1789 Names and acreage from Land Tax List Pendleton Co Lower District

slkmallow — 13 Jul 2008 9:55:40 GMT

List is semi-alphabetical except for the transferences and additions at the end of the list. Items in brackets have been added to help in case of either a name variation or, if illegible in the recording, checked on a subsequent year for confirmation of questioned item.

a = acres and multiple parcels are listed in the order given which is usually in the order they were acquired. Certain older multiple grants may be shown as one total - example Samuel Morral's estate actually owned two parcels of 240a and 50a not one parcel of 290a as recorded.

1787 Pendleton portion of Rockingham Land tax list

slkmallow — 15 Jul 2008 1:22:12 GMT

1787 Rockingham Land Tax list District 6, 7, and 8 [modern day Pendleton County]

The three districts which covered what became the southern 3/4 (roughly) of modern day Pendleton County appear to have been divided according to the three river valleys - 6 was South Fork valley; 7 was South Branch valley; and 8 was the North Fork valley. The names of those who lived in the northern most 1/4 (roughly) of modern day Pendleton County were on the Hardy County Land Tax List for 1787.

The later lists of soon-to-be formed Pendleton County were divided into two halves on the opposite axis of the river valleys - the northern or lower district and the southern or upper district so the lists two years apart from Rockingham's 1787 to Pendleton's 1789 cannot just be 'bumped' against each other for comparison.

* indicates the same information regarding acreage in 1782

Jasper Westfall

superbowlsteelers1 — 11 Jun 2008 12:46:13 GMT

I am searching for information on Jasper Westfall, b1877, d?. Cannot find information on his natural Mother & Father. He was living with an Isaac Miller in the 1880 census as a 3 yr old boy. Other members of the household were Rebecka J Miller - Wife, 38 yrs old, Wilson Wilfong - Male 12 yrs old, and Sarah Phares - Niece 16 yrs old. Jasper married Pallie Harman (b3 Oct 1876 WV, d11 Mar 1921) 1 Dec 1896 in Garrett City MD. Jasper is reported to have left Pallie when she was pregnant with their son Don, around 1907/1908. There are many unsubstantiated reports about Jasper. One being that he was in a mental hospital after 1910, another that he divorced Pallie and married another woman. He was reported in Gassaway WV & Richmond (WV? or VA?) at different times.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hester An Hevener

Eugene Harr — 25 Feb 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Hester An Hevener is my great grandmother, she married David (or Davis) Hanger and they had four children, Floyd Davis, Rolyston, Virginia Delarie (my grandmother), and Hattie. According to Morton (pages 226 & 277) , Hester's father was Christian and mother Mary Propst. I have several pictures of Hester and she has a very distinct indian heritage. Does anyone have any more pieces to this story? I found many other family ties to Pendleton Co. that will need answers later. Thank-you

Noah Harper, Phoebe Harman, 1800s and Washington County, Missouri

DianeWolfordWV — 3 Aug 2005 2:59:04 GMT

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any documents on Noah Harper. He was born in Virginia and moved to Missouri. I'm looking for his parents. Phebe's parents came from Pendleton County, and I suspect Noah may have been born there as well. There are a few Harpers that lived there in 1860 and 1870 and may be related to him.

This is what I have on the family:
1850 Cenus, Johnson, Washington, Missouri, Page 158, Roll M432-421, dwelling 979, family 979:
Noah Harper, age 30, Farmer, born in Virginia,
Phebe Harper, age 25, born in Virginia,
Elen, age 8, born in Missouri
Eliza J, age 6, born in Missouri
Mahala, age 4, for in Missouri
John, age 1, born in Missouri

1860, Courtois, Crawford, Missouri, Post Office Osage, Roll M653-616, Page: 0, dwelling 424, family 423:
Noah Harper, age 40, Farmer, 2,000, 1303, born in Virginia
Pheba Harper, age 37, born in Virgnia
Elon Harper, age 18, born in Missouri
Eliza J, Harper, age 16, born in Missouri
Mahala Harper, age 14, born in Missouri
John Harper, age 10, born in Missouri,

