Hey David, I created WestVirginia-genealogy at GIO on 1/14 to preserve the option to create subgroups. Might we collaborate since your group doesn't allow subgroups?

Hello Whitby WV folks- I started to list the graves at Halstead Cemetery at a web site below: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2401650&CScn=Halstead+Cemetery&CScntry=4&CSst=52&CScnty=3104& As many of the graves there are unmarked, I wanted to ask all of you, if you could tell me who else is buried at the Halstead Cemetery. I do of course maintain the Whitby WV Memorial page and with its 500+ names, I was only able to verify 5 people on the list as being buried at the Halstead Cemetery. I have literally physically visited the site. ANY help you could think of, would be greatly appreciated.

I am fairly new to this list and have recently posted information for my John Cunningham who was possibly born in Frederick County about 1774. It would help me greatly to have a copy of the Appraisal of his father, also John Cunningham who died, in 1801. His will is in Will Book 6. The Administration/Appraisal is in Will book 7 on pages 224-226. I have seen abstracts of both here: http://books.google.com/books?id=-wNf6WjNbScC <http://books.google.com/books?id=-wNf6WjNbScC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Freder ick+County,+Virginia+Wills+%26+Administrations+1795-1816%E2%80%9D+Compiled+B y:+M.+N.+Kangas+%26+D.+E.+Payne+1983&source=bl&ots=Y5M-KGar7P&sig=7GcsiJl6a7 BsilQyQo8hITipYIE&hl=en&ei=zZOCTaP9AsS_tgfMoLnGBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=res ult&resnum=6&ved=0CDgQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=John%20Cunningham%20&f=false> &printsec=frontcover&dq=Frederick+County,+Virginia+Wills+%26+Administrations +1795-1816%E2%80%9D+Compiled+By:+M.+N.+Kangas+%26+D.+E.+Payne+1983&source=bl &ots=Y5M-KGar7P&sig=7GcsiJl6a7BsilQyQo8hITipYIE&hl=en&ei=zZOCTaP9AsS_tgfMoLn GBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDgQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=John% 20Cunningham%20&f=false Seeing the actual Appraisal will help me know if son John is my ancestor. If someone could do a lookup for me I will be happy to pay any reasonable copying, scanning, emailing, or postage fees. Thanks, Sue Russell
I am searching for my ancestor, John Cunningham who married Sarah (Sally) Hickman in Franklin County, KY in 1799. I have never been able to find his parents, but I got this very intriguing lead from a fellow Cunningham seeker. This John was born in Frederick Co., VA in 1770's to Thomas Cunningham and Elizabeth Unknown. Biography: John Cunningham John Cunningham left home soon after he was grown and possibly before the death of his father. It is said that he went to Green Briar County, and most likely pushed on farther west with the tide of emigration, but as he was never heard from further by his family, it was supposed by them that he was either killed by the Indians or died of sickness. Copied from page 11 of The Scott Cunningham Family Record Book. When my John was in Kentucky he was a Baptist. If this is my John Cunningham he would have been a young man, probably without much money, and would have only stayed a short while. If anyone can give me any information about this John Cunningham or any research hints it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sue Russell

I am trying to figure out who the Rebecca Meadows on this marriage records is the daughter of. J.A. Todd is John A. todd and i know who his parents are but not hers. Says she was born in 1858 in greenbrier Co., but at the time of marriage was in summers co.,. Her and John are in the 1880 census together but by 1900 john is living in washington with a different wife named Mary. In the 1910 census It says John and Mary wed in 1882 with this being John's second marriage. So Rebecca meadows either passed away or divorced John Todd bet 1880-1882. If anyone can help me figure out who she descends from id aprreciate it.

Born on October 9, 1926, at Beckley, on Locust Street, and at three weeks old the family moved to Whitby, where he lived until the age of 43. He built their new home on Racetrack Road in Coal City, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a born again Christian and loved to hunt, fish, and garden. Mr. Saye was a retired coal miner from Sterling Smokeless Coal Company with 35 years of service. He was a member of the UMWA, and was of the Methodist faith. Mr. Saye was a U.S. Army Veteran, serving in WWII from 1943 until 1947. Mr. Saye was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Fulton Saye Sr., and Freida O’Keith Bourne Saye, and by a sister, Dorothy White. Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Eva Eldreth Saye, “the love of his life.” His children: Gary Saye and his wife Marsha of Coal City, Ricky Saye and his wife Marsha of Coal City, and Sandy Sawyers of Cincinnati, Ohio; six grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild on the way.

My mom was born in Bergoo, WV. I don't know how it got its name, but in Lawrenceburg, KY, they have a Bergoo Festival every year and burgoo is a soup where they throw anything at hand into the pot - at least that was the origins of it. I am sure they use a recipe for the festival. Sort of like my dad making soup friday night from what ever was left over from the week. > From: wv-southern-request@rootsweb.com > Subject: WV-SOUTHERN Digest, Vol 5, Issue 9 > To: wv-southern@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 01:01:58 -0600 > > > _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
