Elizabeth Wamsley, born December 18, 1809 in Ohio1. She was the daughter of 2. Isaac Harvey Wamsley, Jr. and 3. Rachel. She married (1) David Russell Caldwell March 02, 1830 in Franklin County, Indiana. Child of Elizabeth Wamsley and David Caldwell is: i. Serilda Caldwell, married Christopher Columbus Caswell Generation No. 2 2. Isaac Harvey Wamsley, Jr., born 1778 in New Jersey2; died Aft 1820. He was the son of 4. Isaac Harvey Wamsley, Sr. and 5. Leah Stout Taylor. He married 3. Rachel in New Jersey or Kentucky. 3. Rachel. Notes Isaac, Jr. went with his family from New Jersey to Adams County, Ohio. Later, in 1813, he went to Franklin County, Indiana with his family. Some of his decendants then went to Wabash County, Indiana; others went to Decatur County, Indiana. He went farther west than his brothers and became a "wild man," as he was called by the rest of the family, because of his roving disposition, and his fondness for hunting and the wild sports of the trackless forest. In the history books of Adams County, Ohio he is referred to as "the wild man" because of lack of desire to stay in one place; he liked to roam. His descendants have been traced to California and the isles of the sea. Marriage Notes Isaac and Rachel travelled to Franklin County, Indiana about 1813. Children of Isaac Wamsley and Rachel are: i. Isaac Wamsley III, born 1798 in Adams County, Ohio4; died August 08, 18685; married Elizabeth Carson May 11, 18196. ii. Leah Wamsley, married Jonathan Stout January 20, 1821. iii.

She was the daughter of 10. Stout. Notes The great-grandfather of the present race of Wamsleys, was born in North Germany sometime in the seventeenth century. He was a seafaring man, the captain of a vessel whose appearance in American waters, about the year 1770, is beginning of the Wamsley history in this country. His vessel seemed to be of a warlike character and took part in the early struggle of America upon the high seas. It is not definitely known under which flag he sailed, whether English or American, and the tradition is that he was kind of free lancing, sailing upon his own hook and doubtless exacting tribute from any and all the parties engaged in those early days, when privateers and bucaneers sailed the seas, some with, but more without, letters of marque from organized forms of government. After the loss of his vessel by wreck or capture, he settled in Maryland or Delaware. He took part in the struggle of the Colonies against England and settled in the area of New York City. He and his wife and four sons emigrated to the Northwest Terrritory in 1798 and located on Ohio Brush Creek, at Forge Dam in Jefferson Township. Children of Isaac Wamsley and Leah Taylor are: i. William Wamsley, born January 23, 1776; died September 26, 1845 in Adams County, Ohio; married Sarah Wikoff 1798 in Adams County, Ohio. 2 ii. Isaac Harvey Wamsley, Jr., born 1778 in New Jersey; died Aft 1820; married Rachel in New Jersey or Kentucky. iii.

I would like to subscribe to it. I am interested in the family of John Wamsley & Judith Dorcus who md in Anne Arundel MD and moved to Augusta County, VA. Their 6th child James Wamsley b Mar 6 1762 d 28 Feb 1842 in Lewis Co. VA is the particular one I would like information on. According to a record in the DAR library, this man substituted for Thomas Bland of Augusta Co. VA (Pendleton Co. later) in the revolution War. He md a Barbara Bland 1783 in Lewis Co. VA acc. to that record and your newsletter. Of course Lewis Co. wasn't in existence at that time, so I wonder what the source is for this information. I'm interested because I have heard that Margaret who was first wife of Thomas Bland may have been a Wamsley. I see no listing of a Margaret in the info on the Wamsley's. She would have been born about 1740 and died about 1792. I had never heard of a Barbara Bland in this area before seeing the above item last year, so I am very anxious to know more about her. Was she a daughter of Thomas Bland? I hope someone has an ironclad source for this information and can help me link her to a Bland family. Are any descendants of this couple on your list of correspondents on the Wamsleyweb? Thanks for any news on this family that may exist. There was a Bland family in Anne Arundel Co. MD in these early days, so it sounds like good information. Sincerely, Edith Lanning *You're right - Lewis County, Virginia (now West Virginia) was formed in 1816 from Harrison County and Randolph County.* ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] ]] ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Hi Wanda, You emailed me a biography of George Fisher WAMSLEY in November to include in the Randolph County Archives.

Two facts encourage me to send the information on my family: An Edward from Ireland is mentioned in your newsletter and my aunt indicated we were related to Amecedes Smith. She was called Mary, married a Walmsley and lived in Virginia. If there is any interest in the family listed below I will gladly share what information I have. Our direct line came from England to Ireland with the army of William III and/or with the Plantation movement under Cole. Walmsley's are listed in both groups. We assume they originally came from Saxony. In the city of York (which was a fortified city), one of the old fortified gates which is still preserved is called "Walmsgate." I. Edward Walmsley 1792-1852 Born in the Parish of Magheraculmoney. Married Mary Anne b. 1799 d. April 17, 1869. Lived in Drumconnis, Parish of Magheracross. 1. Nicholas 2. Edward 3. Charles b. July 25, 1828 Charles m. Mary Montgomery in Ballinamallard. [ Mary's parents: James & Elizabeth Graham Montgomery.] Charles/Mary had 6 children: 1. Mary Jane & 2. Wm. Charles were sent to Canada at age 15 & 13 to be raised by their uncle James Graham Montgomery & Mrs. Elisabeth Bird. 3. Edward went to Scotland with ‘Lizzie' and served in theQueen's Grays according to family stories. 4. James John (my grandfather) immigrated to America in 1881. 5. Elizabeth Catherine went to Scotland as a Nanny with Edward. Never heard from them again. 6. Robert James stayed in Curran, Ireland. Mary Jane Wamsley married Fred Colman and raised a family in Canada. Charlie moved to Alpena, Michigan. James John married Sarah Atkinson of Ireland and they lived in Chicago. They owned a soap factory and then a neighborhood grocery which today would be located in the center of Chicago on Garfield St. In 1907 James John located his brother and moved his family to Alpena, Michigan in 1910.

It is generally accepted that their brother, William, was the person mentioned in this order. At this time he was of age and himself married. In 1756 Joseph, Jr. would have been about 18 years old and Matthew about 17. The question in my mind is who was the guardian of Joseph and Matthew from the time Joseph, Sr. died in 1782 and 1786 when this order was dated. Some have speculated that the wife of Joseph, Sr. was living during this time but she wasn't mentioned in his will. Also I notice in several entries that it is stated as fact that Matthew Dorcus was the father of Judith Dorcus. As far as I know this has never been proved. The document I have states that her father "may have been" Matthew Dorcus. Newsletter #13: The marriage date of Jacob See Wamsley and Minerva Hamilton is given as January 9, 1850.

I see that her question was answered on the Pendleton County listserve with a helpful item from the list administrator, Nedra Brill (brillnd@pacifier.com). This is the best information I have seen on this family: Mary Harter, FASG, was the self-proclaimed Pendleton County Genealogist and a descendant of this Cunningham Family. I have her library and files. Mary published an EXCELLENT compilation on this Cunningham Family in Volume 29 of "The Virginia Genealogist," 1985. She carefully researched the family for 30 years, looking for absolute proof since all too many "I think so's" have been published on the families of Pendleton County. There were several James Cunninghams in the area and Mary read, page by page, and abstracted all Cunningham wills and deeds to 1810 in the counties of Augusta, Bath, Rockbridge, Botetourt and Rockingham Counties, VA, and Hardy, Hampshire, Pendleton, Randolph and Berkeley, WV. [No one ever said that accurate genealogical research was quick!] Mary copied all land grants from Cunninghams in western Virginia, as filed at the VA State Archives, and traced the tracts as far as possible, and also checked records in several Pennsylvania counties. She made an extensive point of the importance of looking at ALL available records, for she often thought she had identified her ancestor, only to discover a new document that proved a different family for that man. ANYONE who has Cunningham ancestors should obtain a copy of this excellent article. I have personnally done some limited research on a few of the descendants, although not the Wilmoths. The Cunninghams are not my ancestors. Sheryl, to answer your specific question, Mary Cunningham was the daughter of James and Agnes (--?--) Cunningham, as proven by a deed from the heirs of James Cunningham to Edward Burres, dated 24 September 1810 (prov. 21 October 1819), recorded Bath County, VA, Deed Book 6:30, in support of two other deeds which give further, but not complete, proof. Mary married John Wilmoth, and it was their marriage BOND that was dated 16 October 1799, not their marriage date. Mary Harter references two published sources of information on them: Maxwell's History of Randolph County (1898), noting that John could not have been the son of Nicholas Wilmoth and Sidney Currence who were married in 1789, and "Wilmoth, Wilmeth, Etc." by James Lillard Wilmoth (Philadelphia, 1940). John and Mary (Cunningham) Wilmoth had 12 children who are named by Maxwell. James Cunningham was probably the son of John Cunningham and Mary Peterson. Perhaps someone can offer PROOF of this--much, much has been published that supposes this but no actual documents have been located. Mary discusses this in great length in the article, including the second marriage of John's widow Mary.

Some of you may find this interesting. The following came through on another list tonight and thought I'ld pass it along. Many of you may know this already, but for the benefit of those who may not: In 1866, the state of West Virginia minted a medal for each of the soldiers who participated in the Civil War. Originally, 26,099 were minted and many given to the soldier himself. However, the state was unable to find all the veterans, leaving the medal unclaimed. In fact, there are still about 5,200 which have not been claimed and presented to the families of these veterans. The WV Archives are working to locate the descendants of these soldiers. The claim process is simple: 1. Go to the site, read about the medals and check the list. 2. If one of the names on the list matches your ancestor, follow the claim submission process detailed at the site. 3. They will work with you to verify your claim, and if validated you could receive the medal on behalf of your ancestor.

