Family of origin - Jacob Johnson

JoyceBrown6281 — 4 Oct 2008 12:01:19 GMT

I am looking for the family of origin for Jacob Johnson/Johnston. He was born c. 1782-1785, and married Mary Esther Parker, daughter of James and Rebecca (Wolfe) Parker of Hampshire Co. Jacob and Mary were in Scioto Co., Ohio by 1813, moved to White Co., Indiana in 1832, where Jacob died in 1843. On the 1880 census Rebecca (Johnson) Vinson, daughter of Jacob and Mary, stated both her parents were born in Virginia.

Any assistance appreciated. Joyce in Iowa

Newman or Foster family of Hampshire co, VA then WVA

lamb1936 — 20 Aug 2008 3:53:44 GMT

Could someone please tell me if there is a Foster family of Hampshire Co, WVA website? Or Newman?
I'm searching for Hannah Foster b. ca 1775-1780, married John Pierce Newman ca 1794 in Hampshire Co and died in Adams Co, OH ca 1812 when John remarries. I don't know where she was born or who her parents were. There was a large Newman family in Hampshire Co near Romney in the mid 1700's to early 1800's but many of them moved on to Adams Co, OH early in the 19thc. I have found Hannah's birth mistakenly as 1785 but her first child [my 3rd grandfather] was born in 1795.

Richard BOYCE settled in Frederick Co, VA and descendants were still in the area when it became Hampshire Co VA. Later, they are found in Kentucky Co and Fayette Co VA, and Bourbon Co KY, and Sumner Co TN. From there Ralls and Marion Co, MO and then Bastrop, Travis, and Llano Co, TX.

Philoman/Fillman E. Dunn m. Miss Lease, 1840s

AmeliaMorrowGerlicher — 12 May 2007 5:22:24 GMT

I just received the death certificate for my ancestor Minerva Virginia DUNN Bingham McConney. She was born Feb 1844 in Virginia. The death certificate lists here parents as "Fillman E. DUNN, b. VA, and Miss LEASE, b. VA. The informant is Mary Caruthers, a name I do not recognize, so I do not know who she was or how she was related.

Philoman E. Dunn is listed as 20-30 years old in the 1840 Hampshire Co, VA census. Two doors down is Phillip LONG. In the 1850 Hampshire VA census: Nelson Long 23 b. VA; Mary 30 VA; Henry 13 VA; Mary 11 VA; Jane 6. (Deixt 24. p. 251. 10/18/1850) They are living next to Henry Lease Sr., age 60, and Henry Lease Jr, age 25. The Henry's move to Washington and Bremer Co, IA 1860.

Nelson is the son of Phillip (and Mary Flood). In 1860, my ancestor Minerva marries William Bingham in Bremer Co, Iowa. In the census, they are living with Nelson, age 32. Nimrod Long, age 6, b. IA, is also in the household. Nimrod Long, age 25, is living with Minerva in 1880, now married to David C. McConney, listed as a brother-in-law.

If Minerva Virginia was known as Jane when she was little, then she's the 6 year old in Nelson Long's 1850 household, maybe with her mother and step-father, living next to her grandfather. There's a WorldConnect entry consistent with that, that says Mary Ann Lease (1819-1859) married Nelson Long. But that requires Minerva Virginia to have been Jane, and so I'm hoping someone has additional information to support that leap.

If anyone can shed light on this, please do let me know.

Help with Abraham DeWitt and Catherine Burns

TomDeWitt1999 — 20 Jul 2008 12:09:05 GMT

I've been trying to find info on the above 2 for quite a few years off and on and can't seem to make any head way. I did manage to find a marriage record on them when my cousin and I made a rather hurried trip down there on a long week-end a while back. They were married Dec 9, 1783 by John Alderson. But we couldn't find anything else on them. Some researchers say they are the parents of Amos, born in 1801, but that was about 17 years later. Any brothers and sisters, cemetery records, tax records, just anything. I "believe" Caatherine Burns was born there around 1764, any leads on her parents? All help and advise will be greatly appreciated.

