FYI Hope it helps. Linda QUOTES FROM A CONVERSATION BETWEEN COUSINS Over the past few months it has been a great pleasure for me to get to know two new second cousins, Rosamund Ball and her brother James Lewis Ball, who are both terrific genealogists. We share a set of great grandparents, Isaac and Mary Perdilla (Garee) Boggs. Rosamund and Lewis also descend from James Martin Boggs and Margaret Anne (Byrne) Boggs. They have graciously donated a collection of family histories for the use of Hacker’s Creek Pioneer Descendants. This collection has something for almost everyone researching in Central West Virginia. The Ball Family 1 disk The Smith Family 2 disks Four notebooks 1 The Boggs Family 49 generation charts going back several centuries 2 Descendants of John Livingston (Boggs) 13 generations from the 1600s Also Ancestors of Margaret Anne Byrne 24 generations plus index 3 Descendants of George Cutlip and Susannah 77 pages plus index 4 Descendants of John Jarvis and Hanna Hill 9 generations plus index (Look in this for the real Mammy Jane from the book) “I recognize the effort that went into this and appreciate greatly both of you sharing” “Linda, the material is to be shared freely with anyone in the Family who is interested in it. It is not to be sold, published for monitary gain, or credited as the work of someone other than Lewis or myself.” “This research was done simply to share. Both Lewis and I fully appreciate the contribution our ancestors made to not only West Virginia but also to what is now known as the United States of America. Our family, on all sides, has made a rich contribution to America’s history….and we’d like to acknowledge it and share it with others.” ___________________________________________________ HACKER’S CREEK PIONEER DESCENDANTS AND CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA GENEALOGY AND HISTORY LIBRARY P.
