| 6101 | Although his obituary gives his age as 66 and states that he was born in Smithburg on March 3 1914, his 1941 marriage record gives his age as 21 and states that he was born in Wetzel County on March 25 1920. He was not present with his family for the 1920 Census, enumerated in Feb 1920. The family had moved to Doddridge County by the 1930 Census, where they were found in West Union District, location of Smithburg. Kinzy Swiger was found with his family in that census, age 10. In his marriage record of Feb 1953, he was age 33, birthplace Smithville, W.Va. This may have been a clerical error intended to be Smithburg, since the only Smithville in West Virginia is located in Ritchie County. His birth date is shown in the SSDI as March 25 1920. | SWIGER, Kinzy (I80647)
|
| 6102 | Although his obituary gives his birthplace as Harrisville WV, his first two marriage records state his birthplace as Weirton WV. | WILSON, Nile Junior "Pete" (I39620)
|
| 6103 | Although his obituary indicates burial in Law Chapel Cemetery in Lewis County, his headstone is located in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Harrison County. | MARSHALL, Benjamin David (I15729)
|
| 6104 | Although his obituary mentions only that Earl Pearcy "was a graduate of West Virginia University and played football on one of the early teams," it appears that he also played on, and was actually captain of, the WVU basketball team in about 1908. Records at WVU spell his name Earle Pearcy. https://static.wvusports.com/custompages/content/files/general/football_records.pdf http://wvustats.com/sport/football/player/1314 http://www.wvustats.com/sport/mbasketball/player/1314 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907%E2%80%9308_West_Virginia_Mountaineers_men%27s_basketball_team PHOTO: https://wvhistoryonview.org/catalog/018203 | PEARCY, Earl L. (I87579)
|
| 6105 | Although his obituary states burial in the Underwood Cemetery, "West Union WV Cemeteries" reports a headstone for Alvey & Angie Ash at the Masonic Cemetery. The obituary of Angie Baker Ash, which identified her late husband as Alvy Ash, indicated her own burial at the Masonic Cemetery, as does her death record. | ASH, Alva (I59351)
|
| 6106 | Although his obituary states that "he was twice married," census and marriage records indicate that Huey E. Asher was married four times. 1910 Census, Harrison Co, WV (Sardis District), enumerated on Apr 25 1910 on Elk Creek Road: Hughey E. Asher, 30, laborer on oil lease, married 6 yrs (2nd marriage); wife Lulu G, 24, married 6 yrs (1st marriage), mother of 3 children (all still living); dau Ruda P, 5; son Lurroddon (?), 3; son Burl D, 1y 3m. 1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Grant District), enumerated on Jan 17 1920: Hugh E. Asher, 40, driller of oil & gas wells; wife Edna L, 20; dau Reda P, 16; son Lee R, 14; son Burl D, 12; dau Ethel M, 6; son Wilford D, 3; son James R, 1. 1930 Census, Ritchie Co, WV (Clay District), enumerated on Apr 7 1930 at Tollgate: Hughie E. Asher, 50, pumper in oil fields; wife Reta P, 27; dau Bettie J, 3; dau Doris M, 6 months. 1940 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Grant District), enumerated on Apr 15 1940 at Morgans Run: H. E. Asher, 59, driller at Carnegie Gas Co; wife Reta, 39; dau Betty Joe, 12; dau Doris Marie, 10; dau Edwina, 8; dau Ruth Ann, 4; son Freddie Lyn, 1. | ASHER, Huey Ewing (I65064)
|
| 6107 | Although his obituary states that he died at his residence in Norton, his death record states that he died in a Barberton hospital. Additionally, his obituary indicates his birthplace as Clarksburg in Harrison County, but his birth record shows it as Ashley in Doddridge County. | SWIGER, Loran Clarence (I60307)
|
| 6108 | Although his obituary states that he died on Jan 5 2009, the Social Security Death Index shows it as Dec 1 2008. Circumstances of his death indicate that his death probably did occur in December. | HILEMAN, Lee Grant (I17976)
|
| 6109 | Although his obituary states that he was born on Dry Fork of Polk Creek in Lewis County, census records consistently show his birthplace as Maryland. | LOVETT, Jonas Thompson (I5774)
|
| 6110 | Although his obituary states that his death occurred at his residence in Doddridge County, there is a death record on file for him in Harrison County. | WINEMILLER, Ricky Blaine (I133034)
|
