Since several people have been interested, I am posting to the list the pages I scanned about George family. Carol History Of Summers County West Virginia James H. Miller; 1908 pages 516-518 GEORGE Thomas George was one of the early settlers in the Meadows of Greenbrier County, near the Summers line; was of Scotch-Irish descent and an orphan, having been raised by his uncle, Thomas Moore. He came originally from the county of Rappahannock, in Virginia, in the Valley of Virginia. He had one. brother and several sisters. The sisters all married and settled in the West. The brother of Thomas was older, and by the old laws, under the English customs, the older son inherited the estate. This brother is understood to have settled in Missouri. Thomas married Catharine McCoy, and raised twelve children, all of whom lived to maturity and to old age, three boys and nine girls. Sallie married John Gwinn, who settled in the Little Meadows. Jane married Enos Huffman, and lived on Muddy Creek. Betsy married Jacob Surbaugh, and lived in the Grassy Meadows. Mary married a Shaver, and lived in Nicholas County. Cynthia married a Frazier, and moved to Ironton, Ohio. Elize married a McCrary. and settled in Lewis County. Catharine married Daniel Sumner, and also resides in Lewis County. Malinda married a Boggess, and lived in Fayette County. Margaret married Harry P. Miller, a son of John Miller, who moved to Gentry County, Missouri. The boys were William, who settled on Muddy Creek, and whose wife was Ruth Conner. The other sons were John and Thomas Lewis, who had one son, John Frazier George, who resided for a number of years at the old place near McIlhenny Chapel, in the Grassy Meadows; thence removed to Hinton, and later to Orange County, Virginia, in which county he now resides. The girls were Emily, who married James H. Bledsoe, the mother of Randolph and James Owen Bledsoe, now citizens of Hinton, and Champion Bledsoe, of the Meadows, and Miss Sallie. Another daughter, Virginia. married James W. Alderson, who now lives at Foss, in this county, and the other daughter, Miss Alice, married John L. Duncan, who lives at Oak Hill, in Fayette County. John George was the father of eleven children - eight girls and three boys. Martha married a Curry; Elizabeth married Peter Maddy; Sarah married Marion Gwinn; Marv married a McClung; Cynthia married Pharas Harrah, and Virginia, who married Hill Nickell, now lives in Colorado. The sons were John A. George, who married Elizabeth Benson Miller, daughter of Captain A. A. Miller, and who owns the A. A. Miller plantation. He was married in 1868. He was a brave soldier in the Confederate Army through the Civil War, was a member of Edgar's Battalion, is a Presbyterian and a Democrat. William V. George, another son of John. died in Texas. Thomas A. George married Miss Mary Hinchman, a granddaughter of the English settler, William Hinchman, of near Lowell. He settled on and became the owner of the Robert Miller farm of several hundred acres on Lick Creek near Green Sulphur Springs at the close of the war, and lives there to this day. His children are James H. George, cashier of the Bank of Wyoming, who was sheriff of Summers County for four years, from January 1, 1897, to December 31, 1900; and John L. George, who resides with his father on Lick Creek; Miss Minnie, who married Dr. Edgar E. Noel, and Miss Nina, who married Sam McClung; and Ella. Thomas A. George entered the Confederate Army in 1863, and on the 7th day of October, 1863, was captured by the Federal soldiers under Blazer while returning and near his home on a furlough. He was carried to Fayetteville and placed in jail; from thence taken to Charleston; thence to Wheeling; thence to Camp Chase, where he remained for three months; thence to Rock Island, Illinois, where he was detained eighteen months, and released in July, 1865. He was married to Miss Mary Symms Hinchman August 31, 1865. He is one of the leading citizens of Summers County, engaged in farming and stock dealing. Dr. P. A. George, of Ronceverte; Arthur George. of Hinton; Miss Norma, of Colorado, are children of John A. George. The Georges are among the most substantial citizens and the oldest settlers of this region, and their descendants are scattered over many States. Another son of Thomas A. George was Rev. Wm. George, an accomplished Presbyterian minister, who went West, and in early manhood died from pneumonia. He was a graduate of Hampton Sydney College, with bright prospects for the future. Margaret Miller, daughter of Robert Miller, the senior, married Alex. McClung, who settled in Missouri. He is one of the main supports of the Presbyterian Church, and a Democrat in politics. John George, the father of Thomas A., was killed by a horse kicking him, in the barn on the George place on Lick Creek while on a visit to that place. These Georges are descendants on their mother's side of Robert Miller, a half brother of John Miller, Sr., who settled on Lick Creek where T. A. George now resides. He was the owner of three slaves before the war, and built a large hewed two-story log house on the site where the modern frame residence now stands. The wife of Robert Miller was born in Philadelphia, Penn. They left at their death eight children, four boys, William, who died at an old age in the Meadows at the foot of Sewell Mountain. Before removing to the Meadows he owned the Goddard and Dean farms on top of the mountain near Elton, and formerly known as the Sampson-Zickafoose place. The other sons were John and Alexander, who never married, and lived and died on the old farm where Thomas A. George now lives. They were large land owners and enterprising men, and operated an ancient mercantile establishment on the site of the present Gwinn, Flint & Co. establishment. They at times owned large tracts of wild lands on Keeney's Knob, Chestnut Mountain. War Ridge, and in Fayette County, and were wealthy men in their day. They were both buried in the Miller graveyard on the old John Miller, Sr., farm. Of the other son. whose name was Robert, we have no history, as he emigrated West and was lost sight of. He was understood to have settled in Missouri. The four girls of Robert Miller were Polly, Betsy, Jean and Margaret. Jean married John Alexander, of Monroe County; Mary married Thomas Ferry and settled in Missouri. Betsy married Grigsby Lewis, of the Meadows, and Margaret married John George. There was another daughter of John George, Sr., Louisa, who married James Houston Miller, who removed to Texas, and she died there.

