The Aaron Tawney that I knew was the brother of George T.Tawney and Dave Tawney. Geroge T. was my grandfather, also Aaron had a son, Ernest who was a school teacher in the Charleston,W.Va. area. Aaron and Dave lived in Roane County, W.Va. My Grandfather spent most of his life in Nicholas County, W.Va. Hope I am being helpful to you-if so I will try and find out more. Mary

Hi, I found this in the Parkersburg (WVa) News and Sentinel and thought I would pass it along. Sorry for your loss.

G. Garrison Tawney
G. Garrison Tawney, 90, of Looneyville, W.Va., died Sept. 14, 2004, at his home after a sudden illness.
He was born Nov. 11, 1913, in Newton, W.Va., a son of the late Aaron and Almon Graham Tawney. He was a 1935 Spencer High School graduate and a 1940 graduate of Marshall College where he was a member of Alpha Kappa Pi. He was a school teacher and principal in Roane County for 36 years before retiring from Left Hand Elementary School in 1976. His greatest love was cattle farming. His hobby was gas well leasing. In his younger years, he enjoyed fox hunting, deer and turkey hunting.
He is survived by two daughters and their husbands, Lela Anne and Vernon Goff of Hurricane, W.Va., and Janice Evelyn and Clifford Cooper of Eden, Md.; four grandsons and their wives, Matthew and Penny Goff of Hurricane, Nathan and Amy Goff of Burbank, Calif., Adam and Caren Goff of Owings Mills, Md., and Aaron and Betsey Cooper of Snow Hill, Md.; three sisters, Mamie Haines of Newton, Florence Dalton of Vienna and Anna Desposito of Rio Rancho, N.M.; and four brothers, Clement Tawney of Left Hand, Clark Tawney of Wallback, W.Va., Jarrett "Buzz" Tawney of Spencer and Dan Tawney of Newton.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Frieda Evelyn Vineyard Tawney; one sister, Mabel Rogers; and two brothers, Ernest and Harry Tawney.
Service will be 2 p.m. Friday at the Taylor-Vandale Funeral Home, Spencer, with the Rev. Mike King officiating. Burial will be in the Vineyard Family Cemetery, Looneyville. Visiting hours are scheduled for two hours prior to the service at the funeral home.
The family suggests donations be made to the Roane County Historical Society, PO Box 161, Spencer, WV 25276 or the Clay County Historical Society, c/o E.J. Boggs, 110-1 White St., Charleston, WV 25301.

I just completed an 8x10 book, over 300 pages, Family History of L. Mabel Tawney and Ernest F. Rogers - Third Edition and you can find it on Amazon.com. This sounds like you are my relative. My grandfather was Aaron Tawney of Dog Creek and he donated space on his farm for the Dog Creek School to be built so the children in the area would have a place to go to school.
Aaron had 12 brothers and sisters. The brothers were Daniel “Link” Tawney, David Jackson Tawney, Hiram J. Tawney, George William Tawney, Samuel Richard Tawney, James M. Tawney, Christopher and William H. Tawney. My book has the ancestors and descendants of my parents, Mabel Tawney and Ernest Rogers. The book includes several lines. It is not necessarily a narrative, but it should be very helpful in your search as it goes back to Johan Jacob Tawney., born about 1720.
