Karen, I don't know if you're familiar with the Harper's Ferry Area, but there is a point at which you can stand, and stretch out your hands and be in three states at once (MD,VA, WVA). As I remember it was on or near a bridge. They also say that on a good day, you can see five states from the same point.(Include PA and Ohio in the above list). Of course, there was no WVA in 1858, but what a romantic idea of joining in marriage at the union of two states. Harpers Ferry, even then, was also a popular resort. People went to see Jefferson's rock that overlooks the Potomac river. He had evidently travelled there in his early days and wrote a glowing discription of the scenery. It is beautiful!

Does anyone know how to find the church records of the Union Church in Moorefield, Hardy County, WV. The church no longer exists, but I am pretty sure that some of my ancestors are buried in that little cemetery. Any information would be really appreciated. Please respond privately.

Looking for information on William DARLING, who resided in Hampshire County, Va in the mid 1700's. Later, the family resided in Moorefield, Hardy County, VA for a period of time. A son, William Darling, Jr., purchased land in Monongalia Co., VA. Later on he moved his family to Knox County, Ohio. Please respond privately. Thank you Antje Darling antje@sunnet.net -- Hosting The Fayette County, Ohio Webpage http://www.plantel.com/pdarling/fayette/fayette.htm The Darling Genealogy HomePage http://www.plantel.com/pdarling

No there's no explanation as to why the author chose to group these states together. There are a number of these books which I'll loosely call a series. For instance, NJ, PA, and NY are also grouped into one book, etc. The info for this book originally came from The Society of the Descendants of the Colonial Clergy, which was incorporated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1933. charla in nj Charla Marchione marchpubs@juno.com On Wed, 30 Jul 1997 07:52:33 -0700 (PDT) Wally Garchow <wally@calweb.com> writes: >At 12:59 7/29/97 -0400, you wrote: >>The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware and Georgia by Frederick >Lewis >>Weis, Th.D., published by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., >Baltimore, >>MD, 1978.

I recently purchased a cd containing information on Jefferson Co., (W)VA genealogy. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the marriage, in 1858, of a Frederick Co., VA couple. The marriage announcement appeared in an Apr, 1858 issue of the Va Free Press ( out of Charles Town, (W)VA). It noted that Adam WINDLE and Hannah D. NELSON were wed by a Rev. John S. DEAL(E), on the bridge, at Harpers Ferry. Question: Was this something "romantic" to travel to be married "on the bridge"? The news item stated that the couple was from Frederick Co.. Has anyone else had relatives who were married "on the bridge". Maybe a more involved announcement would tell of the tradition? Thanks for your comments. Karen Nelson Hangsleben

I too have STUMPs in Ohio - mine are in Hocking County. I have a John, Jacob, and Phillip (altho Phillip moved to northern Ohio early). In a book about Salem Co., NJ, I found an Adam, Jacob, and Christopher STUMP who served in the Rev. War. My great-grandfather was Willis Spencer Stump from Hocking Co. There are several Willis men also listed from Salem Co. I have other lines in Hocking Co. area from southern NJ but I need to do more research here. charla in nj Charla Marchione marchpubs@juno.com On Sun, 27 Jul 1997 20:12:02 -0500 (CDT) carol wilson <cjwilson@win.bright.net> writes: >At 05:08 PM 7/27/97 -0400, you wrote: >>> Sorry about attachment. >>> SURNAMES > >>> STUMP MARY d/o John STUMP mrd William S.

Hello list, Charla Marchione responded to Karen Austin about the Owen Thomas family and this book was mentioned. I really couldn't tell if Karen had said something about it and it was quoted in Charla's reply, or not. Anyhow, I have two collateral ancestors who were married in old Frederick County Virginia on 10 Apr 1768 by a traveling minister from Frederick County Maryland. They were Jacob SURBER and Catherine {HALLER} COFFIELD. Both were of Swiss German origin from Kanton Zurich. I have been told that the marriage was recorded in Maryland, but I haven't seen the records and don't know where to look. I'd also like to know the name of this minister. He was supposedly on his third such trip through Virginia, and I would guess that he was either Lutheran or Reformed. If whoever has the "Colonial Ministers..." book could look in there for me, I'd appreciate it. Any any clues as to how to research the marriage record would also be appreciated. What little I've been able to research about Maryland marriages concerning Surbers hasn't turned up anything.