5-20-1947 "HAY" BABY GIRL

CharlesMeade38 — 18 May 2002 7:07:14 GMT

LOOKINMG TO CONNECT WITH SOMEONE WHO IS RESEARCHING OR HAS RESEARCHED THE "HAY" SURNAME IN AND AROUND HAMPHIRE COUNTY. INTERESTED IN THE 1900'S TO NOW. PARTICULAR INTEREST IS "DOROTHY HAY." DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DOROTHY EXCEPT IN THE MID 1940'S, DOROTHY WAS LIVING AND WORKING IN AND AROUND THE LOGAN COUNTY AREA. DOROTHY BECAME PREGNANT, AND ON MAY 20, 1947 GAVE BIRTH TO A DAUGHTER. THE CHILD WAS DELIVERED BY A "DR. GIBSON" WHO WORKED IN AND AROUND THE CABELL COUNTY AREA. THE HOSPITAL WAS THE (NOW GONE) MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, IN HUNTINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA. DOROTHY HAD MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO ADOPT THE CHILD AT BIRTH. THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS WERE MY AUNT AND UNCLE, THE CHILD BECAME MY FIRST COUSIN, AND MY BEST FRIEND. MY AUNT AND UNCLE HAD REQUESTED TO ALL WHO KNEW OF THE ADOPTION TO NEVER TELL MY COUSIN. IT WAS ONLY AFTER HER MOTHERS DEATH IN THE 90'S THAT MY COUSIN FOUND OUT SHE WAS ADOPTED. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO MY COUSIN TOLD ME THIS STORY AND ASK FOR MY HELP IN FINDING OUT ABOUT "DOROTHY HAY." THE FAMILY THAT KNEW OF THE ADOPTION ARE NOW GONE, AND OTHER THAN AN ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE THERE WASN'T MUCH TO GO ON.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS, I HAVE PUT TOGETHER. HOPE IT JOGS SOMEONES MEMORY.
1. DOROTHY WAS ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF BIRTH, THAT WOULD PUT HER BEING BORN IN 1927 GIVE OR TAKE A YEAR.
2. DOROTHY WAS SAID TO HAVE HAD "RED HAIR and GREEN EYES"
3. DOROTHY WAS TALL AND SLENDER, WITH SODT FEATURES.
4 ON THE ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE DOROTHY ONLY NAMED HERSELF, SHE DIDN'T NAME A BIRTH FATHER.
5. DOROTHY NAMED HER DAUGHTER "SHARON KAY" POSSIBLY A FAMILY NAME?
6. ALTHOUGH NO BIRTH FATHER WAS NAMED, DOROTHY GAVE THE CHILD THE LAST NAME OF "SCHUMACHER" MAYBE HER HUSBANDS NAME IN AN EARLIER OR LATER MARRIAGE?
IF ANY OF THIS RINGS A BELL, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE,

Valentine Cooper 1765-1835 Hampshire & Hardy Co.

ErnieLasley — 28 Jun 2001 10:03:22 GMT

I have traced my Cooper family back to Valentine Cooper born 1765 died 1835 in Hardy Co. WV. I am
unable to find his parents but have several possibilities, maybe someone can help solve the puzzle.
The area Valentine & family lived in was Hampshire Co. VA before 1786 and Fredrick Co. VA before
1754. Makes it hard to track records. Some of the possibilities:
Valentine Cooper, born between 1720 - 1730, fought in the Indian wars with three brothers. Possibly
the same one that died in Wood Co. in 1810.
George Cooper born 1729 married Mary Rinehart, died 1809.
Job Cooper born 1734, brother of George & Valentine.
Jacob Cooper born 1721 left will in Fredrick Co. in 1758, 7 children.
Leonard Cooper married Sarah Brill, left will in Fredrick Co. 1766.
Thomas Cooper, left will in Fredrick Co. 1785
There is also a Fredrick Cooper (no dates) married Elizabeth Kyle, had children George, Valentine
Fredrick & others.