It is generally accepted that their brother, William, was the person mentioned in this order. At this time he was of age and himself married. In 1756 Joseph, Jr. would have been about 18 years old and Matthew about 17. The question in my mind is who was the guardian of Joseph and Matthew from the time Joseph, Sr. died in 1782 and 1786 when this order was dated. Some have speculated that the wife of Joseph, Sr. was living during this time but she wasn't mentioned in his will. Also I notice in several entries that it is stated as fact that Matthew Dorcus was the father of Judith Dorcus. As far as I know this has never been proved. The document I have states that her father "may have been" Matthew Dorcus. Newsletter #13: The marriage date of Jacob See Wamsley and Minerva Hamilton is given as January 9, 1850.

I see that her question was answered on the Pendleton County listserve with a helpful item from the list administrator, Nedra Brill (brillnd@pacifier.com). This is the best information I have seen on this family: Mary Harter, FASG, was the self-proclaimed Pendleton County Genealogist and a descendant of this Cunningham Family. I have her library and files. Mary published an EXCELLENT compilation on this Cunningham Family in Volume 29 of "The Virginia Genealogist," 1985. She carefully researched the family for 30 years, looking for absolute proof since all too many "I think so's" have been published on the families of Pendleton County. There were several James Cunninghams in the area and Mary read, page by page, and abstracted all Cunningham wills and deeds to 1810 in the counties of Augusta, Bath, Rockbridge, Botetourt and Rockingham Counties, VA, and Hardy, Hampshire, Pendleton, Randolph and Berkeley, WV. [No one ever said that accurate genealogical research was quick!] Mary copied all land grants from Cunninghams in western Virginia, as filed at the VA State Archives, and traced the tracts as far as possible, and also checked records in several Pennsylvania counties. She made an extensive point of the importance of looking at ALL available records, for she often thought she had identified her ancestor, only to discover a new document that proved a different family for that man. ANYONE who has Cunningham ancestors should obtain a copy of this excellent article. I have personnally done some limited research on a few of the descendants, although not the Wilmoths. The Cunninghams are not my ancestors. Sheryl, to answer your specific question, Mary Cunningham was the daughter of James and Agnes (--?--) Cunningham, as proven by a deed from the heirs of James Cunningham to Edward Burres, dated 24 September 1810 (prov. 21 October 1819), recorded Bath County, VA, Deed Book 6:30, in support of two other deeds which give further, but not complete, proof. Mary married John Wilmoth, and it was their marriage BOND that was dated 16 October 1799, not their marriage date. Mary Harter references two published sources of information on them: Maxwell's History of Randolph County (1898), noting that John could not have been the son of Nicholas Wilmoth and Sidney Currence who were married in 1789, and "Wilmoth, Wilmeth, Etc." by James Lillard Wilmoth (Philadelphia, 1940). John and Mary (Cunningham) Wilmoth had 12 children who are named by Maxwell. James Cunningham was probably the son of John Cunningham and Mary Peterson. Perhaps someone can offer PROOF of this--much, much has been published that supposes this but no actual documents have been located. Mary discusses this in great length in the article, including the second marriage of John's widow Mary.

Some of you may find this interesting. The following came through on another list tonight and thought I'ld pass it along. Many of you may know this already, but for the benefit of those who may not: In 1866, the state of West Virginia minted a medal for each of the soldiers who participated in the Civil War. Originally, 26,099 were minted and many given to the soldier himself. However, the state was unable to find all the veterans, leaving the medal unclaimed. In fact, there are still about 5,200 which have not been claimed and presented to the families of these veterans. The WV Archives are working to locate the descendants of these soldiers. The claim process is simple: 1. Go to the site, read about the medals and check the list. 2. If one of the names on the list matches your ancestor, follow the claim submission process detailed at the site. 3. They will work with you to verify your claim, and if validated you could receive the medal on behalf of your ancestor. Simple as that, here's the site: http://www.wvlc.wvnet.edu/history/medals.html ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] ]] ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] From: ejwamsle@eos.ncsu.edu (Eric Jacob Wamsley) To: wamsleyweb@aol.com Wanda, My name is Eric Jacob Wamsley, and I received an email from Mary Ann Wamsley, telling me about the Wamsely Research/newsletter.

Than-you Debbie ZackJosh@aol.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: MAWamsley To: Wamsleyweb I have burial information on a few Wamsleys who are in a cemetery in a relatively inaccessible location on Cheat Mountain, south of Huttonsville, in Randolph County, WV. I have not seen the Randolph County cemetery books, so don't know whether these graves are already recorded or not; this location does not seem to be described in the listing of Randolph County cemeteries at the Allegheny Regional Family History Society web site, but maybe I just didn't recognize the description. My nephews went to this cemetery on off-road motorcycles and made a video for me. I think they covered the area thoroughly -- they cleaned up the cemetery and uprighted several fallen stones. They read the inscriptions to the best of their ability; the gravestones are in poor condition and it is certain that there are several unmarked graves also. The cemetery has been fenced fairly recently, but not before cattle had been allowed to roam freely and do a lot of damage. I had most of these people in my database already, so for your information will include some annotations about who they are: Jesse Wamsley d, June 10, 1857 age 62 {Jesse is the son of Joseph Wamsley, Sr. and Eve _______.} Sarah {MACE} wife of Jesse Wamsley d.

(source: Library of Virginia, Grants 114, page 456) Captain Wamsley was a sympathizer with the South in the Civil War. In 1861 he took his family to Virginia and left them near Lexington while he joined the army, soon becoming captain of Company D, 19th Va. Cavalry. He saw much active service. His company was mostly made up of men from Randolph and Pocahontas Counties. In civil life he was largely identified with public affairs; was six years president of the county court, and was a man of wide influence and of sterling worth, who was a leader among men and whose influence lives after him.

Debbie Allen :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: re: Wamsley Elementary School, Rifle, Colorado. "Dear Mrs. Balducci, I am happy to respond to your questions concerning the naming of our elementary school. The school was named after Cecile Wamsley, a wonderful teacher. Cecile taught school in Rifle for many years, and in fact was my first grade teacher. She was truly a special lady and touched the lives of many young people during her teaching career. It was decided to name the new school after her but unfortunately she passed away before it was finished. Cecile passed away in 1980 and the school was dedicated in April of 1982. Cecile's family was raised in Rifle and her husband Bob still resides here. I hope this information has been helpful to you. I feel very fortunate to work at the school named for Mrs. Wamsley.

Subj: WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #10 Date: 11/14/97 Hi Shirley, I found Dora G Romine Talbott, but I didn't find F C, Fred, nor Dr. Goff in my database. These are probably too new for some of my information. Thanks for keeping me informed on your research. It has really increased the size of my Talbott file. I really appreciate it. Susan ************************************************************************* ***************** Mary Ann (or anyone), When I went to Sue Moore's site that you told us about, I found an Albertus Wamsley who was married to Susanna Robertson. Who is he? his parents? - Wanda **************************************************************************** ** ******************* Judy, At the Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants site, I saw that you are researching "Canfield". My grandfather's brother, John Huff Wamsley, married Rebecca Alice Canfield (I do not know sho her parents were). Any connection? Also, Levi Smith's wife Sarah Wamsley was my gggrandfather's (Andrew Marcellus Wamsley) second cousin. Wanda **************************************************************************** ** ****************** Mary Ann, Here is the question that Hoyt asked in a previous newsletter: Jane Wamsley, born 1783 PA, dau. of William Wamsley, a Rev. War soldier. She married (1st) John Neely (died War of 1812); had children (1) Elizabeth, (2) Lewis, (3) Polly. She married (2nd) --------- Lambert and had children (4) Nancy and (5) Lucinda. Her oldest daughter Elizabeth, my gggmother, (1809-1868) married Noah Lambert (1805-1852) a son of her mother's 2nd husband by a previous marriage. After the death of Jane's 2nd husband, she lived in Switzerland Co., IN (1860); and subsequently with her daughter Elizabeth in Cedar Co, IA where she died. I am interested in any information regarding this Wamsley family, particularly as to Jane's ancestry. Responses, if any, to this newsletter or to: hoytee@aol.com **************************************************************************** ** ***************** All, Randolph County, West Virginia Genealogy Page (http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvrandol/) will be having a Randolph County Share Day in the future. I think that what they plan to do is to have people with Randolph County roots submit family information which will be available at the site for anyone to view. If you get a chance, visit the site and consider submitting something. It would be good for a project like this to be successful. The following is from the person who is getting this information together. --Wanda From: vfcrook@trellis.net (Valerie F. Crook) To: Wamsleyweb@aol.com Hi Wanda, The Share Day was set up by the former host of the Randolph Co. Website. It is not a particular "day" so to speak, rather an opportunity for everyone to share something that they have with other researchers. In the next few weeks, Rootsweb will have a search engine to come on-line that will allow us to search the WVGenWeb Archives. I will be moving the Share Day information to the Archives so that we may search them. Right now, the information can only be accessed from the Randolph Co. site. This may take some time as I am new to HTML. Please tell your "cousins" that they may send their Wamsley information to me and I will put it in the Archives as soon as possible. Thanks! Valerie FORREN Crook Monroe, NC vfcrook@trellis.net **************************************************************************** ** ****************** Wanda, Rec'd your good newsletter #9. Thanks much. Will just go over the Talbotts that I can find in the Frame Book.."The Harts of Randolph" published 1976 McClain Pub. Co. According to pg 346 Margaret Elizabeth Capito b. 1824 m. Jan 20, 1841 to Edward Stephens Talbott (son of Elisha & Amelia Stephens Talbott) Margaret & Edward's first ch. Lewis Creed Talbott was b. Apr 1843. They had 10 more children (listed in this Frame book) with the last one Charles Dowden b. 1866. Is there a marriage record for Margaret Capito & Elam Dowden Talbott? Believe her m. to Edward Stephen Talbott b. 1821 son of Elisha, Dr. Elam's older brother makes better sense? Wanda I feel Margaret was not Dr. Elam's wife. The Dr. Elam & Keziah Proudfoot marriage makes sense .. for wasn't Alexander's middle name Proudfoot IF the time frame is right. Is there more than one Alexander Talbott? I give up! Can't figure it out! :) BFN Shirley **************************************************************************** * ****************** Mary Ann just recently put me in touch with a Harper descendant who I have never corresponded with before.

