Posted on: Jackson County, WV Bios Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/JacksonBios/139 Surname: WARTH, COX, FLEMING, TAVENNER, FLEEHART, DOUGLASS, THORN ------------------------- Warth Family John Warth came with his brothers to the Mill Creek section about 1800 or 1801. His father is said to have been John Warth, and to have been of German descent, and to have migrated from the Valley of Virginia to the Kanawha River about 1796. John Warth lived at Warth's Bottom, which had been named for him, after he bought land and settled there. He was a wealthy man in his day, and held many positions of trust and honor. He enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him. John Warth was born in 1771. He married Priscilla Cox, and died in 1837. Of their children, I have the following: Judge John A. Warth. He was one of the leading legal men in the Kanawha Valley, and was author of Warth's Code. He died at Malden, Kanawha County. Hannah Warth, married Bartholomew Fleming, one of the earliest pioneers of Ravenswood. George H. Warth. Priscilla Harriet, married Isaac Tavenner, who lived at Elizabeth. Judge L.N.Tavener was their son. George Warth, brother of John, married Ruth Fleehart, who was probably of the Belleville Colony. They lived across the river from Ravenswood, in Ohio. Of their children, I find the name of one Robert A. Warth, who was born in 1800. He is said to have been born at Newton, in Roane County, and he lived in Jackson County, where he died at the age of 92. He had two daughters, one of whom married a Douglass, and the other a Thorn, who was living in Ravenswood, in 1905.
