Kathryn, Thanks so much for the message. I added this to my favorites list. I am in the Army and unfortunately getting ready to move to a new duty station so I do not get to check my E-Mail much anymore. Hopefully will be better when we get situated at our new posting.

In a message dated 98-06-07 15:03:42 EDT, you write: << Dear Wanda, Me again. Maybe I misread your letter, but the church at Meadowville was not the first church in Randolph or area.

My research is very "raw" and has a lot of room for improvement and modification! Thanks for helping!! Wanda

Dear Wanda, Me again. Maybe I misread your letter, but the church at Meadowville was not the first church in Randolph or area. The Reagers started one at what is now Volga in Barbour Co when they arrived, even before the Talbotts came. The Reagers and the Crites were the first in the area. There were also early Presbyterian churches in The Tygarts Valley area. Jean

I would like to know what happened to my grandfather's brothers and sisters and the brothers and sisters of my grandfather's parents: My name is Wanda Wamsley Balducci. My father is John Curtis Reginald Wamsley, the son of Jasper Newton (Jack) Wamsley. Jasper Newton (Jack) Wamsley, born April 27, 1873 in Indiana; died March 02, 1962 in Petersburg, Virginia; buried in Blandford Cemetery, Petersburg, Virginia.. He was the son of George Fisher Wamsley and S. Margaret Talbott. Jasper Newton Wamsley was born in Indiana. He came to West Virginia (where his father was from) with his family in 1878, at the age of 5, and located at Huttonsville, West Virginia. During his lifetime, he was also known as John and Jack. He lived in Randolph County, West Virginia while growing up. (Randolph County, West Virginia, is the largest county east of the Mississippi River. More that one quarter of the county lies within the Monongahela National Forest. Elkins is the county seat.) Jasper worked with his brothers as a coal miner while a young man. He worked for four years as a brakeman for the WVA and C&P Railroad and two years on the B&O Railroad; some of this time he worked with his brothers. In 1893, he married Anna Hovatter. In 1898, Jasper opened a bicycle shop and agency for the Singer Manufacturing Company in Elkins, West Virginia. Sometime afterward, he relocated his family to the area of Stuebenville, Ohio (Friendly, Ohio). He left his family and came to Virginia from Steubenville, Ohio. His car broke down in front of the Motley Farm in Moneta, Virginia, home of James Daniel Motley. Jasper Wamsley married Julia Frances Motley, daughter of James Daniel Motley, and they lived in Roanoke and South Boston, Virginia. He operated a restaurant business in Roanoke, VA. While living in South Boston, VA, he was a carpenter foreman and contractor; he built the water works for the town and built a church. He also worked as a carpenter in Keysville, VA. Jasper and Julia had three children before their marriage ended. He then married Mary Edna Motley, Julia's younger sister and moved to Petersburg at the beginning of WWI. He worked as a carpenter foreman and helped to construct Camp Lee. After WWI, he operated a "jitney business" (taxicab company) in Petersburg. He was later the owner of Richmond- Petersburg- Fredericksburg Transfer Company, a hauling and moving business. He died at his home on 249 Bollingbrook Street, Petersburg, Virginia after being ill for a short time. Funeral services were by J. T. Morris Funeral Home, Petersburg, Virginia.

To search the archives, go to web page: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl and type in WAMSLEY (case doesn't matter) as the "name of list" When you get the next screen ...Search the Archive of Messages for WAMSLEY Mailing List ...Examples of searches: ...Keithley ...Lycurgus and Bell ...(Mary and Jones) or (Jackson and County) put the word DIGEST (caps don't matter) in the Query box to see ALL the messages and click search. See below for how the examples above work. Now, I'm not sure why the order is the way it is, but if you look at the Filename of each message you will see see that each has a number. Near as I can tell, the filename is the name of the digest. So, you find filename number 1, then click on [Full] and you will see the digest. If you want it, you can copy/paste it to your word processor, email, or whatever. You can read them in any order, or find 1 and read it, then 2, then 3 etc. As for the samples on searching for a particular combination - If I want to find Samuel Wamsley and Catherine Groendyke in the same message, my query would be: (Samuel Wamsley) and (Catherine Groendyke) Notice the placement of the parentheses. The items in parens keep the words together versus finding Samuel and Catherine would just find messages with both the word Samuel and the word Catherine, but not neccessarily connected. Or, if you are looking for Jesse Wamsley in Randolph county, you could put (Jesse Wamsley) and Randolph or Jesse and Randolph (note no parens this time as you just want to find Jesse and Randolph in the same message.

Johnson-Baguley) Dear Wanda, Do you get very much info from "Wamsleys" in CANADA? I would sure like to make connection to anyone related to Wamsley from around Bruce County and Huron County in Eastern Ontario,Canada. There is a William Wamsley at Port Dover - but so far I have found no connection. Also I have included info that I have collected so far: There are seventeen differant ways to spell the surname "Walmsley". 1. Walmersleye 9. Walmesleye 2. Walmersley 10. Walmesley 3. Walmerslye 11. Walmeslye 4. Walmersly 12. Walmesly 5. Walmisleye 13. Walmsleye 6. Walmisley 14. Walmslye 7. Walmislye 15. Walmsly 8. Walmisly 16. Walmsley 17. Wamsley The name of WALMSLEY\WAMSLEY was derived from the "residence" of its first bearers, at a township of the name of WALMERSLEY, in Lancashire, England. (WALMERSLEY is still shown on the map of the greater Manchester and surrounding areas. It is not part of Manchester.) Families of this name were residents at early dates in the English counties of Lancaster, Chester, Oxford, York, Buckingham and London. The ancient Lancashire family of Walmesley\Walmsley\Wamsley was represented in the latter fifteenth (1400's) or early sixteenth (1500-1550's) century by Thomas Walmesley and Elizabeth Travers.

I will also forward our Canadian "WAMSLEY" family tree. (Our spelling was changed to "Wamsley from Walmsley" at port of entery.) The name change came about mainly through immagration officials who registered it according to how it sounded. Further information is as follows: 1. Walmesley; Dunkenhalgh, County Lancaster; descended from Sir Thomas Walmesley, Knt., Judge of the Common Pleas, James I. eldest son of Thomas Walmesley. The eventual heiress, Catherine, sister of Francis Walmesley, Esq., of Dunkenhalgh, married first to Robert, Lord Petre; and secondly to Charles, Lord Stourton. (Henry VIII) 2. Walmesley; Sholley, County Lancaster; descended from Richard Walmesley, Esq., of Sholley, or Sholay, second son of Thomas Walmesley, who was the son of Thomas Walmesley. (Henry VII) 3. Walmesley; Westwood House, County Lancaster; a branch of Walmesley, of Sholley; descended from John Walmesley, second son of Richard Walmesley, Esq., of Sholley. Also related to the Gerard family. 4.

Also related to the Grimshaw family of New House, County Lancaster; Ferrers family of Bashall, County York; and Talbot family of Bashall, County York.

Source: cfdah@ux1.cts.eiu.edu (Doris A Hamilton) The Harper families have had men of prominence in their numbers, as the New York publishers and the first president of the University of Chicago. Probably there are dirverse origins, even back of the immigrants, to be considered in this case. The present family is said to be of German origin. (1) Moses Harper, the first member of this family about whom we have definite informaon, married Phoebe Conrad. Child, Jacob Conrad, of whom further. (II) Jacob Conrad, son of Moses and Phoebe (Conrad) Harper, was born at Mouth of Seneca, Pendleton county, now West Virginia, in 1834, died in October, 1910. In 1861 he moved into Randolph county, now West Virginia. He was a prominent farmer and stockman.

