Hi list again, I found this among some files that I had. This lists Elizabeth McGary as Hiram's first wife and Elizabeth Plant as his second. I don't know if these dates fit or not. If he married Elzabeth McGary in 1827 she would be only 7 yrs. old. if born in 1813. Perhaps Elizabeth Plant was the first wife and McGary the second. It makes sense since this looks like his children were all by Elizabeth Plant. 4 Hiram Laughery Sr. 1803 - Aft. 1870 b: 1803 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: Aft. 1870 .................. +Elizabeth "Betsy" (Collins) Mc Gary 1820 - Aft. 1870 b: 1820 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: Aft. 1870 ............. *2nd Wife of Hiram Laughery Sr.: .................. +Elizabeth Plant Abt. 1813 - Bef. 1865 b: Abt. 1813 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: Bef. 1865 ................... 5 Harriet Laughery 1832 - b: 1832 in Harrison County, West Virginia ....................... +W Gain ........................ 6 Elizabeth J Laughery Abt. 1852 - b: Abt. 1852 in Harrison County, West Virginia ............................ +William M Stier 1842 - b: October 28, 1842 in Harrison County, West Virginia ............................. 7 Lillie Stiers 1875 - 1946 b: 1875 d: 1946 in buried in Coplin Cemetery Methodist, Wolf Summit WV .................................. +Ziba Newton Matheny 1868 - 1951 b: March 21, 1868 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: 1951 in buried in Coplin Cemetery Methodist, Wolf Summit WV ................... 5 George Laughery Abt. 1827 - Abt. 1865 b: Abt. 1827 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: Abt. 1865 ....................... +Elizabeth Gain ........................ 6 William Norman Laughery 1854 - b: July 28, 1854 in Harrison County, West Virginia ................... 5 Granville Laughery Abt. 1828 - b: Abt. 1828 in Harrison County, West Virginia d: in Tyler Co, WV ....................... +Nancy E.