I am a descendandt of Violet Crouch. She was born in North Carolina, and married Daniel Williams in Boonesborough in 1787. She died at Caney Creek, Kentucky and is buried on a small hill in Caney, Kentucky. She was about 60 years old at the time of her death.

A survey commissioned by the two states has determined the precise boundary, and the legislatures of Virginia and West Virginia are expected to ratify the boundary amendment in January, said state Sen. Charles Waddell, D-Loudoun. "It's a little bit of unfinished business from the Civil War," Waddell said yesterday. "I would envision a ceremony where the governor of Virginia and West Virginia shake hands across the border." The agreement should end conflicts about who provides fire, police and other public services to the two dozen or so residents living along the boundary and where the children go to school. The disputed line runs from the Potomac River at Harriers Ferry National Historic Park to the edge of Jefferson County in West Virginia and Loudoun County, Virginia.

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #5 October 10, 1997 I'm going to start with the mail I've gotten since the last newsletter. It is important for you to respond to any of these that you can, even if you feel that what you have to contribute is not much. You may have information that someone else might find very valuable!! ******* Hi WAnda, Mary Ann Wamsley & a Susan McMahan have been back & forth on the e mail recently about this Talbott / Capito / and various other VA/WV families. I'm not directly connected with Talbotts..my gg grandmother Julia Ann Capito Steinbeck b. 1808 d. 1889 was dau of a Daniel & Nancy Capito and had a brother Daniel Jr. Dan Jr m. Jerusha Hart and they had 2 daughters marrying into the Talbott family. In fact it appears that Dr. Elam m. Margaret Capito (lst born) AND Julia Ann b. 1830 (named for her aunt). Interesting but .. What is the procedure for being on your Wamsleyweb? I am not connected to the internet..just have e mail only. Be happy to exchange any info I may have or may get in future .. imagine you have now what I've collected .mostly from the Frame book 'Harts of Randolph" and Barbour Co info. Somehow or another the Queens and Radabaughs are all connected in there too...those are 2 more surnames in my father's family.The Capito and Talbott from my maternal side! Thanks .. Shirley Toohey ******* According to "Wanda", a descendant of Elisha and Millie (Amelia/Mildred) Stephens Talbot throu daughter S Margaret who married George Fisher Wamsley--Elisha named Edwin S in his will. This must be the Edward S referred to in the "Harts of Randolph". Apparently I misread Elam for Edwin in the marriage records--or someone else did, because I don't know where I got the marriage record. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now I have to find out who Dr. Elam Dowden Talbot's first wife was. Does anyone have access to the 1850 census for Barbour county. Since he didn't marry Julia Ann until 1860 and his first child (Permelia) was born in 1852, maybe he married before the census. Then again, maybe he was married while he was away at medical school. I have a letter dated 1912 from "Gall", whom I assume is George Gall Jr, regarding the family history. His mother had died and he had lent the material to someone who was writing a history of Barbour county and it was lost. I have changed my records. Let me know what you think. Susan ******* I would like to comment on a couple of Mary Ann's questilons. DORCUS: The name Matthew Dorcus comes from data by Gary Wamsley of Loveland, CO. and references research by a Francis Yocum who apparently researched the entire MD family and tied them to the VA family. It states that the father of Judith Dorcus was "probably Matthew". I have been unable to locate either Gary or Francis. JONATHAN WAMSLEY: Jonathan's "partner in crime" was Jonathan F. Newlon, Hannah's brother. They submitted false applications for pensions for David and Thomas Wamsley. Both were recinded in 1835. For anyone who is interessted I have the original copies of the pictures of Sarah F. Wamsley and Jacob Snyder. I will be glad to send scanned copies to anyone who would like to have them. These pictures were sent to me by Robert Snyder of St. Marys, WV, now deceased. I am about to release an updated version of my entire Wamsley database. This file contains about f800 descendants (not counting parents of spouses where known) of Thamas Wamsley and Elizabeth Travers of England. To get a copy of this database you must be a Wamsley descendant and submit a copy of your own Wamsley database. I prefer a zipped GEDCOM file but if that is not possible, hard copy will be accepted. This database is not a true genealogical file, but rather a collection of data submitted by other researchers. Much of it is proved but some of it is not. Contact me at dphares@traveller.com, or write to Richard L. Phares, 2205 Rothmore Drive SW, Huntsville, AL 35803-1465. The file will be sent to you as a zipped GEDCOM file. Dick Phares-Huntsville, AL ******* I will send you some information on = David Lee Wamsley the son of Andrew Polk Wamsley my dad and grandfather. Just wanted you to know who this one was Eva Wamsley Loeffelbein ******* John Robinson II son of John Robinson, Lord Mayor of London, md Elizabeth ? from Yorkshire, England in 1635 and settled in York co. VA. A. William 1. James William 1704-1781 md Mary Margaret McKinney 1712-1781 a. William B. 1743-1815 md Mary MARGARET ROACH 1745-1815 ****************** Settled in Harrison co. VA - John - Benjamin - William II - James - Sarah - Mary - Elizabeth - Rebecca - Margaret - Catherine Hi Wanda, Following the above path, the above Margaret ROACH is the only possible connection I can find. Many believe that her maiden name is SEE and that ROACH is from her first husband Beriah/Littleberry ROACH who was scalped in the 16 Jul 1763 Muddy Cr Massacre in Greenbrier Co, WV along with Margaret's father (& my GF) Frederick Michael SEE. Perhaps another post will bring out the source of the above data or find some light? Best, Hal McCawley ******* Wanda -- Here are my comments, questions, and "random thoughts" on Wamsley~Web #3. Mary Ann Wamsley (MAWamsley@aol.com) ZINN Paul Thompson asked about the ZINN family, particularly Alpheus, and any connection between Zinns and THOMPSONS: Maxwell's History of Barbour County says (p. 516-17) that Alpheus Zinn, s/o Peter and Catherine (Chriss) Zinn, was m. (1) to "a daughter of John H. Woodford" [Note: It was Mary.]; children: Virginia C., Nancy E., and Rezin C. and (2) on 4 Jan 1854 to Lucinda Ann Gawthrop, d/o James and Hulda (Waldo) Gawthrop. Children: William Davidson, Sylvanus Waldo, Luella, and Claudius A. (The subject of the sketch is their son Sylvanus W. Zinn, b. 1859, m. Lurina Harris, d/o Hensley and Caroline (Woodson) Harris. It lists their children and discusses his agricultural accomplishments.) It also says that William Harrison Zinn, b. 1846, s/o David and Louisa Zinn, was m. 15 Apr 1869 to Lucinda, d/o John and Rebecca (THOMPSON) Corder. Child: Delbert W. [Could this be the Thompson connection you're looking for?] Here are other ZINN names I see mentioned: Isaac, Augustus J., Charlotte, Charles L., Asa G., Emory Otto, Oscar, E. Dowden, Herbert Goff, Aubrey Lee, Ressa Ann, Rosetta, Lacy Glenn, Bertha Eoline, Gladys, John Avis, Albert S., Dora Belle, Dorrance Dana, Gay. I also have other children for A.W. Zinn (from History of Randolph Co.): Lawrence, Clara, George, Ruth, and Martha. (A.W. was s/o Anthony and Margaret BERGER Zinn, but I can't connect them to these other Zinns -- does anybody else have the link?) And I have a LOT more on the GAWTHROP family. Paul, if you want more details, I'd be glad to send a longer e-mail or photocopy these pages for you. OHIO WAMSLEYS I am so glad to see some participants here representing the OH branch of the Wamsleys! One of my long-time wishes has been to find some connection between our lines. Have any of you been in touch with Wilbur Harvey Wamsley of Media, PA? About 5 years ago he sent my husband and me a lot of information on the Adams Co. Wamsleys, but that was before I had started doing genealogy. I still have the materials, and will be glad to share any of it -- there is quite a bit, and I'm not sure of the best way to "compare notes." As you post queries, maybe we'll be able to tell whether I have new information for you. COMFORT INGRAM Does anybody know whether the Comfort INGRAM who m. Isaac TALBOT on 7 Sep 1818 is the same one who was married to Thomas WAMSLEY, s/o John Wamsley, Sr. and Judith Dorcus? Thomas died in KY in 1806. TALBOTT/WELCH Was Margaret Talbott who m. James WELCH also married to Albin/Albert CORDER? Or was that a different Margaret? ******* Nellie Grace HECKERT b. Feb 16,1910 dau of David Clay & Annorah Alice Langford Heckert m. Aug 9, 1939 a Homer Talbott b. Dec 28, 1907 son of Edward Martin Talbott 8th ch of Margaret Elizabeth Capito and Edward Stephens Talbott. Homer was the son of Edward Martin and his 2nd wife Myrtle Holbert m. 2 Dec. 1900. Edward Martin's m.first wife Madora Lee Farnsworth b. 12 July 1859 on Apr11, 1880. Madora was the dau of MOSES WILCOX & Elizabeth HECKERT Farnsworth and d. April 8, 1900. She and Edward Martin Talbott had 9 ch before she passed on. (they are listed in the Frame's Harts of Randolph) Edward & his 2nd wife had 6 ch. Noticed on Norman's disk of Heckerts there may be a discrepancy as he shows Elizabeth b ca 1832 m. Henry Lyda Farnsworth and a sister Sarah b. 1834 m. to MOSES WILCOX. Could be a typo very easily. Will keep this simple but if either of you wish more family line it is listed here..all Edward's children and their spouses. All 15 of them. Reason for my having the Heckert disk .. Paul Frazier sent it thinking it may have a clue to the Eckerts..Maybe Heckert was another spelling for Eckert.?? bfn Shirley ******* The following are in reference to previous newsletters: To Jim Hamilton, The only Edward Wamsley I have is Edward, son of Patrick Wamsley of Pennsylvania. The children of Patrick: Warren Dale, Edward, Harold, Orville, Clyde, Elizabeth, and Beulah. As far as I know, these people do not connect to my family. I can't remember where I got this info, it's something I just jotted down. To Mary Kane Durley, I have a number of Charles Wamsleys, but no Sarah Malkin. Do you have the names of Charles' parents? To Hal McCawley, These are from my family files. Anyone - please feel free to send any corrections if you see that I have made any mistakes or send any additions to the information to follow: Descendants of William Robinson and Margaret See Generation No. 1 WILLIAM ROBINSON (MCKINNEY ) was born 1774, and died Deceased. He married MARGARET SEE. Child of William Robinson and Margaret See is: i. MARY "POLLY" ROBINSON. Generation No. 2 MARY "POLLY" ROBINSON (WILLIAM , MCKINNEY ). She married JOHN WAMSLEY, JR. June 27, 1784 in Harrison County, Virginia (West Virginia after the Civil War), son of John Wamsley and Judith Dorcus. Children of Mary Robinson and John Wamsley are: i.

