| 6151 | Although the death is recorded in Doddridge County, obituary specifies location as being "at her home near Auburn," which is located in Ritchie County near the Doddridge County line. | HAYDEN, Hulda J. (I23804)
|
| 6152 | Although the death is recorded in Ritchie County, the place of death is reported as Oxford, which is just over the border in Doddridge County. | BRITTON, Brady Nelson (I12783)
|
| 6153 | Although the death record shows death date as Feb 23 1886, a second entry shows it exactly one year earlier, on Feb 23 1885. Death date on headstone is one day earlier, Feb 22 1886. In any event, an entry for him in found in the 1890 Veterans Census of Ritchie County. | NUTTER, Thomas E. (I22949)
|
| 6154 | Although the entry reads November, its sequence among the other entries would make December more likely. | Family: Harvey Frank HAUGHT / Daisy Alice COLLINS (F11821)
|
| 6155 | Although the following excerpt from the 1979 "History of Doddridge County," p. 247, states that Jonathan Spurgeon was born on Bear Fork, Doddridge County, documents and records of that time do not support that. He and his family were in Doddridge County at the time of the 1850 Census, but earlier records place them in Preston County. Jonathan's birthplace may have been in Preston County or somewhere in eastern Virginia, but it was not in present-day Doddridge County. "Johnithan (John) [Spurgeon], a frontiersman, was born on Bear Fork, Doddridge County. He located on Bull Run, near Masontown, Preston County. He had 6 boys and 3 girls. They moved from Bull Run to Tom's Fork, Doddridge County in the Pearcy Settlement. From there he came back to Bear Fork of Cove Creek where he resided until his death and was buried in the Boyce Cemetery (located on the Frank Schulte farm on Bear Fork) and was the first to be buried there, he and his wife. Their children were Phillip, Jesse, George, John, James and Jeremiah, sons, and Cathryn, Rachael and Mary Ann, the daughters." | SPURGEON, Jonathan (John) (I37227)
|
| 6156 | Although the headstone for George Washington Squires shows his death date as 1940, his obituary, appearing in the Jan 3 1940 edition of the Weston Independent, reports his death as occurring "Friday morning at a local hospital." That Friday would have been Dec 29 1939. Lewis County death records also show his death date as Dec 29 1939, so the headstone is clearly in error. It is noteworthy that his headstone is one that appears to have been put in place many years after his death and is shared with his wife and two of their children. | SQUIRES, George Washington (I6292)
|
| 6157 | Although the local undertaker filed a death record for him in Doddridge County, Charles Harshbarger's obituary states that he "died at the Ebenezer Sanitarium at Bush Colorado, Thursday, Nov. 18, 1915, aged 31 years." Correcting for typographical errors, the location of his death was more accurately Eben Ezer Sanitorium in Brush, Colorado. His middle initial appears to be A in the 1900 Census, and is also A in his obituary. But it's L in another version of his obituary, in the 1910 Census, and in his death record. www.ebenezer-cares.org/index.php?s=14552&item=13012 | HARSHBARGER, Charles (I98480)
|
| 6158 | Although the marriage date entered on the record is 11 Dec 1894, contextual clues (date of license, date of adjoining marriage record) lead to the conclusion that the entry was made in error, and that the actual marriage date was 11 Feb 1894. | Family: Wirt Burdell COURTNEY / Frances Jane ROMINE (F24081)
|
| 6159 | Although the marriage is recorded in Harrison County, the location is entered as Doddridge County. | Family: William WILLIAMS / Edith LYNCH (F40126)
|
| 6160 | Although the marriage is recorded in Monongalia County, the location is shown as West Union, Doddridge County. | Family: Denzel D. SMITH / Glenda Fay COWMAN (F8868)
|
| 6161 | Although the marriage license was issued in Harrison County and the marriage is recorded there, the ceremony was actually held at Big Flint in Doddridge County. | Family: Patrick Nile CURRAN / Lynda Janet Merrill GAIN (F5917)
|
| 6162 | Although the marriage license was issued on Jul 23 1903, there was no minister's return or endorsement to show that the marriage occurred. But birth records of their children would indicate that the marriage did take place. | Family: William MORRISON / Myrtle RILEY (F18880)
|
| 6163 | Although the marriage took place in Gilmer County, it is recorded in Doddridge County, residence of the bride. | Family: Morford Rondall "Jake" MCWILLIAMS / Wilda Gene SOUTHERN (F53923)
