Hi Stan, The name of the book is" Genealogies of West Virginia Families" from the West Virginia Historical Magazine Quarterly,1901-1905 Published by Clearfield. Standard Book No 0-8063-4692-2. Pages 555-557 You might be able to find the book through interlibrary loan at your local library, or purchase a subscription at Family Tree Maker. It runs about 50 dollars a year for their library access. Since I live about an hour a way from a library that is limited to primarily Texas family histories, the price of a subscribtion makes sense to me, but may be high for others. I hope this answers your question.
