Sue, You should have been around for Job when he was receiving all the advice and analyses of his problems from his three friends. He probably would have been helped much more if he could have recounted the many good times when God was blessing him instead of having to listen to the bad diagnosis and indictments from his wife and friends. My point is that the patient was being served as well as yourself in getting them to talk while you listened; a real win-win situation.

Phyllis: I think the cemetery that you are referring to is on the road past the Francis Creek Church just before you get to the guard shack on the coal haul road, you can go on across the road and turn left and come out on Laurel Branch of Twelve Pole where the Maynards Cemetery is. Also i have a first cousin that is buried in the Meeks Cemetery, Grover Marcum who married Pearlie Kinser (dau. of George Kinser). I remember seeing the grave marker of a Ed Meeks who was born about 1890 or near that time, i recall seeing him when i was a kid way back in the 50's. Bye Benny
Hello Phyllis, Its great that you have gotten the teenagers so interested in their family trees and the cemeteries. I believe it should start young...thank you. My question is, my great grandparents (Willis and Louranie Vance Lucas) and other relations are buried in the Maynard Cemetery at the bend of the river on Sand Creek Rd, Lincoln Co....do you know of anyone of your students who may have done a complete listing of all those buried in that cemetery? Many of the graves are marked with "Witness Stones," and I was told that my other great grand parents, Ulysses Grant Nelson and Matilda Dalton Nelson were buried in that cemetery, as also maybe Ulysses' mother, Matilda Maynard Nelson (b. 1832, d. 1912)..... But according to Ulysses Nelson's death certificate in Logan Co., it was listed that he was buried in the "Nelson Cemetery"....and during the 1930's Ulysses Nelson and his second wife Loucinda "Grandmaw Lovey" Price Wallace Nelson had been living on Hamilton Creek, Gill, Lincoln Co., WV....and supposedly, there was a branch named 'Ulysses Nelson Branch' or 'Nelson Branch.' Earl Hager of Chapmanville remembers this and has told me he will ride with me to Hamilton Creek to show me where the Nelson's all lived....but there is an ARNOLD/NELSON Family cemetery at the top of the ridge up the left hand fork of the Hamilton Creek, and requires a four wheel drive vehicle or four wheeler to get there. Ulysses' oldest brother Allen Nelson b. 1849 d. 1940 and his wives are buried in this cemetery, as well as, many of his 23 children and descendants. They buried Allen Nelson's youngest daughter Kathleen Nelson Estep in Dec 2004...she was b. 1914. Anyway, are you familiar with any NELSON cemeteries on Sand Creek Rd....and what was known as Buck Lick Creek? Though I do suspect Ulysses and his first wife, my great grandmother Matilda Dalton Nelson were buried on Hamilton Creek/Gill, as Matilda Dalton Nelson died in 1911.... and in the 1910 Lincoln Co., WV cencus Ulysses G. and Matilda J. Nelson (vist #80/80) were listed in Laurel Hill District. Linza (Linzy) age 14, Allen age 12, Wm. M(cKinnley) aka Little Bill Nelson, age 10; Ward, Josie (my grandmother), Matilda (Ulysses' mother age 82, widow of Farmer); John M. Mainord, nephew, age 14. (Do not know parents). AND, can you get me in touch with anyone that does DALTON genealogy, specifically the descendants of JOHN DALTON and MINERVA FARLEY (d/o John Clay FARLEY and Rebecca ELKINS) parents of Matilda J. Dalton Nelson, (b. 1876, d. 1911 of TB)? Any leads would be great, Thanks, Sandi Chapmanville --- Harts High School <hartshighschool@yahoo.com> wrote: > One of my students brought in a nice Workman > cemetery located up Francis Creek toward Penn Coal > in Lincoln Co.

