I made my way to Marshall County when I found a third cousin through an inquiry on the Washington PA site. His documentation of the family he was seeking looked quite familiar, so I pulled out the census records for Joseph DOWLER in 1850. Sure enough, I in Columbus, Ohio had found a relative in San Jose CA! Shortly after that he emailed me about a great cemetery listing on the Marshall site. From then on, I was hooked. Mother's maternal grandmother was Mary Jane DOWLER Holmes, b.1844 in- as she apparently made quite clear- VA, not WV. Of course that was so, given her birthdate. The family moved to West Middletown about 1852. The Dowlers had traveled from Baltimore in the late 1790's to Brownsville PA, moving to Ohio/Marshall in about 1809. I am most interested in learning about the family in that early period. Peg [email protected]

On a related note, I just got an Interlibrary loaned copy of: The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families A Genealogical History of the Upper Monongahela Valley by Howard L. Leckey This is a terrific resource - especially if you happen to hook-up with one of the many families who are documented in the book. There are hundreds of "Pioneer Family" surnames listed in the index. "The Tenmile Country . . ." contains a fairly brief history of pioneer migrations in the 18th century - helpful, but I wish Leckey would have spent more time on this. Most of the book is the actual documentation of families that lived in the Upper Monongahela Valley. I should have the book 2 more weeks if someone wants to check with me on a surname.

Can someone tell me about these two books? I'm not familiar with them.

Hi Linda - Thanks for all the effort in managing the WVMARSHA site. - I'm sure it can tend to be a full time job. My roots from Marshall Co. ---- My father, Howard Boggs HOFFNER was born in McMechan in 1899. And my greatgrandfather, John J. ROBINSON on my mother's side, was born in Marshall Co. in 1835. Have many roots also in the GreenePA, FayettePA, WetzelWV, and BelmontOH counties. researching: Boggs, Goodwin, Hoffner, Hubbs, Province, Robinson Lou Hoffner Moore, OK (formally of Parkersburg and New Martinsville)

This is the newer history of Marshall county, WV..written in 1984....people submitted their family stories and histories...We have been trying to get them to print more but with no luck...It is a large book and sold for about $50.00 Many counties have done these books and it is a rather large project to under take. Phyllis

Here is the link to the contents of the panhandle book.... <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~indian/pan.htm">Pan-Handle-Table of Contents</A> Phyllis

If someone knows the answer to the question ... >Can someone tell me about these two books? I'm not familiar with them. > >"History of the Panhandle", which is >"History of Marshall County" that was published by the Historical >Society (NOT the Powell book..) please post answer to the list ....

Hi- I am Marjorie M. Matzen and my great grandparents lived in Marshall Co. W.V. at least from 1838 - 1842, moved to Greene Co., Pa. They were Gideon and Leah Driver. Leah's maiden name was Duvall. Any information on them would be appreciated. Thank you. Marj

Hi! My name is Kay L. Mason(not to be confused with V. Kay Mason!). I've been doing research on my families since 1991 when I got some rough paperwork from my grandmother. She had gotten the pages from her late sister-in-law, Hildred Mason Bonar. I still have lots of relatives in Marshall Co., although I'd never set foot in the state until 1993. I've been priviledged to meet many cousins during my time, including the prodigious Vernon Anderson(hi there!), Karen Hucko, and Dawn Hurd. I hope to meet many more in May! My names are Mason, Neely, Shepherd, Young, Gorby, McDowell, Lewis, Stewart, Richmond, and Alley, primarily. Kay L. (Mason) Mason (My husband's Masons are from Ontario)

