I am looking for information on a Jonathan McBride (circa b.1806) in Maryland. He died in St. Clairsville Ohio, Belmont County about 1855. He is buried with his wife in the St. Clairsville Methodist Cemetery He married a Mary Harrison. If anyone has any information and/or are familiar with the McBrides in Belmont Co. please email me direct. Thank You Jan

Sorry - should have know better - I'll resend. ____________________________________________________ It was probably my list that you saw. Rachel & Malichi Bumgardner are buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery. I'll attach that list again. Are Bumgardner's in your line? There are a few more Bumgardner's buried there that aren't on the list because there are no Headstones. I don't have the dates at this moment, but I can tell you that John Westley Bumgardner and his wife, Massie Daily Bumgardner are buried right in front of Rachel & Malichi. John Westley is a brother of Malichi - who are both sons of John M Bumgardner & Anna Scott. John M Bumgardner had a brother named Marion and their parents were Nicholas & Sarah Fortner Bumgardner. If you connect to any of these, we should compare notes.

Dear List, Some of you have probably watched me struggle with my Powell family. Today, I have a final piece of evidence that leads me to feel confidence in announcing, Joseph Powell born 1780 Shenandoah County, Virginia was the son of Richard and Sarah Powell. We found the burial site of Joseph's wife, Mary Brook Powell, in Feeny Cemetery Pleasants County, West Virginia. She died June 7, 1855. Then this was found at the Pleasants County Courthouse: "Pleasants County Marriage Register Bk. 1 dated 12 Feb. 1856: Husband: (blank), Age: 76, Widower, Born: Shen. Va., Parents: R.&S. Powell Wife: (blank), Age: 54, Widow, Born: Wood County, Parents: D.&M. Limeson" As there are no other Joseph Powells in the area, the age is right, the birthplace is right, he was a widower at this time and he owned the property now known as the Cal Martin Farm where the Feeny Cemetery is located, I'm calling it confirmed. This is as primary as I'll probably get. No will can be found in Pleasants County for Joseph. Too bad the names weren't written for Joseph and the unknown second wife but someday I hope to find her too. Anyway I wanted to share this with everyone. I hope I'll be able to confirm Barnabas, Abner and Joshua Powell as sons of Richard and Sarah Powell in the near future. I'll keep you posted. Thanks to everyone for all your help!!!!

Virginia (and all), I hadn't heard anything about this previously. Anyone else? I have always been so pleased to use Rootsweb without a fee and was thinking about submitting my lines to World Connect. However, if there is going to be a fee, I will stick to the Family Search site. I'm relatively sure that will continue as a free source. Would like to hear from others regarding any other confirmations of this change with Rootsweb. Lorraine Quillon lorraineq@juno.com On Wed, 21 Jun 2000 22:28:29 -0400 "Don A.
