Hi, Could someone please do a look-up in Vicki B. Horton's "Hampshire Co. Marriages of the 1800's" for information on Marriage of William Spurling and Hannah Merritt, 27 Aug 1857. I also believe he may have been married before. I can't lay my hands on the info this minute but I believe the first wife's name began with a "C". Thanks, Mary Roddy

Ellen, Sorry, but no Ingmier in the book.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1242 Surname: Arnold ------------------------- I have nothing on Josiah, but Vicki B. Horton's "Hampshire Co. Marriages of the 1800's" has a listing for a Joseph Arnold. I don't know if this is your Joseph, but here is the listing: Joseph Arnold to Elizabeth Sloane, 20 Jan 1827 (license or bond date) Wilmer Kerns' "Historical Records of Old Frederick & Hampshire Counties, Va." contains the following: "Arnold, John, son of Richard and Christina (Davis) Arnold, pioneers to Hampshire Co, was born on Sept 6, 1735 and died in 1819 in Hampshire Co. He married Hannah Parks, daughter of Roger and Hannah Parks. John's father, Richard Arnold, died in Hampshire Co in 1758. He helped George Washington survey several of the lots along the Cacapon River. Source: Court deposition re Nixon case, et al." There is another reference to this Richard Arnold in the book. If this is your Richard, and you would like the reference, e-mail me directly.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1241 Surname: Cannon ------------------------- Found the following listing in Vicki B. Horton's "Hampshire Co. Marriages of the 1800's": Rusus Buren Cannon, age 24, to Babe McBride, age 22, 7 Sept 1887. [No, I am not kidding, it actually gave her name as "Babe."] The only other similar surname listed was Martha Jane Canon, marriage of 1867. If you want this one, let me know.

3 times the British defeated Scotch Highlanders, and sold the defeated P.O.W'S in her American colonies. 1st was around 1650-60,and ones I have records of were sold to ironworks near Boston. Then,in 1716,the defeated Jacobites were sold to several colonies. My own Dugal McQueen had been defeated at Preston,nw England,in an army from Inverness. He was sold at Baltimore,1716. 3rd army of Jacobites was sold around 1740's. Scarff's "History of Baltimore" had some ship rosters of those sold in 1716. I'd guess the biggest settlements on the South Branch in 1760 were around the defensive forts. Always wanting to know more of Fort Buttermilk, s Moorefield,and FT George -Petersburg.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1236 Surname: Francis, Pritchett ------------------------- Francis: Of paralysis. October 16, 1880, at the residence of Lester Francis, of Newport township, Mrs. Anna Francis in the 85th of her age. She was a native of Hampshire County W.V but had lived in this township for about 60 years. She was a faithful mother and leaves a large line of descendants. Note: Anna Pritchett m. Edward Francis c. 1814. She was the daughter of George and Elizabeth (?) Pritchett. The family moved to Tyler Co. WV and then to Washington Co. OH.If you have any info about this family please contact me.

Hello all, I have not been a subscriber for over a year now but previously contributed historical and genealogical articles to the archives of wvhamp-l, old-frederick-co-va-l and others. I previously heard about the 'old records' found in the Hampshire Co. WV courthouse, and more recently that these records are in the process of being microfilmed. My question concerns the years covered by these records. One source from the archives says they cover the late 18th and early 19th century (too late for my research.) However, a recent e-mail source says this 'find' includes records from the mid-1700's when Hampshire County was formed, and includes much about the South Branch area of my McDaniel-McDonald ancestors. Can some well informed subscriber please tell me what years and types of info are covered within these 'newly found' records? My Joseph McDaniel-McDonald first shows up in the Frederick Co. VA area in the 1750's. The Rev War pension records of his son, Valentine (my direct line), tells that he was born 11 Jan 1760 'at' South Branch of the Potomac River. The 'at' raises another question. I found a 'town' or settlement named 'South Branch' on an old map; it was located on the east bank of the South Branch River at its confluence with the 'main' or North Branch of the Potomac River -- in other words, it was located on the VA-WV side of the Potomac, across the Potomac River and slightly down-stream of Cresap's on the MD side, and Ft. Cumberland on the VA-WV side. Has anyone ever found reference to a 'South Branch' town or small settlement at this or any other location? Joseph McD moved his family from the South Branch area to Baltimore Co. MD about the time the F&I War ended (possibly due to Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763?), or at least when his son Valentine was 'very young' per Valentine's RW records, and thence to the Westmoreland Co. area of southwestern PA about 1773-1776. Valentine McDaniel-McDonald first served in the Rev War from Westmoreland Co. PA at age 17 (1777), being stationed at Prickett's Fort of VA-WV under Capt. Zadoch Springer that year. He later helped to construct two forts in the wilderness of 'Ohio Country' (Ft. McIntosh and Ft. Laurens), and served in western frontier campaigns. Back to Joseph McD for possible general interest: I have never been able to learn whether he was my immigrant ancestor. He or his parents were likely Ulster-Irish immigrants per my readings and statistical probability concerning the large 'Scotch-Irish' emigrations from Ulster Ireland of the early-mid 1700's. However, it is possible that he or his parents emigrated the 'lowland area' of Scotland as many 'border-people' of the England-Scotland border area did during this same timeframe (per Fischer's book, "Albion's Seed.") Many of these emigrants arrived at ports of Philadelphia, New Castle or other ports of the Delaware River-Bay but 'generally' headed for the frontier or 'back-settler' areas of MD and VA while some remained in nearby areas or colonies of their arrival (northeastern MD, NJ, southeastern PA, etc.) -- at least for awhile as some were 'indentured servants' to pay for their passage. It is also 'remotely' possible that Joseph McD was part of a Scots' Highlander military unit as several of these units were brought into the VA area during the mid-1750's to help contest the French and Indians, many of whom remained in the American colonies after the F&I War. Thanks for any help or general input of historical interest. Genealogical and historical research is a never-ending process. I am presently reading Joseph Dodderidge's book, "Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania, 1763-1783....," (originally written in 1824) that a friend recommended a year or so ago. Dodderidge writes in the old 'heavy handed' style, but so far his book is very interesting in that it contains many details concerning the society and lifestyles of our ancestors. Neil McDonald

I'm looking for the following info: 1. Wife of: Charles Hill, Sr. b 1742 in Richmond Co, VA. He lived in Hampshire County from 1800 - 1807. 2.
