Flesher, Flusher, Henshaw & VanHorn

Surnames: Flesher, Flusher, VanHorn, Henshaw, McCoy, Dodd
Hoping for help on the following: Peter Flesher, Married to Melvena VanHorn, all James' with the Flesher/Flusher surname. I have managed to trace my grandfather, James Roselle Flusher to mother: Victoria Henshaw (Flesher) Later Smith (Angus) J.R. was born in WV, lived in Beaver, PA, where he married my grandmother, Opal Mae Dodd (Dodd/McCoy, to granddaughter to Christopher Columbus McCoy who apparently sired 27 kids. We're so proud). The Dodd/McCoy line I was successfully able to trace to 1435 Scotland, but I've dead-ended on all the Flesher/Flusher's. Areas of import: VA, WV (specifically Jackson, Roane and Gilmer Counties) and Beaver Falls, PA. Thanks!

I have a Permelia Van Horn marrying George Brissey - is she in your line? Her father was Job Van Horn and mother Catharine Kennedy. I have Permelia's birth at July 14, 1849 in Lost Creek, W. Virginia. They had 12 children who were raised on a farm near Berea, Ritchie Co.

Permelia is my ancestors sister. so, yes there is a connection, thanks for the additional information (I'm still stunned by the sizes of some of these families. I have one who sired 27 children by 2 women.)
