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.

Maybe someone else knows more about those Wamsleys who went to Montana ......Wanda +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Wanda, I saw your query in W. Virginia on the William Wamsley Family, actually I don't have much on this son of John Wamsley. Other then what you wrote, plus their marriage date of 25 Aug 1782. I just had the one dau, Margaret 4 feb 1785 m Adam Harper. Could you give me the birth dates of the other children. The reason that I am interested in the Wamsley's is they were closely connected to the Wood Family, my main interest is a Peter Wood, and the Robinsons at Harrison Co, WV. My John & Joseph Wood came from Hardy Co, Va (WV) to Harrison Co in about 1785. the children m Fleming, Wood, Robinson, Wamsley, they all lived on the Crick near Shinnville. Have you any Wood marriages in your research on Wamsley Sincerely, Larry Phalin >> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following are any Wamsleys who ended up in Iowa.