Here is a response which I got back on the Sizemore Indian Mystery. She sent an attachment with more info about the family. If anyone wants it, I will send it off list to you. Very interesting information. This connects to the Walkers who connect to the Legg family, and further back to the Vincent family of Greenbrier Co. Pearl B. Walker lists in my FTW as a 5th cuz 1x removed of my husband. Hope this is interesting to you. It is Walker info that I did not have updated on my machine, as yet. Does anyone have Bertha Cavender's b and d. and parents? I have quite a few Cavenders in my husband's Vincent lines. See below.

>From West Wirginia Legislative Hand Book and Manual - 1917 THURMOND, JOSEPH SAMUEL (Democrat). Speaker of the House of Delegates. Address: Alderson, West Va. Was born May 9, 1855, and reared on a farm in Fayette county, West Virginia. He received his early education in the common schools of that county, and later at Shelton College, Saint Albans, under the tutorage of Dr. P. B. Reynolds. Numbered among his schoolmates are Dr. George B. Foster, of the University of Chicago; Hon. James H. Stewart, present Commissioner of Agriculture of this State; Senator William E. and Hon. Joseph Chilton, and Rev. John McCutcheon, former Baptist pastor of Morgan- town, West Virginia. Leaving school he taught in the public schools of Fayette county for several years. He was a member of the Board of Examiners. After- wards he engaged in the practice of civil engineering and farming, and still later in coal mining and banking. Mr. Thurmond was the first Mayor of Thurmond and was continued in that office for seven years, or until he moved to Greenbrier county in 1910. He was elected to the West Virginia Legislature as a delegate from Greenbrier county in 1914; re-elected in 1916 and in 1917 was made Speaker of the House of Delegates. His home is at Alderson, Greenbrier county, where he owns and successfully manages a farm. Mr. Thurmond has always been an uncompromising Democrat.

