Thanks to this list for hooking me up with a Bailey cousin! This is the first one I have met, and I am so fortunate to find a co-researcher. My Bailey grandmother went on to Mt. Lake Park MD as a young adult, so I haven't had much WV information. Beverly Walter

Beverly---I am not the expert you wanted on the Rev. War (or anything else, for that matter). However, I think you and I are descended from the same Joseph Bailey. Mine was born 15 September 1809, married Mary (sometimes listed as Sarah or Polly) Smith 11 March 1830, died 26 September 1875. He was a minister. Both are buried at the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, near where Harrison, Doddridge and Lewis Counties come together. I am descended through their eldest daughter, "Esty", who was born 12 January 1831 and married Christopher Carder 19 January 1848. Let's compare notes (if you wish). My records are all hard copy (as compared to computerized) but I would be happy to make copies and send you.

Looking for a Harrison Co expert on Revolutionary War pensioners. Does the State Archives have these records? I see a Joseph Baley listed in Harrison VA militia with notes started 1834. Does anyone know which Joseph Bailey this was? I descend from Joseph Blackwell Bailey in Harrison County whose lifespan was 1809-1875. Thanks for any help.

I also know of a gentleman who is very familiar with Blacksville, lives in that area. Maybe I could ask him to write a little something for this list, if people are interested. Beverly Railey Walter

For folks looking into Blacksville, which is half Greene Co PA and half Monongalia County, WV, here are some ideas: http://www.pa-roots.com/~greene/ There is also a site on genforum.com. Type in Greene Co Pa and several Greene Co's will come up you have to go down till you come to PA. I hope this helps. Beverly Railey Walter

Thanks so much. I'll look forward to seeing and/or hearing from you as soon as your schedule permits. Please don't rush as my tree will continue grow without having to prune it without any problems. It looks like I wasn't the only person with that query. Again, Thank You. Anna

Till I was in my 20's and had a family of my own ,I traveled for 7 hours from central Pa, to Fairmont to see my grandparents. I used to entertain myself thinking what it would be like traveling these roads in a covered wagon. Didn't know a lot of genealogy then, but was always delighted when we passed my great grandfather John Rice's house below Rivesville on #19, other places where relatives had lived. At 72 ,when I come down occasionally, still fell the excitement of locating those places. Now we go down #79 to my brothers in Charleston and pass Shinston, Saltwell, and other places my Grandmother Binns used to mention. Like your daughter, my husband is probably tired of hearing me say " That is where so and so lived." Though I have noticed he slows down when we pass these areas. Jean Binns Smith

Ethel, Try this web page by Mariana Zuelsdorf. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/z/u/e/Mariana-L-Zuelsdorf/GENE56- 0008.html#CHILD15 This page should hook up with Mercy Bradstreet. It's been a while since I have looked at Mariana's web page. Maybe I will take a looksy. My paternal grandmother was a Loofboro. As a matter of fact her father was a Reverend at the Seventh Day Baptist church in Lost Creek in the 1930's.

Beverly Yes, ask him. Have him include an address where we might write for records.

Sharon, From what Rick Toothman said at our workshop it was a good place to get married. I guess they just drove up in their buggy or on their horse and got hitched. I am looking for the marriage date of Elias Martin and Mary Magdalene "Maggie" Nay and in his Civil War records he states he was married in 1852 in Blacksville, PA.

Hey! This may just be the answer to a long time nagging question in our Anderson family tree. Newton Anderson and his bride, Catherine Rebecca Kerr, married in 1870, in Pennsylvania. by Rev. John West. Mom (Mary Va.Sprouse) & I often wondered the reason for going there - thinking it may have been because of family ties there or something. Not only was the Kerr family originally from (Greene Co.) Pennsylvania, but Newt's older brothers were born in Pennsylvania - so through the years, Mom & I concentrated on possible connections there. BUT it could have been as SIMPLE as being a favorite place to have a wedding! Period! Thanks for the tip! Wait till I tell Mom about this one.... Sharon Bramhall

Hi Does anyone have any information about Mercy Bradstreet who married Nathaniel Wade back in the mid 1600's in Mass. Her mother was Ann Dudley and the line comes down to the Harbert brothers who married the Loofbourrow sisters. Thanks for any information. Ethel

Ruby Do you have an address where I could write for a record?

There is a woman, whose name and address I have at the office, who is working on a history (centennial?) of Blacksville. If anyone is interested,email me at bez4@aol.com. Beverly Railey Walter

Ruby, Bill,s grandparents were married in Blacksville, PA. according to the records. We drove to Blacksville last summer and it appears to be in WV and PA. They were married in the mid 1870's. Jerry

Patricia, We use to go through Blacksville on our way to OH back in the 50's and we went by the way of Farmington, Fairview, Daybrook, Blacksville, Burrgetstown, Chester, WV and seemed like every town in Oh had a circle around the town square. Now interstates and you just zoom by and miss everything. I didn't know back then that I would be interested in someone getting married around a tree in Blacksville.

It's also 218 in PA. Anyway, my guess is that 218 would follow the route that our ancestors traveled to go to Blacksville to get married. Does anyone else do that when they are driving? Think that they are going over the same ground that their g-g-grandparents did? David said that the back road from the Meadowbrook Mall (the Summit Park Road) follows a road that was originally made for Benjamin Wilson when he was the first county clerk of Harrison County. Sometimes when we go over that road I'll mention that to my daughter. Benjamin's her ancestor on her father's side. Of course, she just usually rolls her eyes (I can hear her doing that - I keep my eyes on the road) and says "Yeah, Mom, um-hmm. That's real interesting," in a somewhat bored tone. It appears that the weather person was wrong again so I think I'll go enjoy this beautiful morning. Patricia
