Have you tried this LDS site? Don't be specific on what county you think he is in--to a state search and he might show up somewhere else! Did he have any ties to Belmont County, OH--right across the boarder? My OH/WV families sometimes showed up in the other state--died at a relatives, etc.

Romona,

I am interested in your James Dunlap line from Ohio Co.,
W.Va. I have a Charles Dunlap in Indiana that I'm sure
had a brother James. I've been unable to connect any
parents with him. In one census, they say Charles was born in Ohio and another says W.Va. (b 1827)
Could it be possible Ohio Co., W Va? I know this may be grasping at straws, but every stone must be over turned in genealogy. Can we talk?

Were non-naturalized people not included in the WV death records?

seele01 — 2009-09-22 01:49:28Z

Ever since the late 1940s, my grt grandmother, my grandmother, and (later/now) myself have tried to find the Death Record of my grt grt grandfather, Franz Josef Schöner.

He was born in 21 Aug 1824 in Norstetten, Germany, immigrated in 1853, and after a few years in Kentucky, he moved to the area around Marshall/Ohio County, West Virginia, near the town of Wheeling. He died after 1897 (he sold the rest of his land then). His family's records flip between Ohio County and Marshall County. Anyway, I cannot for the life of me find his death record. I do not know if he was ever Naturalized into the USA, but he very likely was not. He went by "Frank" instead of "Franz" in the 1870 and 1880 Wheeling, WV censuses. And his last name has been spelled as Schöner, Schoner, Shaner, Schaner, and Schoener.

I guess my point is, no matter how much I search places like the Digitalized West Virginia Vital Statistic Records site, I CANNOT find is death record. It is maddening, as I am near 100% positive he was in Wheeling, West Virginia when he died. I just thought that maybe since he was un-naturalized, that he wouldn't have a state death record? Or are there any other reasons why he wouldn't have one? Ohio County's death record seem to be fully there...are there any gaps in Marshall County death records, specifically between 1887 and 1900?

Also, I am posting this in both the Ohio County, WV board, and the Marshall County, WV board here at Ancestry.com, as Franz Josef Schöner and his family seemed to have records in both counties.

Anyway, thank you very much for any help you can give. I truely appreciate it!

Re: Seek info on CARLTON BOWMAN b. ca. 1800 MD.>W/VA

akranz50 — 2009-09-18 13:45:47Z

I believe you are looking at my 2 gr grandfather. But according to the application made for 1812 pension & bounty land he was born ca 1790-1795. I don't think he could be the father of your Rachel, perhaps a brother. He states he was drafted in 1814 at Old Town, MD and was discharged at Federal Hill in 1815. Unfortunately, the application was denied, but gives some good hints. Says he was born in Montgomery Co, MD. In 1848 he married Rebecca Madden in New Alexander, PA - since he already had several children by then this may have been his 2nd marriage. Lived in the Short Creek, WV area and then moved to Belmont Co after his son Joseph married Nancy E Clark and moved there. Would be willing to exchange information - contact at akranz50@hotmail.com

Part of Peninsula Cemetery was moved when I-70 went in back in the 60's, it is possible his was one of those moved. They are about 3 miles apart. I cannot get to the county building as they close before I get done work, but if I can get the cemetary to cooperate and give me the location I will try to get a photo later this month when I am in the area.

Rachel Bowman b.5 Jul 1800 to Carlton Bowman and? in MD is my ggggrandmother. You seem to have the connection I've been looking for. She married Samuel Winesburgh in Old Town (Cumberland?), Allegheny Co, MD. This seems to be a sister to your family. She lived in Marshall Co, VA/WV and died in Triadelphia, Ohio Co., WV 1871.

Jane Drakeley/Drakely

msmartins — 2009-03-21 20:56:39Z

Looking for information on Jane Drakeley who was born anywhere from 1827-1833 in Ohio(the state). She is listed on the 1850 census in Ohio County, Virginia as Jane Drakeley, b.1827 with the Bonham family. She married Thomas Taylor from Pensylvania 19 Apr 1853. The family was in 1860 where she is listed as Jane Taylor b. ca 1831, Ohio. In 1870, the family is living in New Orleans and she is listed as Jane Taylor, b.ca 1833, Virginia. I'm trying to see if she connects to my Drakeley line since they had connections in both Ohio and Wheeling, VA.

Re: History of Thompson, Tracey, Ervine Families of Ohio County

alaron — 2009-05-13 20:37:03Z

Bobby,
Ron is alright with me.
I can't believe I've discovered someone so far away who accually knew and met my Uncle Dutch.