Phares) Wanda: For anyone who do not have access to Genserv I am willing to do a limited number of searches of full names only, no surnames (John Smith not Smith). The reason for this is that results of a surname search can run into hundreds of pages. Genserv has more than 12 million records in their database and it usually takes less than a minute to get the results back by e-mail which can then be forwarded to the one who requested it. If you then find a record in which you desire more data, a followup message will give additional information such as ancestors or descendants and name and address of submitter.

She is Madasonia Wamsley, who married Spencer W. STURM; the article says that Madasonia is a daughter of David B. and Mary (Bartlett) Wamsley, granddaughter of David and Sarah (Delay) Wamsley. Madasonia and her sister Celia married brothers. The article, by Jack Sandy Anderson, is about Jesse Sturm (1809-1885) and his life in Harrison Co., WV, as "a carpenter, cooper, millwright, miller, stonemason, inventor, builder of bridges and flatboats, and an unpaid preacher of the Gospel." About Celia and Madasonia Wamsley, the article says: ". . . [Spencer Sturm's] first wife, Madasonia Wamsley, was a sister of his brother Felix's first wife; they were daughters of David B. and Mary (Bartlett) Wamsley, of Big Elm Farm, and were considered heiresses of their day, for they and their siblings shared in their father's large estate." If anyone would like a copy of the whole article, let me know and I'll be glad to send it via snail mail. Here are some family reports that add the information gleaned from this article to what I already knew about the STURM and WAMSLEY families.

Dear Wamsley cousins, Wanda has been doing a tremendous job of getting the Wamsleyweb to a growing list of Wamsley researchers. Since I maintain a surname list myself, I know that it can grow very fast and that eventually become too big to manage on a personal computer. Wanda and I have had an exchange of emails, the result of which is that I have started the background stuff to have a Wamsley list hosted by the RootsWeb listserv. If you want to find out what RootsWeb is all about, see http://www.rootsweb.com and to see what surname lists they have, check out the web site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/surnames/index.html Click on the "Back to the Mailing Lists home page" (under alphabet) to see what other kinds of lists are hosted. Back to why I'm writing this message. I've done all the background work to get the list started on Rootsweb, and have posted all the previously issued Wamsleyweb issues into the archives. I've also subscribed you all to the list. When you post a query, you send it to: Wamsley-L@rootsweb.com You don't need to put Wamsley in the subject line because it will show up automatically in brackets as you see in the subject line of this message. Right now, Wanda plans to continue to put out Wamsleyweb, so if you want to send the message to both places, that's ok, but it may be that she will do the copy/paste that she now does, from the listserv messages. You may be asking, why bother with the listserv? There are several reasons. The first advantage is that you will be able to see the messages right away versus waiting for a bunch to come together as a newsletter. This is called mail mode and is the default. However, if you like having them all grouped together, it's easy to change your "subscription" to digest mode which will be be similar to what you've been getting, but will have an "index" of all the message subject lines at the top. Or you can wait til Wanda sends it out. Next advantage is that all the messages are archived and are searchable on the web. You want to search for any messages that have been posted before you subscribed (like the previous Wamsleyweb issues)? Searches can be done, quite easily. And the Rootsweb people are making it even easier and will have something called "threaded" archives available in a month or so, so either way can be used. Having the list hosted by Rootsweb will automatically make it easier to bring other Wamsley researchers "out of the woodwork" too, as there are some automatic announcements made on several lists about new surname lists. With the way Wanda has been doing it, it's a word of mouth way that probably will not reach nearly as many people. Disadvantages? None that I know of. Rootsweb has some built in filters so that web-crawling "robots" can't get to the archives to harvest email addresses for junk mail (called spam). That seems to be the only concern that most people have about having an archive available. When I originally suggested this to Wanda, we had a lot of dialog about it. Though she plans to continue Wamsleyweb for now, I know from experience that the work load on her will only increase, and that's why I proposed this alternative. Better now than later so that the archives are "complete". If anybody has any questions that I haven't answered, please feel free to ask. If you absolutely do not want to be subscribed to the new listserv (that's what this type thing is called), then let me know. I'm not trying to take away "leadership" from Wanda, and as she said to me "Leadership or being in charge of this is not important to me". However, we should all be thankful to her for taking the inititive 20+ issues ago for getting the thing started, and I for one will still think of her as the leader. Remember, send to the Wamsley-L@rootsweb.com address, and if you wish to cc to Wanda, that's ok, but she *is* on the list so will get the message in any case; she'll just get two copies if you cc her.

