William Carson and Martha Haney are my great great grandparents. I will send you my WILSON file separately with that information in it, and look for my Carson information and also send it to you separately. All lived in Hancock Co. WV and Westmoreland Co PA. I am hoping that you have additional information that might help connect my WILSON information. Note that one of the sons in the Wilson line was named William 'Wallace' Wilson. Perhaps a connection there? We also have a Carolina Mathilda White.

Posted on: Hancock County, WV Query And Surname Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hancock?read=360 Surname: Ralstons ------------------------- Hello, thanks for the info. Yes my Ralston Roots were from Kings Creek area. I have gathered lots of records on them in Brooke & Hancock area from afar..with the wonderful help of several folks that live in the area, the Brooke Co genealogys society & others. Sharing really works. I have Fanny Ralston Swearingen in our family info too. Alot of The Ralston's are buried at the Three Springs Cemetery and the family lived in the area since 1783 or maybe by 1775? I'm also trying to find out some info on them between 1775-1783 where they were from before they moved to this area. THANKs so much for your reply. Happy Trails on your researching.

Posted on: Hancock County, WV Query And Surname Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hancock?read=359 Surname: Lyons, Ralston ------------------------- I haven't any of these Lyons in my manusript. I know there were Ralstons living in New Cumberland,WVa., I believe Hancock Co. My maiden name is Swearingen and I know there was a Fanny Ralston that was my Grandfathers' age that he went to the same church. I know there were Ralstons in Kings Creek My Grandfather Lyons(my Mother's Father) was from Doddridge Co., Wva. (Salem) A woman by the name of Karol E-mail Wandle2@aol.com thought we might be in the same line as her 1st ancester was William as was mine, but she is of a completely different line of Lyons. Perhaps she may be of some help. That is how I learned about the manuscript. She has traced her Lyons back to Washington Co.Her William was bn in Ireland abt.1778 died 1853 in Washington,Co. I know very little abt. the Ralstons. I can visualize their home near the grange hall on Swearingen Hill but I was very young, I also recall the Methodist Church very close by, but I could be mistaken I wish I could offer you more Carol

I did find a listing for Alice living with Salathiel and James McCandless (my ancestor) in the 1860 Brooke Co, WV census in District Four, Holidays Cove. I believe you have the 1850 census information about them in Hancock Co. Incidently, I was going through my mother's old papers and she had a letter written by you in 1973 to one of her relatives, Helena Runyan. In the Hnacock Co, census and in the 1895 census for Norton Co, Kansas McCandless's birthplace is listed as Pennsylvania, mother and father from Virginia. Some of Mac's children born in PA around 1880's..maybe Salathiel up there with him. Keep me posted if you make any progress. Lisa

GRAFTON, b. 1787 in Maryland and died in 1873 in West Virginia. Does anyone know of him and his family? Many GRAFTONS lived in the counties across the river in Ohio. Betty Boyd in SC skipboyd@aol.com