Some of these were in Fredrick Co. MD in early to mid 1700's, by the mid to late 1700's were in the
vicinity of Cooper Mountain in what is now Hardy Co. WV. Some lived for a time just across the
border to the north in PA.

George and brothers owned a tannery on Cooper Mountain, and many of the descendants of this family
were tanners, saddlers, leather workers and shoe makers. This trade ran in my line for four generations,
convincing me that there is a connection, that Valentine is the son or grandson of one of these.

I have the descendants from Valentine b. 1765 d. 1835 in Hardy Co. down to my family. Does anyone
have anything that will connect Valentine to the Cooper Mountain Brothers?

Shannon Family in Hampshire County

jbakron — 8 Mar 2008 2:22:44 GMT

I am doing research on my family and the Shannons' are an important part of my effort since my mother, Virginia Florence Shannon Bader, was part of the family(12th child).

Some background: Edgar W. Shannon(my grandfather)was born in Springfield, Hampshire, West Virginia in 1873. He married Louise(maiden name and date unknown). Their first of 13 children, Benjamin, was born in 1895. They left WV in the early 1900's and settled in Frostburg, Allegany, Maryland.

Edgar W. was the son of Jeremiah Chadwick Shannon(b. 1846) and Florence Bryan Shannon(b. 1849) Both, I believe, were born in Springfield. Jeremiah was the son of Benjamin Shannon(b. 1821)and Hannah Catherine Chadwick Shannon(b. 1825), both having been born in Springfield. I have further linage if anyone is interested.

I need help with the maiden name's of my grandmother, Louise Shannon and the parents of Florence Bryan Shannon. Also, any other information about this family and resources that might help me on my quest would be appreciated.

In the 1776 Frederick Co VA will of STEPHEN HOTZENBELLA, he leaves part of his estate to the "surviving heirs of his daughters Catherine Kerns and Elizabeth Huver".

This implies to me that both daughters were deceased before 1776.

Does anyone know of a death record or cemetary record for either of these women?

JACOB HUBER, VALENTINE SWITZER & RUDOLPH BUMGARDNER founders of the town of Capon Springs, Hampshire Co VA (W VA) all married daughters of STEPHEN HOTZENBELLA & ELIZABETH BRUMBACH of Frederick Co VA and lived either next to each other or very near each other.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I am trying to locate the Clark family who may have been part of the Brethren Community in Hampshire County before relocating to Washington County, Tennessee. Jacob Clark was born August 23, 1823, probably in Hampshire county, but married (Sarah Bowman, daughter of Deacon Joseph Bowman) in 1851 in Tennessee. I would appreciate any possible Clark or Bowman information.

I am looking for ANY information on Aaron Cummins/Cummans. He was born about 1784 in VA. He died in 1813 in Hampshire Co., VA. He married Eleah Huff and they had at least six children:

James(married Sarah Rickey), John (married Mary "Polly" XXX), Elizabeth (married David Grapes), Catherine (married Jacob Boatman), Aaron (married Eliza Rowles),and Eleah/Leah (married Adam Palmer)

Leah stayed in Hampshire Co until, at least 1830. Sometime after that she moved to Columbiana Co., OH with her younger children and resided there until her death in 1847.

Cheryl — 2 Dec 2006 3:14:51 GMT

I am trying to find the parents of Rebecca Swisher, believed to have been born around 1873.
I have tracked her down to the area of Hampshire Co, Va/WV. I believe that her parents were Philip and either Louisa E Cool or Sarah Jane McDonald.
I found her one time in the census with Philip, but only one time. She has a sister Philenda (this makes me believe that I am on the right track).
I would really appreciate anyone's thought or information.
She ended up in Gallia County, Ohio married in 1899 to Oscar Alexander,of a rather promenient family at that time.
I would really like some help on this one.
Thanks in advance

Hampshire County Records

NikkiDavis524 — 6 Aug 2005 1:17:38 GMT

I hope that I am not out of line by offering, but I have
just purchased the book HAMPSHIRE COUNTY RECORDS 1816-1923 VIRGINIA/WEST VIRGINIA by Vicki Bidinger Horton, and if anyone is interested, I would be glad to do lookups.

