Hello, i am new to the list. My families are Weaver,Kearns (Kerns),McCauley,Layman,Bennett, Fast,Ashcraft,Thompson,Jones,Spannagle,Marks,Buck,& McCall. Also Gibbs. I will share Info. Emolene Weaver,Lynch >From OHIO [email protected] ----- >

Martha, Yes, I think that is her, though I was hoping for a cause of death. She did have a sister Lillie, so I'm sure that's her too. As I mentioned before, my Great-grandmother had told me that they all died of "what ever was going around that year." She had told me that it was a great tragedy for the family, because so many were lost. The death of Jane left my g-grandma an orphan, she was only 5 years old at the time, and didn't remember very much. Thanks again, Becky

Hi to all, The mention of "Dunlop Miller" has caught my eye. Wondered if there was any connection between him and Samuel Dunlap Brady of both Allegany Co. and Hampshire Co? Samuel's father was Benjamin Brady and mother was Barbara______. Albeit the lack of documentation, some people theorize that Barbara was a Dunlap; some theorize that she was a Miller.

Greetings one and all. I know that some of you have been talking about the HCHS. I wrote to the only person I knew that knew anything about the inner workings of the society. I told her what people were thing (no names) just so she could pass it on to the higher ups to let them know more about what people either want from the HCHS or wish to have. Roberta Munske, the author of this short letter has responded to me and said that I could print it all and keep the names in so that people may contact the society. She spoke to Bob and Brenda, and so they are aware of this. She also said, she thinks they would all love to see a vibrant new group of members ready to take on projects.

Hello to everyone who is looking for info on these people. I am new to the list, but it looks like I started something (great !) A few weeks ago I was checking on the rootsweb message board for McBride when I came across Linda from Indiana who was doing research on McBride's from Hampshire Co. WV. I took a chance an emailed her. What a great chance ! Linda and I connected. Her great great grandmother Susan Rebecca McBride and my great great grandmother (Lydia "Jane" Rainey) were sisters. So, any of the info that you have just recieved on John D. Miller and the Rainey's from Clearfield Co. Pa. came from me, Linda must have passed it on, which is OK with me, that is what this is all about ! I will be glad to help any of you out with what I have. The story goes that Jane and her father went to Hampshire Co. to take care of some sick relatives, (small pox, we think) I see from the posting that another daughter of John D. Miller died there also, Lilly, another missing link. I wa! s searching Wayne's cemetery postings (which I think is one of the best I have seen) and I found Edward B. Miller born 1855 and died 1936 and his wife (?) Emma L. Miller born 1876 died 1909. They are buried in the Russell Cem. in Levels. With this many people looking for info on these people we should be able to come up with something. To anyone who recieved Susan Bailey Miller's death certificate, her mother's maiden name is spelled Pinnich, I found out it is Pennock, they came from the Chester Co. area of Pa. Chester Co. Pa. Historical Society has family histories on the Bailey's and Pennock family, the books are very old, the will not photo copy them, you have to go to their library to look at them. If any of you are close to Chester Co. Pa. I have yet to get there. Nadene Ohio

Would this be your Lydia Jane? Raney, Lydia J., d. Mar. 6, 1888, 38 yr; Hampshire. Father: Miller, J.D. Born Pennsylvania. Informant: Father. Book 1, p. 46 (Hampshire Co. death records). This is from Vicki Horton's compilation, Hampshire County Death Records (1866-1922). Another death that seems to be her sister (father has the same name, anyway): Miller, Lilly L. d. Mar. 4, 1888, 22 yr 1 mo 3 d. Hampshire. Father: Miller, J.D. Born Pennsylvania. Informant: father. Book 1, p. 45. I hope this helps.

The closest I can come is a real stretch, since the only points of convergence are Jane nee Miller, and 1888. Same time frame, The South Branch Intelligencer reports nothing that gets even that close.

Becky, If you know what county she died in, you could order the microfilm of the death records at your local LDS Family History Center. The death registers from that period in W.Va. list the cause of death, name of person reporting death, and parents of deceased if known by person reporting death. If you don't know which county, then you could write to the state. [email protected] wrote: > Hi Linda, > I am also looking for a member of the Miller Family.

Hi Linda, I am also looking for a member of the Miller Family. Edward and Susan Rebecca, (m. to a McBride I think) had a sister Lydia "Jane." The family history says Jane went to WV to help her sister, who's family was ill..."with whatever was going around that year, typhoid or yellow fever" and contracted the disease and died 3-6-1888. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a death record or an obituary......do you need any information on the Miller family? Thanks, Becky

Hi Jane, I know of a John Dunlop Miller, his wife was Susan Bailey, he was b. 1814 in Lancaster Co. PA., d. 1900 and buried in Cherry Hill, PA. My records tell of a son, Edward, b 1857 in Pa, d. in WV, I think in Morgan Co., but I'm not positive about that. I am looking for Johns daughter, Edward's sister, Lydia "Jane" Miller, she died, I think, 3-6-1888 in Hampshire Co., she is my second great-grandmother. I am wondering if anyone could help me with an obituary, or death certificate? I have a picture of John D. if anyone is interested. My information is from the memory of my great-grandmother, though she was old when she told me she still had great recall, I haven't done any research to document any of this. If you think this can be of help let me know, and if you can set me on the trail of any of "Jane's" death records, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Becky

Greetings one and all. I wrote to the only person that I know that has any dealing with the HCHS and she sent me a response today in an email. I have emailed her back and asked her if I could quote her. It is a nice letter, as well as suppling me with information on who to talk to at the HCHS. It sounds as if there wasn't much interest in the whole HCHS is very little, and they almost closed their doors. Where they do show up at county events. I will send the letter tomorrow, after getting the OK.
