Hello, I am looking for information regarding a John Johnson or Johnston married to a Susan Day. This John was born around 1822-1823. They had five children, Abraham, George, James, Sarah Jane and Mahali. I believe that they were in Harrison co around 1850. Then they went back to Taylor Co. Thank you. Sally Havens

In relation to Ferrells (Ferrill, O'Ferrell) in Calhoun Co. You may be connected to the Lewis Ferrell group that came into Lewis before 1850. I have that line if you would like to compare names, dates, etc. Jean

Hi Cathy and Suzanne, I would like to ask if either of you have a Sarah Carter married to Elijah Riley about 1812 in Harrison County. They later lived in Lewis County then moving to Kanawha and Roane County areas with their children. I don't even have the names of her parents. She is listed in the 1830 Lewis County census as being in the 40-50 age range.

Thank you, Brian, for the time and effort you've put into the lookups. You are appreciated. Now, go have a real life. ;-) Thanks for looking.

Bill McAfee, if you will contact me directly I can put you in touch with a number of the Monongahela Valley Straight & Dragoo researchers!!!

Brian, thank you for the time you took to do the lookup I requested. I don't blame you for backing off. I was getting tired of seeing that subject in the list. It was nice of you to offer to do the lookups but, like you said, enough is enough.

My Justus Heck is the last son born to Johann Yost Heck and his first wife Marsa Ann Goff. He was born in 1799. David the father of the other Justus Heck was the son of Johann Yost Heck and his second wife Susannah Exline. As for the Kern side, I am still researching that line to see if there is any connection between the Smith family and Aaron Kern from Monongalia Co. Sherry

Brian. Charles McIntire Sr. b. 1720, Charles McIntire Jr b. 1762, Charles III b. 1808 and John McIntire d. 1791. Thanks very much. You are so kind to do so many look ups. Arlene

Dear Kathy, My two Carter lines are: Carter Line #1 I have a David Carter b 13 Feb 1818 in Lewis Co Married 1842 to Millisin (Mellison/Millicent) Maxwell, daughter Julia Ann Carter Haney wife Francis 'Frank' Marion Haney b Upshur Co lived Ten Mile Harrison Co. Carter line #2 I have a Barasheba Carter (father Carter unknown) (mother possibly Davis) married David Campbell b abt 1795 in VA or TN, son Joshua Campbell, b.Greene Co Tn If the Carter line #1 looks promising I can get out the sibling list for at least Julia Ann Carter Haney, and may have more on David Carter's generation. I have NOTHING on Carter line #2. Hope that helps.