SAMUEL HILL, April 15, 1824. ******* Yvonne, Mary Jane Leenstra sent me some info on your Isaac Wamsley some time ago. I kept it, even though I have found no relationship between my family and hers: Descendants of Isaac Wamsley Generation No. 1 ISAAC WAMSLEY was born Abt 1750 in north Germany. He married LEAH TAYLOR STOUT. Notes The great-grandfather of the present race of Wamsleys, was born in North Germany sometime in the seventeenth century. He was a seafaring man, the captain of a vessel whose appearance in American waters, about the year 1770, is beginning of the Wamsley history in this country. His vessel seemed to be of a warlike character and took part in the early struggle of America upon the high seas. It is not definitely known under which flag he sailed, whether English or American, and the tradition is that he was kind of free lance, sailing upon his own hook and doubtless exacting tribute from any and all the parties engaged in those early days, when privateers and bucaneers sailed the seas, some with, but more without, letters of marque from organized forms of government. After the loss of his vessel by wreck or capture, he settled in Maryland or Delaware. After the close of the War of the Revolution he removed with his family to what was then known as the Northwest Territory, and located on Ohio Brush Creek, at Forge Dam in Jefferson Township.

Generation No. 2 WILLIAM WAMSLEY (ISAAC ) was born Abt 1775, and died September 26, 1845 in Adams County, Ohio. He married SARAH WIKOFF Abt 1798 in Adams County, Ohio. Notes 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 and members of the M.E. Church, and every one of them 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. It was erected as a matter of convenience for these God-loving men and women who were thus saved a weary journey of seven miles to Moore's Chapel, which was the first meeting house in the county.

When I put together each newsletter, I want everyone to have the same opportunity that I have to answer questions or add to someone else's family records. So, I put everything in here that is sent to me, and if I have any comment I don't add it until the next newsletter. Also, many of you who send material for this newsletter know a lot more than I do and have been doing family research longer than I have. I am no expert, that is for sure! Thanks again for everything you send. -Wanda ********************** To Tom Bell, Thanks for your names and dates you sent in. I was able to add a lot to my records. - Wanda *************** From: s2ee@juno.com (SHIRLEY V TOOHEY) Found this death info on sheets of information with some other surnames. Thought you could add it to your Talbott list. TALBOTT, MRS. DORA G. Wife of Ira Lee Talbott of Alice, (WV?) died last week at the hospital. She was a daughter of late Mr. & Mrs.William Romine of Fink's creek. Besides her husband, five children survive. (Weston (WV) Democrat Fri 29 Sept. 1911) My comment: according to Katherine Frame's book Harts of Randolph.. Ira Lee was the first born son of Daniel B. Talbott jr. 1845 and Elizabeth Jane Wiseman. Ira b. Mar 9, 1871, m. Dora (1) June 22, 1893. Daniel B. is son of Margaret Elizabeth Capito and Edward Stephens Talbott. This same source has an F.C.Talbott, Fiduciary Notice: W.L.Talbott, admin. personal estate of F.C.Talbott deceased. (Democrat Fri 22 Dec 1911) Fred TALBOTT age 34 died this morning of heart failure. He had been ill of typhoid fever. (Dem. Fri 5 Aug 1910). Dr. Goff TALBOTT lived at Moundsville, was a dentist at the Penitentiary. He was found dead along the tracks at Benwood. Body brought to Frenchton, Upshur Co, for burial.His parents lived at Frenchton. He was about 28 years. (Ind. Tues 19 Oct 1915) ******************** ChrisEyeC has been searching for William Wamsley's Bible: Chris, we communicated about this a long time ago, and I remember you said that this was one of the Bible records that was published in the Clarksburg paper many years ago. I recently learned that the Hackers Creek Pioneer Descendants have published a booklet of those Bible record columns that were printed in the newspaper. You may have already seen the article and found that it had no useful clues about the Bible's ownership. If not, you might want to look at this HCPD publication (web address is http://bl- 12.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/) Children of John Wamsley and Judith Dorcus: Wanda, I believe you may have inadvertantly omitted some of the children in this family when you listed them in W~W#6. In case anyone is recording all this as new information, we should probably complete the list: vi. JAMES WAMSLEY, b. 6 Mar 1762, Augusta Co., VA; d. 28 Feb 1842, Lewis Co., VA. vii.

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #8 ******* No connection to my knowledge. According to the 1885 and 1895 census information, my Edward J. Wamsley b. 1820- 21 in Ireland, d. between 1885 and 1895 (spouse, Mary Ann Cosgrove Wamsley, listed as widow in 1895 census). As of the 1885 census, Edward (64) and Mary (60) had resided in Reno Twp., Pope Co., MN for a period of at least 15 years. I have unconfirmed information that Edward J. and Mary Byrn Cosgrove Wamsley married in Kentucky in mid- 1850's. This was Mary Byrn Cosgrove's second marriage (first husband Michael Cosgrove). Mary had 3 or possibly 4 children by Michael Cosgrove, which may have included her daughter, Mary Ann Wamsley Kane, b. 3 March 1854, d. 2 Dec. 1910. I have no information to date on parents or siblings of Edward J.. < KENTUCKY WAMSLEYS Jim Hamilton asked about some specific Wamsleys in Kentucky. I do not have any of those names in my database, but my notes show that we do have at least one family who migrated to KY: Thomas (1752-1866), s/o John WAMSLEY and Judith DORCUS, m. Margaret "Comfort" Ingram 1776. Children: Thomas m. Rebecca STEWART in Montgomery Co., KY; Elizabeth m. James ELLEDGE; John b. 1787 m. Sarah ______ in Montgomery Co., KY; and (daughter) WAMSLEY m. ______ RIGGS. Could there be a connection? >> It seems unlikely. My Edward J. born Ireland, 1820-21, according to current information. Jim Hamlton ******* Mary Ann, You are right about the union of Margaret Talbott and John Alonzo Gibson. I have not been able to find anyone who can tell me anything about it. S. Margaret Talbott's marriage to John Gibson was passed on by oral family history. My grandfather told my father that the couple had 3 girls - Virginia, Belle, and Sally. No one in my immediate family has any idea what happened to those daughters. I have tried writting to a couple of Gibson researchers, but have not heard from them. My grandfather told some of his children that John Gibson taught him carpentry. Another mystery: Margaret's oldest son Elisha died in 1905. The records of Primitive Baptist Church Cemetary state that he was the son of Margaret Wamsley (not Gibson). Anyone have any ideas? ******* Hoyt, I have Janes and Williams, but could not make a connection to yours. Do you have a birth date for William? I have these Lamberts: Alfred Yokum Lambert, Gordon Lambert, William F. mbert. -Wanda ******* Hal, Mary Ann pointed out to me that some of my Robinson information is wrong. Who were the children of James William Robinson (1704-1781) and Mary Margaret McKinney (1712-1781)? -Wanda ******* Seeking Lyle Martin, researching Wamsleys in Minnesota 1870 - 19xx.

How are you at getting "snail mail" written? I'm terrible and I know I will not get around to contacting this person for a long time -- here's Shirley's message, in case you can find time to drop a note re the Wamsley~Web: ". . . just rec'd this surname index from my WAGS group ( Whittier Area Genealogical Society) Never get to meetings (it was Sat.) but my friend picked up my index. First off checked to see who was being researched! Found a Wamsley ...Samuel m. in Harrison Co, WV 1796.

She said that Andrew Marcellus Wamsley is recorded as Andrew Marchial Wamsley in the family's Bible.

Notes Talbotts are on record as living in Randolph County, West Virginia, prior to the year 1800. Buried in Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Randolph County, West Virginia. ( The first church in Barbour, in fact in all of Randolph County, was Bethel Chapel, the Primitive Baptist church just west of Meadowville. When the division in the Baptist denomination came in 1838-39, Bethel remained with the conservative group and hence is known as a Primitive Baptist Church. The log church was used until 1870's when it was torn down and replaced by a frame church which in turn served the congregation until 1944 when it was leveled by a tornado. A new church stands on the same site.

Cemetery Census 1845-1971. The John C. Wamsley family first moved to DeKalb Co. in 1855. He gave land for what became the Wamsley Cemetery. His brother, Jake, was a Captain in the Confederate Army. (No indication that Jake moved west to Missouri.) Cemetery records show the following vital data: John C. Wamsley b. 1810, d. 1890 wife, Elizabeth 1820-1894 son, Luther d. 1857 son, Aretas d. 1864 son, Henson 1849-1921 dau, Celestia 1831-1885 son, Jasper 1846-1927 Next Generation: Henson m.