| 6111 | Although his wife's obituary states that he died in 1905, she appeared without him in the 1900 Census, marital status widowed, and the obituary reporting the Dec 1901 obituary of his son stated that he was the "three-year-old boy of the late Noah Weekley's." We have found no other evidence for the date of Noah Weekley's death. | WEEKLEY, Noah (I99098)
|
| 6112 | Although his WW II draft registration and Social Security records indicate his birthplace as Webster Springs in Webster County, his birth record (M. E. Johnson, son of Allen & E. J.) shows it as Palmer in Braxton County. | JOHNSON, Melvin Earl (I18972)
|
| 6113 | Although Home Knisley's military headstone application, his marriage record and his birth record itself all specify his birth date as Aug 7 1899, census records cast serious doubt on that date. He was not with his family in the 1900 Census, in which his mother's entry indicates that the four children in that census were all that she had had to that point. Similarly, he was age 9 in the 1910 Census, in which his mother's entry indicates that she had had a total of five children. The dates of the census enumerations could allow for a birth date of either Aug 7 1900 or 1901. | KNISLEY, Homer Judson (I112516)
|
| 6114 | Although identified as Noah Yeater in his birth record, in his 1907 marriage record, and in the 1910 Census, at some point he adopted the Ancell surname of his stepfather. He was listed as Noah Ancell in the censuses of 1900, 1930 & 1940, as Nortie C. Ancell in his first wife's 1931 death record, and as Noah C. Ancell in his 1933 marriage record and in his death record. 1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (McClellan District), enumerated on Apr 26 1910: Noah Yeater, 23, farmer, married 3 yrs; wife Susana, 20, mother of 2 children (1 still living); son Orval, 8 months. Noah was not found in the 1920 Census. His wife and children were enumerated as being co-located with her parents. 1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (McClellan District), enumerated on Jan 14 1920: Head of household Joseph Johnson, 66, truck farmer; wife Mary M, 51; dau Rachel, 20; son Samma, 18; son Hhomer, 13. Head of household Susanna Yeater, 30, married; son Orvil B, 10; son Keneth R, 9; son Clifford R, 6; dau Josephene, 4 yr 10 mo; son Burt, 3 mo (sic); son Burlin, 1 yr 8 mo. (NOTE: Son Burt's stated age is inconsistent with all other records and appears to be a clerical error.) 1930 Census, Monongalia Co, WV (Grant District), enumerated on Apr 18 1930: Noah C. Ancell, 45, coal miner, age 20 at time of first marriage; wife Susanna, 40, age 15 at first marriage; son Orville, 20, coal miner; son Kenneth R, 18, coal miner; son Rex C, 17, coal miner; dau Josephine, 15; son Bert, 14; son Burlin, 12; dau Madaline, 9; son Carl J, 6; son Roy R, 3 yr 10 mo. 1940 Census, Monongalia Co, WV (Grant District), enumerated on Apr 9 1940 at Hill Top - Tice Town Road: Noah Ancell, 57, coal miner; wife Gertrude, 40; dau Susan, 5. In this census, Noah's sons Carl (age 16) and Roy (14) were listed as "lodgers" in the household of Benjamin F. & Genevieve McMahon (ages 48 & 44) elsewhere in Monongalia County's Grant District. Son Bert was with the Army in Hawaii. | ANCELL, Noah Cecil (I86593)
|
| 6115 | Although identified by some sources as a "Captain," other reliable sources specify that this Alexander Gaston enlisted as a Private in Capt Aaron Rowley's company in John Brown's detachment of the Berkshire County militia on June 30 1777, and that he was discharged on July 26 1777, having "served twenty-seven days at Fort Ann, on an alarm at Ticonderoga." - See "Soldiers and Sailors of Massachusetts," Vol. VI, p. 306. In addition to the ten children given by other sources, Robert "Bob" Gaston of Longview WA, a direct descendant, also identifies an eleventh, Albert Gaston. Since this is Bob Gaston's direct line, we include it here. | GASTON, Alexander (I3053)
|
| 6116 | Although identified in his birth record as "Earnest Jr. Allman," he later was known only as Jerry. He was identified in his mother's obituary as "Ernest J. (Junior) Allman." But his name appears as "Jerry Jr. Allman" in his marriage record, as "Jerry Junior Allman" in the birth records of his children, as "Jerry Allman" in the Social Security Death Index and his wife's obituary, and as "Jerry E. Allman" on his grave marker. | ALLMAN, Ernest Junior "Jerry" (I18088)
|
| 6117 | Although identified in his marriage record and early census returns as David Bird, at some point he adopted the name Davis Byrd, changing both his given name and his surname. That is how he is identified on his headstone and in daughter Edith's death record. All other family members appear to have retained the spelling Bird. | BYRD, Davis (I49120)
