Posted on: Hancock County, WV Query And Surname Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hancock?read=372 Surname: Hussin, Naim, Nain, Stone ------------------------- I am looking for the family of my great uncle who lived in Weirton, WV during the 1940s and 50s. His name was Abraham Hussin (could be spelled Hussein, Hossain, or any number of variances). I don't know what his profession was, but he was from the isle of Rhodes between Greece and Turkey. Abraham Hussin's brother was my grandfather, Alex Nain (on Rhodes this was apparently originally spelled Naim). If anyone has ever heard of this person, and might be able to give me some leads on his family, I would be very appreciative

Just found this exciting news on the WVHANCOC-L email list through rootsweb. It confirms and lists my great grandfather James Wilson. It has a great history on the battles in which he fought. Our family has told stories of how the soldiers had to eat 'onions' for food as at times that was all that they could find to eat. Another story was that of a confederate soldier who stood on a tree stump and crowed like a rooster.... which naturally made him a prime candidate for getting shot. (Don't know if he did or not.....). I have a picture of my great grandfather James in his civil war uniform that my son, Teal, will have to scan for us!!! Still to be confirmed as family ties are the other WILSONs on the list and members of the CARSON family.

This book , compiled by William Hewitt, is presented in its entirety but I plan to expand on it greatly by adding information about each and every soldier in the Regiment...more than 1000 soldiers.

Union Cemetery is just about 1 block off Rt. 8 (formerly Rt. 2) at New Manchester (formerly named Pughtown). This is an extremely small community and you must turn off the Rt 8 at the peak of the hill in this town...coming from Chester will be a right turn...coming from New Cumberland will be a left turn. The Presbyterian Church sits in the first turn of the road, and the very next turn is where "Union Cemetery" is. I have relatives in this cemetery, namely my mother. Easiest way to tell you how to reach New Cumberland Cemetery, is same Rt. 8 to that town, go up on Ridge Avenue (coming from Chester), 1st street past the post office you turn left and go over the hill, at the foot of hill cross small concrete bridge that spans the creek, keep to left and go up the hill (cemetery hill). At the top on the right you will see New Cumberland Cemetery. I have family in this cemetery too, namely my grandfather. Hoping this will be clear to you..if not you can e-mail me . Good Luck