(I notice that some of you are on both the "mail mode" AND the "digest mode" lists...???) Remember that I would like the Mailing List to BE our Virtual Genealogy Society and I hope all members will participate in some way. Please send a message of introduction...even if you have already done so....... You can tell whatever you want to about yourself but please include the Marshall County families you are related to and/or researching. If you have something you would like to share, such as a genealogy file, a will, or whatever, just send it to me. I am still looking for Revolutionary War info and all things military (Remember that is just my "starter" page!)... I would like more birth & death records...more marriages from the courthouse... AND, the elusive Riverview cemetery list that may be available at the Historical Society. One more thing about the genealogy text files.... Some of you have written to say that you don't want to send yours because it doesn't compare to the voluminous files submitted by Vernon Anderson. Granted, his are a hard act to follow, but PLEASE send yours. In addition to helping others, your file may result in new information for yourself. (I have a PEARL file that is skeletal compared to Vernon's but I am going to publish it in hopes of GETTING more information.) On the Bulletin Board, I have started a list of things to buy, sell or trade. For example, I would like to buy the "History of the Panhandle", which is apparently out of print now, according to Heritage Books.. I would also like to buy the "History of Marshall County" that was published by the Historical Society (NOT the Powell book..) The information about the "Non-Virtual Get-together" proposed for May 14 or 15th will be updated as needed on the page <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvmarsha/get.htm">A Non-Virtual Get- together. </A> If you are planning to attend, please state your preference for date and restaurant. (The majority will prevail.) Daniele Bougher is going to make any necessary arrangements, depending on the number of people interested in attending. The 1870 & 1880 censuses should be completed within the next couple months. Yesterday, I copied the last districts from the microfilm and will be mailing them to the volunteers who are doing the typing. Kay L. Mason is doing ALL of the 1880 census, which is a nightmare of a job. She also did a district of the 1870... Karen Hucko is working on her own nightmare, the 1870 census ....She now has some help in the persons of Beverly Todd of Texas and Garry Foster of Florida. (THANKS TO ALL!!) I don't want to monopolize this list by being the only one who sends messages!!! I would like to hear from the 194 members............ Finally, .....The motto for my genealogy pages, "A service not a business...." originated from the words of my sister, Lori Cunningham Whitwam, of Otsego, MN. Thanks.

Hi everyone, This week, I was lucky to receive some "junk" that my cousin was going to throw away. It's amazing what some consider junk :) Anyways, I have a copy of the 1976 Telephone directory for the Wheeling/Moundsville and vicinity area. It mentions the towns of: Bellaire, OH Beech Bottom, WV Benwood, WV Bridgeport, OH Glen Dale, WV Graysville, WV Martins Ferry, OH McMechen, WV Moundsville, WV Shadyside, OH St. Clairsville, OH Tiltonsville, OH Triadelphia, WV Valley Grove, WV West Liberty, WV Wheeling, WV There's a white pages for residences, and also yellow pages for businesses. There's also a section that's lists which phone number prefixs are for each area. (In case, anyone might have an old number and can't trace where it went to). Happy to do look-ups for anyone who might have use for info during that time. Please email me direct at the address below. Karen E. Cresap [email protected]

Marshall County Researchers, For those of you requesting "lookups" for the 1790 Virginia and Pennsylvania census here is some background on this "first census of the United States." The 1790 census was the first enumeration of United States inhabitants, covering 17 present states. Enumerators compiled, then stored these records in Washington. Data on 6 states, including Virginia, were destroyed when the British burned the Capitol in 1812. At the time of this census, the Union consisted of 12 states, Rhode Island being admitted in 1790. The present state, Kentucky, was included in the Virginia census. Similarly Maine, Alabama, and Mississippi records are included in other states. Of course, West Virginia at that time was officially a part of Virginia. Pennsylvania's census is largely intact. It is organized by counties that existed in Pennsylvania in 1790. Pennsylvania's officially enumerated population of 434,373 was second in size to the much larger Virginia (747,610). Virginia's 1790 census has been partially restored subsequent to the 1812 fire. By compiling some manuscript lists of Virginia enumerations made in 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785 - plus the tax lists of Greenbrier County from 1783 to 1786 - officials have partially restored the 1790 Virginia census. 370,000 inhabitants in 39 counties exist in the 1790 Virginia Census. 377,000 inhabitants in 41 counties are not included. Also included is an enumeration list for the city of Richmond. The 1790 census is by "Heads of Families." Data included in this census lists: Name of the Head of the Family Number of free white males of 16 years age and upwards, including the head of the family. Number of free white males under 16 years age. Number of free white females of 16 years age and upwards, including the head of the family. Number of all other free persons. Number of slaves. Hope this information on the 1790 census helps in your search.