The internet makes all things possible I guess.
Uncle Dutch was the slowest talking man in the world to me. He seemed to drag out every word. That is until my stroke last year. Now I talk the same way.
He always wanted to come out to Washington and visit him but I never made it.

Wen I was living at home with mother and father, one year he sent us a salmon he had caught, packed in dry ice. We ate on that fish for days and it was delicious.

I remember once when came to visit us in Ohio he and I traveled to our home roots in West Virginia. Between his dring and trying to find Paul Harvey on the radio we must have rub off the road two dozen times for every ten miles we drove. Needless to say, I was a wreck by the time we arrived.

However, Uncle Dutch had a heart of gold. He was the most kindest and caring men I've ever met.

I'd sure love to one of those pictures of Grandpa and Grandma Tracy. I can't wait until they arrive. I'll be willing to pay the postage costs. Mailing isn't cheap anymore.

When you have that reunion, please, give everyone the information to contact me. I'll get in touch with my other cousins and see if they provide me the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the relatives who remain in and aroung Wahington to see if I make you task easier.

Oh, there is another family to whom we are distantly related to that lives in Seattle, the Picklesimer family. We ahve a relationship to them from Tennessee and Kentucky.

I'm retired now I can no longer work. But I still fish, hunt and play golf. I've been a journaist, machinest, musicain, and artist but now I am happy just being a Grandfather and taking the children fishing and to the ballgames.

For your information I'm the father of two and tthe husband of one, Linda Rose West, b. 26 Sep 1949, from Epperson, Tennessee, Martin Wesley Thompson b. 1968 in Akron, Ohio and Misty Elise Thompson-Walker-Cook b. 1972, Akron, Ohio. Misty has blessed me two grandchildren, Kayla Elise Walker b. 13 Aug 1991 in Andalusia, Alabama and Morgan Rhett Cook b. 16 Aug 1993, Andalusia, Alabama. Marty has blessed us with two children, also. Dalton Wesley Thompson b. 24 Nov 2002 and our lastest bundle of joy, Mya Grace Thompson, b. 17 Sep 2008. both in Andalusia, Alabama.
Well Bob, I'm kind of typed out, It isn't easy recovering from this stroke. All I can say is, If you every down this way, you and your family are welcome to stay with us. We will do our best to make you like your home.
If you care to talk with me, if you will just give me a nubmer where I can reach you on the weekends I have free long distance at that time.

I'll be, miracles still happen now and then. It's so nice to meet you.
Ron and Linda Thompson

alaron — 2009-05-09 20:12:05Z

Robert,
It's great to hear from you. It's always nice to meet a newly found cousin.
Benjamen Ervine was the earlest Ervine I've found. I believe he made have come down to Virginia from New England. I know the Tracy families relocated from New England to New York and then Virginia.
Edward Ervine married Mary "Polly" Curry and his daughter married George Washington Tracy. Then their daughter Mary Elizabeth Tracy married my 2nd Great Gradfather Edward Johnston "E.J." Thompson.
I'd really like to attend one of your reunions but that's a long drive with little money to go with.
However, I have relatives in the Kent area, southeast of Seattle, of Washington. Cousins who I've never met. My father's brother, Paul Hull "Dutch" Thompson used to operate a lounge in the Kent area, simply called "Dutch's" If you look into the local phonebook you may locate a few of them.
Meanwhile there is a Tracy Family Website on My Family.com which may provide you with additional information about the Ervine family.

Keep in touch please,

Re: 1930 census lookup

rjdhart1 — 2009-04-18 16:59:39Z

I located a death record for a Samuel Theodore Grim in Belmont County, Ohio. He passed away on April 14, 1927 of pneumonia. He was buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Wheeling, W.V. He was born on Oct 26 1859 in Friendly, W.V. to John and Mansey Hages Grim. He was married to Charrity Currend. He was a labor foreman in the tile works industry. I located this on an L.D.S. website. Hope this is the right one and if it is, it explains why he could not be found in the 1930 census.

Best of luck,
Julie

I have recently had a communication regarding how my DNA results from Ancestry.com are very closely matched to the DNA of a descendant of Jacob Newton Crawford.Your original posting refers to the possibility that Jacob might have changed his name and could have been a Parkington or Parkingson.My surname is Parkinson and I live in England. I have traced the Parkinson line back to the late 18th century.They are largely from Yorkshire. I was wondering why you think that Jacob could have formerly been called Parkinson.
I look forward to hearing from you.

bobwadeqce — 2009-05-09 19:19:44Z

Hello. My name is Robert Wade and I live in Seattle ,Wa. My GGGgrandmother was Mary Ervine and her Father was Edward Ervine. Edward fought in the War of 1812, then became a Magistrate in the Greenbrier area of the West Virginia Territories after that. I'm not sure of anything further I have gathered.
We have "reunion" parties each year and we celebrate our west Virginia heritage, but the family has always honered the Traceys and Currys...but not the Ervines'...until last year. I will continue to celebrate and research the "Ervine" link.
Sincerely your distant cousin.

