I found no Bitners in either co. until 1920: BITNER ELMER 29 M W PA WV MINERAL KEYSER 1920 He was a brakeman b PA b MD, wife Mabel 29, dau Eleanor, son James, both b WV. BITNER SAMUEL 56 M W PA WV MINERAL KEYSER; NEW CRK He was a paper-hanger, with wife 59, son Arbie, 21, a painter's helper at B&Q Shops, all were born PA. (I think B&Q may have been a car place. Next guy listed is a car builder at same place, and a third one on the same page is a car painter there). You probably need to locate them in 1930 census (I have no index for that one). Sounds like these could be connected to your guy. (No Bittners in the county 1900-1920.) --- SnowBeri@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 11/19/2003 8:17:26 AM > Mountain Standard Time, > phangsleben@ghg.net writes: > <<Looking for information on the BITNER family > of Hampshire/Mineral Cos. > Especially interested in a William Bitner, born > cica 1900 who might have > been in the local wallpaper and paint business. > Believe he was married to a > Lulu Butler and most probably divorced.

Robinson listers, I have posted in the past searching for recent relations to my Robinson line. As I have obtained some new info, I thought I might try connecting with more distant relations. I am searching for relations to Col. William Robinson, b. 25 Mar. 1709 in Middlesex Co, VA. M. 1st Agatha Beverly 17 Feb. 1737; 2nd Agnes Smith 1758. William d. at the family home in Spotsylvania Co., 7 Aug. 1792. Issue of William and Agatha Beverley Robinson: 1. John Robinson, b. 1738, eldest son [and my DIRECT LINE], m. 1st a Miss Page; m. 2nd (mg. bond dated 24 Nov 1757) to Lucy Smith had two sons who went to Tennessee ca 1800. A third son John Thomas m. Elizabeth Emerson and had issue: Beverly W., Arthur, Samuel, William, Richard b. abt 1812, John, and Joseph Lewis. [These families are found in the 1840 Hampshire Co., VA census.] The latter was the father of Mr. P. M. Robinson, Vice Pres. of Union National Bank of Clarksburg, West Virginia. Richard Robinson was my ggg-father and had son, John W. Robinson, b. 1843, Harrison Co., VA. The family moved to Noble Co. OH abt. 1854. John W. later moved to Louisville, KY, d. 1892. 2. Henry (Harry) Robinson, Direct Line of E. Viola Robinson Long. (Her book, This Robinson Line: 1468 -1938 is an invaluable source for much of this info.) 3. Catherine Robinson, b. 1742, d. 1798, m., cousin, Beverley Winslow 23 Dec., 1757. Issue of William and Agness Smith Robinson: 4. Benjamin Robinson, m. Catherine Parker. 5. Francis Robinson, b. 2 Mar., 1765, m. Mary Emily Terrill. 6. Samuel Robinson, m. . . . Neavil. 7. Agnes Robinson, m. Edmond Stephens. 8. Lucy Robinson, m. Joseph Nelson of Spotsylvania Co., VA. 9. Elizabeth Robinson, b. 3 Nov. 1770, d. 16 Oct., 1830, m. William Nelson. I have much more to share on my direct line and hope to connect many of the VA Robinson lines I have seen postings for. Please get in touch. Thanks, Chris Robinson _________________________________________________________________ Crave some Miles Davis or Grateful Dead?

The DAR site lists only those men on whose proven service some woman has joined. There are hundreds of Patriots with no descendants in DAR. And of course the service had to be Revolutionary -- Lord Dunmore's War doesn't count and neither does militia duty against the AmerInds. Cheryl At 10:22 AM 11/17/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Thanks!

Pioneer Nurses of West VirginiaA great new site for all West Virginians Unknown nurses (with mother?). Photo by Connell's Studio, Wheeling, W. Va. About This Site...

I was thinking Audie, or Otis/Odis or even O.D. (I knew someone whose initials were O.C. and when he said his name, it sounded like Ossie). Audie is probably slightly more likely of those three, if only because there WERE Irish in the area at the time.

Linda - (& Genie) - the gap in ages of children listed on census could be explained a number of ways. Most obvious would be that one or more younger than "Adam 30" have already married and moved away from this household. "Jacob, 13" could be Lydia's 'grandson' and maybe (?) Adam's son. Depending on who actually spoke with the census taker, and how it appears on the handwritten form - Jacob might have been 23 . Census takers did/do make mistakes, and the reporting person did not always answer correctly. Finding Adam and Jacob in the 1870 census could verify their ages (but most of us know of many instances of different ages given every 10 years!). Good Luck in your search. Clara in NE