Contains information from Chancery and Guardian Bond books, newspaper abstracts and a big section listing deaths-date and year.

With all the McCauley/Baker discussion on the board and from reading it in the book I have become interested in this line and if I could help anyone I would be glad to do it.

John T. Moreland

LKMoreland — 28 Oct 2007 2:58:48 GMT

I am looking for any information about one John T. Moreland, born sometime between 1815 - 1820 in Hampshire County, VA/WVA. Family history states that he had at least two wives and has him fathering some 15 to 20 children, including Robert Lee Moreland, Sr. I believe I found John T. in the 1850 census and slave schedules in Hampshire county, and then again in 1870 in Charleston, Kenawha Co. WVA. Oral family history also states that he owned a "plantation" in Hampshire County and fought in the Civil War. One item of consistency between the anecdotal family history and the census data I have found to date is that he was a saddle and harness maker. Anyone have any information about this family?

Thanks so much!

Re: St. Andrew ship, our Newmans??????

lauracrofts — 16 Oct 2007 3:51:33 GMT

Hello Newman families,
I am a Newman from Adams County, Ohio. My fathers family came from Hampshire County in early 1800's. George Newman and Elizabeth Robertson are my fifth grandparents. Georges parents are supposed to be Johann Christoph Neumann and Dorothea Luick, and they were supposed to have come to this country on the St. Andrew. But I don't think so. I am hoping some one knows who Georges father really was.
I was told that our Newmans came on this ship. ST. ANDREW ON SEPTEMBER 12, 1734.
1734 St. Andrew
[List 36 A, B, C] St. Andrew (Galley)
Captain: John Stedman
From: Rotterdam, March 1734
By Way of: Plymouth
Arrival: Philadelphia, 12 Sep 1734

Eighty nine Palatines, who with their families, making in all two hundred sixty one persons.

Now this ship is suppossed to carry Johann Christoph Neumann and wife Dorothea Luick. Well with the help of Robert I found this ship.
It holds the family of Christoph Neiman, which maybe a phonic spelling for Neumann. Then the name is spelled another way Neuman. There was no Johann attached to his name. His wife was not Dorothea Luick, it was Susanna (Muelmer) Neuman. Now I do not know if this family went to Viginia. If they did not go to Virginia, then how do we know our family is German?????
I am searching for the answer.
If any one want to write my e-mail is lauracroft@peoplepc.com
Sincerely,
Brenda (Newman) Moss

James Smith of Virginia to Allegany County, Maryland

MaryBoudreau51 — 23 Sep 2007 6:44:26 GMT

We are looking for information on James Smith, born abt. 1791, whose sister Elizabeth born abt. 1789, both in Virginia.

James Smith married Marie Hoffman (b. abt. 1795), on 29 October 1816, in Allegany County, Maryland. He was a cabinet maker. From Civil War records, we found that the Smiths lived in Cumberland, Maryland.

Children of James and Marie:
Elizabeth, b. abt. 1817
David, b. 18??
James, b. abt. 1824
Augustus, b. 1829
Ann Marie, b. abt. 1835

It is quite probable that James Smith was from either Mineral or Hampshire counties in West Virginia, as they both border Allegany County, Maryland.

We know that James Smith oldest dauther married A. Beale and was in the War of 1812 with him.

We have found with so little information on our Smiths, it is like looking for a needle in Haystack. So, we hope that a Smith descendant can help us break down our Smith brick wall.