Joshua Washington Bodkin and his son Granvil H. Bodkin

stella1119 — 9 Apr 2007 2:08:05 GMT

My maiden name is Bodkin. I descend from Richard Bodkin 1710 Bull Pasture, Highland, VA through:
John Bodkin 1740 Bull Pasture
John Bodkin 1770 Highland
Joshua V. Bodkin 1808 Sugar Grove
Joshua Washington Bodkin 1850 Sugar Grove
Granvil Howard Bodkin 1877 Sugar Grove
Wm Lon Bodkin 1901 Sugar Grove
Stanley Howard Bodkin 1932 Toledo, Lucas, OH
and me Linda K. (Bodkin) Harris Keyser, Mineral, WV

I'm interested in any info, stories and especially photos on the above line, siblings, cousins, uncles, etc.

I am particularly interested in the demise of Joshua Wash Bodkin. Family rumor says he was killed in a flood when Granvil was just a small boy. He shows up in 1880 Census of Sugar Grove but in 1900 Census his wife Eunice shows up as a widow. I have been unable to locate a date or cause of death. I also have no pictures of Joshua Wash Bodkin but would love to acquire one.

It is also reported that Granvil was placed with a man named Cowger after the death of his father. This Cowger was supposedly a wealthy man who was able to care for him. Well enough in fact that he gave him and his wife Dora a Buggy for a wedding present which he used to move his family to Westernport, Allegany, MD.

I live in Fredericksburg Va. So the distance makes it difficult to check local sources. I'd appreciate any help in this manner. I'd also like to invite interested persons to view my public tree on Ancestry.com web site under the name bodkin . Surnames include too many to list, but include, Bodkin, Kiser, Eye, Cowger, Dahmer and Propst. It's a work in progess and I add to it nearly every day. Just email me for an invite.

I'll gladly reimburse fees for photographs postage etc.
email stella1119@comcast.net

Thanks in advance!

Mowery Family

Nancy Lister — 17 Jun 2004 1:13:08 GMT

I am trying to identify the parents of Isaac Mowery born January 1872 West Virginia and married to Lillie Mowery born December 1872 West Virginia. She was daughter of Louisa Frances Mowery (later married Daniel Clark Borror) but raised by aunt Mary Elizabeth Mowery and husband Hiram Dean. I found Isaac and Lillie through the 1930 census in Mill Run District. Have no information after that. Did not find Mary Elizabeth and Hiram in 1930 census for Mill Run. If anyone has any further information on Isaac and Lillie and family or Mary Elizabeth and Hiram, I'd appreciate it.

Also, Etta H. Dean (Mowery) Borror. Am trying to determine if she was daughter of Marshall Mowery; if not, who? She was born in 1866, West Virginia, died 1946 Pendleton County. Husband was William A. Borror. Etta and William buried Wilson Chapel Cemetery.

Am a direct descendant of Louisa Frances Mowery and Daniel Clark Borror.

FISHER/HAWKINS/BUTCHER - Pendleton Co to Lewis Co

BillyCurtisJr — 19 Jul 2007 7:16:03 GMT

Hello to all FISHER researchers.

I am in some serious help in determining my ancestors parents and I am very confident that she connects to the George FISHER and Elizabeth CONRAD line of Pendleton County. I am in need of some source documentation to help me verify her lineage.

Her name was Sidney FISHER. She was born around 1807 according to the 1850 Lewis County, VA/WV census. Her name is confirmed in her 1827 Lewis County marriage record to John HAWKINS, son of Jesse HAWKINS and Carrie JONES. She died sometime between 1850 and 1853 and I do not have a death record to determine the identity of her parents. Her marriage bond was signed by her husband John HAWKINS and a Jonathan HACKER.