Hi everyone: To introduce myself. I grew up in Moundsville but haven't lived there for 36 years. Do visit family often, however. I'm researching the names WALTON, MOWL, BAIRD and GRANDSTAFF in Marshall County. My Walton line came into Moundsville from Greene County, PA in 1868 but believe Bairds and Grandstaffs have a longer history in Marshall County. All branches of paternal and maternal ancestors were settlers in Greene County and Washington County, PA, and Wetzel County, WV. Pennsylvania names are RHOME, MAIN, STAGGERS, SHULTZ. Wetzel County names are HOSTUTLER, ANDERSON and LEMLEY. This Marshall County page is the best! My thanks to Linda especially, and to everyone else who contributes. Alice Walton Mason

I am researching the WHITE family in Marshall Co. Apparently James and his brothers migrated there from Green Co., PA prior to 1850. Settling in Cameron twp. and later 1870 Webster. My ggg-Grandfather Edward was James's son. He was killed in the Civil War, but left a Widow Anne and 6 children. She and her two sons, Chris and John were in the 1880 census in Webster twp. James first wife was Martha but in the 1870 census he had remarried a Mrs. Maria Bloomfield. They had two little girls and her two boys. He may have died before the 1880 census. Any help appreciated.

Hello fellow Marshall County researchers, Kim Chambers here. Although a neophyte to serious genealogical research and especially to on-line research, I am enthusiastically entering the genealogical community. Linda Cunningham Fluharty's work on the Marshall County virtual society and webgen pages are two of the best specific genealogical sites I have found so far. Much thanks to Linda! At Linda's suggestion I am updating you on the nature of my current Marshall County and related searches. The two principle lines I am researching at the moment are the CHAMBERS and CROW lines. My own ancestry in these two lines traces as follows: Edward Chambers (b. 1750), Josiah Chambers (b.1788), Solomon Chambers (1812-1882), James Alexander Chambers (1841-1926), Oscar Solomon Chambers (1870-1854), & J W Chambers (1911-1978). Jacob Crow, Peter Crow (1763-1826), Jacob Crow II (1798-1884), John Wesley Crow (1836-1914), Clara Belle Crow (1873-1965 & wife of Oscar Solomon Chambers). I am also a descendant in the Rudolph WELLMAN (1758-1836) line (much thanks to Vernon Anderson & Blaine Standiford on their information related to the Wellman line) and in the Skelton STANDIFORD (b. abt. 1777) line (again thanks to Blaine). Other lines of relation & interest: WILLIAMS, CAMPBELL, TERRELL/TERRILL, DORSEY, MERRILL, WIANT and especially the OGLE line on which I am finding little information. Yesterday Linda added my name to the Marshall County page under the CHAMBERS and CROW surnames list and to do lookups related to the 1790, first Pennsylvania and Virginia census. Correspondence on any of the above genealogical lines or related to the 1790 census is most welcome. A pleasure to be in touch.

George & Janet, I would like to share MILLER information. Phyllis Miller Fleming Shelbyville, IN

My Marshall County roots stem from (forgive the pun) my g-grandparents, Archibald James and Rebecca Jane (WARREN) WILEY, of Fairview, WV. Their son, Edwin F. Wiley, married Melissa J. McHENRY, who ancestral surnames also include WHITE, MOORE, & CULP. I recently learned of a familiar tie with Wilson Shannon WILEY, one of the founders of WILEYVILLE in Wetzel County, from a bio there supplied by Sydna Wiley (Westerman) Julian. If anyone knows how to contact her, or knows of other descendants of that family, I'd really like to correspond with them, also. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = James Wiley, AKA: [email protected]
