Sam, I, too, am very interested in the Warnick/Paugh family that Pat discusses below. Just to add a couple tidbits of information, the head of the household, whose name is recorded in family tradition as William Warnick, was listed with different given names in early records. These names include Henry and "Burr". A marriage license dated January 7, 1871 lists him (at least I think it is him) and Mary Ann Paugh. We have the curious circumstance that two Warnick men (my ancestor Joseph William Warnick and Pat's husband's ancestor William Warnick) married two Paugh women (Sarah Catherine Paugh and Mary Ann/Jane Paugh). Both Warnick men were born in the mid-1800s. Their households were located within several miles of one another. Joseph William Warnick and Sarah Catherine Paugh obtained a marriage license on December 21, 1860. The other Warnick couple obtained a marriage license on January 7, 1871. Might there be a connection? Walt Warnick ---------------------------- Patricia Hook wrote: >Sam, >William (Clay ?) Warnick and family did live in Garrett Co. in 1920 Census in District No 1.

Her husband John A. Hook died in Keyser, WV. of typhoid pneumonia on March 9, 1912. Flossie B. was not born yet. My father in law, Earl Clarence Hook, was only abt. 10 yrs. old. John A. Hook was buried at Hitchcock Tunnel in Garrett Co. (According to USGS--Hitchcock Tunnel is located near Kitzmiller) The Hooks always told me they were from the Swanton, Strecker Station area.
