Cemeteries Documented: Wayne/Logan Co.

buckeyekid — 4 Sep 2008 2:26:51 GMT

Good Evening all!

I have just returned from a wonderfull weekend visiting my family in Branchland WV. While I was there I was able to fully document the following Cemeteries: Green Vance, Marion Vance, Baby Mead, Webb, and Old Gartin Family Cemetery. I was also able to document about 75% of the Queens Ridge Cemetery.

I was looking for my Grandmother Stella (Williamson) Nelson and my Great-Grandfather Pearly Jackson Williamson but was unable to find them. I found out the day I left that they and many other family members were laid to rest in the Dial Cemetery located on FourMile in/near Branchland.

If anyone is interested in any of the photos from any of the above listed cemeteries, please feel free to contact me directly at shmatthew@columbus.rr.com. Also, if anyone has any information on the Dial Cemetery please contact me.

Thanks!

James HONAKER

Jean Lawson — 22 Jun 2002 11:28:07 GMT

I'm seeking any information on the parents and/or siblings of James HONAKER who is listed in Union District in Lincoln Co. on the 1900 census. James, b. abt 1847 in VA, was married about 1876 to Susan H. UNKNOWN, who was b. abt 1856 also in VA. Their children listed in 1900 are Laurabell HONAKER, b. abt 1878; Julia E. HONAKER, b. abt. 1882; Charles R. J. HONAKER, b. abt. 1884; John F. HONAKER, b. abt. 1886; and George W. HONAKER, b. abt. 1892. The annotation in the census included for this family indicates that Julia E. HONAKER married Grant LOVEJOY and Charles R. J. HONAKER married Sarah Eliza SMITH.
I'm trying to determine if the James HONAKER in Lincoln County in 1900 is the same person as James Fulton HONAKER, son of Henry HONAKER and Mary Ann COMPTON who had come to Lincoln Co. probably from KY by 1876. Their son, James Fulton HONAKER, was born in Russell Co., VA about 1847. Any information or clues from anyone would be most helpful and appreciated.

I am trying to find out what became of this man for his
niece. He was the son of James and Georgia Curry Dillon,
brother of Dorsey Leon Dillon and Nancy Jewell Dillon.
His niece thinks he possibly served time in the WV Peni-
tentiary in the 1940's and some time later went to Cali-
fornia.

Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
He apparently is a total mystery to the surviving family,
and they want to know something about his life (and if he
is still living, which I doubt).

Of particular interst to me is:

Charles is buried in the Spurlock Family Cemetery
above the Spurlockville Post Office. It is at the top of a bank on the right, you walk up an old gas line. There are only 2 graves that can be identified, Charles and Robinson Spurlock. Charles was said to be a highly educated Physcian having received his training in Scotland. Charles was also reported to be a large man about 300 lbs and loved the outdoor life. Spurlocksville was most probably named after Charles Buchannon Spurlock. Charles was said to have bought 1,500 acres on the left turn of Uptons Creek. Charles and Barthenia had 10 children. I descend from Seth Spurlock 1826 - 1923 and Jane Hart 1833 - 1913 my Great Granparents. They are both buried in the Pea Ridge Cemetery.

Descendants of Smith Ferrell and Nettie McCleary Ferrell Shuff

HamlinWV25523 — 16 Mar 2007 1:54:15 GMT

My great grandparents were Smith and Nettie McCleary Ferrell. (She married Robert Shuff after Smith's death and had one son by him.) My grandmother was their daughter Delphia, who married Bernie Blackburn Adkins. Unfortunately, the only sibling of Delphia's that I knew at all was her oldest sister Spicie, and of her children, I only knew Oleta Williamson. Please, if anyone reading this is descended from these people, please contact me at HamlinWV25523@aol.com, and put Ferrell or genealogy in the subject line. I hate not knowing my own family. I have a bunch of old pictures that belonged to my grandmother...I do not know most of the people in them...some have a name on the back but I don't recognize that name, or they don't have anything written on the back. I have most of these photos posted on Photobucket and will send anyone a link and password if you think you may know who any of them are.

DALTONS & THOMPSONS in Harts Creek

Laurie — 12 Jan 2005 5:47:35 GMT

Hi, I hope there are some folks out there who can help me.

In the 1900 census for Harts Creek, Lincoln co, WV, I found Moses and America (Thompson) Dalton with 2 of their sons. Also listed as a boarder was Martha Thompson, age 14, born February 1886. She is my great grandmother. I'm trying to figure out how she is connected to the Daltons; obviously, she is somehow related to America, but how?

The story in our family is that Martha's mother died in childbirth and she was raised by the Daltons. We don't know who her parents were. I thought perhaps she was a daughter of one of America's brothers, but that has not panned out so far. There's a big family of Thompsons there, and I know how America connects, but I'd really like to know how Martha is connected.

Any help would be much appreciated by me and aunt, who was raised by Martha; she wants to know too.