|
| 6118 | Although Irving Chapin Barlett's names, birth-death dates, and death place appear on a shared family monument in the Bartlett plot at Elkview Masonic Cemetery in Clarksburg, a monument for him and his wife is located at his actual burial place in Louisville. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/91881803/irving-chapin-bartlett https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144652844/irving-chapin-bartlett | BARTLETT, Irving Chapin (I130023)
|
| 6119 | Although it is commonly reported that Hiram Knight's mother was Mary Shuttlesworth, his father Joshua Knight's first wife, discrepancies in her reported 1845 death date and Hiram's June 1847 (or June 1846 in the 1900 Census) birth date call that into question. With Joshua's remarriage to Mary Modesitt occurring in August 1847, she could be either Hiram's mother or stepmother. | KNIGHT, Hiram Joshua (I120713)
|
| 6120 | Although Lida (Pinell) Vincent is listed with her family in the 1880 Census of Doddridge County (enumerated on 21 Jun 1880, the Federal Census Mortality Schedule for that year indicates that she had died the previous November. Each of the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1850-1880 included a mortality schedule enumerating the individuals who had died in the year previous to the census year. In addition, each individual is linked to the census image on which they appear. [Ancestry.com] | PINELL, Lida Arthelia (I10474)
|
| 6121 | Although Lucian and Lillie did not have children of their own, they raised the two surviving children (Frankie Alice and Edwin Jean) of Lucian's brother Edwin following the death of Edwin's wife Nellie. | Family: Lucian Dewane LOWTHER / Lillie May FORD (F17269)
|
| 6122 | Although many researchers report Oldridge (or Aldridge) Ford to be a son of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Dye, we have found no evidence to support that. When Thomas Ford died in 1860, his will listed eight surviving children, none of whom was Oldridge. The death record of Oldridge Ford identified his father as Richard Ford, mother not given. | FORD, Oldridge (I68136)
|
| 6123 | Although marriage record states birth date as Sep 6 1919, her age was given as 7 in the 1930 Census. | CLEVENGER, Ruth Naomi (I51509)
|
| 6124 | Although marriage records of at least two of her children identify their parents as Emogean Enlow and Clarence Rheinhardt, there is no evidence in census or other records that she was ever married to anyone before Dennis Seckman. Rather, her own birth record identifes her own father as Clarence Rheinhardt. | ENLOW, Emogean Eileen (I59031)
|
| 6125 | Although Minnie Davis's birth date in given in the 1900 Census as July 1868, the birth record for Minna Davis (dau of C. C. & Mollie V. Davis) shows that she ws born on 3 June 1868. | DAVIS, Minnie (I134814)
|
| 6126 | Although Minnie Kendall Lowther in "History of Ritchie County," p. 14, reports their marriage date as about 1809, which would conform to the 1810 birth date that she incorrectly reports for their oldest child Andrew, Harrison County marriage records show that Robert Lowther married Polly Hattabaugh (or Radabaugh or Hallebaugh, the handwritten record being barely legible) on Mar 21 1815. Linder, in "Gibson and Related Families," p. 442, also reports an 1815 marriage date and shows Andrew's birth date as about 1816, conforming to his age 44 given in 1860 Census. | Family: Robert L. LOWTHER / Mary "Polly" HATTABAUGH (F12552)
|
| 6127 | Although Minnie Kendall Lowther in "Ritchie County in History and Romance" (p. 279) states that Alzetta Bee, daughter of Ezekiel Bee & Moria Johnson, died young, and "Ritchie County Cemeteries" reports an undated headstone for Alzetta Bee at the Pine Grove Cemetery in Berea, "Ritchie County Marriages" shows that on Nov 14 1877, Alzetta Bee, 23, born in Doddrige Co, res. Ritchie Co, dau of Ezekiel & Maria, married Robert P. Holbert. Susie Davis Nicholson's "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 357, reports that Alzetta Bee was born Aug 14 1850, a twin to sister Emeretta. The 1860 Census of Ritchie County shows Alzetta Bee as a 10-year-old daughter in the household of Ezekiel & Moriah Bee. No death record has been found for her, but she presumably died before Dec 1881, the date of her husband's remarriage. | BEE, Alzetta (I29730)
|