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER, MEMORIAL DAY EDITION ################# Just searching around quickly, these are the Wamsleys that I found who served in the American Revolution: John Wamsley, Jr., born February 10, 1762 in Augusta County, Virginia; died March 15, 1815 in Franklin Township, Coshocton, Ohio. He was the son of 2. John Wamsley, Sr. and 3. Judith Dorcus. He married (2) Mary "Polly" Robinson June 27, 1784 in Harrison County, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War). He married (3) Mary Robinson July 27, 17841. She was the daughter of William B. Robinson and Mary Margaret See. John was a Revolutionary War Soldier. John's date of death may have been March 1, 1815. He is buried at Robinson family Cemetery, Conesville, Coshocton County, Ohio. Thomas Wamsley, born 1752 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland1; died December 28, 1806 in Montgomery, Kentucky. He was the son of 2. John Wamsley, Sr. and 3. Judith Dorcus. He married (1) Margaret "Comfort" Ingram May 29, 1776 in Augusta County, Virginia. Thomas served as a substitute during the Revolutionary War. (Montgomery County, Kentucky was formed from Clark County in 1797.) David Wamsley, born November 19, 1755 in Anne Arundel, Maryland (or Augusta County)1; died March 08, 1849 in Harrison, Virginia. He was the son of 2. John Wamsley, Sr. and 3. Judith Dorcus. He married (1) Sarah (or Sallie) Delay 1780. She was the daughter of Henry Delay. WEST VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION (page 286) says David Wamsley was born in Augusta County, Virginia. Date of birth was given as 1775, but this could hardly be correct; he served in the Revolutionary War (file S18669, National Archives). David Wamsley moved to Harrison County in 1783. He acquired 400 acres of land in Harrison County on January 25, 1787. Description of land: on the west side of the west fork adjoining land of Samuel McIntire including his settlement made therein in the year 1773. (source: Library of Virginia, Grants 8, page 336) He acquired 400 acres of land in Harrison County on January 17, 1798. This land was on the west side of the West Fork and adjoining lands of William Robison. (source: Library of Virginia Grants 42, page 130) David Wamsley of Lewis County, Virginia, was an Indian Spy for the Virginia Militia; pension was started October 26, 1833. He served in the Regular Infantry, Warrick, Virginia. $80.00 was the annual pension allowance. David Wamsley's death is also recorded as March 3, 1849 in Harrison, Virginia. (source: "JOHN WAMSLEY, A RECORD OF HIS DESCENDANTS" by Maud Bliss Allen.) James Wamsley, born March 06, 1762 in Augusta County, Virginia1; died February 28, 1842 in Lewis, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War). He was the son of 2. John Wamsley, Sr. and 3. Judith Dorcus. He married (1) Barbara Bland 1783 in Lewis County, Virginia (West Virginia)2. He married (2) Mary Reger November 11, 1830 in Lewis County, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War). He married (3) Effie Perry February 12, 1838 in Lewis County, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War). James' birth date may have been 1765. James served in the Revolutionary War. According to a record in the DAR Library, James substituted for Thomas Bland of Augusta County, ,Virginia (later Pendleton County) in the Revolutionary War. He was present on the muster roll in Captain Peter Hull's Company, Second Battilion, Augusta Militia, 1779. James Wamsley and son Samuel were on the 1802 Randolph County tax collector's list. James acquired 42 acres of land in Randolph County, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War) on March 1, 1810. This land was on the west side of Valley River adjoining the west side of his own land. In 1817 he was living in Randolph/ Harrison County and in 1820 he was living in Lewis County. James Wamsley, of Lewis County, Virginia was also an Indian Spy for the Virginia Militia. On July 19, 1833, at the age of 69, his pension was started - $80.00 annual allowance, $240.00 received. Source: Pension application S6323, National Archive He is buried in the Brick Church Cemetery, Huttonsville, Randolph County, West Virginia. The gravestone marker placed in recent years gives James' date of birth as 1762. This stone in the Old Brick Church cemetary is a comemoriative one erected by his descendant Norman Wamsley. Can anyone add anything? **************************************************************************** ** ************ I put the information that I have about the Wamsleys who were in the Civil War in a previous newsletter, so I won't put it in this one. If anyone wants it again, let me know. Are any of you members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans or the Daughters of Confederate Veterans? ---Wanda **************************************************************************** ** *************** From: abow626@ncn.net (Adele Bowden) To: Wamsleyweb@aol.com (Wamsleyweb) Wanda, Thanks you for the very interesting back copies of your newsletter. Here is some information about my Wamsley ancestor and about a military service file I have for William Walmsley, a Revolutionary War veteran. Along with another of your subscribers,Hoyt Harmon, and other researchers I am seeking to find the parents of Jane Wamsley, born 1785, supposedly in NY. Although one son's family has her surname as Kaiser, the legend in several other families is that she was Jane Wamsley (or Walmsley) the daughter of William Wamsley. Family stories state he was in the Revolutionary War and served with George Washington and Jane told her grandchildren that as a girl she shook hands with George Washington. Know there were several William Wamsley's in the Revolutionary War but haven't been able to connect Jane with any of them. Any help solving our "Jane mystery" would be appreciated! We know she married John Neeley in 1805 Seneca Co NY, married James Lambert 1822 in Hamilton Co OH., lived in Dearborn and Switzerland counties in IN, then moved to Cedar and Muscatine counties in Iowa where she died 15 February 1864. In the process of seeking Jane's parents I ordered a military & pension file for William Morgan of Stamford CT. It did not list any of his family members although he stated in his pension application that he needed the pension because he had a family to support. Here is some info from that file: William Wamsley, Stamford, Fairfield Co CT Pension Claim, S. 36368 Born November 1759 Enlisted in 1775, place of residence not stated and served until June 1783 as a private, corporal and ensign (having been commissioned ensign of the 3rd Connecticut Regiment June 29, 1779 in Captains Ezekiel Scott and John Barnard's companies in Colonels Samuel Wylly, Durkee, and Zebulon Butler's Connecticut Regiments. He was allowed pension on his application executed 2 April 1818 at which time he was a resident of Stamford, Fairfield County, CT. Eighteen pages of Company Muster Roll forms show him at Camp Highland of York, Connecticut Village, White Plains, Reading, Norwalk, New Milford, Fredericksburgh, Fort Montgomery, Robinson Farm, Horsneck and taken prisoner on L. Island 25 of December 1778. In this record his name is spelled: Walmsley, Wamsley, Walmesley, Walmisley, Warmsley, Womsley, Wormsley, and Womlley! An interesting inclusion in this file is a letter written 1 March 1929 by Sidney K. Backus (a partner in the law firm of Backus and Backus, attorneys in Rochester NY, according to the letterhead). He stated he was in possession of the pension certificate of William Walmsley and requested the record of this veteran. Several years ago I copied from a DAR record (I think!) this item: Walmsey, Wm., b. c1760, d. c1830 m. Prudence Weed Ensign CT This would seem to be the William Walmsey in the above military record but I have no proof that they are one and the same. This William Walmsey would also be the right age to possibly be the father of Jane Wamsley. Any help with this family would be appreciated! Thanks.

As I was browsing the "special collections" file at the MD Archives website, I found a record that shows that there were some WALMSLEYS in Maryland more than 50 years earlier than that. The record, which can be found in Dr. Carson Gibb's supplemental list of early settlers, is for a "Martha Walmsley. . . Late Marchant, wife of Thomas Walmsley by 1669, when she had completed her service." I can't tell what part of MD these Walmsleys lived in, but that might be determined by looking at the microfilm of the record (citations given).

Thanks again, Sharon Smith **************************************************************************** ** ******** Andy, Yes -- send your list of surnames and the rest of us will check our notes and see if we have any connections. No contribution is too little, too big, etc. We try to share information and hopefully correct each others mistakes and add to each others information at the same time. As for me, my ancestor's surnames are: Simmons, Dice, Crouch, Bland, Dorcus, Travers, Talbott, Stephens, Cottrill, Harper, Watson, Smith. ---Wanda **************************************************************************** ** *********** Subj: Re: WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #25 From: obscntb1@dtx.net (Paul Thompson) Wanda, Andy Markle had a pretty good idea when he mentioned sending a list of names we as a Family might have in common. I have seen a few surnames that might suggest other connections. Some of mine are as follows: Thompson, Smith, Mathews, Allen, Delay, Huber, Harter, Bebout, Parke, Butler, Croft, Franklin, Glover, Beshears, Reynolds, Chambliss, Sullivant Perhaps this may stimulate even more conversation. Paul Thompson **************************************************************************** ** ************** Subj: WAMSLEY-ELLEDGE From: abc@hiwaay.net (Jackson Cty Historical Association) Wanda: Just read your wonderful info on Elizabeth Wamsley who married James Elledge and her Wamsley lineage. Your material answers many questions for me. Now I am wondering if you have anything more on James Elledge's parents and/or children. James Elledge is the brother of my Whitefield Elledge. Their other two brothers were Joseph and Elijah Elledge, all sons of Isaac and Jenny (Linn) Elledge. Please let me know if you or your fellow researchers can share on the Elledge side of the family. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Ann B. Chambless abc@HiWAAY.net **************************************************************************** ** ************ Subj: Re: WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #27 From: peggysue411@juno.com (Peggy S Wilson) Wanda -- since I don't know who to ask about the Stout History, I'm asking you a few more Questions. I hope that's okay? Or would you prefer to have me contact the person who provided this information? 1) RE: JOSEPH DAVIS CORNWELL, JR. I have CORNWELLs in both Morgan County, KY 1850 and also in the Illinois area (from Land Records for IL -- I have a list of CORNWELL who are on the LAND Sales records) -- William Cornwell b. ca 1788 and Rachel Cornwell b. ca 1783 were in the Morgan Co., KY 1850 census living next door to my William and Sarah Wells. I believe they had a son named James (nothing further) and a daughter named Janette CORNWELL b. ca 1807 who married who married William Andrew NICKELL ca 1827 in Monroe Co., VA. She died in 1844 in La Porte, IN. I'd love to see if these are related CORNWELLS and more importantly, what relationship, if any, they may have to my WILLIAM WELLS or possibly his wife Sarah Prater Wells?? 2) LAMONT -- This is a total longshot. My grandmother's name was MARIE ANNA LAMONT -- she was born about 1900 supposedly in Belgium. We know she married ca 1918 to James NEIL in New York, New York, divorcing him a year later in DENVER, COLORADO and marrying my grandfather William C. GARVER the next year -- probably married in TX or OK, but they lived in AMARILLO, TX. Well... that's all for now, and thanks for any help you can provide.