Henry T. married Sarah Henshaw. I have no information on their son Henry. These Snyders are related to me through Adam Snyder, brother of John Snyder. Adam was married to Nancy Towles. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help. Martha Valentine ******* Hi! I am still waiting for a Wisconsin connection to my Wamsley line. If you still have # 2 available I would like to get it. Many thanks. bdurley@pcii.net Mary Kane Durley. ******* Was at genealogy library for hours this afternoon and found a couple books that you all may have access to. If not, I've copied and can always go back and copy more. Books are Barbour Co, WV Deaths 1 1853-1911 Wills 1 & 1 1/2 1839-1889 by Mary S. Coffman Heritage Was searching for Dr Elam D. Talbott's death date .. Found everything but~ Then from the book History of Barbour Co, WV by Hu Maxwell another Heritage book I found much good information EVen the picture of Dr. Elam's home and his wife and some of his children. I was trying also to find the first wife of Dr. Elam D.Talbott. I had the Proudfoot in mind .. and copied off everything that had that surname. Shirley 2ee ******* Shirley, Do you know what the origin of the name "Proudfoot" is? ----Wanda ******* I would like to point out that the paper by Maude Bliss Allen, "John Wamsley, A Record of His Descendants", contains numerous errors in the first generations. Some of these are abvious and some not so obvious. However, most of the information on later generations seems to be valid when compared with that of other researchers.--Dick Dick Phares-Huntsville, AL ******* Hi... Partial success! According to Ruth Markley's gedcom files on the Allegheny Regional Family History Society's Home Page, Alexander P Talbott's mother's name was Keziah. So, I'm going to go with one of the first (or only) theories--Elam D Talbott's first wife was Keziah Proudfoot. 1850 Barbour Co. Census 600/600 Alexander Proudfoot 58 VA Farmer Elizabeth 49 Kiziah 20 Mary 18 Joshua 16 Nancy 12 Does everyone agree with me??? Susan ******* Wanda -- Here are some comments/questions relating to Wamsley~Web #5: Hal McCawley listed some Harrison Co. ROBINSONS descended from John Robinson II, and asked for the source: These are the same names that I found at the web site I mentioned earlier (Sue Moore -- http://dttwv01.org/sue/index.sht). In that report, this Robinson information is credited to Ann Shreve Norris. No address given for Ann, but I would suggest contacting Sue Moore through her web page if you want to pursue sources. Wanda asked for comments/corrections on her summary of ROBINSON/WAMSLEY family: Wanda, you had William Robinson (who m. Margaret See) as the son of McKinney Robinson. Based on the information at Sue Moore's web site, I have that William B. Robinson and McKinney Robinson were brothers, sons of James William Robinson and Mary Margaret McKinney. I would really like to know who this Mary Margaret McKinney is -- McKinneys are in my direct line, and I don't know whether she is from this same McKinney family or not. Another ROBINSON query: I was contacted by another Robinson researcher who lives in FL and has hit a dead end on her Robinson family. I'll list her basic information here (I have more dates, spouses, etc.): 1. Samuel T. Robinson (1824 MD - 1916 Ritchie Co., WV) m. Elizabeth Kesselring. Children: Sylvanus, Ezra, Hardy, George C., Asbury, Jasper, Brady, Martha Ellen, Ida. 2. George C. Robinson (1857 OH - 1913 Lewis Co., WV) m. Samilda Vannoy. Children: Ira, Lela, Rose, John, Clarence Owen. Can anybody help? If so, contact cissyhassell@worldnet.att.net (Cissy Hassell). Descendants of Isaac Wamsley (Germany >MD/DE>OH): I finally had time to compare the information that was sent to me on the Adams Co., OH, Wamsleys with what was in W~W#5. It looks as if I may have quite a bit that needs to be passed along to the people who are interested in this line -- missing dates, more children, maiden names of wives, etc. that were not in the version Wanda printed in the newsletter. As I said earlier, this is a report that I received about 5 years ago from Wilbur Harvey Wamsley in Media, PA. There is so much here that I can't type it all out for the newsletter -- seems like the best thing to do is to send hard copy to the OH people. Are there just 2 of you? Let me know your "snail mail" addresses and I will get this off to you right away. Mary Ann Wamsley (MAWamsley@aol.com) ******* Susan, WAndy & Margaret .. Have been organizing the information collected yesterday from the 2 books. You probably have this but here goes anyway! Btw. I have no idea if Keziah works out OK for the first wife of Dr.Elam. But with all the infomation that is out there on Dr. Elam I'd think you are very close. Maybe my next trip to Library I can work on that lead! Found in Mary S. Coffman's Barbour Co.

Notes 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 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.

Notes John was said to be a shipbuilder from Lancashire, England. ******* When I first started researching my father's Wamsley family, I was just interested in finding a few generation so I could let my father know something about his father's family. I had no idea I would find so much information - from people willing to share and trade information. As a result, I did not start sourcing my information in the beginning. I have tried to go back and try to remember where I got the information; that has been kind of tough to do. So, whatever I put in this newletter is not necessarily information that I have researched. Much of it has been sent to me by many of you.....so thanks very much. (In other words, I was not trying to take credit for other people's information - I was just a very inexperienced family researcher!!) ******* Till next time, Wanda

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #6 Hello everyone! ******* Wanda -- Do you have the short bio of a John Alonzo GIBSON that is in Maxwell's History of Rand. Co.?

There is also a bio of his brother, Jasper Newton Gibson. If this is the right person (and I'm not sure -- see below) it looks like he was younger than Margaret -- b. 1854. Do I have S. Margaret's birth date wrong?? In Susan's W~W#2 message, she says Margaret was b. 1846, so she would have been 59 or so in 1905 when son Elisha died (he was 38). So if that's right, she must have m. Gibson much earlier -- maybe soon after George died. But (if this is the right John Alonzo) Maxwell says he and 1st wife had 7 children after 1877, and there was no mention of his wife being dead when the book was written in 1898. I'm confused -- it seems like something doesn't add up here! Mary Ann ******* Re: Wamsley~Web #4 -- I'm interested in Martha Valentine's Jacob SNYDER who m. Sarah F. WAMSLEY. I have his father as Frederick and grandfather as John. I'm wondering if these SNYDERS are connected to Henry SNIDER/SNYDER from Preston Co. (m. Mary BROWNING), who is in my husband's Randolph Co. BELL line. Children: Henry Jr.; Mary "Polly"; Jesse; John; Nimrod; Frances; Arsene (Cena); Elizabeth; Mary Jane b. 1784 m. James BELL; Lucille; Sarah; Caleb; Harmon. Does anybody have any information on this? Mary Ann Wamsley ******* Dear Wanda - At your suggestion following is a summary of all I know of my ancestor Jane Wamsley: Jane Wamsley, born 1783 PA, dau. of William Wamsley, a Rev. War soldier. She married (1st) John Neely (died War of 1812); had children (1) Elizabeth, (2) Lewis, (3) Polly. She married (2nd) --------- Lambert and had children (4) Nancy and (5) Lucinda. Her oldest daughter Elizabeth, my gggmother, (1809-1868) married Noah Lambert (1805-1852) a son of her mother's 2nd husband by a previous marriage. After the death of Jane's 2nd husband, she lived in Switzerland Co., IN (1860); and subsequently with her daughter Elizabeth in Cedar Co, IA where she died. I am interested in any information regarding this Wamsley family, particularly as to Jane's ancestry. Responses, if any, to this newsletter or to: hoytee@aol.com ******* I was just browsing the FamilyHart web site -- http://members.aol.com/familyhart/ -- and in their STURM section I stumbled across a couple of WAMSLEY names that are unfamiliar to me. They are: 1.) Celia R. WAMSLEY, b. 1 Jan 1816, Harrison Co.; d. 23 Aug. 1853, Harrison Co.; m. Felix STURM 10 May 1838. 2.) Madasonia WAMSLEY, b. 5 Mar 1824, Harrison Co.; d. 7 Jul 1872; m. Spencer W. STURM 26 Nov 1846 at Viropa, Harrison Co. Does anybody know these ladies?? Mary Ann Wamsley ******* Thanks, Wanda -- this is a good addition to my database. I know this is Paul Thompson's line, and I had David B. but no spouse or children for him. As for the Talbott problems -- it's a wonder to me that you even find the time and energy to do this at all!! I didn't even tackle this project until my children were far past the stage where yours are. Of course now I get distracted by worrying where my teenager is at midnight -- different ages, different problems! What did you mean about the "12-hour nights"? I was looking through my WAMSLEY file today, and I see quite a few puzzling things that should make items for the newsletter. I'll try to write up one now and then and send it along to you. I've just written a letter to a person in Louisiana who is from a Wamsley family that apparently originated in NY state (met his nephew here in Washington, and by coincidence his ex-neighbors go to my church). Don't know whether he has e-mail or not; if so, I'll try to get him to sign up for W~W -- it would be neat to get still another group involved. Hasn't Terra Carpenter chosen to participate? I was hoping we could find her people for her. Talk to you later -- Mary Ann ******* Wanda, My distant cousin Paul Frazier had a Gibson in his family. I've written him to explain about your Gibson (a little bit) and he may contact you ..I'm not sure what his dates and given names are. I'm so confused by all the Talbott,Gibson,Wamsley,Queen etc. surnames am not sure which way to go now. Since you and Mary Ann are working on some of the same names I may take a "leave" from it for a while..and get my head on straight. If I pick up anything that I think may help,I'll share & I"m here! at Juno!! Good luck Shirley ******* Hi! Just received your #5 newsletter. Great going you are getting lots of data for your newsletter. I don't see any on my line but perhaps in the future. My Charles Walmsley was born 13 April 1798 in Staffordshire, England. On his parents I really am hesitant to say. I don't have any records saying his parents name but I do have a notation that his mother was Elizabeth WALMSLOW. I haven't been able to get records on that just yet. >From family generations stories passed down it was told that this Charles Wamsley was sent to America about some disgrace in the family. So on siblings of Charles in England I do not know. Charles Wamsley, did however, marry in England as I have this from the Marriage Record #804, page 268, Parish of Leek, Stafford County, England Charles Wamsley, of the parish of Leek, weaver and Bachelor, and Sarah Malkin of same parish, spinster, weremarried in the church by Barnes, w/consent, on this 21 day of Oct 1824 by Thomas H. Heathcote, Vicar. The children: Ellen, christened April 8, 1929 Rachel, christened May 5, 1831, parish of Leek Mary, born Jan 7, 1835 Charles, born May 12, 1837, Town of Leek, Staffordshire Jeremiah, born 1840 In 1842, Sarah and 4 children came to America. The father, Charles, followed 2 years later in 1844 and settled in Cassville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Rachel died in those early years but I haven't found her death yet. Ellen, married EWER, HIGGINS and lived in Cassville and Nebraska Mary, married CARROW, McCORMICK, WELLS and lived in Cassville, Glen Haven, Kansas Charles, married, Brady and lived in Cassville, Potosi, Wisconsin Jeremiah, married and lived in Cassville, Wis area. This is most of the Wamsley background on my line. Do any other's have any Wisconsin links? Thank you. Mary Kane Durley ******* as you can see from mary jane leenstra's wonderful records, there is no data on isaac wamsley and his wife, leah stout taylor's oldest son, isaac, jr. this is our ancestor and have never found any data on him which forced me to do some research myself a couple of years ago. i accidently found a land purchase in indiana and pursued it in that respect. i did the best i could on isaac wamsley, jr.'s data. if there is anyone researching this line i would very much like to hear from them. isaac wamsley, jr. son of isaac wamsley, sr. and leah stout taylor was born about 1773 probably in nj. he may have married in nj or in ky on his way with his family to adams co., ohio. in the history books of adams co ohio he is referred to as "the wild man" because of lack of desire to stay in one place. he like to roam. isaac jr and his wife, rachel, travelled to franklin co indiana about 1813. the only time i found any reference to his wife was in a church record in indiana and only the name, rachel, was given. i have tried to put together a list of their children from marriage records in indiana: isaac, b. 1798 adams co ohio married elizabeth carson, 11 may 1819, moved to wabash county indiana 1840-50. leah, married jonathon stout. (i think when the family moved to indiana there may have been some stouts that went with them from adams co oh) 20 Jan 1821. christopher married charity gulick 27 sep 1826, moved to decatur co. indiana about 1840. william, married anna james 8 nov 1827, moved to decatur co indiana about 1840. thomas married isabel wilson 31 mar 1830. elizabeth married david caldwell 9 apr 1830. rachel married thomas e vanhorne 3 mar 1831. lawrence married malinda gant 9 apr 1840, married a sarah secondly, lawrence lived and died in franklin co indiana. was born about 1807 in adams co oh, d 1874 franklin co indiana. i found two unknown wamsleys in indiana, cornelius in owen co in 1830 and uriah in henderson co in 1830. children of isaac wamsley and elizabeth carson: mary b. 1820 married stephen craig 20 apr 1837, ( this is my ancestor, i have a picture of her) elizabeth b. 1822 married stephen jones 4 oct 1838. sarah b. 1825 married william riley howell 2 apr 1846. rachel b 1827 married william eads 31 july 1848, william b. 1828. lawrence b. 1829 married sarah boden 6 apr 1851. jane b. 1832 married jonathon briggs 6 jan 1848. female b. 1834. isaac v. born 1838 married elizabeth arnold 24 feb 1859. jasper b. 1840 d. 23 july 1866. rebecca b. 1842 married george washington byram 5 july 1863. jethro b. 1843 married elizabeth white 21 apr 1871. marriage records taken from franklin co and wabash co indiana. while looking through newspaper articles in franklin county indiana, i found the following: from the franklin democrat newspaper, 22 jan 1869: isaac wamsley who lived at one time in the vicinity of brookeville (franklin co indiana) was reported killed by indians on august 8, 1868, near prescott arizona territory..by letter received from isaac q dickson date dec 10 1869. the newspaper article was in search of relatives of isaac to inform them. isaac would have been around 70 years old. (this is the isaac who married elizabeth carson) there is a cemetery listing for him listing his date of death as 1868, so perhaps they brought his body home and buried him respectfully. ( anyone related to this family, please e- mail me, ykmjk@aol.com. corrections and/or additions will be much appreciated. yvonne) ******* Wanda -- I sent a note to Terra Wamsley Carpenter about the newsletter, and here is what she said: "I haven't had the time to pursue the Wamsley family tree. . . . My family originated in Randolph and Pocahantas Counties. They finally settled in Webster County, WV, which is were I grew up. My father, Amos Wamsley, passed away in 1992 so it is kind of hard to find the info." Since we already have the information that Terra gave us on her line, I thought it might be useful to include it in the newsletter to see if anyone knows these Wamsleys: FIRST GENERATION 1.

