Thanks Ed for posting early Harrison Co. marriages., a lot of my family was in there, the Webbs, Davisson. Muirhead & more I thank you very much. Vaughn

T list; I was clearing out some links I had placed in favorites and found this site with early Harrison County marriages. Thought it might be useful. Ed Nutter http://www.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/harrmarr.htm

I have just put up a web site with old photos of my family, Bartlett, Whittelsey, Hastings so far. this is still a work in progress. Some of these photos are of Parkersburg, W.VA homes and of a flood in 1937 which I thought might interesting folks with relatives from that area.

If any one knows anything about the Cottrill family listed in the Poorhouse of the 1880 census, I am interested in them. Thanks, Paul Pettit

Here is the page from Ancestry.com explaining abt the online Census and showing a sample. http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/census.htm If this doesn't work, try http://www.ancestry.com and then click on the info concerning the Census. I'm assuming that anyone can check the sample, whether a member or not. It appears that, even with a current Ancestry.com subscription, there will be an extra "Census" subscription. Ancestry's scanned records are pretty good assuming the original handwriting was clear. I have been using the Civil War Pension Index. These are the actual scanned Pension cards kept by the National Archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: CID at KID'S CORNER <cathez@teleport.com> To: <WVHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 3:34 PM Subject: Re: [WVHARRIS] Ancesty-- all U.S. Census records Hi guys, I saw this last month and I checked a site out that had data on it.

Could you please post the address for the site where you found the 1880 census records for the Harrison county " Poorhouse ". Thank You, Bette L. May

Hi Wanda: My name is Bette L. May and YES complete families did live at " Poorhouses ". My fathers family was one of them. They had nowhere to go after a fire completely destroyed their home. They were a family of 6. My grandparents and 4 young children. Bette

The way I found out where my Grandmother was burried was from her Death Certificate it had Harrison County Infermery. If this is listed then that is where they where burried up the hill beside the 4-H center.( Tom Sears -director of the 4-H center know where this cemetery is at.) I know that there are about 100 graves at the County Infirmary Cemetery. There are only 2 stones there. The county did not keep up with where they burried each person. If it list poor Farm then they where burried behind the house at the PoorHome. I have been told that the Country Club Car dealership had these graves moved to the top of the hill on the road next to the paint shop. I have been there and seen them. There are about 30 graves up there. If you have people that are listed in the County Infirmary Cemetery please list them with my listing under Cemeterys please. I would like to try to get back to West Virginia next year to clean up this grave sight and get my grandmother a head stone.

While going through the 1880 census for Harrison County I found references to see A.W.Fittro for two family members. When looking at this reference it has AW Fittro as farmer and operator of poorhouse. It lists families with children in it.In the 1900 census for TenMile district has girls as young as 10 as inmates.This was for Salem Industrial home for Girls. I don't have the name of the lady listed as custodian but it has a long list of names. Ed Nutter

I have a partial list of those buried in Jackson Cemetery in Clarksburg. I found it on microfilm # 0163,927 in Salt Lake City. Does anyone have the history of this cemetery? It would help me determine which Dulaney SMITH is buried there (no dates given). Dulaney SMITH b. < 1760 d. 1811 was my 3rd grgrandfather. Also buried there: Dulaney's grandson Charles B.(of Dulaney Eyeliff & Louisa)1845-1856 Henrietta PAYNE (daughter of Dulaney) 1820-1853 Thomas R. SMITH (son of Dulaney) 1805-1860 Thanking you in advance for any help, Becky in CA

Hi, Is there any history publications about the Poor Farm we may purchase, read, etc? Where are the records kept, if they were, about residents? Dee __________________________________________________ Organize all of your coupon and freebie email into one FREE email box. http://www.mycoupons.com

Hi, I am interested in the cemetery records also. I found my gr gr grandfather's death certificate, Stephen Hughes [1835-1916], it stated that he was born in the poorhouse....is this possible or a typo? His place of death was N/A. He was the 7th child, where would the other children have been if he and his mother were in the poorhouse? Was it possible for complete families to live in the poorhouse? I also can find no death record for this wife, Sobrina Davis [1838-?], d/o Zebulon Davis and Mary Josephine Davis. Any help appreciated. Wanda

Hi Betty: My name is Bette L. May & I saw your email. Can you tell me how to find the Harrison co. Poorhouse records?& cemetary burial records. I have a grandfather ( George Cecil Exline - Exaline ) buried there. Any information would be most appreciated. Thank You, Bette

There where 2 cemeterys the one right behind the poor house was moved to the top of the rich section. After 1932 they started burring them at the top of the hill beside the 4-H center . Basilly it is inbetween the County Club Car dealership and the 4-h center.

I never realized there was a cemetery there. I was raised at West Milford & passed the PoorFarm many, many times before it was torn down, It was to a child, a beautiful, big , brick, house. It took me a while to understand why it was called "poor".