I JUST the day before I contacted you, found the ELLEDGE WAMSLEY connection. James and Elizabeth (Wamsley) Elledge's daughter Fanny Jane married ELIJAH WELLS. The WELLS are my direct line. The Morgan/Floyd County area of Kentucky was not that large, and almost everyone is related to everyone else somehow. THEN many of these families migrated on to the Coles/Edgar/Douglas County area of Illinois, including my WILLIAM WELLS b. ca 1806 in VA who married in 1827 in Floyd Co., KY to Sarah PRATER b. ca 1810 in Floyd Co., KY. William died in 1887 near Tuscola, Douglas Co., IL. His son David lived in Humboldt, Coles Co., IL in 1870 before he migrated to Bosque Co., TX.] [From WAMSLEY newsletter #26 - MAY WAMSLEY, b. May 28, 1876, Humboldt, Coles, Illinois; d. May 26, 1958, Denver, Colorado; m.] It appears we may connect to the INGRAM family mentioned also in connection to the WAMSLEY family. William and Sarah WELLS' daughter Lucinda b. ca 1828 married 1) Daniel B. GILMORE and 2) ISAAC INGRAM. The "given" name of DORCUS is used repeatedly in the PRATER family -- which makes me wonder about the surname DORCUS I see in the Wamsley. I didn't mention SMITH - which plays a big role in the PRATER family too. I have a NANCY WAMSLEY b. ca 1849 who married Thomas W. COLLINSWORTH (Thomas is son of Samuel and Nancy Jane Prater Collinsworth) -- I haven't a clue on Nancy WAMSLEY's family?? Anyway, that's my story... Peggy Sue pwilson411@aol.com HomePage: http://members.aol.com/PWilson411/indexe.html **************************************************************************** ** **************** Subj: Joseph Wamsley, Sr. Date: 98-05-05 12:53:09 EDT From: MAWamsley To: Wamsleyweb I am really interested in Jean Loudin's research and good questions about facts relating to Joseph Wamsley, Sr. (W~Web #27), because he is in my husband's direct line. The cemetery Jean referred to is the one that I catalogued in W~Web # 13. Jesse and family are buried there, but there is no stone for Joseph. It is clear, though, that the plot was originally bigger than the area covered by the existing stones, so I assume that there are a number of currently unmarked graves. The most interesting thing Jean mentioned, though, was about the family saying that when she did not find Joseph's grave, she "had not gone far enough into the woods". I am sure that when I first heard about this mountaintop graveyard, the person who told me about it said that there was another grave "in the woods" and that he had seen it. I will try to find out more about this and see if we can locate that grave to determine whether it might be Joseph. I realize, as Jean reminded us in an earlier item, that we have no conclusive proof of the connection between our Randolph County Wamsleys and the ones in Ann Arundel Co., MD. In fact, I have a note from a now deceased family member who had done some research which says, " "...my guess is that Joseph came from the Shenandoah Valley by way of Monterey or thereabout." I don't know what he based this on, but he must have had some clue that led him to that conclusion. We need to keep an open mind on this! Mary Ann **************************************************************************** ** ************* The following information is from Tom Wamsley, not a subscriber to the newsletter, but a West Virginia Wamsley descendant: Wanda, Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Andrew Marcellus Wamsley is also my gg-grandfather. My line is Andrew M. >> Jacob Webster >> Thomas Andrew >> Thomas Andrew jr >> me. In the attached article, you will see who all are buried at the cementary on the family farm. There is also another cementary about 1 1/2 miles south of the farm officially named the Wamsley cementary. This is probably the cementary that you mentioned with Tom Bell. I am embarrassed to say that I have never been to it. The Brick Church Cementary that you mentioned is about 6-7 miles south of the farm, located beside the state medium-security prison at Huttonsville. The name of the river in this valley is the Tygart Valley River, named after one of the first families in the valley, later killed by indians. Hope all of the attachment makes it to you regarding the family bible of A.M. & M. H. Wamsley, as well as the bible of Jacob W. Wamsley. Let me know as if it does not work, I will retype it.

Joseph Wamsley was born between 1765-1770. He was underage when his father died and he and his brother Matthew chose their brother William as their guardian in March, 1786. Since his parents were dead, Joseph did a lot of wandering from one family member to another. In: 1785 he was in Harrison Co. 1787 listed in Rockingham Co. 1788 in Randolph Co. 1790 Pendleton Co. 1794 in Militia in Pendleton Co. He bought 31 acres East side of Dry Run from the former lands of John and Barbara Morris. 1795 First child Jesse born. Sold above land to Isaac Hinkle 1796 Bought land on Riffle's Run in Randolph Co. Whether their is any significance in where he purchased the land in Pendleton Co. is unknown as he grew up on the west side of Dry Run. CHILDREN: Jesse B 11 March, 1795. I am sure he is a son of Joseph, Sr. as aged family members sent me to his family cemetary in Randolph Co. at the head of Becky's Creek on the mountain top to find the grave of Joseph,Sr. as they felt that is where he had been buried. When I did not find it, they told me I had not gone far enough in the woods. Jesse was the purchaser of that farm, but it is possible that Joseph Sr. is buried there, at least the family members in that area thought so. The last proven record of Joseph Sr. is 1842. Joseph, Jr. born 1798-1800 Female born 1794-1800 Female born 1794-1800 Elizabeth born 1802-3 Second wife: Daniel born 1809 possibly 1811 Margaret born 1810 Eve born 17 Aug 1811 Sarah born 1815 (Possibly earlier) Wives of Joseph Wamsley: Proven by deed, the first wife was Eve and the second Patsy (Jameson), There is no proof of their maiden names. It has been fairly well proven that Eve was NOT a Skidmore. Suggestions at the present are she was a Stalnaker, Mace, or Morris. There is a possibility that she committed suicide. Patsy, by tradition was supposed to have been a widow and some have said she was a Channell. Another tradition is that she was part indian. If anyone has proof of the names of the two daughters that have not yet been named with certainty, please let us know. There is some question whether the wife of Jesse Wamsley, son of Joseph was a daughter of Henry Mace since he did not mention her in his will. I have found no proof of her parents.

WILLIAM6 WAMSLEY (LEAH STOUT 5 TAYLOR, FREEGIFT 4 STOUT, DAVID 3, RICHARD 2, JOHN 1) was born January 23, 1776 (Source: Adams County, Ohio: History, Cemetaries, Marriages by Robert D. Craig, 1963.), and died September 26, 1845 in Adams County, Ohio. He married SARAH WIKOFF 1798 in Adams County, Ohio. Notes William was listed in the 1778-1780 census in Pequannock, Morris, New Jersey. William Wamsley was the youngest son of Isaac Wamsley and the grandfather of the extensive family of that name scattered over the State of Ohio. He settled upon the fertile banks of Scioto Brush Creek, right at the Mouth of Scioto Turkey Creek, and purchased all the bottom land upon both sides of this creek from its mouth five miles up the stream, being careful to follow, in his line of survey, the base of the mighty hills which enclose this valley upon both sides of this stream. This land was entered for him by William Bayless. All of William's sons were devoutly religious. They helped build and were members of the M.E. Church, which was called "Wamsley Chapel." Every one of them were uncompromising Democrats of the "Old Hickory" stripe. William Wamsley and his sons built the M.E. Church which was called "Wamsley Chapel." This church was the third meeting house erected within the boundaries of Adams county.

