| 6001 | Although Doddridge County birth records reflect that Aubrey Glen Hutson was born in Cascara on Sep 14 1914, his obituary states Sep 14 1918, the date on his headstone is Sep 1918, his birth year at the time of his Army enlistment was 1918, and his age in the 1920 Census was 1 yr 3 mo. | HUTSON, Aubrey Glen (I47292)
|
| 6002 | Although Doddridge County death records indicate place of death as Oxford in Doddridge County, her obituary states place of death as "the Kessler Hospital, Clarksburg." | GRAY, Eliza E. (I33354)
|
| 6003 | Although Doddridge County did not see any full-blown battles during the Civil War, there was a noteworthy "skirmish" that occurred in West Union on May 6, 1863. By that time in the Civil War, Confederate officers realized that the best way to cut off Union supplies and communications was to disable the B&O railroad. Under the command of Generals William E. Jones and John D, Imboden, Confederate forces were sent out to destroy bridges and tunnels all along the railroad that was referred to as "Lincolns lifeline" because of its importance in conveying troops and supplies. One local soldier who encountered the Jones-Imboden raid here in West Union was Joseph Stillman Jeffrey. Joseph was born May 6, 1838 in Doddridge County, the son of Joseph Jeffrey, Jr. and Tacy Davis. He enlisted on May 2, 1863 in Company A of Captain Josiah H. Bees 180th Militia Home Guard. He survived the Jones-Imboden Raid at West Union (on his 25th birthday), only to be accidentally shot with a musket on May 14, 1863. We do not know the circumstances surrounding the accident, only that he died from this wound the next day. Flavius Josephus Ashburn wrote about Josephs death in his diary. "On Thursday the 14th Stillman Jeffrey was accidentally shot through with a musket. After enduring excessive agony, until sometime in the night he expired." This is the only documentation we have for the circumstances of Joseph Stillman Jeffreys death. If not for that diary, Josephs story would have been lost in history. Although his headstone can no longer be located, we know from earlier cemetery readings that he is buried in the Seventh Day Baptist section of the Blockhouse Hill Cemetery in West Union.

|
| 6004 | Although enumerated as a married couple in the 1940 Census, Samuel Roderick and Leona Hyde were not married until April 1941. | Family: Clarence Samuel "Sam" RODERICK / Opal Leona HYDE (F52222)
|
| 6005 | Although enumerated as a member of his parents' household, a notation indicated that he was absent. | CONAWAY, Roy H. (I95866)
|
| 6006 | Although Findagrave and Ramage's "Doddridge County Cemeteries" report a birth date of Oct 24 1828, it is likely that the correct date is Oct 1832. That is the date given in the 1900 Census, and ages given in the 1850 thru 1880 censuses consistently indicate a birth date between 1831 and 1833. The Oct 1832 date also consistent with his parents' January 1832 marriage date. 1900 Census: age 67, b. Oct 1832 1880: age 48 = b. 1832 1870: age 39 - b. 1831 1860: age 27 = b. 1833 1850: age 19 = b. 1831 | GALLIEN, James (I88355)
|
| 6007 | Although Findagrave indicates that her grave is unmarked, Ramage's "Doddridge County Cemeteries Vol 1," p. 51, reports the presence of a temporary tin marker at the time of the cemetery reading. Name on the marker was Lilly Davis, birth/death dates 1884-1957. There was also a temporary tin marker for her husband, name Arley O. Davis, birth/death dates 1891-1957. | BALL, Lillie Myrtle (I57088)
|
| 6008 | Although Findagrave reports burial at Creel Cemetery in Davisville, a double headstone with her husband is located at Rockland Cemetery in Belpre. | JACKSON, Georgianna (I67370)
|
| 6009 | Although Harrison County Birth Records show a birth date of Jun 13 1913, his obituary and "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 267, state his birth date as Jun 21 1913, while the Social Security Death Index reports it as Jun 25 1913. | HUSK, Paul James (I1898)
|
| 6010 | Although he had no formal training, "Dice" Husk was an accomplished musician, playing many instruments well. He also taught music, gave music lessons in his home, and wrote many songs. The family and many of their friends spent evenings at the Husk home in Summers, Doddridge County, playing instruments and singing. Dice and wife Lora were members of men's and women's quartets, respectively, which traveled the area and sang gospel music. | HUSK, Morris Fordyce "Dice" (I2256)
|