|
| 6164 | Although the spelling of Milton's surname is consistently found as Czigan, his descendants commonly spelled it Czigans. | CZIGAN, Milton C. (I31646)
|
| 6165 | Although the spelling this family's surname is found variously as Lasure and Leasure, the predominant form seems to be Lasure. | LASURE, Thomas Harvey (I102698)
|
| 6166 | Although the SSDI shows his birth date as Nov 19 1900, and his headstone also states 1900, his birth record shows his birth as Nov 19 1901. His military records also indicate Nov 19 1901 as his birth date. | HILEY, James Wilson (I13815)
|
| 6167 | Although the West Virginia Births Index gives his birth date as 2 Mar 1924, other records, including SSDI and his death record, show it as 12 Mar 1924. | EAKLE, Clifford Earl (I134610)
|
| 6168 | Although the West Virginia Births Index gives his birth date as 26 Feb 1922, all other records, including SSDI and his draft registration, show it as 27 Feb 1922. | EAKLE, Creed Benjamin (I134609)
|
| 6169 | Although there is a birth record on filed reflecting her birth as Dec 1 1929 in West Union, both her marriage record and Social Security records indicated Dec 31 1929 in Parkersburg. | GAIN, Ora Lee (I118551)
|
| 6170 | Although there is a large upright monument for her at the Williams Maxwell Family Cemetery in New Milton, where her husband is buried, the death date was never inscribed. Rather, there is a small flat marker for her at the Odd Fellows section of Blockhouse Hill Cemetery in West Union. The birth date on that flat marker is incorrectly inscribed as 1862. Her death record also shows her burial at "I.O.O.F., West Union." | MCGOWAN, Harriet Alverta "Vertie" (I42826)
|
| 6171 | Although there is a marker for her and her husband at the Michael Cemetery in Oxford, her obituary states that she was buried at South Fork Baptist Church Cemetery. | KELLEY, Addie (I42572)
|
| 6172 | Although there is a marker for her with her husband at Ruley Cemetery in Doddridge County, her burial was actually in Parkersburg Memorial Gardens (formerly IOOF Cemetery), as indicated in her death record and by her own grave marker there. | JOHNSTON, Anna Elizabeth (I12520)
|
| 6173 | Although there is a military grave marker for him at K of P Cemetery in Salem, this appears to have placed as a memorial rather than a grave marker. The American Battle Monuments Commission reports that he was Missing in Action and that there is a memorial for him at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl), Honolulu, HI. | HEFLIN, Joseph Lee (I109004)
|
| 6174 | Although this marriage is listed in "Doddridge County WV Marriages," obituary of wife states that they were married in Clarksburg, Harrison County. | Family: Anthony Smith FREEMAN / Mary Bird SMITH (F4004)
|
| 6175 | Although various records and her headstone show her to be several years younger, age 4 months in the 1860 Census (enumerated on Jul 21 1860), puts her birth in early 1860. She was age 9 in the 1870 Census. | DUTY, Phoebe Ellen (I100677)
|
| 6176 | Although various records show Stark Corley's birth date as 2 or 20 Nov 1900, this cannot be correct. He appeared with his family in the 1900 Census, enumerated in June 1900, with his age listed as 1 and his birth date as October 1898. He was age 10 in the 1910 Census. His birth date was given in his World War I draft registration as 4 Oct 1899. | CORLEY, Stark (I131728)
|
| 6177 | Although Veterans Administration records show his first term of military service to have been from June 1944 to June 1946, he also appeared in the class photo of the Doddridge County High School class of 1946. | GAINS, Donald Duane (I82992)
|
| 6178 | Although Wheeler Ingram's obituary indicates that he died in West Union, his death record shows that he died of a coronary occlusion at a saw mill camp in the Ritchie County portion of the community of Oxford (most of which is in Doddridge County). | INGRAM, Wheeler (I14063)
|
| 6179 | Although wife's marital status was given as widowed in the 1900 Census and in her death record, husband Lewis M. Hurst remarried in 1901. | Family: Lewis Marion HURST / Helen Matilda COWMAN (F27023)
|
| 6180 | Although William McClain's middle name had been widely reported as Dallas, and it is given as such in his daughter Hazel's obituary, there are many variations in the records. It is given as "Dow" in his Social Security application, as "Dowl" in in WW One draft registration, as "Dowel" in his death record, and curiously as "Daniel" in his WW 2 draft registration. In most records, only the middle initial "D" is found. Clarification is provided in his obituary, which spells out his middle name as "McDowell," leading to the conclusion that the other names were simply variations of the formal one. | MCCLAIN, William D. (I33323)