I pulled out my copies of the pedigree charts with Martha Ann Wamsley & Mary Wamsley. Unfortunately, there is no other personal information about them on the pages I have. I am going to my local library tomorrow to make sure I didn't overlook any info on the preceding pages in the book ("Ancestor Charts of the Members of the Ohio Genealogical Society"). Will let you know if I find anything else & will send you a copies of what I have. I did bring a report of my Wamsley info with me & edited it while I was at my parents' house. I started entering my corrections & additions from the latest WamsleyWebs in my program today. Hopefully, I'll have it ready soon to send you.

Shirley ************************* From: MAWamsley I just discovered that the Library of Virginia has now scanned their collection of land patents and grants and is making these original documents available through their web site. You can search a "card catalog" and then click to retrieve the document. The reproduction is not perfect, but I was able to read most of the ones I looked at. And I was able to print out a good quality copy of a page on my inkjet printer. There are quite a few Wamsley land patents on file -- I got one for Joseph, and there are also cards for Jacob, Samuel, Jesse, Matthew, James, John, and others. The process is slow, at least on my AOL browser, but it's pretty exciting to see those original documents online!

This one mentions a Captain Wamsley -- I wonder which Wamsley this is?? No date is given for this claim, but I wonder if this could be our "infamous" Jonathan Wamsley again, filing false pension applications. Captain Wamsley's involvement here is that he was apparently promised half of the first payment, which I understand was the customary payment to a lawyer for filing the applications. Note that Radcliff's statement is said to be untrue, and a suit has been brought. It will be interesting to see this full document. Nancy Jackson, who offered this summary, said in her message that a copy of this 4-page document from the National Archives will be given in the next couple weeks to the HCPD librarian for filing with other pension records. By the way, I wonder if the Adam "Harpol" mentioned here is really Adam HARPER, an ancestor of Wanda and others in this group?? Mary Ann Revol. Pension Claim 12655: Weedon Hoffman, a store keeper in Weston, testified that William Radcliff told him that he had only served six months in the Revol. War. William Radcliff stated at age 16 or 17, he was a substitute for Adam Harpol and that he marched from Hardy Co., Virginia (now WV) to Winchester under Capt Stephenson and he guarded the British prisoners. He mentions Capt. Berry and Capt. James Lincoln; also a Col. Kennedy and a Col. Holmes plus a Capt. Wamsley. It was stated that Wamsley was to be given half of the first draw (pension?). William signed with a mark. W. Goling states the statement of Radcliff is untrue excpt for the contract with Wamsley and a suit against Radcliff had been instituted. ************************************* From: swamsley@concentric.net (Sandra Wamsley) Kathryn, Am posting this both to you and to the list. My husband's g-grandfather, William B. Wamsley was born Nov. 1808 VA - family tradition says WV. In 1839 he married Catherine Bridgewater of Orange Co. Indiana. He had probably worked for her father, Isaac Bridgewater, perhaps for several years, as Isaac has ag. help listed on his census entries each time before 1850. By 1848 they moved to Page Co. IA and William B. died there 1873. The persistence of the initial "B" also seems to point to your group, but I really don't know. I have been interested in learning more of the Wamsleys of Hamilton Co. since I read an article from "A History of Miami Township and Its Borders" and learned that William, b. 1785, had moved there in 1815. (I could send a copy of this article, if you've not seen it.) It all seems to fit what little we know of our William's times and events before his marriage and places him closer to Orange Co. You have a William B. married to Mary Ingraham, but no date of birth? And there are other connections to Indiana? Not surprising, given the location. Do you have a date of death for Mary? Children? William B. Wamsley and Catherine Bridgewater's children (many names have their counterparts in Bridgewater family...): Rhoda Jane 1841-1860 Lydia Ellen 1845-1919 Mildred V. 1846-? Mary E.? 1847 Nancy Elizabeth 1848-? Jeremiah Carter Wamsley 1849-1901, Donald's grandfather. I do not know what to make of the Carter name appearing here. Elvina L. 1852-? Isaac M. 1855-? Marthena 1858-? Do you think there is any possibility of a connection? Although we're missing some dates of death, I have fairly good information on these families, census, children, marriages and some burials in IA. Let me know what you think - I know there isn't much to go on here... I've been stuck in a rut with William B. for years! :) Thank you for any help or thoughts you can give. 1850 Hamilton Co.

Straight, 74123,1350 RE: Copy of: Wamsley Wanda: In response to the request in WamsleyWeb letter #18: My grandmother's name was Hannah Susan WAMSLEY b. 11 Feb 1899 in Highland County, WV, d. 09 July 1978 in Fairmont, WV. She is buried at the United Methodist Church in Monumental, WV (a small unicorporated area in Marion County) She married Herschel Bryan STRAIGHT on 11 April 1925. They had 3 sons; James Richard, Howard Alton (my father) and William. William is deceased. In response to the question in WamsleyWeb letter #20: I believe I have a g-g-grandfather William M. WAMSLEY (son of Jesse WAMSLEY) but I am not aware that he served in the 20th Virginia Cavalry. Does anyone know for sure? The die-hard WAMSLEY researchers may be aware of the following information, but others may find it interesting. The U.S. Geological Survey (7.5 minute series topographic) map of the Huttonsville, WV area shows several cemeteries, one of which must be the cemetery Mary Ann described in WamsleyWeb #13. All three cemeteries are near Becky Creek (same as Becca Creek?). Two are fairly close to the road that parallels the creek, and one is about 1.5 miles up Dry Run, on a ridge above 3000 feet elevation. Mary Ann listed the markers in one of these cemeteries, but I wonder if the other two are cataloged somewhere. I would like to send Mary Ann a copy of this map and maybe she could identify the cemetery her nephew visited. This map also shows the Old Brick Church Cemetery immediately south of the Huttonsville Correctional Center between routes 219 and 250 and on the Tygart Valley River. This must be the burial location for James WAMSLEY, Revolutionary War veteran and son of John WAMSLEY and Judith DORCUS.

War From: MAWamsley As I was looking up some information on Wamsleys who served in the Rev. War (for one of our new list members, Adele) I found an old list that I got from Wilbur Wamsley several years ago which shows 7 Wamsleys who served in that war. I'm pretty sure that 5 of those belong to our Randolph County, WV, group, but the other two I couldn't identify. Both of them are listed as WERMSLEY, a spelling I don't remember seeing before. One is William Wermsley, from Harrison Co., VA; the other is Philip Wermsley, from Rhode Island. So I decided to do a web search on this spelling variation — and amazingly, the one "hit" I got was an article that explains who Philip is. He was a former slave, also known as Philip Rodman (probably for another owner). This article, from the Providence, R.I., Journal-Bulletin (2/9/97) is a fascinating account of how Philip's descendant joined and later became president of her county DAR chapter on the basis of his service. If you want to read the whole story, go to http://www.projo.com/special/black/209bhs2.htm <A HREF="http://www.projo.com/special/black/209bhs2.htm">Special Report - Black History Month</A> I have lifted the small portions here that relate to the WERMLSEY name. Adele is looking for a William who fought in the Revolution — no mention in this article of a William, but I wonder if the William Wermsley on my list could also be from Rhode Island (a member of the slave-holding family that Philip was named for? or perhaps William was also a former slave?) Does anyone know of any WAMSLEY ancestors (by any spelling) in Rhode Island?? Mary Ann ----------------------------------------------- Excerpted from the Providence, R.I., Journal-Bulletin, 2/9/97: Nancy Goncalves, 60, grew up hearing stories about [her] family. . . One story that she did not hear, however, was about her "grandfather" who fought in the American Revolution. . . Goncalves has copies of her ancestor's pension records: Philip Rodman, alias Philip Wermsley, Providence, R. Island... Col. Christopher Lippitt's regiment, Rhode Island Line, October 1776, to November, 1777. "He was called Wermsley, too," Goncalves says, looking at the pension record. "We're not sure why. Sometimes when they were sold from one master to another, they (the master) would change their name." Rodman was granted his freedom -- that was the deal offered by Gen. George Washington -- after he fought. But he did not get his full pension. "He died a pauper, the poor man," she says. ************************* Till next time, have a great day and keep the e-mail coming!! Wanda