| 6011 | Although he is identified by the surname Robison in his obituary and death record, Robinson is found in his marriage record, in the marriage record of his parents, and in the marriage record of his daughter. | ROBISON, George Porter (I61790)
|
| 6012 | Although he was listed with his family in the 1920 Census of Doddridge County, enumerated on Jan 13 1920, Rolly Ash at that time was actually a patient in the Base Hospital at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. The enumeration at the hospital, conducted on Jan 16 1920, listed as one of the patients: Rolly Ash, 24, b. WVa (both parents b. WVa), single, stationary engineer. | ASH, Rolly Lee (I78983)
|
| 6013 | Although he was never able to attend a college of any kind, Edwin Maxwell pursued the study of law under the direction of a friend who was a practicing attorney. He passed the bar exam and was admitted to the bar at West Union, Doddridge County, in 1848. He served two terms as prosecuting attorney of Doddridge County, and in 1857 began practicing law in Clarksburg. He became a member of the well-known law firm of Despard, Maxwell & Goff. He was chairman of the judiciary committee in the First State Senate of West Virginia in 1863, and in 1866 was appointed Attorney General by Governor Boreman. He was judge of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals from 1867 to 1873, and in 1884 was the Republican Party's candidate for governor, unsuccessful in the Democratic landslide that year. In 1888 he was elected to the State Senate, serving two terms, and was later elected to the State House of Delegates, where he was serving at the time of his death. | MAXWELL, Edwin (I34291)
|
| 6014 | Although headstone gives birth date as Apr 4 1851, death record states Apr 4 1852, and age 21 at time of 1873 marriage would also put birth date in 1852. | PERINE, Columbus David (I13936)
|
| 6015 | Although her 1975 obituary and her husband's 1941 death record indicate burial at the Sharon Cemetery in Kanawha County, their headstones are located at Pineview Cemetery in Boone County. | WILLIAMS, Rachel Ellen (I83290)
|
| 6016 | Although her age in her marriage record and in the 1910 thru 1930 censuses would put her birth in about 1884/85, the 1900 Census shows it as May 1880, and her death record states May 1 1880. | HAMRICK, Clara Belle (I78701)
|
| 6017 | Although her age in the 1870 Census is 1, her birth date is consistently shown elsewhere as Oct 22 1867. | SEEDERS, Elizabeth Ellen (I105412)
|
| 6018 | Although her birth date is entered in her birth record as Jul 20 1880, which is in keeping with age 17 given in her 1897 marriage record, there are discrepancies that call that into question. In the 1900 Census, her birth date is given as Nov 1881, age 18. However, she appeared in the 1880 Census, enumerated 25 Jun 1880, age 9 months. Birth date on headstone is 1880. | COLLINS, Joanna Lyvinia (I20453)
|
| 6019 | Although her birth date is given in her marriage and Social Security records as 9 April 1876, the 1880 Census shows her age as 8 months, with birth month specified as April. Her death record incorrectly states her birth date as May 1874 | THOMPSON, Ida Louise (I115684)
|
| 6020 | Although her birth date is given in her marriage record and in Social Security records as 16 Nov 1928, and the date on her headstone is also 1928, her birth record shows that she was born in 1929. In the 1930 Census, her age was entered as 4/12 (four months). For much of her life, she was known by the name Helen. In the 1930 and 1940 censuses, she was listed as Helen Collins, and in the 1950 Census and her father's obituary as Helen Hendrickson. But she was identified as Sarah Ann Collins in both her birth record and marriage record, and as Sarah Hendrickson in the Social Security Death Index. | COLLINS, Sarah Ann "Helen" (I139263)
|
| 6021 | Although her birth date is given in the Social Security Death Index as 12 Nov 1915, and the date on her headstone is also 1915, her birth record shows her birth date as 12 Nov 1914. She seems to have been named for the physician who delivered her, Xenia E. Bond. | FLESHER, Xenia Fluence (I30208)
|
| 6022 | Although her birth date is stated in her death record as Sep 25 1867, the 1900 Census gives it as March 1868. But her marriage record and other census records consistently put her birth in about 1868. She was age 3 in the 1870 Census and age 12 in 1880. The birth date on her headstone appears to be 1861, or possibly 1881, both of which are clearly at variance with the records. | DAILEY, Nancy Ellen (I127044)
|
| 6023 | Although her birth record shows her birth date as 24 Jun 1919, other records, including her marriage, military and death records, consistently show it as 20 Jun 1919. | JENKINS, Frances June (I138634)
