I am looking for twin girls name Rachel and Rochelle. Their mother was Priscilla Garrett and she was Madison, Boone County, WV. Priscilla's parents were Ted and Gladys Garrett. Before being married, Priscilla had these twin daughters by a Randy McClure from Lincoln County, WV. She later married a man by the name of Foster and the girls supposedly took his name also. The last time the family of the biological father heard from these girls, they were supposedly living around Atlanta, Georgia. And Rochelle may have been married about this time. I have been asked by the family of their biological father, to try and find them online with just a message. If you know of either of these girls, please contact me. Mutroberts@yahoo.com

I am looking for anyone who is related to Jesse K Doss in Boone County. He married a widow Mary Swallow Barker in 1869. If any one is researching the Doss line and can help me I will very grateful. Jesse was my gggreatgrandfather. His daughter Corrine by his first wife Sarah Ann Bullock was my greatgrandmother.

Your Julina is buried in the Mick Long Cemetery on the Left Hand Fork of Foster Hollow. It's near the head of the hollow, on a hill facing a white house with a long front porch. The cemetery has 4 pine or cedar trees in it. Don't know if William Henry is buried here but there are 3 graves with no data so one of them could be him. There are 6 graves with only 3 identified: John "Jack" Long, his wife Frances Pauline and Julina. I've been told there is a mine near this cemetery and there may be a gate across the access road.

Have not participated in many years but know they meet about once a month. You might ask the Coal Valley News for whom to contact. If Janet Hager is still around she would know. Try CVN at Madison. It's not my family's paper anymore, but it's still going strong. Nancy Pat Jones Bacon