>From West Wirginia Legislative Hand Book and Manual - 1917 L. JUDSON WILLIAMS (Republican), was born in Greenbrier county, October 18, 1856. His ancestors were pioneers of that county. He was educated in the common schools and the West Virginia University, and took his law course in the University of Virginia. After spending some time in teaching, he was ad- mitted to the bar in 1888 and later formed a law partnership with Judge Charles 8. Dice, under the firm name of Williams & Dice, which firm had a large and important practice in the State and Federal Courts. Judge Williams was a member of the State Tax Commission of 1901-2 and assisted in drafting the bills which were the basis of the new tax system adopted in 1904. From 1903 to 1908, he was a member of the State University Board of Regents and took great interest in the duties of that position. In 1908 he was the Republican nominee for the supreme bench, and was elected. He has served two terms as president of that august tribunal. His painstaking application to his judicial duties, and his clear and comprehensive written opinions, have won the commendation of the bar of the State. His judicial temperament, persistent industry and physical vigor give promise of long continued usefulness on the bench. Judge Williams is a thirty-second degree Mason, an active official in the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South, and is identified with several charitable organiza- tions. His public spirit is shown in the uniform interest he takes in community betterment and the State's welfare.

Hi Folks, Found this little tidbit while going through some books...hope this helps someone!

Hi Hal, Nice to hear from you. You know, I think we may be talking about the same James Jarrett, but sources differ, whether he is called James I, or James Sr. or now you call him James Jr. His wife, Elizabeth Griffith has been called, Elizabeth Griffy, Giffy etc. I found a source "DAR Patriot Index, which verifys the name as Elizabeth Griffy. The death date for the James Jarrett that most of our Jarretts descend with agrees with your death date for James "Jr.". Now perhaps you know something that some of us Jarrett researchers do not know. Currently, I am having a dialogue with several Jarrett researchers who are trying to find out the parents of James Jarrett, who married Elizabeth Griffy and Rosanna Vincent. One researcher is hot on a trail to prove that the parents came from PA. So far, that information has been elusive. I list James and Elizabeth's birth dates as abt. 1750, so your birth date could be correct. Do you have documentation to prove that of 1746? I have a death date for our Elizabeth Griffy of 1802. Does that agree with your information? I would think we are talking about the same people, just a little different spelling etc. You can find some more Jarrett deed info etc. on my Geocities site. Check the "Footsteps link", as well as the descendents link which is actually on Becki's site. You will reach that from my geocities site. It is a very early lineage from my beginning research so is very sketchy. I have quite abit on the James Jarrett line, including will information etc. I would be glad to fill in any info and send a genealogy report if we can agree that we are researching the same lines. Do you know your Elizabeth Jarrett's parents? I show several Elizabeth Jarrett's. Did she have other marriages that you know of? I have not identified her yet. BTW, my Jarretts were also from Greenbrier Co. WV. Capt. Robert Renick was killed around Purgatory Creek, Middle River, Augusta Co. VA. [Greenbrier Co.] I have sources if needed, and more of the story if it interests you. The George name is a family that I have been trying to piece together also, since it marries into some of the names that my husband is related to. The Vincent line, which relates to Jarrett and many other names, is actually my husband's, but I have become more interested in his lines, because they are easier to trace than my birth families. I notice that you speak of Jame's wife Elizabeth Griffy/Griffith. However, it has been pointed out to me, that both lines of children of James Jarrett are related through their relationship to some of the same people. The James Family married both lines of Jarrett. The Vincent family is related to Jame's second wife, Rosanna Vincent, as will as Elizabeth Griffy's children, because her son Owen Jarrett married Elizabeth H. Vincent, who was a sister of Rosanna Vincent, and they were both sisters of my husband's ancestor, Joseph Vincent Jr. You can find out more on the geocities site. Do you know the parents of Martha George? I would love to get the See family into my files, but at present, need a little more information. :-) What do you think. Are we talking about the same James?

