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

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

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