Susan, I checked the 1850 Virginia census on CD and, although there are MANY Sutherland families in VA, there was none in what is now Hardy County or any of the surrounding WV counties. There was a Sutherly family living on the South Fork south of Moorefield, but that's as close as I could come.

Hello, I am just signed onto this list. Hope it is ok to ask questions like this one: my grandfather was born in Moorefield in Hardy Co., WV, around 1890's. His name was Roy Alexander Sutherland, son of William and Mary Clever Sutherland. He was a Presbyterian. I would like to know his parents' parents' names, etc. Does the courthouse there have records, or does anyone on this list already have information on these people? Thank you.

Someone wrote: >Second question: Does anyone know the religious of William Welch who performed marriages in Hardy County circa 1830s?< Rev Welch was a Methodist Circuit Rider in WV Hampshire, Mineral, Hardy and Allegany County, MD. He performed marriages from 1816 - 1867. One of these marriages was for my great-great grandparents David BOSLEY & Anna McCauley, March 8, 1822. If anyone is interested, I have a list of 22 BOSLEY marriages he performed from 1820 - 1856. Lynn Alan McGriff

>Second question: Does anyone know the religious of William Welch who >performed marriages in Hardy county circa 1830s? I think I remember that he was a Presbyterian, but can't find anything here to confirm that. There is a film in the Family History Library (0901220 item 6) of a list of marriages he performed in Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral Counties, VA and Allegany County, MD. If you have access to the Web, you might try the LDS Library site and look under his name (Welch, William). They might have some more information about him. That's listed as one of the subjects for the film above.

I'm searching for a Rohrbaugh cemetery near Rough Run WV. The directions I have say it is 1/2 mile N. of Rough Run Post Office (according to microfilm records for Grant County Cemeteries). The conditions at the time of the survey were poor. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of this cemetery? Second question: Does anyone know the religious of William Welch who performed marriages in Hardy county circa 1830s?

I'm seeking information about James D. Boone, who was listed in the 1850 Census of Hardy County. He doesn't appear in later Censuses, but doesn't appear in the death records, either. If anyone has any information about him, especially a will record or other death information, I'd appreciate very much hearing from you. James and Catherine and their children lived in or near Baker, since he was in that district in the 1850 Census, and he was listed as Postmaster of the Baker's Run Post Office in 1851 in the USGENWEB pages for Hardy County.

Arthur Hopkins wrote: > living in Capon Township, Hardy County. Folks: A little southern local civics lesson. There are no townships in the south. What is being referred to above is the Capon District. The county is the smallest unit of local government. To simplify the assessment and collection of taxes, districts were created. This would identify a particular part of the county in which you lived and, at least through the 1800's, you would also have a person assigned to collect taxes in that area. The collector was usually a resident of the district and therefore would be able to find everyone. I am not sure what the tax districts are for Hardy County, but the county road maps have the county district boundaries indicated. These can be obtained from the state highway shed in Moorefield.

I'm looking for information about a Saron Boon, who was listed in an index to the 1870 Census as living in Capon Township, Hardy County. This person (I don't know whether male or female) was on page 18 of the Census for Hardy County. If anyone has any information about this person and the members of this household, I'd appreciate very much hearing from you. Arthur Hopkins Bend, Oregon www.transport.com/~arthopkins/