Hi, I have been hanging out on the list for a while now, looking for information about my husband's KEENAN line. All of a sudden, people are talking about CARROLL's, my mom's family. The first records we have of our ALEXANDER CARRELL/CARROLL (there are Williams in our line too) are in North Carolina about the same time frame as the William Carroll I have seen mentioned on here today. Does anyone know further back (I saw something about MD?) about this line, and wheither there were other family members that went south from MD into NC? I would appreciate any info. Thanks! Brenda Carol Southard Keenan

This is a reply in response to a couple messages going back and forth that originated with Valorie on Greenbrier list, who suggested a site which is for Indian Capture information. As requested, I am forwarding it, for anyone wanting more information about these Indians. It may also have some information for others like us who might be interested if the Sizemore or Sigmon women were related to Indians, which I posted in response to a query I found from Ginny.

Hi Joyce, Presume you saw my earlier today response to Juhling? Can't help but notice you also have RENICK & JARRETTs. These families of Hardy & Greenbrier Cos, WV were also westward migrating neighbors/in-laws of my Geo SEE family. One big happy family!?

I have a Richard Dudley GEORGE b 1768 in Greenbrier mar 8 Dec 1788 in Greenbrier to Sarah BURR. He died 1850-1860 in Hancock Co., Ohio. Is he related to the GEORGE families that are being discussed? Just wondering, Joy in Texas

Hi Juhling and List, I don't know how much help I can give, but here goes. I do have a source listed for some information about a child of William Carroll and Jane Goerge, as Karen Kessler Cottrill. Her e-mail was [email protected] Hopefully it is still a current address, since I lost alot of my e-mail addresses in a recent computer crash. She gave me some information about their daughter, Mary Elizabeth Carroll, b. 1739. I can fill you in on the information about Mary Elizabeth and her line, if you need that. She married John Alderson Jr.. Descendents of theirs married into the McClung lines as you probably know. I will forward this to the McClung line to see if any of them have more information. Perhaps Karen has additional info about Jane George, which I do not have at this time. Additionally I list these Thomas George people. Can anyone help me make the connections to the George family. At this point they are mostly unconnected in my FTW. Thomas George m. Sarah Ann Vincent. She was b. 1816, dau. of John Frazier Vincent and Nancy Renick. Can anyone tell me the parents for this Thomas George? I have the Sarah Vincent info if you need it. Thomas George m. Catherine McCoy. His dates are 1767-1844. Who are his parents? Who are her parents? Thomas A. George m. Mary Sims Hinchman. She was b. 1837. I have WFT dates for this George. I have the Hinchman info. Who are this Thomas's parents? Thomas Lewis George b. about 1796, no wife is listed in my FTW. He is a child of Thomas and Catherine George. I also list a Jane George b. 1794 child of Thomas and Catherine. I am sure this is not the right Jane that you are looking for Juhling. I also note that you list Jane as marrying Thomas Carroll....I am sure that is a typo and later you list her as marrying a William Carroll, as I have had the information previously from Karen Kessler Cottrill. Hoping for some help for both of us in getting the George connections straightened out. Happy hunting.

Cherokee Connection Posted by Ginny Anderson <[email protected]> on Thu, 22 Apr 1999 Surnames: Sizemore, Sigman, Dinkous Said to be Cherokee ancestors: Two of my ggggrandfathers went to North Carolina and brought back Indian Brides to VA/WV in 1849. 1. William Walker/Susanna Sizemore (daughter of Hiram Sizemore and Virginia Dinkous). 2. Eli Walker/Mary Sigman - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- I found the above query on the Genconnect board recently. These Walkers are the children of Nancy Legg [dau. of Susannah Vincent and William Legg] and James Walker. Does anyone have more information about their brides. Can we verify that they were Indian Brides? I can supply the page address if needed. These people would relate to my husband.