In 1846, after the Saints were driven from their homes in Nauvoo, Mary Ann Collett Wamsley was born in a wagon box at Sugar Creek, Lee County, Iowa. Her parents,Daniel and Esther Collett, came from England in 1841, one year after they were baptized by Wilford Woodruff. From Sugar Creek, the Collett family went to Winter Quarters where Mr. Collett worked as a wheelwright for three years. The Collett family, now seven in number, crossed the plains in 1851 and settled in Lehi. Mrs. Collect was especially skilled in preparing from herbs, roots and barks, medicines used in treating various diseases. She carefully explained to her daughter the mixing processes and how to administer the medicine. When Mary Ann was eleven years of age her mother passed away, but the spark to prepare herself for a life of service to the sick and the suffering had been kindled in the child and she determined to attain her great desire. The Collett family moved to Plain City, Weber County, in 1859, and it was here that Mary Ann met William Wamsley. She continued her interest in the sick and at the age of eighteen was assisting mothers in childbirth. Mary Ann attended medical meetings and took pride in preparing a display at the County Fair of the various medicinal herbs, roots, and powdered barks familiar to her as home remedies. Shortly after Mary Ann Collett and William Wamsley were married, they were called by the Church authorities to pioneer Bloomington, Bear Lake Valley, Idaho. It was fall when they reached the Valley along with other settlers and time was short in which to build a house and prepare for winter. While others worked to build homes, a schoolhouse, and at numerous other projects, Mary Ann was kept busy as a midwife and nurse. After living for a year in the new settlement her first child was born. It was a girl and they named her Esther, for Mary Ann's mother. Now this new mother realized more fully the importance of her life's work and she determined to dedicate her talents to helping others. Her preparation of home remedies became very vital and she took time to label each bottle and to have a supply prepared in advance for emergencies. The Wamsleys lived in Bloomington for seventeen years and during this time eight children were born. The family accepted the fact that they were to share their mother with the people of the community and did everything possible to lighten her duties at home. About the year 1881, they moved to Arizona and subsequently to Ashley Valley in Uintah County, Utah. In both these places, Mrs. Wamsley continued her practice as midwife. While on a visit to a daughter in Price, Utah in the fall of 1929, Mary Ann became ill and passed away November 15th in her eighty-third year. She lived long enough to deliver many of her grandchildren and some of her great-grandchildren. The memory of her cheerful disposition, wisdom, understanding and desire to serve, will long be remembered in the communities in which she resided. —Ivy Carroll Gray **************************************************************************** ** **************** Sharon Smith, This is all I have about your Elizabeth Ann Wamsley: Ancestors of Elizabeth Ann Wamsley Generation No. 1 1.

Wanda **************************************************************************** ** ************ From: kathy_a.williams@berea.edu (Kathy Williams) To: Wamsleyweb@aol.com Monday, 3/30/1998 Wanda -- Here are some "reprints" of Wamsley history I found in histories, etc. Could you please let me know if you get my two web contributions? Thanks. kw #1 From: Adams County, Ohio: History, Cemetaries, Marriages by Robert D. Craig, 1963: "The Wamsley Family. Isaac Wamsley was born in Northern Germany sometime in the 18th century, a seafaring man who appears in American waters about 1770. He settled in Maryland or Delaware, but after the Revolutionary War settled on Ohio Brush Creek, at Forge Dam in Jefferson Township, Adams County, Ohio. His family consisted of his wife and four sons: Isaac, Jr.; Jonathan; Christopher; and William. The last three settled in the boundary of Adams County, however, Isaac Jr., settled further west. William, the youngest son, married Sarah Wikoff in 1798. To them were born eight boys and one girl. Leah, the daughter, died at an early age. Peter, Isaac, William, John, Samuel and Christopher (twins), Leah, Amos and Jesse. William and his sons were very religious men and helped build the M.E. Church called "Wamsley Chapel." [As far as I know, this no longer stands]. William died 26 Sept 1845 in the 70th year. His wife died 27 Apr 1850 in her 79th year and are buried in the Wamsley cemetary [a very peaceful, quiet cemetary located out in the country just outside of the village of Wamsley, Ohio]. Rev. Jesse Wamsley (youngest son of William), was born 11 July 1813 and married Mary McCormack 15 Dec. 1831. To them were born two children: James Pilcher and William Finley. Pilcher was born 30 Mar 1833 and married 23 Oct 1856 to Miss Elizabeth A. Graham. William Wamsley, born in 1804, died 12 Oct 1868. He was married to Elizabeth Bolton in 1825." --Except for my [comments] this is the article ver batim. ------------------------ # 2. Entry found in the family Bible of Iva Mae Wamsley Workman (now deceased - -the daughter of Wm. and Goldie): "William Bland Wamsley departed this life Dec 9, 1959 on Wednesday. At home. Goldie Gertrude [Tomblin] Wamsley departed this life June 14, 1966, Tuesday, 15 till 9 p.m., at the Adams Co. Hospital." ---------------------- #3 Obit for Wm. Bland Wamsley: "Funeral services were Saturday for William B. Wamsley, 76, who died near noon, Wednesday at his home on Peebles [Ohio], Route 3. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Goldie Wamsley; five daughters, Mrs. Bertie Riley of Sinking Springs [a misspelling - Granny's name is actually spelled "Birdie". She still lives in S.S.]; Mrs. May Workman of Peebles [now deceased, full name Ivy May Wamsley. Married to Thomas Workman]; Mrs. Sarah Osborne of Lebanon [married to John Osborne -- he is now deceased]; Mrs. Eva Haron of Vanceburg, Ky. [I have no idea who this woman is -- does anyone else?]; and Mrs. Mary Rudal of Otway [another type-o. Aunt Mary's last name is actually "Rudd" - - she is married to Ollie Rudd] and a sister, Mrs. Maye VanZant of Peebles. The last rites were held at Antioch church with Rev. W.E. Mills officiating. Burial was in Evergreen cemetary [on Steam Furnace Road outside of Peebles, Adams Co., Ohio] under the direction of Trefz Funeral Home [now defunct]." This obit should be taken with a grain of salt, so to speak, as it has several errors. ------------ #4 Obit: "Mrs. Goldie Wamsley. Funeral services were held at Antioch Church at Peebles for Mrs. Goldie Wamsley, 68 of Peebles Rt. 3, who died last Tuesday at Adams County Hospital. Surviving are five daughters, Mrs. Birdie Riley of Sinking Springs, Mrs. Mae Workman and Mrs. Jane Hawn, both of Peebles, Mrs. Sarah Osborn of Lebanon and Mrs. Mary Rudd of Otway, and three brothers Elmer, Chester and McCell Tomblin [Tomblin], all of Urbana. Rev. Crawford Crabtree officiated at the services. Burial was in Evergreen Cemetary at Peebles." [This obit is correct in its info. Neither of these clippings had dates on them]. I have a couple of other obits, articles and clippings that I will attach later. I don't want to hog up all of the next newsletter.