Re: History of Thompson, Tracey, Ervine Families of Ohio County

bobwadeqce — 2009-05-14 21:25:47Z

Hello again Ron and Hello to your wife Linda. Wow...I never dreamed it would be fairly easy to find distant relatives, thanks to the internet.
Well...how do I start? Ok...I was born in Seattle on 12/15/51 and am 57 yrs old. I have been married 3 times and have 2 lovely daughters from 2 different mothers. Cheyenne, my oldest, is 27, (will turn 28 on May 31), and she has blessed me with a grandaughter, Allie Renee, (whom I affectially call "Allie GRRRL"), and live just north of Seattle in a town called Lynnwood. She's unmarried, but is extremely level-headed and committed of raising Allie.

Krista, my youngest, is also 27...Oh, I know what you're thinking, Both my daughters are the same age and are from different mothers. Yeah...they're 8 months apart and the family's kidding of that is: When Bobby found out he's going to be a father...he went out and celebrated that by knocking up another woman. Welllll...kinda. I didn't know I had impregnated the other woman and it was 4 years later when I discovered I had 2 daughters. Now...just to set the record straight...I completely and fully supported both daughters and introduced the girls to each other, ( the Mothers were a different story. One was 23 yrs old when she had Chey and the other Mother was 41 yrs old when she had Krista and when they finally met...Oh Boy!!! Not a pretty sight), and although the girls are different as night and day...they definitely show very strong characteristics of their father...opps. :) I married Krista's mother in 1993 after a 6 year courtship. Divorced in 1999 and I'm at fault Dammit! Sigh. But life happens.
I was a 5th generation, Master Journeyman, EXPERT, Marble and Tile setter and was at one time, rated as one of the TOP TEN installers in the Nation. I was sooooo full of myself after having Celebrities, heads of State, Billionaires, and Prominate Archetects fighting to get my services. But after being in that difficult trade from the age of 5, (yeah...my mom pleaded with my father to take me to work with him, so she'd get a break from the "bundle"), to the age of 51. It took it's toll on the ol' bod, so I was forced out of the trade in 2003 and was injured at the time and and and of all things NEVER planned, I became homeless. At 51, injured, and on the streets was one helluva wake-up call. I could no longer do the work I was so successful at and Nobody would hire me in an office cappacity within the trade, (even though I have a degree in Construction Management), so I had to go back on the one trade i could also do very very good...short-order cook. But you know the old saying: If you can't stand the HEAT...
So I became of all things...a Tuxedo Salesman. WHAT??? Yeah Ron...and I became extremely successful at doing that...I had NO Idea I was talented in sales. Within 6 months at doing that I was promoted to Manager of my own Tuxedo Shop with a 50% pay raise. That joy lasted about 2 1/2 hours until I walked in a lit crosswalk, with the light in my favor, and was struck by a car doing 35mph. OW!!! I lasted in the job for only 5 months more before I couldn't work anymore. Saddest day in my life Ron. But before I had to "retire" I was involved in unraveling a Interstate Fraud lodged against my District Manager and coverup by the Vice-President of the Tuxedo company that actually led to my firing at the Tuxedo shop. You know about what happens sometimes to the "whistle blower"...
So here I was again...injured, out of work, and compteplating what being homeless again was going to do to me. But fate interviened...Washington State took me and placed me on welfare...not that great, but enought to keep my nose above water for 2 years until I was "forced" to retire to SSI...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr If that wasn't bad enough...fate interviened again. All of a sudden I was having massive difficulties walking. Cramping Pain like you wouldn't believe coming from my Butt muscles, (forgive me Linda), and it turned out I had a serious and almost fatal condition called PAD. I have an excellent Heart. That was the only reason I am alive today. I suffered 2 "mini-strokes". One that left my left side of the face "slacked" for about 2 months. It took a little less time getting the left arm working good again. No noticable different in speach, but I know what you mustv'e experienced when you had yours. Anyway...after 2 emergency operations of implanting these things called STENTS, 4 of 'em in my 2 femeral arteries, which were 98% blocked on the left leg and 99.8% on the right leg, (yeah...I should not have survived that one and woke up on the operating table to witness my 2 doctors, 2 nurses and 2 technicians doing a "Happy Dance" around me. They were soooo damn happy I survived...me too), and am doing fantastic. I've been given at least 20 more years.
So here I am Ron...living on a modest income, never ever have to worry about getting the ol paycheck from work again, involved with the community and am slowly becoming a somewhat of a mini-celebrity in my city. I have the love of my family and close friends and want to become an artist of Mosaic Art...which I'm also an EXPERT in.
There are 37 1st cousins that are part of the family reunion and they're from the Curry side of the family. We have steadfastly observed this family celebration since it was conceived from the West Virginia Picnics we had here in Seattle starting in the 1940's. There were soooo many West Virginia participants in those days we had to rent out an entire park, (called Lower Woodland Park which is also part of the Woodland Park Zoo here in Seattle), just to accomadate all the people. Unfortunately it thinned down to just the Curry side from Washington State and the last time we had anyone from West Virginia was in the 1988 reunion. It has been 4 years since I said: HEY!!! What about the Ervines???? At first they didn't care, but ahhh...can I be a persistant lil bugger when motivated. So last year Ron...to my great delight...the Name of Ervine has been OFFICIALLY place on our giant family tree poster. and now I can add Benjamen Ervine, but I would like to know if Ben was Edwards father and if Ben immigrated from England around 1760. Anything you can give me about Benjamen and if there's an outside chance...do you know who GW Tracey's father's name was. we've hit a brickwall and now it's Ol' Edward Ervine who's been ID'd as the oldest of our ancestors. Boy Ron...I was a little shocked that the family would even entertain going away from the Curry side to further our family tree and I tell you...All of the Thompsons from Mary Elizabeth Ervine relations will definitely be added.
Ok...my hands are tired and sitting for long periods actually hurts like hell.

