Chris Permela Shuman is my 4th Great-grandmother. Sara Temple/Kendall/Shuman has been a stone wall to me for at least 2 years now. Here is a sample of what I have found. According to the book: William Kennedy & Related Families of McFarlands Run Monongalia Co. Va./WV 1780-1890 On April 26, 1819, the wedding of William Kennedy, Jr. and Jacob K. Straight took place to the twin Shaman girls: Helen (Ellen) and Permelia. The twin Shuman girls were married at the home of their stepfather, Henry Shuman. They were married at the age of 24. Helen (Ellen) married William Kennedy, Jr. Permelia married Jacob Straight Monongalia Co. Marriage Records. Ellen (dau. of Henry Shuman) m: 4-26-1819, William Kennedy Matilda (dau. of Henry Shuman) m: 3-12-1829, Lemuel H. Riggs. Note: No Record of Permelia's marriage. Certificate of Death Permelia Straight (Shuman) d: 3-17-1874 Parents: "Blank" & Sarah Kendall There has been a lot of confusion about Henry and Sarah. Any other help would be greatly appreciated. This is about all I have and most of it I found researching my Straight Line. Sarah may have started out as Sarah Temple, then became Sarah Temple Kendall and later Sarah Temple Kendall Shuman. Permelia may not have been a Shuman after all. If so then I may be barking up the wrong tree. James has done a great job with the Web Site and I'll be a little disappointed if she isn't. Seems like a great bunch of folks. Right now I'll consider myself adopted. Don Humphrey Fairmont, WV
