I'll take a guess what Patterson family. Lancaster Co,Pa had a family of Indian traders named Patterson. Same family had Col Robert Patterson, very early to Ky-1775- and founder,or co-founder of Lexington,Ky,and Cincinnati,Ohio 1789, and Dayton,Ohio 1796. His son formed the huge Dayton firm of National Cash Register. There was a 2nd Patterson's Creek,on the east side of North Mt,Shenandoah Valley, west of Harrisonburg,Va On Sun, 06 Aug 2000 22:04:20 -0400 Veerle Foreman <vforeman@shentel.net> writes: > Can anyone tell me the family for whom Patterson's Creek is named and > any information > you may have on them? > > Thanks...Mike > ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1312 Surname: ------------------------- My late first husband was the great grandson of James Ellis Ferrebee who married Margaret Rotruck. The families settled in Hampshire/Mineral county. Margaret Rotruck's father was Abraham (1808-1895) who married Marinda Leatherman (1807- ?). My great grandfather was Thomas the brother of Margaret Rotruck Ferrebee. My husband's great grandfather Abraham Jr. was also the brother of Thomas and Margaret. We live on the farm that Abraham Sr. once owned and he is buried here. I am interested in these families. Their ancestors and descendents.

Hi, Just read the mail about the "Cylopedia of Methodism". Does it include any Stattons as they were firm United Brethern Ministers which is now part of the Methodist Church. There was John, David, George, and Issac of which Issac's son, Arthur became a Bishop in that church. They lived in the Hampshire County, WVA area. Any help would be appreciated.

Mike, I searched long and hard on that one and found no family named Patterson anywhere near Patterson's Creek. None by that name on the first warrants or surveys by Genn, nor later on any Fairfax grant. Some years ago I saw reference to an explorer or trader named Patterson (from MD or PA I don't recall which) who may have been in the area in early 1730s. If anyone finds the answer I would like to know about it.

'Cylopedia of Methodism' 1880 Everts -WEST Virginia,state of Berkley circut formed in 1798 [typo-likely 1778] Henry Ogburn,admitted on trial in 1779, labored several years in Western Va.

I'm sure Rev Phillip Gatch, 2nd American born circut-rider,rode Berkley circut early. He was converted to Methodism Jan,1772,and attended the Phila conference of 1773. [1798,he would settled at Milford,Ohio adjoining Francis McCormick,a local Methodist minister,once of Berkley Co,WV. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I have been watching the postings with interest in regard to the Ely family. I have Sarah 'Sallie' Ely(?) who md. James Lorton. She supposedly (census) was born NJ in 1772, he in VA abt. 1762. They md. in Mason Co. KY. and eventually came to Clark Co. and Greene Co. OH. The Ely name is repeated over and over in their descendants. However, I have not been able to connect her with any of the Ely family. Just wondering if you might have anything on my Sarah. Marilyn Willer marame@toledolink.com http://www.toledolink.com/gwill

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1308 Surname: Ely, See ------------------------- Thank YOU for responding so quickly. I will correct Mildred Edgarton's family group sheet prepared on the Ely family; I see now that she has question marks wherever she was doubtful about accuracy. I have lost touch with her, unfortunately, and my last letter to her in D.C. was returned. Her Ely/See/Shaver/Riffle research was extensive; She was the person who alerted me to direct efforts toward West Virginia, specifically Randolph, Braxton, and Hampshire Counties. I will make an attempt to organize my See research so that it is presentable enough to share with you a.s.a.p. I have Generations Grande Suite and have been slow to load it with what I've acquired over the years. Feel free to bug me later in the fall; I'm driving to CA week after next for an undetermined length of time, probably 4-6 weeks. I'd like to maintain contact and share the results of our labor. Cordially...

During the floods a few years ago in Mississippi, they were telling folks to place the photos that got wet in the freezer until they had TIME to deal with restoration. Then to contact their local Museums. This sounds like good advise. I would contact the museum first. If you do not have access to a local one their is always Discovery.com Perhaps they would know what to do. Or a college that teaches Photography. These are just suggestions.

While the fixation process is very good nowadays, and with proper developing and fixing today's pictures can last 100+ years by their estimates exposed to light, handling, etc. The process 100 years ago, or even 40 years ago, was not the same. Pictures can fade, colors on transparencies can fade also, even at different rates. (There are three layers of seperate colors on transparency film) This fading occurs even if stored in the dark. There is a wash for cleaning old photos, but I never had to worry about it with my photos, and I've never had to use it.....so I can't remember the formula. I bet someone in a museum (or archives) might know. Even a very good antique store might have it. Or call up Kodak. (Resort to a photo store as last choice. Technology has changed so much and most are more interested what is happening today instead of 50-150 years ago) What I would do is scan the pictures onto a CD before they get worse. Scan at the highest resolution possible. Don't take the easy way out. At least you'd have a hard copy if anything went wrong. Then see about restoring them. Do one picture at a time to make certain whatever method you choose is safe. If something does go wrong, at least you have the CD to work with later. There are many wonderful programs out there that let you alter and manipulate the data.

Paula, What we did here for the problem was take the photos out side and lay them in the sunshine. Maybe an hour and it went away while the photos were outside. Pre Civil War would be glass I would not put glass outside but paper photos. We had no problems killing the mildew this way. Learned this from a paper archivist.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1306 Surname: COLLINS, STUTHARD ------------------------- I recently discovered that in the 1800 census record or tax roll, that 2 Jacob COLLINS appear. I am trying to find my 4g grandfather, Jacob COLLINS b. 1772 in VA and married to Phebe STUTHARD c 1795. In 1810 they were living in Fayette Co., PA but I can find no marriage record for them or where they were before 1810. In 1814 they purchased property in what is now Ritchie Co., WV and raised their family there. I need to find the parents of both Jacob and Phebe as well as early records for this couple. Any help appreciated.
