Hello, Saw the HIGH discussion and knew the name sounded familiar. Been searching & found the information in my files of Steinbeck/ Clarke/Capitos who lived in the Hampshire/ Hardy Co area of VA(W) in 1800s. From Emmert Bittinger's book Allegheny Passage pg 243 there is listed a family of HIGHS... The reason I was so interested is one was named Frederick Steinbeck High SR. Since Frederick Steinbeck is my ggg grandfather who died in 1823 in Romney, VA(W) and my brick wall!!! this name jumped out. Frederick Steinbeck High Sr a second son of John and Elizabeth Haymaker HIgh was born Jan 19, 1761 in Germany and died Jan 18, 1844. He was m. to Christina Kail of Cacapon River Ave. She b Nov 6, 1770 and d May 29, 1854. 8 ch named & spouses There is more.. also other given names: Hiram, John and Mary Smith High. Henry U. High (3rd son of John and Elizabeth) b. Germany and d Jan 24, 1834. Married Susannah Myers (Moyers) b 1780 d 1843. George High (1798-1872) m Lydia Arnold. HIram High 1807-1895 m. 1827 Susan Ingman (Iman, Eyman) Do any of these names help? There is more but I don't have the book here...but could look next time I'm at library. Am still curious why the Frederick STeinbeck name is connected to the High family... Shirley
