Elizabeth Anice Efaw is my grandmother, she (married Joseph French Lough), she was b.1875 probably in WV. I would like to know who her parents and siblings were. I found a Flossie Efaw (Haught) on internet and I am pretty sure Elizabeth was related to Flossie but I don't know how. There was also an uncle Marion Efaw that I believe was related. Any information you can give me about this branch of Efaw will be appreciated. Thank You Bobbie

Bobbie: Just recently read your post re Flossie Efaw. I have Flossie Efaw married John P. Haught and had the following children: Myrel L., Dorothy M., Billy, Marion V., Norma G., Arleen R., Colleen F., Mary Jo, Jimmie A., and Isaac. That is all the info I have on them. I am looking for the family of Minerva Jane Efaw b. 1862 in Monongalia Co. WV who married Jesse M. Haught. Minerva is the daughter of Thomas Efaw and Catherine Yost. Thomas is the son of Jesse Efaw and Melinda Thomas.

It was great to hear from you! When I was looking for Flossie Efaw I didn't have as much information as I have now. I was actually wanted to know about Elizabeth Anice Efaw. She married my grandfather Joseph French Lough. I believe she is a sister to your Minerva Jane. Thanks again.

I judt happened to see the post on Efaw and thought it was interesting. When I was growing up, I had a Pastor Melvin V. Efaw that grew up around Mannington, WV, I think. He Pastored Grace Gospel Church in Huntington, WV, for 42 1/2 years. He had a son that Pastored in Cross Lanes, WV, for several years. His name was James.

Larry: Thank you for your response. Can you give me a timeline on the Pastor Melvin V. Efaw and his son James? I don't as yet have names of my great-grandmother's siblings -- this may be helpful.
Also, is it a coincidence that your last name is the same as the last name of my great-great-grandmother Catherine (Katy) Yost. She was married to Thomas Efaw. That is all I have is her name.

Larry: Thank you again for your response. The Melvin Efaw you mentioned is a brother to my great-grandmother, Minerva Jane Efaw Haught. He started his ministry here in the Columbus OH area; a "cousin" came from Belmont County OH to this area with Melvin's father when she was a very young girl to listen to him at one of his early stations. She was not surprised to find that he had gone back to the area in WV where the family came from.
Thanks again!!!

Re: children of Jesse Efaw and Melinda Thomas
Just wondering, was that Jessie Efaw son of Thomas Marian Efaw and Ellen Phebe Stiles?

Re: children of Jesse Efaw and Melinda Thomas
No, the Jesse Efaw I have listed is son of David Efaw and Catherine Climan. Sorry, but good luck!