|
| 6181 | Although Wilson McKinney's obituary identifies him as a son of Joseph & Rose Jones McKinney, the 1930 Census of the Joseph & Rosa J. McKinney household listed him as a grandson, age 6-1/2. His marriage record identifies him as a son of Mrs. Joseph McKinney. Rosa Jones McKinney's obituary in 1949 lists nine surviving children, but Wilson was not mentioned. But he was listed as a surviving brother in brother Joey's obituary in 1976. | MCKINNEY, Wilson N. (I18811)
|
| 6182 | Alton Childers was a teacher for 40 years in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, with more than 20 years in West Virginia schools. One of the founders of the Doddridge County Historical Society, he authored a regular local history column, "Mostly About Ourselves," in the West Union newspaper. As a Navy Lieutenant in World War II, he received the Purple Heart for wounds received when his ship was torpedoed twice in the Fall of 1942. News item, "West Union Herald," Thursday, Jan 17 1946, front page, in its entirety: CHILDERS BUYS DOAK FARM Ora Doak of Smithburg, well-known merchant and farmer, has sold his 282-acre farm in that community to Alton Childers, school teacher, who recently received his discharge from the U.S. Navy. Childers paid $11,280.00 for the farm. He also purchased the farm machinery, sheep and part of the cattle. | CHILDERS, Alton James (I19084)
|
| 6183 | Always interested in the affairs of her community, she was particularly active in state and local politics. She had served many years as a member of the Harrison County Democratic Executive Committee, and at the time of her death was committeewoman for Suburban District. She had also served as vice president of the Harrison County Democratic Womans Club. Also interested in genealogy, she had traced her lineage back to the Revolutionary War, making her eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. | COX, Allie Geneva (I36052)
|
| 6184 | Always resided in the Freehold, New Jersey area. [Names and birth dates of second husband and their children obtained from "This Old Monmouth of Ours," by William S. Horner, p. 114. Names and birthdates of first husband and their children obtained from records at the Old Tennent Church, Monmouth Co, NJ.] | GASTON, Jane (I1094)
|
| 6185 | Amaziah Ashburn was captured 9 May 1864 at Cloyds Mountain while attending the wounded. | ASHBURN, Amaziah (I41341)
|
| 6186 | Ammi A. Brown was divorced from his third wife, Deborah S., in November 1894. Just over three years later, his marital status was listed as married on his Feb 1898 application to the Washington Soldiers Home. But on his March 1899 application to the Soldiers Home, his entry for marital status was "She has left me, I do not know where she is." Correspondence from his fourth wife Rachel A. Brown and others, found in his Soldiers Home file, shows that Ammi and Rachel were married on Jun 27 1895 in Tacoma, and that she left him in Spring 1898. A letter from her dated Sep 29 1899 indicates that she had not been informed of Ammi's death three months before, supporting his contention that she had deserted him. | Family: Ammi Almanzia BROWN / Rachel A. ___ (F24976)
|
| 6187 | Among churches he served were those in Beckley, Point Pleasant, Spencer and Glenville. | JOHNSON, Grover James (I98320)
|
| 6188 | Among his many military assignments were Naval Torpedo Station at Keyport, Washington; Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, New Jersey (just prior to the Hindenburg disaster); Norfolk Navy Yard in Virginia; and several duty stations in California toward the end of his career. He served several years in the late 1930s with the 4th Marine Division in Shanghai, China, as well as aboard the transport ship USS Chaumont (AP-5). The Marines were protecting U.S. citizens in Shanghai and aiding the Chinese against Japanese efforts to seize the city. The Chaumont suffered two mishaps during her China service in 1936-37, a week-long period aground at Chingwangtao and a collision at Shanghai with the Italian cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli. In 1948, Noel Gabbert was stationed at the Marine Barracks, Guam, Marianas Islands, and served aboard the ammunition ship USS Mount Katmai (AE-16). He entered the Marines as a Private and rose through the ranks to Warrant Officer and Quartermaster Sergeant. | GABBERT, Noel Glen (I83912)