Shirley **************************************************************************** ** ************** Kathryn, Who were the parents of William B., Erastus F., David M., Sarah E., and Irvin Wamsley? I am having a hard time figuring it out. Even though I am related to the West Virginia Wamsleys and not this line, as far as I know, I am keeping the information in case we ever find a link between the families. Thanks, Wanda **************************************************************************** ** ************** The following is a letter from Doris Jean Ferguson: Dear Wanda, I am enclosing a Pedigree Chart, starting with my father, which will fill in some of the blanks in the Ancestor Chart which you prepared for me. My grandparents and two of their sons added "e" to the name "Sharpe". However, I have three uncles who did not. Was glad to know that we are sixth cousins! The materials that I have on my Wamsley ancestors are as follows: 1. I have a copy of the death certificate of my grandfather, Eslie G. Sharpe, which shows Liza Wamsley and John Sharp as his parents. 2. I have a copy of the death certificate of Sarah Ann Eliza Wamsley Beal, who was married first to John T. Sharp aka John Sharp and after his death to J.M. Beal. Her death certificate shows Solomon Wamsley and Elizabeth Stalnaker as parents. 3. I have a copy of the death certificate of Solomon Wamsley, but it does not show who his parents were. 4. Vickers' "Compendium of American Genealogy" - Volume VI, p. 602, shows the marriage of Solomon and Elizabeth, as does "American Families With British Ancestry". I have copies of these pages. 5. I have the book, "A Chronology of the Stalnaker Family in America." It lists 51 Mary Stalnakers. None of them were married to Ebenezer Mace and none are married to a White. This book also shows the marriage of Elizabeth L. Stalnaker to Solomon Wamsley, "son of Jesse and Sarah (Mace) Wamsley." I have a copy of Hu Maswell's "History of Randolph County", and in that book, on page 359, it shows ten children of William and Lydia Steele Currence. And of course, as mentioned in your "Endnotes", it shows William M. Wamsley as the son of Jesse and Sarah (Mace) Wamsley and J. Lafayette Wamsley as the son of Solomon and Elizabeth (Stalnaker) Wamsley, which sets up the marriage of Jesse and Sarah and of Solomon and Elizabeth. I had someone in Elkins, West Virginia, do some research for me. He said that I was the first person he had heard say that Henry and Anne (Currence) mace were the parents of Sarah. I wrote him that I did not dream this up - that the Family History Library of the Mormon Church shows that. I have a copy of the will of Henry Mace, as I wrote you before, he does not name Sarah as a child. The ancestor line that Jean sent me will be in the next newsletter (will not fit in this one). **************************************************************************** ** ********* Kathryn, Thank you for all of the very interesting information that you sent. I was especially glad to find out what happened to Samuel Blaine Wamsley, my g- grandfather's brother. -Wanda **************************************************************************** ** ********* +++++++++++++++HAPPY EASTER+++++++++++++++++

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #22 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following is a letter I received in the mail: "Dear Wanda, Thank you for replying to my brother's E-mail. As he probably told you, I am not on the Internet, but I have seen one or two fo your newsletters. We are descendants of the West Virginia Wamsleys. Our great ggrandmother was a Wamsley. She was Sarah Ann Eliza Wamsley, the daughter of Solomon Wamsley, who was the son of jesse Wamsley and Sarah Mace. Sarah Ann Eliza Wamsley was married to John Sharp, who was killed in an accident in 1899, and Eliza thereafter married R. M. beal. My maiden name is Sharpe. I have found Sharps and Sharpes in census records. Burke's "American Families with British ancestry" shows Jesse as the son of Joseph and Joseph as the son of David, who left Lancashire and settled in America about 1725. Someone gave me the information that Joseph Wamsley was married to Eva Skidmore, the daughter of Abraham Skidmore. I do not know where she got her information. She also said that Joseph was married four times. I had gotten information that Sarah Mace was the daughter of Henry Mace and Ann Currence, but the will of Henry Mace does not show Sarah as a daughter. The same person who gave me the information about Joseph and Eva told me that Henry was not Sarah's father, but that Ebenezer Mace and Mary Stalnaker were her parents. As I understand it from her, Ebenezer and Henry were brothers. Again, I do not know where she got her information, and I have not found this information anywhere. I am, of course, interested in documenting who are sarah's parents. And I am also interested in learning whatever I can about the Wamsleys who are my ancestors and their spouses, etc. I would be interested in receiving your E-mail newsletter, but as I said, I am not on the Internet. Any information you can give me will be appreciated. sincerely, Mrs. Doris Jean S. Ferguson" **************************************************************************** ** ********** Anyone who sends me a stamped, self-addressed envelope can get a copy of our most recent newsletter. I had not planned to get into snail-mail newsletters, but I know that there are some people wanting to find out about the Wamsley families who do not have computers or an Internet service. My only request is that they try to send in some contribution, no matter how small, with each SASE they send to me. (examples: your ancestor line, one ancestor's dates and waht you know about him or her, a family story, a question about an ancestor, etc.) Requests can be sent to: 3500 Castlebury Drive, Chester, Virginia 23831. (One newsletter for each SASE, please. $.32 postage will be enough.) Thanks, Wanda *************************************************************** I keep past newsletters on my computer.

A number of years ago I was in contact with a guy who still lives in Cleves area who is desc from Moses B. I couldn't find my notes on him, I should re-contact him to see if he's found out anything in the intervening years. If you are interested in this line, let me know and I'll keep you posted if I find out anything new. William Wamsley RN36. (Evd 799) From History of Hamilton Co OH (Ford 1881) pg 326. William Maensley [note misspelling] was born in Virginia in 1785, where he married Nancy Bussel. She died, leaving six children, in Miami, in 1822. He came to this State in 1815, but had lived for a time previously in Boone county, Kentucky. His first Ohio settlement was made at North Bend, on the farm now the property of Charles Short. In politics he was an Old Line whig. He died in Ripley, Indiana, in 1837. He had six children: James, at present in Texas; Moses B., now married to Eunice Hayes; John B., married to Mary J. Ingraham; Eliza, the wife of David Jones, of Indiana; Samuel, married to Catharine Gronendike; and Stephen W., married to Mary Vangorder, and a resident of Indiana at the present time. (Evd 750) Original marriage bond at Boone Co KY courthouse has original signatures of William Wamsley and Moses S Bussell. Know all men by these presents that we William Wamsley and Moses Bustto [note that's the way it's spelled at this point] are ___ and firmly bound unto The Commonwealth of Kentucky in the penal sum of Fifty pounds current money payable to the said Commonwealth to which payment shall truly to be made we bind our selves each and every of our Heirs Executors and Admrs jointly & severally ___ by these presents sealed & dated this 23rd of May 1820. The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas a license is desired fro a marriage intended between the said William Wamsley & Nancy Bussell now if it should always hereafter appear that there is no lawful cause to obstruct the said marriage then this obligation to be void and to remain in full force & virtue. [signed] William Wamsley, Moses S Bussell. (Evd 1426) In the Centennial History of Rush Co IN (Gary & Thomas 1921) vol 2 page 66+ is the bio of William's descendant (Wm-1, WmB-2, WmC-3, OrinP-4) Orin P Wamsley. There is some interesting info in this that bears looking into as it is not confirmed any place else that I have seen. It says "William B. Wamsley was born in Boone county, Kentucky, son of George W. Wamsley and wife, pioneers of that county, who later came across the river and settled in Hamilton county, where George W. Wamsley was killed by a log falling upon him and crushing his head during a pioneer ‘barn raising' in the neighborhood in which he lived." However, one thing makes this info suspect is that later in the article it has Elizabeth Wamsley (who married Wm Fred Rhinehart) as the daughter of the wrong person. When a more current "fact" is wrong, are the further back ones any more accurate? There have been no males by the name of George carried down in the family, so where did this come from?

