Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1287 Surname: Buzzard, Smoot ------------------------- Trying to locate information on the William Buzzard family. Lived in Hampshire Co., in or near Romney in 1830 - 1850's. William Buzzard married Lucinda Smoot and they had at least 5 children one of them was my g.grandfather, Sylvester Buzzard b. 1838 in Romney. William's father was Jacob Buzzard.

My suggestion would be to contact the editor of "Hampshire History" (correct name) via e-mail on the Hampshire Review web page. I did that seeking the identity of a contributor of photos, etc., of people in my family tree which appeared in an earlier "Hampshire History." After a couple of weeks or so, she e-mailed me back with the name and address--she, no doubt, checked with the contributor for their approval before giving out their identity.

Does anyone happen to know the gentleman who provided the wonderful pictures and information on the SEEDERS family featured in the last two issues of the "Historic Hampshire" publication? Might he have an e-mail address I might have? I have a SEEDERS connection and one of the pictures he provided was of Clay and Hannah Windle SEEDERS. Hannah's mother was a NELSON. Thanks, Karen Nelson Hangsleben

Peter Miller of Romney was the best man at the marriage of Mary Susan Windle to John F. Butler -1891. The write-up in the local newspaper mentions that Mr. Miller was the veteran of two wars and "who has had that many wives and says he won't refuse another." Who was this Peter Miller? Karen Nelson Hangsleben

Looking to learn more about the Butler family. Mary Susan WINDLE wed John Franklin Butler - August 12, 1891. They had two children: Walter 1892-1985 and LuLu (Louellen). Hope someone will recognize the name and perhaps have information to share. Thanks, Karen Nelson Hangsleben

Hi Dan , I saw your posting on the cemetary for the Lillers. The first name on your list you recorded from the cemetary is my cousin Chris Westfall. The cemetary is called The Harris Family Cemetary. I can talk with some family and see if I can get any information on the Liller names if you would like. Tina

Elaine, That Jonathan Hiett may have been living in Morgan County, WV in 1850, near Largent, WV in Cacapon Valley.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1279 Surname: ------------------------- First of all, there are so many Jonathan & Margaret Hiett's that one must be sure of which one is speaking of. I have a history of the Hiett's of Old Frederick (and Hampshire) County by Wilmer Kerns. To work down to the Jonathan that I believe you are referring to, it goes thus: John Hiett,Jr.>Evan Hiett>Jeremiah Hiett>Jonathan Hiett. Kerns has the following to say about this Jonathan: "Jonathan Hiett was born April 5, 1808, and died Sept. 16, 1887. He first married a Miss Parks and then, on Jan 24 1837, married Margaret McKee, who was a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Reid) McKee. Margaret was born in 1814 and died Aug 15, 1872, in Hampshire County. Her brother Robinson Joseph McKee, who married Maria Sommerville, was a major character in "Early History of Bloomery, W.Va.: A Pioneer's Perspective," published in the Dec 14, 1987 issue of The West Virginia Advocate." Kerns further notes that he is interested in corresponding with descendants, or with knowledgeable persons, of this Jonathan Hiett. I'm sure he would like to hear from you. Evan Hiett was my ggg-grandfather, and I am descended through his son Jonathan, brother to the above Jeremiah.

Of course, then I can never find the old email. Does anyone else have that problem, or is it just because I'm still fairly new at all this? Grin.

I have seen the Wilson surname on one of these list and is anyone connected to the family I have listed below??? IF so please email me. Ann Elizabeth WHITE was my great Aunt and I also wonder if anyone knows anything about Charity WHITE? I have the SPURLING line come in by a second marriage to Ann Elizabeth's brother. Wonder which WHITE line Charity belonged too as I know the POLINGS and WHITES knew each other in Hampshire County. Sorry for the multiple postings.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------19D74CB8064B2B38FB5439E1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Because I read several genealogy lists and have posted numerous messages, plus received so much help and ideas from so many wonderful people on these lists, I just had to share my incredible news with you all. I hope you'll forgive me for a little cross-posting, but I don't want to miss anyone. I grew up knowing and sometimes living with three of my half sisters. I knew I had other sisters and brothers, but was never told much about them. Then at the age of 17, I met my biological mother and also one of my sisters. (The sister I met also met our mother for the first time that weekend.) It was then I learned of other brothers and sisters who had been adopted into different homes. I searched for siblings off and on in my 20s, but began looking in earnest in my early 30s. It was then I found 4 more sisters and a brother. There was still one brother missing. I actually spoke to the social worker who handled his adoption and she had his file on her desk, but she couldn't release any information. (That was about 15 or 20 years ago.) The rest of us have had mini reunions and have gotten to know each other. We stay in touch, and in some cases some of us have a really wonderful relationship with each other. But at every get-together, we'd talk about "Baby Richard" who we had never found. I posted queries to the internet, but no luck. Well, a couple days ago one of my sisters who lives in Oklahoma got a phone call from the State of Oklahoma. Apparently, there is a new mediation service of some sort that assists adoptees in finding siblings, parents, etc. As it turned out, our baby brother (who is now 37 years old), had registered earlier this year with that agency. And by so doing, the agency tracked down one of my sisters. Her adoption file had a notation in it that if her brother came looking, that she definitely wanted to be found. Consequently, the agency called Rhonda and told her that Richard would like to get in touch with her. Waiver forms were faxed to both of them, signed, faxed back to the agency, and then the phone numbers were released. It has been so incredible. Last night I talked to my brother for the first time on the phone. I can't begin to describe the feelings inside...I was shaking, crying, laughing, and probably not making much sense..grin... I had so many questions and so many things I wanted to tell him...but mostly I just wanted to reach through the phone lines and hug him. He sounded so nice, he did something so very special I could hardly believe it. It just so happens that yesterday was our biological mother's birthday. When he found that out, he said, "Well, maybe I should call her and wish her a Happy Birthday." He had been quite nervous about talking to her, so that was such a wonderful gesture on his part. Since our mother is in the final stages of emphesema, and since Richard was always the missing piece of our family, how incredible the timing that he should find us now and that he would be willing to call her. It made her day so very special, and endeared him even more to me. I feel a peace inside now. We are whole again. Learning about family has been so very important to me, and I have appreciated each one who has given me suggestions or information. Now I can share that research with all my sisters and brothers. Because I feel like I almost know so many who post to the various lists (even though I don't post often...I read all the time(...I just had to share the wonderful news with each of you.
