My great-grandmother was the daughter of Marcena Vance Reeves and the granddaughter of James & Barbara Vance. She had a set of twins and a set of triplets and there may have been more who didn't survive. My Dad's 2nd wife lost twins 3 months into her pregnancy. Luckily everyone else in the family were singletons! I did notice a lot of twins when looking that census records in WV. ----- Original Message ----- From: "calisesi calisesi" <calisesi1@yahoo.com> To: <WVLOGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [WVLOGAN] roflmho > Must be my husband's aunt.....she had three sets of twins, one set of > triplets..... > > Of course he told me this AFTER I was pregnant > > Christine Elkins <-----mother of twins > > gracie <g.winters@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > A census taker in a rural area went up to a farmhouse and knocked. > When a woman came to the door, he asked her how many children she had and > their ages. > She said, "Les' see now, there's the twins, Sally and Billy, they're > thirty-two. > And the twins, Seth & Beth, they're twenty-six. > And the twins, Penny and Jenny, they're twenty-four ...

That's it, Shelby. There is confusion about a grand aunt's birth certificate - Boone or Raleigh. They lived in Glen Daniel and in Whitesville. She was Essie Elkins wife of Golden Mullins. Her father was Dan, Danny, Daniel Elkins and her mother was Mary Rosetta Stone. Thanks.

You are probably right, cousin Shelby. Believe it or not, this came through the Blankenship mailing list. I am wondering about the Blankenships now.

A census taker in a rural area went up to a farmhouse and knocked. When a woman came to the door, he asked her how many children she had and their ages. She said, "Les' see now, there's the twins, Sally and Billy, they're thirty-two. And the twins, Seth & Beth, they're twenty-six. And the twins, Penny and Jenny, they're twenty-four ... " "Hold on!" said the census taker, "Did you get twins EVERY time?" The woman answered, "Heck no, there were hundreds of times we didn't get nothin."
Anita, Glen Rogers is in Wyoming County. This Mine shut down sometime in the late 1950s. Lee
Logan County Researchers, I am interested in having access to a book called _The Wayne County, West Virginia Wilsons and Their Related Families: a Genealogical History of Progenitors James and Sarah (Mounts) Wilson and Their Descendants_by James Everett Wilson. I used OCLC First Search to determine that the book is owned by several libraries. I attempted to interlibrary loan it but was told that all copies are reference and can not be lent. I searched www.abebooks.com, www.alibris.com and www.amazon.com Of the three, Amazon seems to have had copies in the past but currently has none. Does anyone on the list have a copy of this book? Does anyone have a source where I might buy the book? Many thanks, Ada Wilson Kent Worthington, OH
Shelby, I can't tell you by mileage, but I can tell you there is quite a distance driving time. Glen Rogers is on the far end of Raleigh County from Glen Jean. Glen Jean is in Fayette County, pretty much in the middle of the county, just about 10 minutes from here. If I remember correctly, that part of Raleigh County had several mine explosions back in the day. Eccles Mine blew 4 times. Anita
Judy, There are lots of privately owned fishing cabins along the New River. Same goes for the Gauley River as well. Sometimes the owners will rent them out for a weekend or so, but most just use them for themselves. Anita