|
| 6024 | Although her death is recorded in Harrison County, the record states that her place of death was Doddridge County, age 53, married. Burial place indicated as Garrett Graveyard, Harrison Co, on 20 Jul 1896, cause of death consumption. | GARRETT, Martha Ann (I100251)
|
| 6025 | Although her death record gives her birth place as Kentucky, the censuses of 1860, 1870 and 1880 all show it as Virginia. | KING, Elizabeth (I955)
|
| 6026 | Although her death record gives her burial location as Pullman in Ritchie County, her headstone is located at Oak Ridge Cemetery in South Boston, Virginia. | BANE, Lola (I127766)
|
| 6027 | Although her death record indicates burial at Kyle Cemetery in Marion County, there is a headstone for her at Martin (Smith) Cemetery in Eldora, Marion County. The birth date on her headstone is 1876, but her birth and death record show that she was born on Dec 5 1877. Similarly, the death date on her headstone is 1930, but her death record shows that she died on Sep 17 1931. | GREGORY, Henrietta "Etta" (I84567)
|
| 6028 | Although her death record indicates burial at McKim Cemetery in Wick, and her obituary states that "Funeral services will be held at McKim," a transcription of burials in the McKim Cemetery at the Tyler County Cemeteries website does not show her grave as being there. Rather, there is a marker reported for her and her husband in the Freeman-Coleman Cemetery at Crystal Lake, West Union. | SMITH, Lenora (I65038)
|
| 6029 | Although her death record indicates that she died at West Union Star Route, West Union District, Doddridge County, her obituary states that she "died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jasper Scott, of Wilbur." Wilbur is in Tyler County, near the county line with Doddridge. Her death record incorrectly states her birthplace as Tyler County rather than Greene Co Pa., and also incorrectly identifies her father as Jacob Dye rather than Samuel Dye. Informant for her death record was her grandson Dewey Gail Scott. | DYE, Sarah (I69101)
|
| 6030 | Although her death record reflects a death date of Nov 24 1916, her obituary, published in the "West Union Record" of Thursday, Dec 28 1916, states that she died "last Wednesday at Greenwood." That would reflect a death date of Dec 20 1916. If the Wednesday reference is accurate, the Nov 24th date is incorrect, since Nov 24 1916 fell on a Thursday. Given these factors, and since it is unlikely that a local obituary would be printed a full month after a death, it is more likely that the death record is in error and that the Dec 20th death date is correct. | MEANS, Caroline (I44224)
|
| 6031 | Although her death record states her age as 21, born in 1919 in Calhoun County, her headstone shows her birthdate as 1918, and her marriage record states her birthplace as Harrison County. | BURROWS, Madeline (I2010)
|
| 6032 | Although her death record states her birth as Jul 12 1840 in Doddridge County, census records consistently put her birth between 1843 and 1845 in (West) Virginia.. In her October 1859 marriage record (in which she was identified as Margaret A. Stutler, daughter of D.R. & Caroline Stutler), her age was given as 16, birthplace Harrison County. | STUTLER, Martha A. (I86971)
|
| 6033 | Although her death record states her place of birth as Doddridge County, the records of both of her marriages show that she was born in Gilmer County. The 1900 Census lists her age as 45 and birth date as May 1855. Death record states burial location as Pleasant Valley Cemetery, more commonly known as Spurgeon Cemetery, located at Bear Fork on the Doddridge/Gilmer county line. | SPURGEON, Finanda Columbia (I16205)
|
| 6034 | Although her death record states her place of burial as Bridgeport, WVa (Harrison County), there is a headstone for her at the Union Baptist Cemtery in Simpson, Taylor County. | RUSSELL, Sarah Elizabeth (I127664)
|
| 6035 | Although her death record states place of death as Wick, Tyler County, it is likely that it was actually at her residence in nearby McKim. | SMITH, Lenora (I65038)
|
| 6036 | Although her death record states that burial was in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, near Zinnia, there is a marker for her and her husband at Kinney Cemetery. | WILLIAMS, Cassa Ann (I43697)
|