I am glad the site has been useful. While I am not directly researching the WAMSLEY line, I know it is one popular surname. I'd be happy to find a home for the material on-line if you'd like to share it with other WAMSLEY researchers. Thanks so much again, Debbie ******* i seem to have lost my wamsley newsletter #3? could you resend it to ChrisEyeC@aol.com thanks so much. also in inquiry.....does anyone know who has the william wamsley bible that lists margaret wamsley harper's birth....? she married an Adam Harper of Tucker co w va. I need a photocopy of that page and the dated bible page to prove positive her heritage. william served in the revolution but only listed son jonathan on his pension papers. thanks ******* Thanks again to all of you for your input. The little bit of information that I have could not possibly make up all of this newletter, so keep your e-mail coming in! Tom, in the Library of Virginia book of land grants, I found that John C. Wamsley acquired 25 acres of land in Randolph County on April 1, 1854. Could this be the John C. wamsley, brother of Mary? You wrote in newsletter #3 that he went with Mary and her husband Jacob Harper to Missouri. Dick Phares told us that John N. Wamsley, son of Jonathan Wamsley, was a soldier in the Union Army, American Civil War. He was the 2nd cousin of Captain Jacob See Wamsley, Cavalry, Confederate States of America. (Jacob was the uncle of George Fisher Wamsley, another Confederate soldier.) Debbie Malec, do you know who the parents of your Mary Wamsley were? I have a Mary Wamsley, daughter of John Wamsley and Abigail Smith. I have no husband listed for her: Descendants of Thomas Wamsley Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS1 WAMSLEY was born Abt 1680 in England. He married ELIZABETH TRAVERS. Child of Thomas Wamsley and Elizabeth Travers is: 2. i. JOHN2 WAMSLEY, b. Abt 1700, England; d. 1748, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Generation No. 2 2.

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #4 Once again, thanks again for your contributions! I could not possibly do this by myself with the information that I have alone. Please feel free to send anything no matter how big or how small. ******* Wanda, I'm interested; include me on the distribution. FYI, I have the Channell Family History document in Word format now but it does take up about 10meg of disk (pictures). Charles ******* Wansa: The Wamsley database on the ARFHS web site, mentioned in your last newsletter, is out of date and will probably be updated soon. Much data has been added since this was posted, including that of your own line. I will be glad to answer queries on the Wamsley and related families if I can. I have a lot of data on descendants of Jonathan Wamsley and Elizabeth Light that I haven't had time to record and hope to get most of it into the next update. Regards Dick Dick Phares-Huntsville, AL ******* Dear Ms. Balducci, Greetings! I got your email address from another Wamsley family member. It seems that many of us are on the 'Net. My name is Kathy Williams and I am a direct descendent of Isaac Wamsley, Sr. I heard that you are starting a Wamsleyweb newsletter and I would love to receive it. I began researching the Wamsley family history about a year ago. I would greatly appreciate any information you, or any other Wamsleys, might have on our family history. I am in the process of putting together a family history book for my siblings which includes family histories, recipes, tall tales, etc. I'm eager to hear about all of my other Wamsley kin. I am an English and composition instructor at Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. I was born in Adams County, Ohio. My parents and a brother live only three miles away from Wamsleyville, Ohio -- the old family homestead! Anyway, I am very eager to hear from you. Please respond to this note when you receive it so that I will know you got it. Our campus email system is susceptible to great glitches. Eagerly looking forward to "meeting" you and receiving the newsletter. Kathy Riley Williams 101 Morningside Drive Berea, KY 40403 606-986-9412 (my address and phone number may be printed in any newsletters, etc.) ******* The interesting items in the first two newsletters piqued my curiosity on several points: CROUCH 1. What is the source for the name "Mary" as wife of the earliest John Crouch? This is the first time I have seen a wife's name for him. 2. Does anyone know for sure the wife of the second John Crouch (Major John)? Maxwell's "History of Randolph County" says he married Judy WESTFALL. "William Currence the Pioneer," says it was Mary NELSON. Don Norman's "Westfall" report says Judith WESTFALL married <<either>> John or Andrew CROUCH. DORCUS What is the source for the name "Matthew" as the father of Judith DORCUS? This is also new information to me. KENTUCKY WAMSLEYS Jim Hamilton asked about some specific Wamsleys in Kentucky. I do not have any of those names in my database, but my notes show that we do have at least one family who migrated to KY: Thomas (1752-1866), s/o John WAMSLEY and Judith DORCUS, m. Margaret "Comfort" Ingram 1776. Children: Thomas m. Rebecca STEWART in Montgomery Co., KY; Elizabeth m. James ELLEDGE; John b. 1787 m. Sarah ______ in Montgomery Co., KY; and (daughter) WAMSLEY m. ______ RIGGS. Could there be a connection? JONATHAN WAMSLEY Thanks to Dick Phares for clearing up the confusion between the Jonathan Wamsleys. I had even seen a source claiming that Jonathan (husb. of Eliz. Light) was the s/o Matthew's brother, John Jr. ( I note that Dick's online database lists Wes Cochran's "Randolph Co. Marriages 1787-1923" as the source on Jonathan as s/o Matthew and Sally Currence Wamsley.) I have a followup question on the "black sheep" anecdote that Dick passed along about Jonathan s/o William and Susannah Watson Wamsley -- which of Jonathan's brothers-in-law was his "partner in crime"? I don't even have husbands listed for all of Jonathan's sisters. Or was it a brother of his wife, Hannah Newton? Apparently, Jonathan sought pensions for both his father, William, and his uncle James Wamsley. I don't know what happened about William's pension, but my notes say that James' was later suspended. ROBINSON Hal McCawley asks about the Robinson line (parents of John Wamsley Jr.'s wife Mary "Polly"). I recently found a source with several more generations of that line, plus some other WAMSLEY/ROBINSON marriages. It's at Sue Moore's web site (Sue is a member of the Hackers Creek Pioneer Descendants). Address is: http://dttwv01.org/sue/index.sht Just click on "Robinson" in the surname list and you will get a report. I downloaded a report titled "Cunninghams in 1992" which is where I found the Robinson information as a subset, but I assume the same names would be in the Robinson section. Thanks, everybody! Mary Ann Wamsley Arlington, VA Note: Mary Ann was one of the first Wamsleys I corresponded with online regarding Wamsley ancestry. Because of her, I have been able to find out a lot about my Wamsley relatives. Thank you! Wanda ******* I would like to receive the Wamsley~Web Newsletter. My name is Martha Snyder Valentine and I am related to the Wamsleys through Jacob Snyder and Sarah F. Wamsley. They were my great-great grandparents. John chandler Snyder was my great-grandfather and my grandfather was Andrew Floyd Snyder. I am a third cousin to Dick Phares. Dick has sent me the first two newsletters. By the way, I was born and raised and spent most of my life in West Virginia. I am now living in Athens, Ohio. Thanking you in advance. Martha Snyder Valentine I saw a picture of Sarah F. Wamsley on the Alleghany Family History Society site that someone has placed there. I believe that I found it under "search - Wamsley". You can try http://www.swcp.com/~dhickman/pictures/wamsley; however when I tried to get to the picture that way, I was not able to. -Wanda ******* Hi Wanda, Sorry to be late but just returned from 2 weeks vacation. I would be pleased to be listed on your mailing list. I note that you did not list the surname SEE. Best, Hal McCawley I have been searching for how the SEE family is connected to the WAMSLEY family in West Virginia. I feel like there must be some connection; Captain Jacob See Wamsley mentioned in the last newsletter may have been named after a member of the SEE family, but I have not been able to find the connection or why his parents, Samuel B. Wamsley and Elizabeth Crouch, would have named him SEE. -Wanda ******* Hi Wanda - As a Wamsley descendant I would be most interested in your proposed newsletter. I have very little data on my Wamsley ancestor however. Good Luck. Hoyt Harmon Hoyt, send us what you have and we will try to fill in and expand on what you have. (I started out with very little - the name of my grandfather and his parents, some of his brothers and sisters, and the fact that he was from Randolph, West Virginia.) -Wanda ******* Wanda: John N. Wamsley m. Eliza Yokum and son of Jonathan Wamsley and Elizabeth Light also served in the Civil War as a Union soldier. Martin Yokum had a picture of him in uniform mounted on his horse. Dick Phares Dick Phares-Huntsville, AL ******* Help Wanda, I accidentally deleted my copy of the WamsleyWeb Newsletter #1. Could you please send me another copy? Your newsletters are great.

