I have quite a bit of info on the Bashor's and would be willing to send you a gedcom file. I have documented 877 individuals. I was aware of the info regarding the Civil War - desertion, etc. and the fact that he shot himself. I have a copy of a letter written by his granddaughter, Annie Rita, where she describes how he came to live with them. He was living in their home when he shot himself - she was 10. I would love a copy of the gravestone photo - I wonder why the state has no record. I do question that he was married to Margaret Delawder. I know that everyone states he was, but no one can offer proof. Joseph's youngest son, Samuel Peter, was my grandfather whom I remember well. He has two sons still living, Samuel Amos and John Alison. Both of these sons say that their grandmother's name was not Delawder, but Margaret Grubb. I have found evidence that there was both a Margaret Delawder and a Margaret Grubb born in the same year in Hardy Co., WV. Samuel Peter's death certificate lists his parents as Joseph Bashor and Margaret Grubb. I hope to solve this mystery some day. Anyway - let's exchange information!!! Verna