Re: History of Thompson, Tracey, Ervine Families of Ohio County

bobwadeqce — 2009-05-13 19:21:05Z

Hello again Ronald, or may I call you "Ron"? Please call me Bob, or as my family likes to call me...Bobby. Thank you for responding so quickly. I have many things to let you know about my connection to your GGGGrandmother, Mary Elizabeth Ervine. I would like to send to you a picture, ca. 1880s' of George Washington Tracey and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Tracey. In a small sense, I am beginning to resemble ol' George. I will copy the picture i have and send it to the address that you gave to me.
There are two "strange" other connections to our family and the Ervines. Edward married Mary "Polly" CURRY and they had Mary E. Mary E. married G. W. Tracey and there third son Preston married (forgot name), and they had a daughter named Virginia Tracey, (my great Grandmother), who married a man with the last name of Mullinax, who had a daughter, Claire Mullinax, my grandmother...who married Loy CURRY from west virginia, who had a daughter, Pauline CURRY, who was my mother...so you see that I have 2 sets of CURRYS in my family history.
Here's the 2nd "strange" connection to your family. I knew your Uncle "Dutch" personally. My father and I were tile setters here in washington state back in the mid 70's and we did a tile job at the house of "Dutch" Thompson...owner of Dutch's lounge. As you can realize...it's been at least 35 years from that time...but I definitely remember the name. I will see if I can make contact for you and maybe see if they'd, (the Thompsons), would like to meet and/or possibly attend our family reunion, which is held in Covington, Wa. and is only a few mile up the hill from Kent.
Wow Ronald...I wonder if there's ANY family resemblence to GW Tracey on your side?
Thank you again and I hope to keep in contact with my new found cousins.

Re: Could someone please keep their eye out for a marriage? (1867-1870)

dhazel1 — 2009-04-09 18:25:45Z

Karen,

The marriage date, 25 Dec 1866, is for Elizabeth WISEMAN, not Jane Adeline WISEMAN. They were both married to Lafayette FINCHAM, but they are sisters, born six years apart - Elizabeth in 1844, and Jane in 1849-1850. These girls were both daughters of Harrison WISEMAN and Polly CONSTABLE.
Thought I'd clear that up - could not find a death date for Elizabeth, but did find one for Jane Adeline Wiseman FINCHAM in 1938.

Have we talked about similarities and differences in our lines?

Re: Braden Family in Ireland

alfbhill1 — 2009-06-20 17:36:12Z

My James Braden (1731-1802) was born in Inniskillen, Ireland, married Margaret Howe, then came to Philadelphia and other areas of PA, OH, WV, IL, etc., throughout the late 1700's. His wife Margaret died in Ireland, and he may have remarried before following his eldest son, George, to Philadelphia in 1767.

These don't seem to be related to your Bradens. When and where did your Bradens live in Ireland?