| 6128 | Although most records, including his birth record, give his birth date as May 1 1901, it appears that he was actually born one year earlier. The 1900 Census of this family includes an unnamed son born in May 1900, and in his World War I draft registration, he states his birth date as May 1 1900. | MEEK, Jeffory Simon (I52800)
|
| 6129 | Although no marker or record of his burial has been found, it is presumed that William Sutton Davis is buried in the same cemetery as his daughter Harriet, who died in the same tornado that took his own life. | DAVIS, William Sutton (I49311)
|
| 6130 | Although not proven, family legend says that Thomas and Marilla Balis only had one son, Peter Earl Balis, and that Pete was not Marilla's biological son, but rather what is referred to in the mountains as a "woods colt." Thomas and Marilla's tombstone is inscribed under their own names with the phrase "and children." Although census records indicate otherwise, perhaps they had children that were stillborn or died in infancy. 1900 Census, Jackson Co, WV (Ravenswood District), enumerated on Jun 1 1900: Thomas Balis, 40, b. Sep 1859 in Ohio (both parents b. Ohio), farmer, married 12 yrs; wife Morilla, 45, b. Feb 1855 in Ohio (both parents b. Virginia), married 12 yrs, mother of 1 child (still living); son Peter E, 7, b. Dec 1892 in WVa. 1910 Census, Jackson Co, WV (Ravenswood District), enumerated on Apr 27 1910: Thomas Balis, 53, b. Ohio (both parents b. Ohio), farmer, married 23 yrs; wife Berilla, 58, b. Ohio (both parents b. Ohio), married 23 yrs, mother of 1 child (still living); son Peter E, 18, b. WVa, single, farm laborer. | Family: Thomas BALIS / Marilla COOPER (F53696)
|
| 6131 | Although obituary states birth date as Jun 23 1848, age 62y 4m 5d reported in obituary would actually put birth date at Jun 22 1848. Immediate family had long believed it to be Jun 13 1848, basis unknown. Age given at death in death record would put birth date at May 22 1848. Headstone gives only the year 1848. | WATSON, Mary (I39)
|
| 6132 | Although other researchers allow that only Alexander Gaston's (b. 1702) four oldest children emigrated to America, at least one, Edward H. Couey of Scotts Mills, OR, contends that all six did so, settling in Chester and York Counties, SC. As he cites specific circumstances for this, we provide that information under this Alexander's son Alexander (b. ca 1750). | GASTON, Alexander (I3779)
|
| 6133 | Although other researchers report her death date as Aug 18 1898, and her headstone also bears the death year 1898, Rebecca Nutter Miller of Oxford is shown on the 1890 Veterans Survey in Southwest District of Doddridge County as being the widow of Civil War veteran Andrew Miller. Military records also show that she filed for a widow's pension on Aug 4 1888, two weeks after Andrew's death. We have found no death record for her. | NUTTER, Rebecca (I33195)
|
| 6134 | Although other sources report her death place as Ritchie County, her obituary states that she died "at her home in Salem." | HALL, Lucinda (I32404)
|
| 6135 | Although record of marriage in Oct 1919 states age as 41 (b. ca 1878) and birthplace as Ritchie County, obituary reports birthdate as Apr 30 1874 in Doddridge County. | MCNEMAR, Margaret Ellen "Maggie" (I760)
|
| 6136 | Although records and his headstone show his first name as Alva, he actual name was Alvia Allen Dodd. His nickname was "Big Al" because he was not too big, but he did a lot of wrestling at all fairs throughout West Virginia and Ohio.. | DODD, Alva Allen (I23458)
|
| 6137 | Although records, including her birth record, consistently show her birth date as 1869, she was not enumerated with her family in the 1870 Census. | BASSEL, Ellen Graham (I125190)
|
| 6138 | Although she died on Jan 4 1920, she is listed in the 1920 Census of Elkins, Randolph County, as a member of the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Levara and John Stewart. The enumeration was conducted on Jan 14 1920 and calls for the names of all household members as of January 1st. | LANHAM, Mary M. (I110505)
|
| 6139 | Although she shares a headstone with her husband in the Elview Masonic Cemetery in Clarksburg, Findagrave reports that she is actually buried with her son John Paul Boggess (1861-1883) in the Lumberport Lions Cemetery. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59803543/maria-antoinette-boggess | WHEELER, Maria Antoinette (I135784)
|