Here are some assorted clues to help in determing her lineage:

1) There is a Henry FISHER (age 23) listed in the household of John HAWKINS and Sidney Fisher HAWKINS. I am assuming this is either a much younger brother or a nephew.

2) John HAWKINS' brother, Elias HAWKINS, married Lucinda FISHER, daughter of George FISHER and Barbara BUSH. Brothers often married women who were sisters. Could Sidney and Lucinda be sisters?

3) There is a legal connection between John HAWKINS and Michael FISHER and Adam FISHER. COURT RECORDS: Lewis Co. Circuit Court Law Order Book page 26 -March 27, 1856 In this court record a complaint was filed against a James Murray.

4)Based on the 1810 Harrison County Census and the 1820 Lewis County Census, I have narrowed her father to four possible men:

a) 1810 Harrison County census shows four men who have a female child under 10. They are George FISHER (1 female under 10), Mikle FISHER (4 females under 10) Charles FISHER (1 female under 10) and George FISHER (1 female under 10) This last George FISHER is living next to Paulsen BUTCHER. I am not sure which George FISHERs these are.

b)Sidney would most likely have been found in the 10-16 age group in the 1820 Lewis County census. Of the four men listed in the 1810 census, three of them had females in that age group. Charles FISHER did not have any in that age group but had one female child that was 16-26. It may be more likely that he is not Sidney's father. That leaves three men: George FISHER (1 female child 10-16), Michel FISHER (3 female children 10-16), and George FISHER (1 female child 10-16) Once again there are two George FISHERs listed.

Based on the John HAWKINS court transaction with Michael and Adam FISHER, and the Henry FISHER in the 1850 home of John HAWKINS and Sidney Fisher HAWKINS (Adam and Henry were sons of Michael), I am leaning toward Sidney being a daughter to Michael and Elizabeth BUTCHER.

It is also possible that Sidney also had another name and she went by Sidney. Any help on this line would be greatly appreciated.

Nathan Smith and Mahulda Bodkins Smith

smithbl78 — 28 Jan 2007 2:19:10 GMT

I am trying to find the parents and grandparents of Nathan and Mahulda Bodkins Smith. Nathan Smith was born in 1822 and Mahulda Bodkins was born in 1827.

My husband's aunt (a great, great granddaughter of Nathan and Mahulda Smith) says Mahulda was Mahulda Bodkins. But in the censuses it gives the impression that Mahulda was a Simmons.

In the 1850 census, a Sarah Simmons lives with Nathan and Mahulda.
In the 1860 census, a Sallie Simmons lives Nathan and Mahulda.
In the 1870 census, a Sallie Bodkins lives with Josiah Bodkins family.
In the 1880 census, Sallie Simmons lives with Joseph Bodkins family and is listed as Mother/Boarder.

Could Sallie Simmons have been married twice?
Could Mahulda Smith and Joseph Bodkins be brother and sister? Joseph was born in 1834.

I will appreciate any information to help me find out about Nathan Smith and his wife Mahulda Bodkins Smith.

POW/MIA Korean War, Pendleton Co. LAMBERT

raysestak126 — 10 Feb 2007 4:41:28 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Franklin as his home of record.

Soldier: CHARLES ARNOLD LAMBERT
Born: June 1, 1932, Caucasian
Date of loss: April 1, 1953, MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 54 families in West Virginia that have not been located. There is one family from Pebdleton County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Kincaid/Nelson marriage

Vera (Ayers) Tinney — 4 Nov 2006 5:33:50 GMT

Looking for info on Mary M. Kincaid that married Elijah Nelson in Greenbrier Co. June 1810. They are my GGGG Grandparents. The marriage bond shows Samuel Kincaid gave concent for his daughter, Mary Kincaid to Marry Elijah Nelson. I'm looking for Mary Kincaid's mother's name. There seems to have been two Samuel Kincaids in Greenbrier about that same time. We think Mary was born about 1796.
My theory is Mary Kincaid was the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Thatcher) Kincaid. The timing would be right but I don't have proof. I' m sure Mary Kincaid Nelson died in Pendleton Co, (W)VA about 1840. Elijah drowned in 1845 at Judy's Ford in Pendleton Co. Their oldest son, Samuel Kincaid Nelson was my GGG grandfather. Any help would be appreciated.

