants of Veach Williams," goes to great lengths to dispel a significant error in an earlier widely circulated Williams genealogy. He provides detailed compelling evidence for his conclusion, summarized as follows: In "Genealogy and History of Family of Williams" by Stepen West Williams, M.D., published in Greenfield, Massachusetts in 1847, Ebenezer Williams is assumed to be the son of Park Williams, who was the son of Robert Williams' son Samuel. This assumption is wholly erroneous. Examination of the wills of Park, Ebenezer, William (brother of Ebenezer), and Isaac; of gravestone inscriptions; and of early town and church records of Boston, Roxbury, Newton, Lebanon and Mansfield, conclusively show Ebenezer to have been the son of Capt. Isaac Williams, who was son of Isaac, who was son of Robert of Roxbury. | WILLIAMS, Ebenezer (I73045)

He mustered in on 23 Aug 1862 in Wheeling, and mustered out on 27 Jun 1865 in Cumberland, Maryland. His military records show that he was a farmer, with physical description 5'11" tall, blue eyes, light hair, fair complexion. He was documented as being on guard duty at Piedmont, Va., in March 1863. In April and May 1863, he was on guard duty at Rawlings Station, Maryland, on the B&O Railroad. | KNIGHT, Alexander (I80529)
|
| 5868 | Alexander Lowther was a Private in Captain John Bozarth's 5th Regiment Virginia Militia. On 30 Oct 1850, Alexander Lowther stated that he was drafted into Captain John Bozarth's 5th Regiment Virginia Militia in Clarksburg on 1 Sept 1814 for a six-month tour. He was honorably discharged at Fort Nelson, Norfolk, Va on 9 Dec 1814 after furnishing a substitute for the remainder of his tour. His military file also shows that Alexander and Rachel were married in West Union, Harrison County by Samuel Archbold. However, their marriage record is on file in Tyler County. Alexander Lowther's physical description at time of draft: 5'9", blue eyes, fair complexion, light hair, farmer living in Harrison County, Va. Rachel stated that they always resided in Ritchie County (Oxford) after their marriage. | LOWTHER, Alexander J. (I31179)

| 5875 | Allen Kendall Jones Allen Kendall Jones died at home on November 3, 2021, surrounded by his beloved wife, Donna Flatch Jones; son, Jeff Jones; and dearest friends, Taia and Gary. His friends and loved ones were a comfort to him as he struggled with pancreatic cancer. Allen was born on December 17, 1947 in Fairmont, West Virginia to Celia Marie Hall and John Paul Jones. Though Allen spent most of his adult life in Silicon Valley and Sonoma, California, he was constantly mindful of his remarkable childhood in mid-century West Virginia; especially his adventures around the family property, known locally as The Hilltop. Allen's conservation-minded family loved the beauty of nature and managed their land accordingly, balancing preservation of habitat with productivity. Allen credited his mother, Marie, a founding member of the West Virginia Nature Conservancy chapter, with instilling in him a lifelong commitment to environmental concerns. Later in life he combined an engineer's fact-based perspective with a persistence in his volunteer efforts. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he raised awareness of global climate change, strived to reduce his personal carbon footprint, promoted regional land conservation, and managed efficient water systems for his community. It was with special pride that Allen continued to champion his family's stewardship of many acres of old growth Appalachian forest. His perseverance culminated in deeding this land to the West Virginia Land Trust in honor of his mother. https://www.wvlandtrust.org/rec-access/marie-hall-jones-ancient-forest-preserve/ His was a close-knit extended family. He was devoted to his brother John, sixteen years his elder, following in his footsteps to Cornell University, where they both earned degrees in chemical engineering. Allen later earned his MBA from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. The curiosity, rigor, writing skills, and intelligence Allen brought to bear during his education continued to serve him throughout a successful career. He rose to the position of Vice President and Treasurer (later VP and Controller) at Varian, one of the founding companies of Silicon Valley. He later served as Chief Financial Officer of two startups, and helped to take a company public. Allen's marriage to Donna in 1991 was the great joy of his life. After retiring in 2000, he relished working alongside her to design and build their own hilltop home in California's wine country. There, he again exercised his inquisitive spirit, and perseverance to maintain their house and land. Allen had an adventurous streak. He fueled his zeal for new horizons by exercising regularly, working outdoors, and cherishing world travel with his wife. He was an avid back-packer and skier, sharing memorable trips with his two sisters, their families, and his son. His intelligence, humor, hard work, kindness, and excellence with the written word will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Allen is predeceased by his parents and his brother John. He is survived by his wife Donna, his son Jeffrey Allen Jones and stepson Richard Rodgers, daughters-in-law Alicia Morrison Jones and Tammy Wright, sisters Cynthia Marie Springer and Nancy Annara Homeyer, brother-in-law William Homeyer and his grandchildren Alexis, Ransom, Dominic, Oliver and Nikolai. He was predeceased also by his gentle and friendly Lab, Duke of Earl.
