________________________________ hi Dick-- I was sorry to hear about your son's stroke, but I hope he is getting better by now. i had the good fortune yesterday to meet your sister Barbara and ask her my questions regarding the Abraham Bennett property. She was able to give some answers, and still leave me things to discover. I hope you are doing well this spring, - it sure looks good to see flowers after all the snow. Best wishes, Nancy Price Biggs

I am trying to locate a photo of Love Hickman so I can compare it with one I have. I believe the woman in the photo is Love Hickman - 1840 - 1918 - m. Richard Ritter. I think the photo was taken around 1909/1910 You can e-mail me at >[email protected]<

Very interesting, Ethel!! There is a website that relates to this subject a bit. It's the Melungeon Heritage Association, whose mission is "to document and preserve the heritage and cultural legacy of mixed-ancestry peoples in or associated with the southern Appalachians". http://www.melungeon.org/ "Melungeon" came to mean a mixture of white, black, and/or Indian. Be sure to read the "About the Melungeons" page. You might also do a keyword search once at this website for "West Virginia". I researched this subject many years ago when I was looking for an Indian ancestor (no luck), but haven't checked it out in a long while. Sharon

Anyone Interested re slaves in Clarksburg. Here is what I have found about David Morrison who came to Crooked Run around 1840 from Virginia. The Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram Newspaper on March 22, 1998, carried an article about the Sardis Baptist Church's 150th anniversary. A lot of the Baptist churches in Harrison County were organized with the aid of the Sardis Baptist Church; many of the early churches served as schools and the Lambert's Run Church is one of the few one-room churches that still exists. The church leader explained that included in the early archives of the church is the notation that in February 1851,Amelia, a colored slave woman, belonging to David Morrison was received for Baptism and accepted into the church May 17, 1851. It was practically unheard of for a colored person to be admitted to a white church. In describing the church, before the updating in 1972, the Rev. Loar said it was an old shiplap side building with a double entry in the front which was the standard in the late 1800's The right side was for men and the left was for ladies, and, the seating in the church was split that way. The church seats were hand-built out of Poplar plants and still in use in 1972. Two of David’s sons, William and Thomas, were neighbors of Peter W. Ash on Crooked Run; they all went fox hunting together and frequently took the Morrison slaves ( Jack, Joe, George, Mose, Beverly, Armstrong & Ed) along who entertained them with Virginia Plantation songs.

The West Virginia Harrison County Genealogical Society Web Site has been updated with the new Ruby's Notes. Remember, if you have missed any of Ruby's Notes you can find them all in the "Archives". All the best, Dick Web Master http://www.wvhcgs.com

The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date with 8 members in attendance. Due to the absence of both the president and vice president, David Houchin, presided over the meeting. David did purchase some books from the Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants, since the last meeting: Family stories & Bible Records taken from the Clarksburg Exponent Telegram: 1933 and Volumes 3 & 4. Yesteryears: Volumes: 1986-1987-1988-1989-1990 & 1991. 1910 Census of Upshur County, WV. Lewis County Death Records: Volume 111 1906-1929 Cemeteries of Lewis County & Adjacent Counties: Machpelah Cemetery. Betty Waugh stated that when she mailed the last newsletter, she was told that postage will probably be going up again in the near future. Also be sure if you move and change your mailing address, it is important to let us know, as the newsletters will not be forwarded. David, said that our member Diane Zimmerman had new publications which we are going to purchase. A report was given on the Scottish Heritage Festival and although they only sold one book, they gave out several packets with genealogy charts and a pen, and they also had a lot of questions about how to join the society. It was also discussed that we may need to buy some type of shelter to take with them to other festivals. The Scottish Heritage Festival furnished the shelter, but most places do not. Other festivals discussed were the Black Heritage Festival, the Apple Butter Festival, Shinnston Frontier Days and the Blackberry Festival. The committee from the Scottish Heritage Festival said that Diana Johnson did an exceptional job. Thanks, Diana. Since, Ted Wolfe, president could not be in attendance today, he was at the Waldomore yesterday and read all of the scholarships and left his opinions on them to be matched with the committee that stayed after the meeting to read them. Donna Henline of Weston was talking to a member and she said, the DAR from Weston, Buckhannon and Fairmont would like to go to Washington, DC this year and was wondering if we were considering a trip. If anyone is interested in taking another trip to DC let David Houchin at the Waldomore know. There also was a discussion on our annual picnic and we decided it might be best just to go out to a restaurant and eat like we do for the Christmas dinner. We tentatively set the date for Saturday, August 14th, without a time or a restaurant. It will be discussed more at the June meeting. Which restaurant would you like to go to? Betty Waugh said that Darrell's inurnment will be held at 2:00 P.M. on the 23rd of May at the Heavener Cemetery in Buckhannon, WV. You are invited to attend. The next meeting will be held on June 5th. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE MOTHERS ON THE LIST. Ruby Casto Membership Chairman of HCGS
