Hi Peggy, Harrison County Census for 1860 lists: McCarty, Timothy, Ire, Laborer Frances, 28 VA James W., 7, Va Henry T., 5, Va Mary J, 3, Va John W., 2, Va Charles 9/12, Va Michael, 50, Ire, Laborer There are no McCARTHYs listed in either 1850-1860-1870 Don't know if this could be the family you are looking for or not Birth records are kept by both county and state. Official records were not kept until about 1853 but not all families began registering births, etc in the early days.

To the List, Is there a family census listing for each household with children published for the 1850, 1860, or 1870 census of Harrison County, VA? I would like to know where to go to look for the family of Timothy and Eliza McCarthy. They had a child, Mary Jane McCarthy (or Mary Ann) born August l5, 1854 Clarksburg Virginia according to her death certificate. I have contacted West Virginia with no success for a birth record. Are birth records kept by the state or by the County? Timothy McCarthy was born in Cork County, Ireland and married Eliza Smith, born 4-4-1837 in Ireland. Her parents were Jane Hughes and James Smith. Mary Jane McCarthy married George Wm Watson 6-23-1874 probably in St. Louis. If anyone has suggestions on how to follow up, I would be ecstatic. Thank you all so much for all the interesting news and information you are posting. I am a newby.

I am working on one of the families that tie into my Jenkins clan, and was wondering if anyone could help me with this one. I show Flavius (Flave) McIntire (McIntyre) married first to Bertha Cumberlidge; and second to Lula Jenkins. He left this second wife and took one of his sons, Ernest Charles McIntyre to Illinois. Lula (Jenkins) McIntyre lived mostly in Clarksburg, East View, and Despard. They had seven children: Ernest Charles, born 5 Oct 1917 in Pennsboro; Leroy, 1924-1963; buried Coplin Cemetery, Harrison Co.; Homer (no data); Susie (no data); Mary (born ca 1919); was taken in by a family of Boilin, that lived in Linn, (Gilmer Co.) WV; Minnie (1915-Dec 13, 1937) married Archie Rollins. They had two children: Dorothy Lou (b: 1935) and Thomas (b: 1937). They lived in Despard in 1937; and Edith (1922-Dec 13, 1937). The two sisters were killed in an accident in Flemington WV. They were in a car that ran into a train. Anyone having any knowledge of this family, please get in touch with me.

This is wonderful. I believe the first printing was 1899 or so, second and third have lots of pictures as well as the 1950 or 60 printing.

Wonderful Idea. I will see what I can do. Sherry

Hi members, In Sunday Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram there is an Auction, this Saturday, the 16th at Bridgeport, W. Va. on Newton St. at 10:00 A.M. There are several books that our society might be interested in, One is the Daughter of the Elm. Bettrine, Betty Rinehart

For those of us who live out of state and can't get to the library - is there any chance of publishing portions of those online or in our newsletter?

Sharon, Do you know in which OH regiment he served? Cav or Infantry? Where he enlisted? Some wealthy families could afford to bring them back home for interment. Some burial sites have no logic. If I were in Ohio, I'd go to a large library and look for regimental histories. We in Mich. have the "Brown" books with an alphabetic index and individual volumes by regiment giving a brief bio w/ all known military info, including woundings, date & place of death AND burial. If in a Nat'l cemetery, even the plot number. How else can I help? Good hunting.

Hi Jean, There is a nice write up of The Righters in "Ramblings" by Jack Sandy Anderson. It should be in the Harrison Library. It tells he was a friend of the Eversons and close neighbors and other things. Sherry

Hi Jean, I will see what I have. I believe I read once it was next farm but not sure. Sherry

In one of the letters there was a mention of the area being close to the Peter Righter's farm. Though all my family way back, is from the Marion Co. area , I ws born and always have lived in Pa., so I am not familiar with the local history, other than what I have read in books. Do know from Glenn Lough's "Now and Long Ago" of the attack on Peter Righter's house during the Civil War. My great grandfather , according to Lough , was in the house at the time Is there a connection between the Dyeson Gang and Righter? Jean Smith

Thank you very much, Bill. Seeing your Civil War organization credentials, your advice holds even more weight. I checked both Military & Pension papers of my Union soldier - Robert Bramhall Jr. of Ohio - and neither make mention of burial place. Logic tells me it had to be close to the hospital. Congratulations to your father on his 91st! It sounds like you have great genes! Thank you AND everyone else for your good wishes for Mom.. she's doing better this week. <Sharon><

Sharon, Your question doesn't have an easy answer, as you probably already deduced. It is more likely (than the county) that the Civil War soldier's death was recorded by the state under which he served. There were beau coups more state troops serving in the CW than "U.S. Regulars", i.e., those serving in Federal forces. IF he was Union, many of the states made regimental histories giving, per state, various degrees of info on each soldier. We (Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War) are currently working on a national project, by state, to record all the known graves of all the soldiers, sailors & marines who served between 1861-65. If you would like, you can access the national website at http://suvcw.org , then link down to the state (we say "department") organization. Many of us are further broken down to the local chapters or "camps". I, for instance, am in the camp for Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti, one of 26 camps in the Dept. of Michigan. You can then contact the camp for the area he was from and see if they have any information on him. If you want to contact me directly with what information you have, perhaps I can give more specific suggestions. IF he was Reb, then you need to go to the state archives for the state in which he served. Their descendants' organization, Sons of Conderate Veterans, is also very active in keeping records and has an active website, altho I have not rec'd any help from them, yet. By the way, I just returned a few hours ago from another whirlwind visit to Clarksburg to celebrate Dad's 91st yesterday. Give your mother our best. God Bless the USA!

Is a soldier listed in the death records of the county in which he died? Pension papers never seem to mention where the soldier is buried. I know that many were removed to central graves at times. I am looking for a soldier who died in the hospital at Martinsburg (Berkeley County) WV. The nearest national cemetery is in Winchester, but my soldier is not there, so I thought he might be buried locally. Sharon

I remember now when reading this I was a little confused because I heard it as the Everson Gang and then she called it the Dyson Gang. Maybe it changed hands! LOL

This is me for sure. Thank you, Sherry

Thank you, I really like this tidbit. I wonder if that works? I do remember reading that the blacksmith was in on the workings. Sherry

Thank you, this was a great share. Yes, genealogy can get a little dull, and a good story can really spice it up! Sherry

DARN! I was hoping to find an ancestor in that gang. That is what makes genealogy so interesting. Found a notorious one in PA. Davy Lewis--the Robin Hood of the Pennsylvania Hills. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. His mother was Elizabeth Drenning sister of my GGG Grandfather John Drenning. Irene

Also anyone interested in this story should read: Other Days by Jack Sandy Anderson and also Ramblings by Jack Sandy Anderson. Both are in Harrison Library and absolutely wonderful books.