| 6140 | Although she was married to Peter Dumont, Naomi Gaston's three children are listed in Max Perry's Gaston Genealogy with the surname Gaston, and her two sons' children continued to carry the Gaston name. Perry's source for this was not stated, and it was likely the result of incorrect data entry. Census data show that those children and grandchildren in fact carried the Dumont name. 1870 Census, Somerset Co, NJ (Branchburgh Twp), enumerated on Aug 13 1870: Peter Dumont, 26, farmer; Neomia Dumont, 24; John Dumont, 1; Mariah Dumont, 65. All born in New Jersey. 1880 Census, Somerset Co, NJ (Branchburgh Twp), enumerated on Jun 9 1880: Peter Dumont, 36, town clerk; wife Naomi Dumont, 34; son John G. Dumont, 10; dau Cora Dumont, 8; son Oliver P. Dumont, 6 months (b. Jan); mother Maria, 74. All born in New Jersey. | Family: Peter DUMONT / Naomi GASTON (F1624)
|
| 6141 | Although some name variations have been found, the spelling "Hubbert" appears to be correct. | STARCHER, Hubbert (I15207)
|
| 6142 | Although the 1860 Census states his birthplace as Louisanna (sic), both the 1850 Census and his son William's death record indicate that he was born in France. | TACY, Randolph Bernard (I64576)
|
| 6143 | Although the birth date on his headstone is 1886, his birth date in the 1900 Census is Nov 1884. But his WW I draft registration shows it as 9 Nov 1885, while his death record states 19 Nov 1885. His mother died in Nov 1885 from complications of childbirth. His birthplace is given in marriage record as Pleasants County, but in death record as Ritchie County. | RIGGS, William Porter (I92425)
|
| 6144 | Although the birth date on his headstone is 1896, it appears that Raymond Pearcy was actually born in 1894. The 1900 Census shows his birth date as March 1894, and age 16 in the 1910 Census also puts it in about 1894. His WW I draft registratin specifies his birth date as March 4 1894. However, in his WW II draft registration and in his death record, his birth date is indicated as March 4 1896. There is no original record of his birth. Rather, the only record of his birth is a delayed entry filed by his aunt Cora Orrahood Irons in February 1954, and it indicates a birth date of March 4 1896. Under these circumstances, and in conjunction with the verified birth dates of his siblings, it appears that the 1894 birth date is more reliable. | PEARCY, Raymond K. (I24417)
|
| 6145 | Although the birth date on his headstone is 1897, and the 1900 Census has is as Oct 1897, his birth record shows that he was born on 19 Oct 1896 at Franks Run, located near the community of Center Point, Doddridge County, WV. The 19 Oct 1896 birth date also appears in his military records and on his death record. | DAVIS, Lynn Marion (I90033)
|
| 6146 | Although the birth date on his headstone is correct, death date 12 Sep 1930 is incorrect by a large margin. His death record show that he died on 28 Nov 1927. age 1y 2m 28d. | FORRESTER, Ralph Denver (I23161)
|
| 6147 | Although the county-level death record is filed in Harrison County, the state-level death certificate shows that the death occurred nearby in Greenbrier District of Doddridge County. | HUGHES, Tacy Anna (I75596)
|
| 6148 | Although the death date on his flat grave marker is 1863, and the death date on the monument shared with his wife is Dec 27 1863, it appears that his actual death date was in December 1862. His will, written on March 8 1862, was submitted for probate on January 26 1863, referring to him as "Ralph Smith, deceased." His will indicates that he was predeceased by children Elizabeth and John. (Doddridge County Will Book 1, page 43) The type and condition of Ralph Smith's gravestones indicate that they were probably placed long after his death. Local death records during the Civil War period are sparse, and we have not found one for him. | SMITH, Ralph (I97772)
|
| 6149 | Although the death date on his headstone is 1914, his death record and obituary (in the Feb 4 1915 issue of the West Union Herald) show that it occurred on January 29 1915. | MOORE, Valentine T. (I96387)
|
| 6150 | Although the death date on his headstone is clearly July 27 1871, with age given as 82y 2m 3d, Jonathan Howell's military records reflect a death date of June 1872. Adding to the confusion, according to "Soldiers of War of 1812 Buried in Shelby County" ( http://ohshelby.ancestralsites.com/war1812.html ), he was born on June 24 1788 in Loudoun Co, Virginia, and died on July 27 1870 in Shelby Co, Ohio. This conforms to records showing that his will was written and probated on 18 Oct 1870. | HOWELL, Jonathan (I100583)
