I did not see this set of books on their list, although hey are on microfilm somewhere, I am sure. I found the first 4 volumes in ooks at the Library in Appalachian State University.

Here is he first paragraph: "Samuel Wilt was married to Lydia Miller on 28 May 1846. The bondsman or the marriage was George Miller. According to Waverly Barb, Barb amily historian, Lydia Miller was the daughter of Jacob and atherine. Jacob Miller married Catherine Sager on 22 Oct 1803. This amily was listed as Wiett in the 1870 census. Samuel was listed as an ron ore miner." I came across Samuel and his family in the 1850 Census a while ago, here his surname is listed as "Will." This caused me some excitement ntil I realized it was a typo. Regards, Larry Will n Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 8:53 AM, <LadyMist1@aol.com> wrote: Hello Lw, Thank you so much for the information.

Hi Gloria, Your "best educated guess" sounds real good to me, and I am extremely happy to have another road to check out. I like this lead because of George Miller being a neighbor.

Lisa, Here is my best educated guess on the ancestry of Samuel Wilt. I believe he might be a son of a very older Peter Wilt living in Rockingham County, Virginia in the 1840 census with a younger second wife. Samuel might have at least three half siblings named John, Lucy and Jacob. He had at least one full sister named Catherine. You'll have to find the marriage for him probably in Rockingham County. There is a Chancery Record that might or might not have some information in it. See Rockingham County Record 1894-110: George Miller VS Adm. of John Fawley. Names involved are Fawley, Johnson, Knisey, Miller, Sager, Tussing, Whetstore, and Wilt. There is a Will involved but this might or might not have any bearing. Can't read on-line. Sure wish they would get on the stick in Richmond and scan more of these records! ------------------------- 1840 Federal Census: Virginia Rockingham County {North Mountain} Page 105 PETER WILT 1 male 10 and under 15 years of age (Samuel Wilt) 1 male 70 and under 80 years of age (Peter Wilt) 1 female 50 and under 60 years of age (His second wife) Neighbors were Samuel and George Miller Peter Wilt died after the 1840 census. ---------------------------- In 1846 Samuel Wilt married Lydia Miller and they are found living in Millertown, Shenandoah County, Virginia 1850 Federal Census: Virginia 58th District, Shenandoah County Enumerated 6 July 1850 Page 3B Lines 30-34, HH 38/38 Name misspelled Will Samuel Wilt 23/Male/White/VA Lydia Wilt 27/Female/White/VA Isabelle Wilt 6/Female/White/VA Sarah Wilt 3/Female/White/VA Catherine Wilt 1/Female/White/VA ----------------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Virginia Liberty Furnace, Shenandoah County Enumerated 11 September 1860 Page 191/623 Lines 26-33, HH 1291/1289 Samuel Wilt 30/Male/$125-$30/CannotReadOrWrite/VA Lydia Wilt 30/Female/CannotReadOrWrite/VA Sarah Wilt 10/Female/VA Catherine Wilt 8/Female/VA John Wilt 6/Male/VA Caroline Wilt 4/Female/VA Amanda Wilt 3/Female/VA Harvey Wilt 1/Male/VA ------------------------------ 1870 Federal Census: Virginia Madison District, PO Edinburg, Shenandoah County Enumerated 8 July 1870 Page 758A Lines 1-10, HH 303/302 Name misspelled Wielt Samuel Wilt 48/Male/White/IreOreMiner/$200-$50/VA Lydia Wilt 48/Female/White/HouseKeeper/VA Sarah Wilt 22/Female/White/DoesHousework/VA John Wilt 19/Male/White/Laborer/VA Caroline Wilt 17/Female/White/DoesHousework/VA Amanda Wilt 15/Female/White/DoesHousework/VA Harvey Wilt 12/Male/White/VA Philip Wilt 9/Male/White/VA Virginia Wilt 6/Female/White/VA Nellie Wilt 3/Female/White/VA --------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
I wonder if the name could have been Wiltz originally? PA Dutch was really German and they would most likely have been Lutherans. Cathy
The Wilts lived in Millertown, Stony Creek area right? Samuel had a daughter named Sarah who married Daniel Johnson. The marriage didn't last long and she left him and later married under an assumed name Annie Wilt to James Jackson even though at that point she wasn't divorced. The divorce from Daniel is in the Chancery Records. Gloria