Hi all, The summer 2006 issue of GOLDENSEAL magazine for which I just received, has the front cover with a photograph of Elaine (Moore) Purkey of Sand Creek Rd, Lincoln Co., WV, standing with her guitar....sideline reads...Activist, Songwriter, Elaine Purkey. Also, an article on the Blacklung movement in 1969. A great article on Crum, Wayne Co., WV.... Great magazine.... Many of you should submit your stories, memories, and photos to this great magazine about Logan Co. Have a great weekend. Sandi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Phyllis, Thanks to all the students and faculty at Harts High School for all the great and necessary work done for Genealogy. Family history is needed for all of us to trace our families heritage. My Grandmother Celia Ann Dillon, twin sisters and a host of other relatives are buried at a cemetery called Kinser Cemetery. All I can remember is that the cemetery is on the Fork of Harts where the Adams family lived. Ie., Ernest Adams. I also know that there was a small one (l) room school house just below the cemetery. This school building was later used as a church. There are a big number of graves at this cemetery and I never knew the name of it until I found my grandmothers death certificate. She died in 1946. Some years later I attended a Sunday Meeting with dinner of the grounds and also a funeral for one of my uncles. The funeral was held at the school house/church and buried in this cemetery. My father says that this part of Harts is in Logan County. If you do not know of this cemetery perhaps you can put me in touch with someone who can help me. My ancestors are Dillon/Sansom/Dingess/Bailey. Lisa has done some work on the Dillon side, but didn't include this cemetery on her page. I have lost contact with Lisa. I know her grandmother and my first cousin passed away recently (Sylvia Dillon Farris) Thanks for any help you can give me. My parents are Rena (Dillon) Sansom and George Sansom. Sansom is sometimes spelled Samson.

I'm so sorry I truly do not know. But you seem like a real nice person to have as a cousin. Saundra
Hi Debbie, My mothers mother was Iva Williamson, her parents were Ida(Browning) and Richard Williamson. I really wished I know more, but everyone that know anything is either dead or not willing to talk about it. You mentioned you knew some Meek's' , my grandfather was Henry Meeks from Verdonville, WV. We actually inherited his property there, no one as of yet has been down there. We are just paying property taxes on it. To tell you the truth, my grandfather wasn't a well like soul, and that left my family with a lot of unhappy memories of West Virginia. If by chance, if any of the names I mentioned ring a bell, would you please e-mail back. Thank You for your nice reply. Saundra

Hi Sue and Kathy, I don't believe that Emaline Canterbury's mother's maiden name was Mary Polly ELKINS. I've never seen any official documentation which lists her maiden name, and I think I know why some think she must have been an Elkins. (In my opinion, they were mistaken.) I believe that it has been assumed that Polly's maiden name was Elkins because she lived with the Uriah Elkins family after her husband Samuel Canterbury died. But whoever assumed that probably didn't realize that Polly's daughter Mary Ann Canterbury had married Uriah Elkins. So Polly was Uriah's mother-in-law, not his sister. IF Polly's maiden name was Elkins, then she wasn't the daughter of Absalom Elkins. Absalom Elkins named each of his 10 children when he made his will in 1876, and Polly wasn't included, even though both Absalom Elkins and Polly Canterbury lived with the Uriah Elkins family in their final years and are seen together in the same household in the 1870 census. Two daughters of Samuel and Polly Canterbury married sons of Absalom Elkins - Mary Ann Canterbury married Uriah Elkins in 1850, and Mariah Jane Canterbury married William C. Elkins in 1853. Samuel Canterbury died before 1860, and in the 1860 census Polly and her youngest daughter Emaline Canterbury were living with Uriah and Mary Ann Canterbury Elkins. In 1862, Mary Ann Canterbury Elkins died, leaving Uriah with 5 little girls, the youngest a tiny baby. I'm sure that Polly Canterbury was a huge help to Uriah at that time. It was 4 years before Uriah married Martha Cosby Stafford. In the 1880 census, the birth place of Polly's parents was given as North Carolina, and we know that Absalom Elkins and his wife were born in Virginia. We can follow Absalom Elkins in the records through the years, in Virginia, then in West Virginia. Since Polly's birth place was given as North Carolina, it seems unlikely to me that Polly's maiden name was either Elkins OR Ellis. I wonder if we might find a death certificate for one of Polly's children which might list Polly's maiden name?

Sorry Saundra but I don't recall those Meeks. The ones I know are from Francis Creek of Little Harts but I bet they are related somehow. Keep searching, I am sure you will find a link somewhere!

I had a great aunts marry Brady Williamson, son of Albert and Polly Williamson of Little Harts. And also a great great aunt married Robert Williamson. Most of their children lived at Chapmanville, Ralph, Romie, Russell, Robie, Roy, Robert, Hassell, Okey, Donna Jean and Evelyn. I haven't done alot of research on the Williamsons other than the immediate stuff. Also had a great aunt marry DennieWilliams BUT his siblings went by the name of Wiliamson. They lived in Chapmanville. HIs wifes name was Ruby, sons, Bill, Rush, daughters Irene and Shirley. Are you related to any of these?
