Hello fellow listers I am still searching for information on the Wilcox family of West Virginia. W. C. Wilcox was married to Olive NIcholas sometime in the early 1900's. They produced at leant one son Roger Lyle Wilcox who was born in Ohio prior to Ohio keeping records (sometime before 1908). Roger Lyle Wilcox either is or was my uncle. I am working with his daughter Billie "Diane" to find her roots. Any information greatly appreciated Roger LIndholm

I am looking for descendants of any of these people. Isaac and Kate were my great grandparents and their daughter Bertha Ann was my grandmother. After filling out a chart for Isaac's father, Elijah SKDMORE, and coming up with 80 descendants through just my mother's generation, I figured someone online might be connected to me. Bertha alone had 15 grandchildren to add to this list and many of them now have childen of their own. I'd just like to find some cousins who can fill in the blanks for the other children. Isaac ìRed Ikeî Demos(s) SKIDMORE b.April 18,1856 in Braxton Co.(W)VA; d.September 17, 1940, Braxton Co.WV + Julia Catherine ìKateî BROWNING d/o JohnWesley BROWNING and Mary Christiana SHUMAKER on December 6, 1883 in Braxton Co.

Tina, I used the search option on the Mineral County Page and do see Eli and Peter Davis on some of the Census Indexes. (Mineral County was formed from Hampshire Co in 1866). You might try there and see if anything connects for you.

Dear listers: Does anyone have an Eli Davis who had a son named Peter Davis? I have no information on the two of these men, other than Peter married a Sarah FRDDLE. I do know that they came from somewhere in Virginia--possibly Hampshire County or close. Peter Davis had a son named William Peter Davis, born abt. 1817 in Virginia. He married Sarah (surname unknown). We never found a record of their marriage. William was a "waggoner" or maybe a teamster and may have met Sarah outside of Hampshire County. Sarah was born abt. 1827. They were married abt. 1849 in Hampshire County. At least two of their daughters, gave Ohio, as place of birth on later census. And, "Wood Co." (Va?) on marriage license. We were unable to locate any info in either Wood Co., Va or Wood, Co. Ohio. William and Sarah are not on the 1850 census of Hampshire Co. so we know he was either missed when census was taken or living elsewhere. Children of William Peter Davis and Sarah are: Mary Catherine Davis b. abt 1850; died 27 November 1877. Married Henry Clay Jackson. Robert P. Davis b. abt. February 1854 (1900 census) Married (1) Virginia Adkins (2) Laura Shelly. Virginia Davis b. abt February 1854. She and Robert were twins. Married Charles Henry Smith. Margaret E. Davis b. abt. 1857; died 9 June, 1884. Married Stephen Orndorff. Sarah V. Davis b. abt. 1858. She was on 1860 census. No further information. Anna Elizabeth Davis b. abt. March 1859(???) In the 1900 census, she gave March 1860, same year James Henry was born! Married Luther Carder/Robinson. (This is my line--have children of this marriage on down to me) James Henry Davis b. 9 May 1860: died 4 September 1902, Hendricks Tucker Co., WV. We have his date of birth from "notes" taken a from family bible (from another family member), as well as his obituary. James Henry married Flora E. Paxton. John William Davis b. abt. 1863: died 8 June 1900. Married Bridget Dorsey. Ida Belle Davis b. abt. 1865. Married George D. Peters. Jackson W. Davis b. 25 January, 1869 (Hamp. Co. birth record). Married Katie Cramer. Minnie May Davis b. 10 August 1872 (Hamp. Co. birth record); died unmarried 29 November, 1891. Can anyone connect? Tina

Kinda of a VANCE round-up for sharing information. He has several stories about Abner Vance and Susannah Howard, several versions of Abner Vance's *Song* and other interesting info. Along with his own lineage info from Abner. (see the links at bottom of page) Thought some of you might be interested in taking a look. If you have Vance Homepages of your own, he also invites you to set up a link to the site. Gloria [email protected]

John, She was born as Orpha B. Taylor. But I do not dismiss the possibility that she could have been married before she married Charles Turner....In fact, everything is sort of leading to that. So far no marriage record of Orpha B. Taylor to Charles Turner can be found...this tells me that she may have been married before and married again using her first married name instead of her maiden name of Taylor.

In your e-mail you mentioned an Orpha B. Taylor. Was this her nee or was this a first marriage name? I have an Orpha Phillips in Baltimore MD. and since Orpha is such a seldom heard name I thought I would ask. John at [email protected]

Looking for a Charles Turner family after 1917, in Wierton. Orpha B. Taylor apparently married Charles Turner sometime after 1910 and before 1917. The exact location of the marriage is undetermined but could have been ILL or Ohio. They were living in Cleveland in 1917, this is according to the obit of Orpha Taylor's mother, Mary Taylor. Orpha had a brother, William Taylor, who died about 1922 in either Brooke or Hancock Co. in the town of Wierton. His obit states that he was visiting relatives. Were Orpha Taylor and her husband Charles Turner living there at the time???? For the life of me I can not figure out which relatives would have been in Wierton. I can pretty much account for William's siblings except Orpha. Anyone know of any Taylor's or Turner's in Wierton area in early 1920's??
