Isn't that a great site?? I finally found out where my ancestor was born. He always said "White Oak Run", but I thought it was in Columbiana Co, Ohio. I knew he was raised in W.Va. Wonderful!!

I am researching relatives of my husband. They settled in Hancock County around the New Cumberland Area. Sara Elizabeth Moore, Samuel Hooper and their children. Their daughter Minnie Hooper married Charles Wesley Saffle. This couple was the grandparents of my husband. Any one out there with information on these families that would be willing to share any information, I would be most appreciative. Thanks so much, Pauline Robson

I still have to check some census', and immigration papers, but I haven't given up. I would imagine Bubnas originally had a little carrot over the top of the "s" giving the letter a "sh" sound. So may have been pronounced Bubnash. My great grandfather tried to "Amercianize" the name to Bubin. I have no relatives in MI, but don't know what became of brothers, cousins, etc on my line. What dates do you have for your "oldest" Michael Bubnas? Laura

Newell excerpts from the article: John Newell, James Larkins, Edward Larkins and Joseph Larkins built a pottery known as the Virginia in 1845 on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River (where the town of Newell now stands). This was not far from the blockhouse erected by Daniel Greathouse, an early settler and Indian fighter. Clay used from the pottery was taken from the farm of John Newell. It further states that Hugh Newell, a son of John Newell, took much of the pottery ware down the river for sale. Supposedly spending so much time in southern states, and particularly New Orleans, that he learned to speak French fluently. The pottery went under during the Civil War - the southern buyers considered it too far north and the northerners ignored it because it was more or less in a southern state. In 1938 John Newell (grandson of John Newell) is listed as president of the Hancock County Building and Loan Co. in Chester. ********** James Larkins was my great great grandfather. We know little to nothing about him or his pottery, except what is in the article. He apprenticed with Edwin Bennett, brother of James Bennett who was the founder of the very first pottery in East Liverpool. Any information about James Larkins or the pottery would be appreciated.