| 6037 | Although her death record states that she died in Wallace, Sardis District, Harrison County on Nov 7 1918, her obituary (Doddridge County Republican, Thursday, Nov 21 1918) specifies that she died on Friday, Nov 15 1918, at Pike Fork, which is located near the Harrison County line in McClellan District of Doddridge County. Cause of death was an accidental gunshot inflicted by her cousin Emza Shields. | UNDERWOOD, Blondia (I94543)
|
| 6038 | Although her home had a rural mailing address of Smithfield, Wetzel County, it was physically located at Franks Run in Doddridge County. | UNDERWOOD, Joanna (I71205)
|
| 6039 | Although her marriage record indicates her birthplace as Logan County, West Virginia, census and other records consistently show her birthplace as the state of Virginia. | RITCHIE, Arlie Hannah (I139338)
|
| 6040 | Although her marriage record states her birthplace as Marion County, West Virginia, and census record also indicate West Virginia, the birth record of her son Marion Lynn Davis shows his mother's birthplace as Highland County, Virginia. This is verified by Highland County birth records, which show that Sarah Page was born there on 21 Apr 1865, daughter of Mary Page, father not listed. | PAGE, Sarah Clona (I70674)
|
| 6041 | Although her name is entered in her birth record as Virginia Hassig, all other records show or given name as Jennie or sometimes Jenny. The name on her headstone is Jennie S. Mullett. | HASSIG, Jennie S. (I128870)
|
| 6042 | Although her name is widely reported as Margaret Benton, documentation is lacking. There is speculation among some researchers, based mainly on circumstantial evidence, that her surname may actually have been Gaston. | ___, Margaret (I9502)
|
| 6043 | Although her obituary indicates buril in Blandville (presumably Blandville Cemetery), there is a headstone for her at Achbold Cemetery. | BOND, Eltha M. (I65494)
|
| 6044 | Although her obituary states her burial location as Freeman Cemetery, her death record and "West Union WV Cemeteries," p. 6, show it as Masonic Cemetery at Crystal Lake. | WILLIAMS, Esta M. (I41934)
|
| 6045 | Although her obituary states that she was born in Harrison County on 23 Sep 1933, her 1954 marriage record states that she was born on 21 Sep 1933 in Cresap, Marshall County, WV. The 21 Sep 1933 birth date is found in other public records as well. Her 1952 marriage record also shows her birthplace as Marshall County, and the West Virginia Births Index also indicates her birth as Marshall County in 1933. | HICKMAN, Evon Kathleen (I34175)
|
| 6046 | Although her obituary, death record and headstone show her birth date as Dec 1 1882, her age was given as 18 at the time of her Aug 1898 marriage, the 1900 Census shows her birth date as Dec 1879, the 1920 Census shows her age as 39 (b. 1880 if birth month Dec), and the 1930 Census shows her age as 49 (b. 1880 if birth month Dec). The 1880 Census of Doddridge County, enumerated on Jun 2 1880, identifies her as Lucretia Dotson, age 6 months, a daughter in the household of Joslin & Arasonah Dotson (both age 32), other children Mary E. Dotson (14) and Jenavie Dotson (6). Doddridge County birth records, in the form of a typed transcription of the original ledger record, shows that Lucretia Dotson was born to Jerlean & Arsaniah Dotson on Aug 3 1880, an impossibility in view of her presence the June 1880 Census. | DOTSON, Erma Lucretia "Credie" (I1700)
|
| 6047 | Although her parents were identified in her marriage record as Felix Wirt Cottrill & Susan V. Cottrill, she was listed in the 1900 Census of their household as a niece, Fay Cottrill. She was identified as a surviving sister in the 1946 obituary of Harry Arden "Tom" Davis Jr. | COTTRILL, Faye (I69928)
|
| 6048 | Although Herman Merritt's 1911 birth record clearly shows his parents as Albert Merritt and Rosa Sandy, it is documented in her death record and on her headstone that Rosa Sandy Merritt died in 1905. Herman was age 18 in the 1930 Census. | MERRITT, Herman William (I119403)
|
| 6049 | Although his 1941 death record and his wife's 1975 obituary indicate burial at the Sharon Cemetery in Kanawha County, their headstones are located at Pineview Cemetery in Boone County. | LAMP, Sanfran Cisco (I83289)
|
| 6050 | Although his age is shown on his headstone as 72, placing his birth in about 1834, this is in conflict with various records, which indicate his birth in the early to mid 1840s. The 1900 Census states his birth year as 1842, which is consistent with age 8 in the 1850 Census. His birthplace was given as Ritchie County in his daughter's death record, but as Lewis County in his own marriage record. He appeared in the 1850 Census of Lewis Count, age 8. Many variations of his name are found in the records. | PATTON, Hinton (I70558)
|
