I appreciate any help you can give. _____________ My Grandmother: Leona Maud Vanscoy Born: 14 Feb 1909 Location: Kerens, WV (Randolph County) Leona's Mother: Dessie Corrick (1880-1936) Adoptive Father: William VanScoy (married Dessie Corrick 22 April 1909) Birth Father (theory): John Haddix (there are 2 or 3 people w/ this name) Born: 1877 (or 1882?) Birth Father Death: Mining accident, Consolidated Coal Company July 28, 1909 - Fairmont WV - Shaft #38 (Was reported in Washington Post - the image of this document is in a previous post on this string) Birth Father Legal Wife: Ida Haddix (buried beside husband in 1920) Birth Father Burial location: Ice's Cemetary in Marion WV I'm trying to confirm that Leona Maude VanScoy's birth father (out of wedlock) was the John Haddix who died in the Consolidated mining accident in 1909. Leona (my grandmother), told me her birth father was a Haddix (and I think I saw the name John Haddix that she had written in a book), and that he died 6 months BEFORE she was born. I think the family changed the timeframe because she was born out of wedlock. I think her father died 6 months after her birth. I think William VanScoy married Dessie Corrick after she gave birth to Leona because she didn't have a father and the VanScoy's were connected to the Corrick family a generation or two back.
