Does anyone have any information on Zebulon Wamsley/Walmsley? Can you check your records, circa 1800-1810. Thanks. Nancy-Jo

I recently sent information to this list that was wrong. I had thought that the mother of my great-grandmother, Syrena Margaret Talbott, was Millie Stephens, the first wife of Elisha T. Talbott. The truth is that her mother was Elizabeth Minear, the second wife of Elisha T. Talbott. Thank you, cousin Nelda Riley, for correcting that for me! Margaret Talbott was the wife of George Fisher Wamsley. Wanda

John Wamsley of Pendleton had a son Thomas who was born in 1752, moved to Kentucky where he died in 1806. His wife was Comfort Ingram. He might have had a son William, we do not have a complete list of his family. Jean

Wanda -- In my file, I have a message posted by Patricia Dilley that gives the following list: Children of JESSE CHANNEL and ELEANOR WARE are: i. ALLEN BRADY6 CHANNEL, b. Abt. 1849. ii. MARY CHANNEL, b. Abt. 1850. iii. MARGARET ELIZABETH CHANNEL. iv. HIRAM W. CHANNEL. v. JESSE M. CHANNEL, d. December 25, 1856, Randolph Co VA. vi. JESSE W. CHANNEL, b. December 25, 1855, Randolph Co VA. vii. ANDREW E, CHANNEL. viii. JACOB C. CHANNEL. ix. RACHEL ANN CHANNEL This is confusing, since Jesse M. and Jesse W. are listed as dying on 25 Dec in consecutive years. Maybe they are the same person, with a discrepancy in the death date? And then you have Jesse, Sr. dying on 25 Dec one year later. I wonder if the death record you have is for one of Jesse's young sons? If someone has the book, maybe this will be clear -- or maybe the book has the Jesses confused. Mary Ann

JESSE CHANNELL, son of John C. and Elizabeth Wamsley Channell, was born Bet. 1826 - 1827 in Randolph County, Virginia (Source: Death Book 1, page 7, Randolph County, West Virginia.), and died 25 December 1857 in Randolph County, Virginia (Source: CHANNELL HERITAGE I, by Rose Channell Philips, published October 1983.). He married ELEANOR ELIZABETH WARE Bet. 29 April 1848 - 1849 in Randolph County, Virginia (Source: Marriage Book 2, page 22, Randolph County, West Virginia.). She was born about 1832 (Source: 1850 census, Randolph County, Virginia.), and died 18 December 1858 (Source: Film 464986, vital records of Randolph County, West Virginia.). In a previous e-mail, Jean S. Loudin stated that family tradition is that Jesse died during the Civil War but the information that I have above is different. Does anyone have the book Channell Heritage I to confirm that death date for Jesse? Wanda

My great-grandmother, Syrena Margaret Talbott Wamsley, daughter of Elisha and Millie Stephens Talbott and wife of George Fisher Wamsley was born in probably Barbour County, Virginia (later WVA). I have her birth year as 1846. In the Barbour County, West Virginia Cemetery burial register for Mt. Olive Cemetery, the Millie Talbott who I believe could have been Margaret's mother has her death date listed as 18 April 1843, age 41. Can anyone confirm that Margaret was born in 1846 and/or Millie who died in 1843 was her mother? Thanks, Wanda Wamsley Balducci, Chester, Virginia

I found a Rootsweb WorldConnect database ("MORRIS family", posted by Lawrence G. Brown <lgbown@lynks.com>) that includes an Amanda WAMSLEY (b. 1834) who married George Peter ZINN (1840 - 1926). George Peter's father, Henderson B. ZINN, was b. in Monongalia, and it looks like George Peter and Amanda must have lived in that area, because their first child was b. in Reedsville, Preston Co. Does anyone know who Amanda WAMSLEY's parents were? I have an Amanda, daughter of Joseph WAMSLEY and Sarah CONRAD, for whom I have no spouse. Is this the right Amanda? I know that Joseph did live in Preston Co. in the later part of his life. Also, one of the ZINN children is named Joseph H. Here is the data on the family as I found it on Rootsweb: Father: George Peter ZINN b. 21 Jan 1840 d. Dec 1926 Mother: Amanda WAMSLEY b. 27 May 1834 Married: 21 Oct 1860 Children: Martha E. ZINN b. 6 Dec 1861, Reedsville, Preston, WV Samuel M. ZINN b. 16 Mar 1864 Lenora ZINN b. 10 Feb 1866 Joseph H. ZINN b. 28 Mar 1868 Minerva A. ZINN b. 18 May 1870 Walter Gay ZINN b. 17 Apr 1875. Second marriage for George Peter ZINN -- Mary E. COBUN, 1 Sep 1892. Mary Ann Wamsley

Was John Lafayette Wamsley (b. 15 August 1847, d. after 1897) the son of Solomon Wamsley and Catherine Light or Solomon Wamsley and Elizabeth Stalnaker? It would appear that Solomon might have been married to two women at the same time - does anyone know? Wanda

Walter Therell Wilcox was born in Texas on 23 August 1930. His father was Cecil Taylor Wilcox and his mother was Angelme Hope Wamsley. Does anyone know who she was? Wanda

George Fisher Wamsley, buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery in Valley Bend, West Virginia, has a Southern Cross of Honor on his tombstone. This Cross of Honor was made by the Daughters of the Confederacy, and I have been told that Daughters made their first one in 1900. George died in 1881, so this may mean that his tombstone was not placed until 1900 or later. Does anyone know? Wanda Wamsley Balducci in Virginia

For any of you who did not get the notice, Eve Loeffelbein posted the obituary for Dick Phares on the Wamsley Family Web Site. (copied below) Dick Phares made it possible for me to know more about my West Virginia ancestors than I could have ever known without him. It always impressed me how generous he was with the family information he worked so hard on and spent so much of his own time researching. I will never forget him, and wish that I had been priviledged enough to meet him. Wanda The Obituary of Richard Phares Sr., By Eve Loeffelbein - Feb 7, 2001  We are lost one of our family memembers and one of the greatest genealogist that I have met.
