Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/WV/Jackson/2019 Surname: Greathouse, Mason, Powell ------------------------- Amazing how easy it is to connect with so many people. My g-g-grandfather was Zeddock Greathouse, born 1820 in Harrison County but in Jackson County by 1860. He married Sarah/Susan Mason. Thier daughter Emmaline maried William H Powell and moved down into Mason County. William & Emmaline's daughter Amanda Jane married George T. Plants. George & Amanda were the parents of Nina who married my grandpa Ernest Riffle. Zeddock seems to hae left Jackson Co. when his wife died. The children were "farmed" out, got married or just left the area. Still have a lot of work to do on this line, but Zeddock is a son of Michael Greathouse and then the line is pretty well established. Not familiar real quickly with your John but there must have been a couple dozen Johns; Long John, Preacher John & Prophet John come to mind. Thanks for the response, Don