Bloomery Iron Furnace

The Royce/Rice/Royse/Reus family in Virginia and Kentucky

Jane Ritter — 9 Mar 2006 5:17:35 GMT

I am seeking information about my great great grandmother Vienna Royse Garland. The census records indicate she was born in VA. She married Nathaniel Rice Garland in Lewis County Ky 1824. John Clayton Royse was her brother, I believe, as he was 11 years older and is mentioned in the marriage record. There is a John Rice listed in the book "Allegheny Passage" as being a member of the Church of the Brethren. He purchased acreage on the Little Cacapon in 1777. Apparerntly some of the family moved, along with other members of the Brethren congregation, to KY. I have come to a complete "dead end" regarding Vienna and hopefully someone has infomation regarding the Royse/Rice family. Thanks!!!

Wards - (W)VA - Ohio - Illinois

Ruthie B — 28 Jul 2001 1:26:08 GMT

My mother's WARD family apparently left the Hampshire Co, (W)VA area about 1820 and settled in the Ross Co, OH area for about 30 years. An 1850 Ross Co census identifies John Ward as 67 years old and having been born in Maryland; John's wife, Catherine is listed as 65 and having been born in Virginia. My gg-grandfather Thornton Ward's sisters married into the Talbot, Teeters, Crozier, and Caldwell families in the southern Ohio area ca 1840's. By the 1850's, this particular Ward family had moved on to settle on land in Cumberland Co, IL, where Catherine is listed as a widow on the 1860 IL census. The home that Thornton built along the National Road in Cumberland Co, IL ca 1860 still stands, and our family is currently in the process of having it listed for historical purposes. My 81-yr-old mother would love to know about her g-grandfather's WARD family prior to Ross Co, but it's been difficult for me to get a trace on this elusive John and Catherine Ward.

Miller/Sirbaugh

paulstickley — 25 Jun 2001 1:40:27 GMT

Some time ago, I was asked to provide what I knew about my greatparents, Amos Miller, 1857-1915/Mary Elizabeth Sirbaugh, 1858-1907. I intended to provide this, but did not. I also lost the query reference and e-mail address. Mea Culpa!

The following is for my lost querier: Amos Miller's father is Stephen Miller, both of whom are listed in Daniel P. Oates's "The 1860 Federal Census of Hampshire County, Virginia," page 43. Stephen is then age 60, and living with his second wife, Sarah A. Heironimus, age 37. Amos is Wesley T. Miller, age 3. The middle initial is an error of the enummerator. Amos' birth name is controversial, but consensus is that it is Wesley Amos Miller. The human source of what I know was given to me by Connie (Miller) Howdyshell, deceased, daughter of James Robert Miller.

I will make every attempt to respond appropriately to any query request for a copy of the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) family group sheet for Amos & Mary Elizabeth, which provides data for their five children: Bertha Estella, Elmer Bruce, James Robert, Charles William, and Lester Paul.

Grapes/Richardson

PaulPettit1951 — 8 Jun 2006 4:29:19 GMT

One Jacob Grapes b. 1801 and Sarah probably born about 1803. I beleive they were orphans. Jacob's family said he came from Hampshire Co. Does anyone have any guardianship information that may discuss these persons. There are discrepancies on who their parents were. If their father died and the mother remarried, her name may have been Susan or Elizabeth. Sarah supposedly married a Ricahrdson and went to "Ohio" n.f.i.

Looking for anything on her family.

Sherwood's of Hampshire County

jlcosgrave — 4 Apr 2007 9:43:13 GMT

A year or two ago, someone was able to give me information on a family with the last name of Sherwood, that was buried in a cemetery in Little Cacapon, WV. I've lost all that information I had stored on a computer, so I'm hoping someone might be able to find this information for me again.

Thank you.

Ridoutt Family - Hampshire

sueholloway1953 — 29 Jan 2006 5:20:29 GMT

My 3x great grandfather was George Ridoutt born around 1812/13 somewhere in Hampshire according to census returns.
At some point in time he ventured up to Shoreditch in London where he married Eliza Card born Sussex in 1833. They had around 9 children.
I am looking for the father and siblings of George. We think his mother's name was Millicent/Melicent. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Got to the stage now where im knocking my head against a brick wall
