Sarah, Thank you for the names of the parents. > Robert Huse (md) Elizabeth Dempsey(this is the one I gave before) > Parents ;Thomas & n/a; , William & L A For anyone interested, Elizabeth's parents were William A. Dempsey and Sarah Ann Wood. The L A listed should be S A, a mistake often made when transcribing. Cathy

Hi, Cathy: I think we're on to something here. I did indeed have Nicholas Co. marriage records (although the list I found is not the one I was looking for; I'll keep looking for the other list, which I think lists parents. This one only gives date, groom and bride.) In Nicholas Co. I found: September 29 1829: Thomas Hughes to Elizabeth Patterson And there is also: December 25 1828: Francis Hughes to Phebe Jones What I found interesting is looking in the 1850 Fayette Census. There I find Francis T. and Phebe Hughes. They have children: Sarah, Thomas, Robert, L. L., F. M., and James. (But don't get excited, this is not your Robert, I don't think, but read on...) Coming into 1870, Falls of Kanawha, Household #121, I find Francis T. and Phebe's son Robert is Robert J. Hughes. (In fact, he is the one listed in the 1880 census married to Christiana; he was already married to her in 1870 and they were living with his parents.) Now, of course, this is not your Robert J. Hughes, as he and Elizabeth Dempsey have their own household (#220). What I find interesting is that Francis had sons named Robert J. and Thomas. My thought is that this family came out of Nicholas Co. together, or were living in the part of Nicholas Co. that became part of Fayette Co. in 1831, and that perhaps Francis T. Hughes and Thomas Hughes are related, perhaps brothers. This would make both Robert J. Hughes first cousins. Another interesting thing: all these Hughes do not appear in the 1860 Fayette Census. Where did they go? (Hopefully, the entire family wasn't missed!) Anyway, my oldest son has a baseball game this morning. I'll take a closer look at these Nicholas marriage records and Fayette census records, and see what else might pop out. Best wishes, June

Hello list, Can someone please enlighten me as to why the worst train accident in Fayette County history has not as much as a mention on the website or a roadside marker at least at the mouth of the hollow. My great grandfather was one of the casualties, (and I even have a picture of the train after the mishap) I am sure that anyone who is from the Deepwater area has heard of this. If the proprietors of the list would like I could scan the picture and the list of the men involved and send them to be published on the site. I would really like to extend my deepest gratitude to whomever created the slate marker near the site. Mike McMillion(McMillian)

Hi, Sarah: Yes, Harlow and Thomas R.B. Huse are of the Seth Huse family over in Fayetteville. There is a rather detailed write-up on this family in the 1993 History of Fayette Co. This is really about all I know of that family.

Sarah, Seems to be a discrepancy here concerning the date of marriage. Sherranlynn says: Turner, Fayette County, West Virginia Marriages-1866-1889-Turner, Page 160, 21 Jan 1887, Geo. W. Kincaid 26 b. Fayette and Sarah Martha Hughes 15 b. Fayette. while you list "June" as the month. Anyway Sarah would have been born ca. 1872 and not 1854. Further, Robert Huse that married Elizabeth DEMPSEY (md) April 8, 1868, he was 33 & she was 21: I didn't have an age for Robert and this does fit the age listed in 1870 census. Thank you. With census information already posted for Robert and Elizabeth Rachel I assume that Robert was a widower with 2 children in 1868. Anyone know who the first wife was?

June and Sherranlynn, June, thank you for the 1870 census listing. Sherranlynn, I also received the following privately: The 1880 Fayette County Census shows: F003 Hughes, Robin (Robert according to Geraldine) 41 farmer Rachel E(lizabeth) 31 wife William F 11 son Sarah M 8 dau Nancy 5 dau James E 1 son So we have Sarah M. Hughes born ca. 1872 (1880 census) and Sarah Martha Hughes born ca. 1872 (marriage 1887 age 15). Could be a match.

Hi, Cathy: I noted this also, so looked in the 1860 census for Robert and a previous wife. There is no listing for a Robert Hughes. I only found John Hews (b. 1835), Polly Hews (b. 1790), and the family of Seth Huse over in Fayetteville. I also looked in the marriage records. No previous marriage recorded in Fayette Co. I did note, however, in his marriage record Elizabeth Dempsey, Robert gave his place of birth as Nicholas Co. Perhaps this is where his previous marriage occurred. I checked death records for a wife of Robert Hughes dying sometime between 1864 (the birth of son John M.) and 1868 (marriage to Elizabeth). Perhaps his wife died in Nicholas Co., or the death not recorded. I also checked the marriage records for marriages of Robert's oldest sons George and John M., hoping it would list where they were born. I found no record. I also could not find a record of their deaths. (Not surprising for this era in Fayette Co., unfortunately. sigh.)

Sherranlynn, I don't have census info for this family. If someone would be so kind as to lookup Robert Huse/Hughes in 1870 and 1880, we might be able to see if the child Sarah M. was the same age as Sarah Martha Hughes who married George Washington Kincaid. I'm afraid all I have on this family is the marriage info and names of some of the children. I got the names of the children from Lyle's site but that is all that was listed.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions! I've found some Berrys in earlier censuses so that's a great idea to compare districts- it's possible that "Hays" Berry is just a nickname and I've been looking at him the whole time as a different name. I still have to send for marriage info for Howard Berry and Myrtle Hall- that should give me a lead too. Thanks again!

Cathy, The marriage book that I have says that the Sarah Martha Hughes that married George W. Kincaid was 15 yrs. old at the time of her marriage and they were married in June 21, 1887 , so she would have been born about 1854. Also there is Robert Huse that married Elizabeth DEMPSEY (md) April 8, 1868 , he was 33 & she was 21.

Janet; There are a couple of things that you could do that I know of. One is to order the 1920 Census film from your local LDS Genealogical Library by the county that you need. The other thing is to order a Soundex on your BERRY's for the entire state, which would give you an idea what counties they frequented. There again, they would have this information at the Library. Also too, don't forget to look at tax lists and land purchases. Good Luck to you.

Could the child Sarah M. be Sarah Martha Hughes who mar. George Washington Kincaid? (This may be my father?)

Is there an index available for the 1920 census for Fayette Co? If so, how could I get a lookup from it? I am trying to search the 1920 census through ancestry.com's images online for my husband's BERRY family. It is s-l-o-w going without even knowing what district to start in! I found his SAWYERS relations in the Quinnemont (sp?) district purely by accidental chance, but they link to his HARRAH side, not his BERRY line. I am looking for Howard Ephraim Berry (changed his name to Howard J. Berry himself- not legally) son of Hays BERRY and Ollie BENNETT. Hays was supposed to have been born about 1879.
