Most of those Martins and Johnsons are a bit too early for me to connect to. My William Martins kids were born between 1828 and 1846 in Aid so the marriages would be later. Im guesisng some of those Johnsons and Martins you cited however, are related to My William Johnson b 1816 and my William martin b 1792. So was Lawrence County the kind of place like New England that had Church records that included baptissm and the like for the period 1825-1850?

Do you happen to have a listing for a Clement Ayers or Ayres or his wife Salome? They lived in Ironton in 1860 at the time of the census. Clement Ayers Sr. (he had a son Clement Ayers born in 1859) served 3 months in the Ohio 18th infantry in 1861, but I have no idea what happened to him after he mustered out in late August of 1861. Thanks, Triste If you can't get rid of them ugly old skeletons in the closet, at least teach 'em how to dance funny.  Billy C.

Hi I have a William Lunsford born abt 1800/1813 Most likely in VA/WV and I  am trying to locate his family. This is what I do know about him; His name was William Lunsford and at one point he was married to a woman whose given name began with the letter "L."  I know this from the marriage records of 2 sons (there may have been additional children, I just do not have any info) of this couple, as follows; SON #1 William Lunsford JR b-24 Oct 1831 in VA(WV), NO County designated on any records!    I have been unable to find a birth record, this info is from his adult census records and his death record.  He died 29 Oct 1915 in Lawrence Co, OH. On the death record of this son, William Lunsford Jr it states his parents were William Lunsford and Martha Day. He married Martha A Morris (daughter of William A Morris and wife Nancy) on 2 Nov 1855 in WAYNE Co, WV, by 1860 William Jr and Martha Morris Lunsford were living in Lawrence Co, OH....On the marriage record it states that the PARENTS of William Lunsford (JR) were Wm & "L" Lunsford.....this does not match the maternal name info given on the death record.  But does match the maternal info given on Son #2, marriage record. SON #2 Andrew Lunsford b 1838,  Kanawha Co, VA (WV) (Could this also be where his brother, William was born?)  He died 27 Dec 1899 in Ironton, Lawrence Co, OH.  The LOCATION of Birth for Andrew is from his military discharge papers.....so a reasonable good source Andrew Lunsford married Ellenor/Eleanor Haws/Hawes on 24 Jan 1859, also in WAYNE Co, WV.  On that marriage record it AGAIN states that the parents of Andrew Lunsford were Wm & "L" Lunsford.   Confirming the info given 4 years earlier by his brother William JR. My thoughts and questions; I am assuming that both of these sons KNEW the given name of their OWN mother, much better than a person with 2 generations of seperation that gave the info for the parentage of William Lunsford JR on his death certificate in 1915.  I really have been unable to find any documents dealing directly with the parents of either of the brothers, WIlliam Jr and Andrew Lunsford.  So, I do not KNOW if their father, William Lunsford Sr may have been married TWICE and the grandchildren only knew the name of his 2nd wife, Martha Day???  Who were the parents of WILLIAM LUNSFORD SR born abt 1800/1813 & where did they live.   Where, Who and When did William Lunsford Sr marry? Were there other children of William Lunsford Sr with either wife, "L" or Martha?   If ANYONE has any ideas, clues, info PLEASE contact me......as this is one of 2 of my MAJOR Brick Walls..... Could Joshua Lunsford have been related to my William Lunsford SR, a brother?  Thanks in advance for any and ALL assistance and I hope I have laid out all of this info in a logical manner.

It would perhaps help to know what time period, but a quick glance at the 1860 census for Lawrence County shows the 16 Pleasants to be a male name (nationwide it is primarily male as well). The two Welcomes (Johnson and Wilson) are female in Lawrence County, but nationwide by and large it is primarily a male name, and according to an1870 dictionary with Christian names in the back Francis with an "i" is male, though in Lawrence County in 1860 the census recorded both sexes with the 'i'. Of course census takers made a lot of errors. :-) Hope this helps.
