Can someone please tell me if known if William Conrad and wife Roanna Murphy are buried in Gilmer County, West Virginia. William died September 25, 1861 in Allegheny County, Virginia. I have no information when Roanna died. Does anyone have a photograph of the tombstone that you could share with me if there is one at all.   Thank you.   John W. Pegg

Reason asking, we have been told that my great-grandmother - Minnie Dawson Pegley was "adopted" informally and that she was Cherokee. She was raised by Abraham Dawson and Hannah Jane Helmick Dawson. Her birth certificate lists them as her parents but when you look at photos of her and her three sisters there is a distant difference in appearance.

He was supposedly born in 1828. Do you know anything about Anna's first marriage to Benjamin Gainer in Gilmer County where he drowned (?) young. I keep hoping some family member will come up with a clue. Thanks in advance, Carolyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I couldn't find Samantha WORKMAN in Cabell Co., WV, or Lawrence County, OH - what are your sources for this statement? She does not appear on any censuses in either place. Vitals on Ruah: Born Ruah Catherine WORKMAN, born 1878-79, Nicholas County, WV, according to 1880 census & her marriage cert dated 1 March 1895, Lewis County. Her death certificate and tombstone said she was born 19 May 1876, but she was age one year old in 1880, so I believe that date is wrong. You don't mistake a 4 year old child with an infant! Her father was Benjamin WORKMAN, born April 1852, and her mother was Clarinda ADKINS, born 1861. Hope this helps? Laura Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

VA. As I mentioned he was a twin to my great grandfather Edwin. That would make my grandmother, Eva Pauline Waggoner Craft and your mother first cousins. Their parents were John Calhoun and Emma Cornelia Starcher Waggoner. His parents were Elijah Waggoner and Mary Straley. Elijah was the son of John Waggoner and Susanna Richards. John was the son of Wilhelm Waggoner and Agnesa ? who came to America and settled around Philadelphia. Hope this information is helpful to you, please let me know if I can help you more.