James-2 Wamsley (progenitor) son of Jame-1 and Margaret (Buchanon) Wlmsley or Wamsley, was born 29 Sep 1790 in Finlane, Killesher Parish, Townshp of Enniskillen, County of Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. He arrived in Phildelphia between 1800-1804. Vocation: weaver. He married Elizabeth Benson in 1814. Four children: John 1815-1896, George W 1817-1908, Barzilla 1820-1842, and Emily 1827-1900. Without going into the reasons, I have also eliminated the Wamsleys that are in Adams Co Ohio. William just can't fit in anyplace on that family.

He has help the ofices of constable and treasurer for his township, and has also been steward in the Methodist Episcopal church, where he has a membership. In politics he is a strong Republican. In 1846 he built a warehouse at Cleves and began the buying of g rain, which he followed twenty years, when he abandoned it and took up farming. Twelve years previous to the above date he was in business on the river between Cincinnati and New Orleans. It took an entire year in those days to make one trip. In 1839 he was married to Miss Eunice Hayes, of this township. They have had nine children: Anderson B., married to Mary H. Lewis; Anna H., and Alvin C.: James F., married to Anna Markland; Abiatha B., the wife of Otto Low, of Indiana; Fanny M., John H., Arabella, and Chalon G. Evd 536) From History of Hamilton Co OH (Ford 1881) gives more information. Moses B Wamsley was born in Kentucky, in 1814, and two years afterwards was brought to Whitewater township by his parents. He became, in due time, a farmer and grain buyer, and has been for twenty-five years, one of the most extensive dealers in this part of the country. In 1830 he was married to Miss Eunice Hayes, of the well known pioneer family. They have nine children - five sons and four daughters, viz: Anderson B., Anna H., Alvin C., James Finley, Abitha B., Mary Frances, Job H., Arabella, and Chalon G. Those deceased are Anna and Albin. Mr Wamsley resides in Miami township, and is one of the prominent and substantial citizens of the county. The only representative residing in Whitewater township, is Anderson, the eldest son, who was born in the year 1840. He resided with his parents until the time of his marriage, in 1867, to Miss Mary H. Lewis. To Mr and Mrs Wamsley were born seven children - four sons and three daughters: Joseph L., Benjamin B., Anna, Clara, Edward H., Mary Alice, and George L. Mary Alice died in infancy. Mr Wamsley is one of the enterprising your farmers of Whitewater. He was a soldier in the war of 1861-5 for more than three years. He enlisted as a private, but received three commissions as a first and second lieutenant and captain. He was in numerous severe engagements, but fortune favored him and he escaped unhurt, and returned to his home crowned with all the honor to which our gallant sons were justly entitled. He has been assessor of his township various times, thus bespeaking for him the full confidence of the people. Mrs Wamsley is an earnest member of the Presbyterian church and a staunch supporter of the faith. Mr Wamsley is no associated with any church organization, but ever favors the right and is a firm advocate of law and order. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - William B Wamsley RN 2783 Centennial History of Rush Co IN (1921) (SLC 93491818#4, my Evd 1426) has a bio of his grandson (pg 66+) which says that William B Wamsley "grew to manhood in Hamilton Co and after his marriage located at Oxford in Butler Co whence he presently moved to Cincinnati and was serving as sheriff of Hamilton Co at the time of his death there in 1851. His widow survived him but a few months dying in 1852 leaving four children." There is more on the siblings descendants, but there is at least one error because he attributes Elizabeth who married Wm F Rhinehart as being one of them, and that is wrong as Elizabeth and Wm Fred Rhinehart are my ancestors. - - - - - Kathryn Rhinehart Bassett (Pasadena CA) kathryn.bassett@switchboard.net "genealogy is my bag" "GH is my soap" http://pw2.netcom.com/~kathrynb/kathryn.htm +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: s2ee@juno.com To: wamsleyweb@AOL.COM NOTICED in the line of Jacob Wamsley & wife Minerva Hamilton child #3 Jared Lee Wamsley b. fEb 1854 d Jan 1916 there was no wife listed.

Her parents were John Wamsley(info unknown) and Aletha Snelson. Now, the confusing part for me.. Aletha Snelson was born in 1868 to James A Snelson and Catherine Channel. Catherine was born to Elizabeth Channel and (first name unknown) WAMSLEY. both Catherine and Elizabeth are from Huttonsville,Randolph cnty,Wv. Elizabeth and Mr. Wamsley were married in @1823. Is it,-for which im sure- that the John Wamsley she married , could be already related to her father in some distant way? thanks for your time.. andy markle **************************************************************************** ** From: walmsley@mr.net (Frank Wamsley) Wanda: Yes, thank you, I would like to receive your "wamsley newsletter". It appears that the spelling "Walmsley" and "Wamsley" were sometimes used by the same person. My grandfather, John Henry Walmsley, used the spelling "Wamsley" on his Marriage certificate signature in 1884. Today we pronounce our Walmsley surname with the first "L" almost silent.

She mentioned the Stout line and I just wanted to point out that there are quite a few Stout references in the Katherine Hart Frame book (which I happen to have and will look up for anyone.). One of the sources Frame used seems to be Ege's "pioneers of Old Hopewell" Stout Geneology and family research. the 21st line was Nancy Stout b. Hopewell, NJ July 25, 1756 d.

We worked on trying to find the first wife of Dr. Elam Talbott last fall and decided it must have been Keziah Proudfoot. This would mean that Keziah died before he married Julia Ann Capito in 1860. Dr. Elam was born 1810 and died in 1881. If you have Keziah and Elam's death dates from their tombstones, then the Elam that married Keziah Proudfoot may NOT be Dr Elam, but his nephew, son of Elisha and Millie Stephens Talbott. Do you happen to have a list of the children of Elam T and Keziah Proudfoot Talbott--from his estate or from an obituary?

But, maybe you can help me. I'm familiar with the Randolph Co Wamsleys and wouldn't be suprised if there is a connection *somehow*, but I haven't come up with it yet. I *do* know that mine are *not* part of the Athens Co OH bunch. Do you have info on the descendants of Thomas Wamsley and Margaret "Comfort" Ingram? Comfort names some grandchildren in her will but that's it. I've found very little on this branch. They seem to have had John (b1787), Thomas, and 2 girls With naming patterns, it seems likely they might have had a William as well. Since they went to KY (at least she died there), there is a possiblity of a tie-in. By the way, I have a Dec 1996 address for another Randolph Co WV Walmsly researcher.

One, Joseph never had a Daniel. The Rebecca and Sarah Ann are not proven daughters as far as I know. Rebecca and Sarah Ann's birth dates fit for two unknown daughters, but both were gone in 1820 and Sarah Ann did not marry until 1821. Also Joseph Sr. died between 1840-50 in Randolph Co. Dick Phares and I have spent untold hours on this man trying to get his family straightened out. I feel there is some scandal attached as I could get nothing out of my family who remembered generations back, except that he had a bunch of girls. Yeah, since 3 of them are my ancestors, that was an understatement. Willing to help anyone on this line. What various stories do you have on the birthplace, etc. of Joseph's father? Absolutely nothing has been proven on his ancestors either. All those Maryland Wamsleys may or may not be right. There is an Isacc Wamsley family that established itself in Ohio about the time that John was in Pendleton and of all things, they have many of the same traditions, but no one has been able to connect them together. They certainly sound as if they are. Enought now, got to get supper and get ready to watch WVU beat Utah in the NCAA tournaments. More later.
