    1. [WVFAYETT] Harrah Info Needed
    2. Becky
    3. Hello List, I am seeking information on the Harrah line of Fayette County. In particular the family of Matthew K. Harrah's line. Matthew K. Harrah born abt. 1826 Greenbrier Co. his son Thomas A. Harrow born abt. 1851 married Fanny Coleman They had William Egbert Harrah born 1878 Fayette County. Fanny Coleman died and her sister Sarah Coleman who was married to William Clement Potter raised Egbert. I am not sure when Thomas died or where he is buried. There is a grave on my cousins farm which belongs to a Harrah . We are trying to find the name of this Harrah in order to place a marker on the grave. Does anyone have any info on this family line? It would be a shame to just place Harrah on the stone. Perhaps someone is searching for this lost grave and could possibly help us. Thanks for your time and help. Becky