William & Barbara (Waldron) Hedrick

Eve Marie — 9 Sep 2006 4:56:19 GMT

Need info on this family particularly Virginia Hedrick.
William Hedrick b. abt. 1797 s/o Henry & Mary (Judy) Hedrick
Barbara (Waldron) Hedrick b. abt. 1815
dau. Mary J. b. abt. 1846
dau. Virginia "Jane" b. May 1847
son John b. abt. 1849
son Geo. H. b. abt. 1855

This family was listed in the 1850 & 1860 (Upper Tract) Pendleton Co., Census.
I need confirmation that the Virginia "Jane" Hedrick is the same Jane Hedrick listed below.

Constable Kile settled Jane's estate. She died in 1916. Uncle Berlin used to say "We should've been Kile's not Hedrick's" Implying that Jane's children (at least William) were fathered by a man named Kile.
1870 Census states Jane could not write.
1880 Census states Jane was 23...should have been 33, listed in household of Aaron J. Sites as a servant. William Strite Hedrick and "Viney" (her children) were not listed in that household.
1910 Census states Jane could read and write but "deaf and dumb" box is checked. (Believed to have had a stroke from bad moonshine) Also states Jane had 2 children and 2 children survived. She owned her house mortgage free.
1900 Census states that Jane could read and write. She owned her house mortgage free. Also DOES NOT list her children or any info pertaining to her having children.
All Censuses state Jane was single. Never married. Also lists her parents as born in WV.
1870-1910 Living in Upper Tract, Mill Run Twp., Pendleton Co., WV. Occupation for those yrs: Wash woman, laborer-housework. Any help appreciated!!
Anyone familiar with the Upper Tract area, Jane's Well is the well that sat on or near Jane Hedrick's property bordering the Old McClung farm (so I've heard from other researchers). I've heard its still called "Jane's Well" after all this time.

I am looking for information concerning Zachariah and Emma CONNELL. They had a daughter Sarah Jane b. 9/30/1885 in Pendleton Co., per wvculture.org.

On 12/24/1902 Sarah Jane CONNELL m. Andrew Russell DAVEY in Hampshire Co.. The records in Romney say that he was from Hampshire Co. and she was from Pendleton Co. but lives in Hampshire Co.

Sarah J. DAVY d. 8/28/1906 of consumption. She was 20. This information was found at the court house in Romney as well.

The 1860 Romney census has a Zachariah CONNELL age 21. Born in WV.
The 1870 Franklin Co. OH census has a Zachariah CONNELL age 33 from VA.
1920 Jefferson Co. OH census lists a Zachariah CONNELL age 81, widower and from WV in the Central Branch for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.

Does anyone have any information that they would like to share on this family?

Thanks,

cemetery query

betty wood houghton moore — 29 Jul 2006 4:47:51 GMT

The burial place of Isaac Wood(died 1803) is what I'm looking for. He and wife Rachel Ramey Wood lived not too far from Seneca Rock, Timber Ridge I believe. Is there a cemetery in that area that anyone is aware of?
Isaac and Rachel lived there for a little over 20 yrs. After Isaac died Rachel went to live with children in Ohio. Thanks for any help. Would love to hear from anyone interested in this research.

Looking for the parents of Aaron Helmick. Our cemetery card says born 1850. He died in McLean county, Illinois on Mar. 11, 1910.
His wife was Elizabeth (Ferris) d/o Milton and Susan (Davis) Ferris. Don't have marriage date.
