I tried all combinations of this name for 1900, but found none of the family. I did find the following information: George Edward Rankin b. 6 May 1880 Roundbottom, WV, d.1959, son of John Daniel and Annie (Litten) Rankin. James F. Rankin b. 18 Sep 1889, Martinsburg, Berkley , WV to John and Anna E. Rankin. John W.E. Rankins b 2 Oct 1876, Mineral WV to John and Annie Rankins. I hope some of this helps.

Have looked up all the Morgan co. census but he is not there. Can someone who has the MD 1900 census look up Washington Co and see if they can find him there. His name is George E Rankin born 1880. his brothers and maybe his mother. There are Ann E Rankin mother, dob 1858 ? His brothers John W, age 24 Clarence W, 17, Samuel A,13,?and James F,about 8 months. They were living in Martinsburg?in 1896 when there father died. They maybe living with family since there mother was from MD. Maybe they are in Martinsburg in 1900, it is a dead in there. I find them later in?the next census. Can someone help ME.????
