Families that were early settlers in Hampshire Co. I am interested in-- Christopher Slonaker and wife, Mary Ellen Noel Jacob Hauvner, later used Oats as name Also Hawkins and Lupton. Any information would be appreciated. Wanita Lucas

John, Is your Williams family from the Edward Williams & Mary Ann of Patterson Creek/South Potomac area - I am a descendant through both his son James Williams (no name at all for wife) who eventually moved to Rowan Co. NC and through his son Edward Williams Jr.& wife Jane who also came to Rowan Co. NC from Hampshire Co. VA(WV). I know that their brother Vincent who remained in Hampshire and was killed by Chief Killbuck, had a son Col. Vincent Williams who married a VanMeter and I see that name also in your list. I would love to find something that would lead me to the names of Edward Sr.'s wife, James' wife and Edward Jr's wife and would also be happy to share any of my research on the family as well.

Our families are Butler, Harshbarger, Leatherman, Liller, Bobo, Rotruck, Tichnell, Paugh, Barnard, Beckman, O'Brien, Winter(s), McKenzie, Blubaugh, Ravenscroft, Bobo, Foley, Ferrebee, Garlitz, Moon, Sharpless and many others. My brick wall is my gr-gr-grandparents Robert St. Clair Butler(9/1934-aft 1900) and Mary Ellen Lutman(abt 1835-9/3/1898). They lived in Piedmont and had the following children. Alice M. Ledlow, Benjamin F., Laura Virginia Dunn and Annie L. Wehn. Robert was born in MD, but I can't find what county. Mary Ellen was b. in VA. Her first husband was John A. Hipsley and they had a son John, Jr. I am looking for info on their parents or sibilings. Thanks, Chuck & Linda (Tichnell) Butler

True enough, but AnnieA county has always been up-scale, so maybe he'll get lucky. He might try the MD State Archives pages too. You never know what you can find there!

Rootsweb Friends, Looking for anyone possessing a photograph of my 4GA, Rhoda Dillingham (Park-Wilson) (1788-1857), who was from Anne Arundel County, MD but died in Estill County, KY.

Rhoda lived in Frederick/Hampshire Counties, VA before traveling to KY. Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays, Doug Park Hurricane, WV

I wish you luck, but relatively few people had photos taken as early as 1857. It did not become common practice until about the time of the Civil War.

Thanks Bill. Yes, it is gone. I believe it burned quite a few years ago. If anyone is looking up that property, it is now owned by Eugene Poland and used to graze cattle There is no house there.

About 1940 the old Flanagan Farm house was located back off of Route 46 about 1 mile west of Fort Ashby. It was never giving TLC. Riley's bought it from the Flangan Estate. Mr Riley thought he could farm like in Kansas and failed. It was during WW II. Mr. Riley had worked on the B & O. They finally gave up and she got the job of postmaster in Spring Gap.

Numerous people have asked about a schedule for 2004 activities. I recommend the Historic Hampshire website for information about the 250th anniversary celebration. Presumably it will be updated from time-to-time (we hope). The URL is: http://www.historichampshire.org/ Roberta Munske has the overall responsibility for the year-long celebration. She has tremendous organizational skills for planning and achieving results. The first major task has been completed, i.e. the historical book has been written and in the process of going to the printer-- delivery expected in March. I am not a member of the Hampshire County 250th Anniversary Committee; therefore not a designated spokesman for the major milestones for 2004 (am only involved as a volunteer where needed). However, I will post any announcements on future events that have been made public so that you won't miss anything important. Jane Ailes probably has a better handle on this than I; hopefully she will provide periodic updates. Achieving 250 years as a County is a major milestone, indeed. It would be a good year to visit the County to further your genealogical research. Wilmer L.