Thank you, Sally Wamsley Burkholder Sally, when you get a chance, let us know who your Wamsley ancestors are! ********* Wanda -- I received this item from Debbie Malec and she has given me permission to forward it to you for use in the newsletter: I am looking for WAMSLEYs in PA around 1762. Here is what I have found thus far: FIRST GENERATION 1. Mary WAMSLEY. She was married to George PARSONS (son of William Jr. PARSONS and Martha HUGHES) on 28 Dec 1762 in PA. Mary WAMSLEY and George PARSONS had the following children: Charles Sr., Joseph & George PARSONS. Each of these sons named their son Charles. There is a Thomas WAMSLEY who shows up in some of the PARSONS documents there & other WAMSLEYS that I am looking at. ******* With the onset of the Civil War, 50 of Virginia's western counties voted to stay in the Union. West Virginia became a state in 1863. The West Virginia counties that were once a part of Virginia include: Barbour, Berkeley, Boone, Braxton, Brooke, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer, Greenbrier, Hampshire, Hancock, Hardy, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Logan, McDowell, Marion, Marshall, Mason, Mercer, Monongalia, Monroe, Morgan, Nicholas, Ohio, Pendleton, Pleasants, Pocahontas, Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane, Taylor, Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Wayne, Webster, Wetzel, Wirt, Wood, Wyoming ******* Internet: http://www.kalglo.com/germname.htm Date: Written 18 August 1995 Updated 6 June 1997 From: Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. 5507 Louise Lane Northampton PA 18067-9076 E-mail: kerchner@compuserve.com 18th Century Pennsylvania German Naming Customs 1. At baptism, if two given names were given to the child, the first given name was a spiritual, saint's name, originally developed from Roman Catholic tradition and continued by the Protestants in their baptismal naming customs. The second given name was the secular or call name, which is the name the person was known by, both within the family and to this rest of the world. The spiritual name, usually to honor a favorite saint, was usually repeatedly given to all the children of that family of the same sex. Thus the boys would be Johan Adam Kerchner, Johan George Kerchner, etc., or Philip Peter Kerchner, Philip Jacob Kerchner, etc. Girls would be named Anna Barbara Kerchner, Anna Margaret Kerchner, etc., or Maria Elizabeth Kerchner, Maria Catherine Kerchner, etc. But after baptism, these people would not be known as John, Philip, Anna, or Maria, respectively. They would instead be known by what we would think of now as their middle name, which was their secular name. Thus these people would be known respectively as Adam, George, Peter, Jacob, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Catherine in legal and secular records. For males, the saint's name Johan or John was particularly heavily used by many German families. The child's secular name was really John, if and only if, at baptism he was named only John, usually Johannes, with no second given name. Many researchers, new to German names, who find a baptism of an individual with a name such as Johan Adam Kerchner, thus mistakenly spend a lot of time looking for a John Kerchner, in legal and census records, when he was known after baptism, to the secular world, as Adam Kerchner. Also when reading county histories, etc., especially those written by individuals in the 20th century, and the author is referring to someone as John Kerchner, and you are not looking for a John Kerchner, but the history sounds otherwise familiar, further research may turn up that this person was really not a John Kerchner, but instead was someone else such as a Johan George Kerchner. You would thus find all his 18th century records recorded under the name George Kerchner and not John Kerchner and therefore after checking the data and correlating the facts you may find this is really a story about your missing George Kerchner. 2. The term "Senior" and "Junior" following a name did not necessarily imply a father and son relationship, as it does now. It could have been an uncle and nephew who had the same name and lived near each other. It could be a grandfather and a grandchild living together, where the father has died. It could even be two unrelated individuals with the same name but of different ages who lived near each other. So to help friends and business associates keep track of who-was-who in their discussions and records, they added on the "Sr." or "Jr." which merely meant the older and the younger, respectively. 3. The term cousin was widely used to mean an extended family, not the specific legal definition we understand it to be today. 4. It was a common practice in some German families to name the first born son after the child's paternal grandfather and the second born son after the maternal grandfather. Here are several more detailed naming patterns practiced by some families. Pattern A 1st son after the father's father 2nd son after the mother's father 3rd son after the father 4th son after the husband's father's father 5th son after the wife's father's father 6th son after the husband's mother's father 7th son after the wife's mother's father 1st daughter after the wife's mother 2nd daughter after the husband's mother 3rd daughter after the mother 4th daughter after the father's father's mother 5th daughter after the mother's father's mother 6th daughter after the father's mother's mother 7th daughter after the mother's mother's mother Pattern B The pattern B for the sons is the same as the above but this pattern for daughters was different 1st daughter after the father's mother 2nd daughter after the mother's mother 3rd daughter after the mother 4th daughter after the mother's father's mother 5th daughter after the father's father's mother Pattern C 1st son after the father's father 2nd son after the mother's father 3rd son after the father's oldest brother 4th son after the father 1st daughter after the father's mother 2nd daughter after the mother's mother 3rd daughter after the mother's oldest sister 4th daughter after the mother Whenever a duplicate name occurred in these patterns, the next name in the series was used. If a child died in infancy the name was often reused for the next child of the same gender. If you are lucky enough to find a family with a lot of children, who strictly followed one of these naming patterns, then it may give you useful clues to determining the possible names of family members in earlier generations. 5. An "in" or "en", added to the end of a name, such as Anna Maria Kerchnerin, is a Germanic language name ending suffix denoting that the person is female. Thus the correct spelling of the last name in the example would be Kerchner, not Kerchnerin. The family of Mary Harper, wife of Andrew Marcellus Harper, came from Germany. Their last name was originally Herber. Some of the Harper families loosely followed the German naming pattern. Good-bye and thanks! Till next time, Wanda

In 1861 he took his family to Virginia and left them near Lexington while he joined the army, soon becoming captain of Company D, 19th Va. Cavalry. He saw much active service. His company was mostly made up of men from Randolph and Pocahontas Counties. In civil life he was largely identified with public affairs; was six years president of the county court, and was a man of wide influence and of sterling worth, who was a leader among men and whose influence lives after him. On June 3, 1863, Major D. Boston Stewart's battalian repulsed Federal Calvalry at Daniel's Farm. Among the officers commended was Lt. Jacob S. Wamsley. Noah S. Channell Noah S.

(Molly) Crickard 1867. She was the daughter of John E. Crickard and Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Heater. "There is considerable documentation regarding Noah's military service. The first record is that he was a member of the 107 Regular Virginia Militia (Confederate States of America) in June 1859. Once the Civil War started, he enlisted on May 24, 1861 in Company F of the 31st Virginia Infantry. He was eventually captured on July 20, 1864 near Winchester, Virginia in the battle of Rutherford's Farm (also known as Stephenson Depot) by General Crooks' troops. He was transferred to Camp Chase Prisoner of War camp on July 28 where he remained until March 2, 1865. On that date he was transferred to City Point, Virginia for a prisoner exchange. Noah was a private the entire time he served." (Source: online records of Charles Channell) Note: a special "thankyou" to Charles for putting this information online for the rest of us to read. Henry M. Wamsley is taken from the records of Mary Jane Leenstra. She is decended from Wamsleys, but I have not been able to connect my West Virginia Wamsleys to her Wamsleys, mostly in Ohio. My Wamsley family goes back to Thomas, who came to America from England; Mary Jane's Wamsley family goes back to Issac, who came from Germany. Henry M. Wamsley Henry M. Wamsley, born October 14, 1840 in Adams County, Ohio; died December 31, 1862 in Murfreesboro, Rutherford, Tennessee. He was the son of William Wamsley and Eucebia Paige(?).

