Chris, Do you have anything on Michael Kerns who married Mary Guseman, daughter of Godfrey Guseman? If so, contact me at [email protected] Thanks Michael Shannon

Sherry and Brian, Thanks for cc'ing everyone on the list with your communication. On your latest round, I noted your interests in Justus Heck and in the Kerns line. I have a lot of info on Justus Heck, but first we need to determine which one you are interested in. Justus Heck served in the Civil War, whereas Youst, his grandfather, was in the Revolution. Which Kerns line are you interested in? I have the lineage of James C. Kerns (1823-1898), m. Rebecca Jane Vance. They moved to Ritchie County. Their daughter, Mary Anne Kerns, m. Albert Heck, son of Justus. Chris At 06:05 PM 2/16/01 -0700, Brian D Core wrote: ><<I too am interested in the Smith Family.

I politely, but adamantly decline to do any more lookups in The Monongalia Story. Not even one more. I replied to 27 just today! I have plumbing, auto repair, carpentry, a social life, a 50-hour work week, and my own genealogy to contend with. I'm sure that some people have unsubscribed just because of the volume I've unintentionally generated. It's been nice, but let's move on. There are other books! Brian Brian D. Core P.O.

<<Brian, It has been so nice of you to help so many people with looks up. I noticed there was a Ross listed in the index and I was wondering what line it was. If you have time could you see if there is a Henry Ross b. Jan1, 1788 married to Catherine Morgan Burris b. April 23, 1786. Their children are James (b. 1808), Elijah (b.1810), Charles (b. 1813), Andrew (b. 1815), Matilda (b. 1818), John (b. 1820), Henry Milton (b. 1823), Stephen M. (b. 1826) and Zedekiah (b. 1829) If anyone has any of this line I would be glad to share with them. Thank you. Connie>> James Ross was on the property tax list in 1786, in Francis Warman's district.

"Enoch More is entitled to one thousand acres of land in Monongalia County in the right of Preemption adjoining his settlement on Muddy Creek in the year 1775 (Greene County)." "Thomas Moore is intitled to four Hundred acres of land in Monongalia County adjoining Provence line to include his Settlement made in the year 1774. (German Twp., Fayette Co., PA)." I know that the Province family had large holdings on the banks of the Monongahela, both sides. There was a Jesse Lewellen on the school board in the Union Dist. of Monongalia Co. in 1877.

<<Brian, I'd appreciate anything you can find RE: any of the family (-ies) of John DRAGOO, Jacob STRAIGHT, Augustus BALLAH & Enoch WILLIAMS. Thank you. Bill Mc AFEE>> Jacob Straight was killed by Indians on Finch's Run, a tributary of Buffalo Creek, on 03 October 1786. His sister Elizabeth was married to John Dragoo. She was taken prisoner by the Indians, but they killed her because she was unable to keep up with them. The complete story is told in Wither's Chronicles of Border Warfare, which is inexpensive and widely available from any of the book companies that specialize in WV books. If you don't feel like buying it, you're in luck, because the entire book has been scanned and is online for free at: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/pitttext-idx.pl?notisid=00agc2223m&type=header Jacob Strait is mentioned on page 375.

<<Are there any Randolphs, Ishams, Eppes, etc. on the list?>> A Peter Randolph built a blockhouse at Salem in 1793. A bunch of people from New Jersey moved there a year later. Kind of like what happened when I lived in Raleigh in the 1980's. Peter Randolph and some of his relatives were the founders of the colony on White Day Creek. No Eppes or Ishams mentioned.

<<Hi Brian, I also hesitate to burden you with yet another request........however, if you have time.......I am looking for Roena Buck's and John Stewart's lineage. Any info on either is very greatly appreciated. Thanks so very much! Lara Underwood>> No Roena Buck listed in any of my volumes. There may be genealogical information about John Stewart/Stuart.

Don Norman got his info from my story in the Gilmer,Co.WV.History Book. I found out later that Patrick Kearns was the imagrant from County Monohan, Ireland. I found Barneys Pinsion application 1832. He signed his name Karren. They were in Hampshire,Co.Va.aft Rev war.and a German family came in soon after,by the name of KERNS. So the census people started to spell them all the same. In 1799 Patrick sold his land in Hamp.Co.& went to Monongalia,Co.& bought land,selling part to Edward,John,& Barney. Peter had died. William was a Methodist Preacher & went into the wilderness of Ross,Co.Oh. Patrick died 1806,Monongalia,Co.WV. Edward sold his part of the land & went to Ross,Co.Oh/with William & also became a Preacher. John stayed in Mongl.Co. Have never found what Barney did with his part of the land.

<<Brian, before you stop your look-ups....Would you check to see if you have: ALLEY - William, Otho b. 1888, John Henry, Joseph b. 1828 Cephas m. 1885, or Cyrus? BROOKS - Joshua b. 1861 or Martin b. 1889 DAVIS - William b. 1775 m. Martha MAYO, Zachariah b. 1822 m. Lucy Ann DESPER, or George b.1863 m. Martha CHANDLER>> No Alleys in Vol. 1,2,4, or 5. No Martin or Joshua Brooks. A William Davis assigned land on Simson's Creek (Harrison Co.) to Jonathan Stout, pursuant to settlement made in 1772 (may be too early to be yours). A William Davis was a private in Capt. Samuel Wilson's Militia Company in 1812. No Zachariah Davis. George Davis, he with the nondescript name: "McClure and Comley's steam threshing machine broke down the bridge over Robinsons Run near Tapp's Mill while crossing; the machinery was badly damaged and George Davis severely injured (Weekly Post, 24 July 1886)."

<<George's children born after 1902, so information about Scott would have to be in one of last volumes I suspect,>> "Scott H. Davis was elected principal of Morgantown High School, succeeding Walter Riddle (Morgantown Post 13 June 1940)." "Scott H. Davis, principal of Morgantown High School for twenty-seven years, died November 7 following a heart attack suffered two weeks earlier. He was born in Morgantown August 15, 1906, the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Davis. He graduated from Fairmont College and West Virginia University and began his teaching career at Tunnelton High School. He served as principal of Wadestown High School from 1931 to 1939. He came to Morgantown in 1939 as assistant to Arthur V. G. Upton, principal of Morgantown High School, and succeeded him as principal when he resigned the next year to go to Clarksburg. He was regarded as one of the outstanding school administrators of the state. He was survived by his wife Betty, and one son, Dr. Scott H. Davis, Jr. (Morgantown Post 07 November 1967)." My grandfather was probably a friend of Scott's, since he was a member of the school board. My father may have had a different opinion, since he was a student during Davis' tenure... Brian Brian D.