This information was sent to me by Mary Jane Leenstra. If anyone has anything to add to the Civil War history of our families, I for one would be very interested in reading it! - Wanda ******* Wanda, I would be glad to participate but I must warn you that my time in geneology has been limited as of late. I gather you are related to me through the Smiths. How are you related to the Zinn's? A first known reference to my GGrandfather was living with an Alphaeus Zinn in 1870 census. Alphaeus Zinn was an itinerant Baptist preacher and farmer in Barbour Cty. Have you ever heard of him and is there a relation to the Thompson Family that you know of? Thanks, Paul Thompson This is all I have. Maybe someone else has more: Descendants of A. W. Zinn A. W. ZINN. He married TAYLOR. Child of A. Zinn and Taylor is: TAYLOR B. ZINN. TAYLOR B. ZINN (A. W. ). He married REBECCA WAMSLEY, daughter of Martin Wamsley and Sarah Bell. Child of Taylor Zinn and Rebecca Wamsley is: TAYLOR ZINN. ******* interested in wamsley family. husband's ancestor was isaac wamsley, jr. son of isaac the german. seems like i find a lot on the other brothers, but nothing on him. would be glad to share in newsletter. sincerely, yvonne ******* boy, do i feel out of place. my wamsleys originated in germany. nj>ky>oh, adams county ohio. oh well! yvonne Note: This is for everyone of Wamsley decent. Who knows, we may be able to find a link between our two families one day! ******* I certainly do not have much to add to Wanda's rich genealogy. I will just add the plugs to our common ancestry. My gg grandmother was Mary Wamsley, b 12/22/1814. She married Jacob Harper, b. 9/16/1802, son of Henry and Elizabeth Mouse Harper. Henry and Elizabeth were born 9/26/1778 and 10/10/1778 respectively. Henry was the son of Jacob and Margaret Simmons Harper. My most immediate family was disconnected from our ancestrial home in Randolph Co. Jacob and Mary along with Mary's brother John moved to DeKalb Co. Missouri in 1839. Tom ******* Hi Wanda, This is all I have on Elisha Talbot(t).

WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #2 Any question or any other contribution is welcome!!! ------- Subj: Re: WAMSLEY family Date: 97-08-23 22:41:51 EDT From: dphares@traveller.com (Richard Phares) Wanda: I found one error in your data. You have Jonathan Wamsley, son of William, married to 1. Hannah Newton 2. Elizabeth Light. There are 2 Jonathan's. Jonathan, son of Matthew, is the one who married Elizabeth Light. This family remained in Randolph Co. Jonathan and Hannah fled to TX to escape prosecution after Jonathan and his brother-in-law were caught forging veteran's pension applications and as far as I know he never returned to WV. Regards Dick ------- I would like to know more about the marriage on the first line of Wm Robinson & Margaret Roach nee SEE. Let me hear from you. Best, Hal McCawley ------- Subj: Wamsleys Date: 97-09-12 01:15:00 EDT From: MAWamsley Wanda -- I was just browsing the Anne Arundel County website for the first time, thinking about placing a query, when I discovered that you have already done so. Great!! If you get any worthwhile responses, could you let me know? Thanks so much -- Mary Ann Note: Some of our Wamsley ancestors lived in Anne Arundel, Maryland. John Wamsley, Sr., son of John Wamsley and Abigail Smith of England, lived in Anne Arundel about the mid 1700's and married Judith Dorcus there in 1751. Does anyone have any information on the family during this time period? ------- Subj: Re: Wamsleys Date: 97-09-15 16:32:23 EDT From: MAWamsley Dick Phares was the first person I contacted on the internet genealogy forums about 3 years ago when I knew only the sketchiest information about my husband's Wamsleys. It was his research that really got me started on this in a big way. I guess you know that his Wamsley database is online at the ARFHS website -- I look at it from time to time for answers to specific questions. The ARFHS librarian, Madeline Crickard, says Phyllis Daniels of Beverly, West Virginia is the recognized expert on the family. Trouble was, when I talked to her, she had loaned all her Wamsley data to another researcher for a while and didn't have the resources on hand to look anything up. Note: You can get to the ARFHS site by searching under "Allegheny Regional Family History Society". For $20 a year, you can join and receive a quarterly newsletter. Membership also makes it possible to access information at the ARFHS site that is for members only. ------- Wanda -- It is really interesting to speculate about this Wamsley "migration". Since I started corresponding with Sandra Wamsley in CO, I have found information in my own database and from her notes and elsewhere about various Wamsleys, some of whom I can't identify, who went west from WV. I'll attach a key passage from one of her messages at the end of this one. I think there has to be a link between the ancestor she can't trace (William B.) and our Wamsleys, because our Daniel (Joseph's half brother) ended up out there with her people; his son married one of their Wamsley women. As I recall, one of Joseph's sons went, too, and possibly another Daniel (though I'm not sure if there were really two or if the information I have is misleading). I didn't remember (if I ever knew) about your George Fisher W. going to IN. It is certainly likely that there were other Wamsleys out there that they were joining. I'd really like to be able to help Sandra find the parents of her William B., but so far don't see the link -- do you?? Here's the info about Sandra's search: "I'm stuck with my husband's great-grandfather, William B. Wamsley, b. 09 June 1808 in "VA" per later census. Family tradition places him in WV. He married Catherine BRIDGEWATER 09 May 1839 in Orange Co. IN and appears there on the 1840 census - the earliest I have for him. They moved c1848 to Page Co. IA where William died 17 Dec. 1873. William and Caty had 9 children: Rhoda Jane Mildred Victoria? Lydia Ellen *Jeremiah Carter Wamsley Elvina L. Isaac M. Marthena Nancy Elizabeth Mary E. Jeremiah C. was Donald's grandfather, but if there's a significance to the CARTER name, I've yet to catch up with it. Most of the names are from the BRIDGEWATER family, or can be found there. Aunt Nan married G.M. Wamsley, probably the son b. c1832 of Daniel WAMSLEY and Ailcey CONRAD of Clarksburg, Harrison Co. WV, who also moved to Page Co. Daniel was born 1805, so it is tempting to think he was a brother to William B., but "their" side thinks not, and I simply do not know. I've found a Thomas Wamsley in Jackson Co, IN, born between 1800-1810 also, but do not have any further info on him. (He was on the 1840 census also.) Then there is a little article about a William Wamsley who moved his family to Hamilton Co. OH about 1815 from KY, having started in WV. The descendants of this William use the middle initial "B" a lot, but no idea if they're related. The timing is good, though, if this happened to be William B's father. Maybe you can put this little puzzle in your Wamsley newsletter! Mary Ann ------- My grandfather, Jasper Newton Wamsley, was born in 1873 during his parent's (George Fisher Wamsley and S. Margaret Talbott) move to Indiana (according to him). His oldest brother, Elisha T. Wamsley, was born in 1867, so there may have been 3 or 4 children older than Jasper living at the time of the move to Indiana. In 1878, he (age 5) and his family returned to West Virginia and settled in Huttonsville. I do not know the reason they returned. At least one child was born to George and Margaret after their return to West Virginia. George died in 1881 at the age of 36; I have not been able to find out why he died. Can anyone add any information to this? Thanks, Wanda ------- Subj: Wamsley info Date: 97-09-18 11:45:20 EDT From: MAWamsley Wanda -- One of my online friends (not a Wamsley researcher, but always looking out for info for me) just got a copy of the book "The Harts of Randolph County". She sent me names and dates of the Wamsleys mentioned in it. I could identify all but one -- a Hazel Wamsley. I have two Hazels, one of which has no spouse given, and she is in your line. Here is what Shirley sent me -- do you think this is your Hazel? The dates seem right: Pg 82: Guy Chase Rowan b. 1900 m. Hazel Pearl Wamsley Aaron (widow) Dec. 1925. at Beverly, WV. Div. no ch. Mary Ann ------- Subj: George Fisher Wamsley Date: 97-09-25 01:15:18 EDT From: MAWamsley Wanda -- Shirley Toohey, my online "buddy" in CA who is always looking out for WAMSLEY info, sent me this tonight. At first I didn't recognize the names, but then realized that the "George" is your George Fisher Wamsley. I haven't studied this well enough yet, along with my existing info on Talbotts, to tell whether this makes clear who Margaret's father is. I don't have parents listed for her in my database -- do you?? Shirley writes: "Found this from Barbour Co WV Book of Deeds 1853-1919 Will Books 1 & 1 1/2 1839-89 pg 246 (Will or deed pages 310-312) will dated 2/24/1876 probated 5/29/1880 Elisha Talbott Barbour Co, WV wife Sarah, sons Wm.

Talbott. witnesses E D Talbott wife 1000. and household goods, $400 to Josephine and rest equally divided to children." It looks to me like Josephine, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Angelina are all his daughters; he is naming Josephine separately (and probably giving her more) because she is not married. Does that make sense ? It's late! Would this make an item for the newsletter? Mary Ann ------- Wanda -- I'm so glad! I have quite a few Talbotts in my database, because they are connected to my Halls (my mother-in-law's line). But Shirley Toohey has a much greater interest in this family and should have more. I'll get back to her and see if she can help fill in the blanks in the info I have -- I am missing some pieces that would allow me to be certain where your Margaret fits. Will let you know what I find out. Mary Ann -------- I hope that something in here has given you all some new information. Till next time, Wanda

THE WAMSLEY~WEB NEWSLETTER #1 The purpose of starting this newsletter is for all of us who are researching Wamsley and related families to have one place where we can come together to compare notes, gather information, and hopefully have some of our questions answered.

Jim, I have an Edward Wamsley, son of Patrick Wamsley of Pennsylvania, with no link that I know of to my family. Maybe someone else can help you..... -Wanda ------------- Wonderful! Wonderful! The best news I've had for sometime. I've been trying to find Wamsley data for months and have yet to locate any data from the Staffordshire, England area. I must be doing something wrong or my family never told me the true facts. But your news is wonderful. I don't think I saw your email before or I would have pursued your Wamsley connection. My Wamsley's were from Stafford Co. Staffordshire England. But some of the siblings have noted Isle of Mann, Manchester and I don't know if others right now or not. But I had always heard the Staffordshire location. I will be eager to learn of your Wamsley surname. My Charles Wamsley married Sarah Malkin and I haven't been able to locate any birth or parent's names from her. Have you her on your list? You can locate me on email bdurley@pcii.net I am Mary Kane Durley Mary, I don't have any information to help you, but maybe someone else does. --Wanda ---------- Till next time, Wanda. And THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!!!
