Dear Guy (and list) What a GREAT POST, Guy. Thank You! I have a question for you (being heavily "engulfed" in the McHENRY debacle of trying to find out who really belonged to whom). Your # 7--LAWSON SIMEON PARRIOTT, which you quote as being born on 10 Jan 1827 in Moundsville and died 27 Feb 1883 and that he Married Mary McHENRY on "28 MAY 1847" and that Mary died on 5 Aug 1883. My questions: 1. The Marriage date of May 28, 1847 must be in error. On Page 25 of Marshall County WV Marriages 1835-1889 (Wes Cochran Compiler), this marriage is given: Simeon PARRIOTT, age 27 married MARCH 16, 1856 Mary J. McHENRY, age 20 2. I note that the oldest child listed of this couple is Mary Lydia (1858-1938) wich would surely more closely validate the marriage date of 1856 rather than 1847. 3. Is his name "Lawson Simeon PARRIOTT" or is it "Simeon Lawson PARRIOTT?" I note that my only records of him show just "Simeon PARRIOTT" on the marriage record, and "Simeon L. PARRIOTT" from two other researchers. I also note that his fifth child "Lawson Simeon" is not listed as JUNIOR, nor he as Senior. That makes me wonder if daddy was Simeon Lawson and son was Lawson Simeon. Also, I most heartily concur with Vern Anderson that Mary J. McHENRY is indeed the daughter of John McHENRY and Mary (DYE) McHENRY. (If you are interested, John McHENRY was born June 21, 1803 in Virginia(WVA) and died in Marshall County December 1849. Mary (DYE) McHENRY {daughter of Mary (?) DYE) was born September 1812 and died April 1861. Their Children were: 1.. John McHENRY, born 1832, died Oct. 1870 2.. Anna B. McHENRY, born 1834, died 1912 married Philip CAMPBELL on Nov 1, 1853 (Marshall County) who was born 1832 and died in 1881. (He was the son of Edward and Mary (?) CAMPBELL. 3.. Mary J. McHENRY (discussed above) 4.. James McHENRY b. about 1837 (this is not James N. McHENRY as previously thought) 5.. Amanda McHENRY born about 1838 6.. William H. McHENRY born 1840 7.. Abigail J. McHENRY born 1843 8.. Esther P. McHENRY born 1844 died 1915 married Peter ORUM on May 3, 1866 (Marshall County). Peter was born March 25, 1845 and died October 5, 1884. 9.. Margaret E. McHENRY born December 12, 1845 married Davis H. RIGGLE on February 4, 1868 (Marshall County)--Davis was the son of Amos and Sarah A. (SHARP) RIGGLE and he was born about 1846 10. Winfield Scott McHENRY,born about 1848 and died before December 18, 1884. He was a bachelor and never married. Thanks again for the nice post. That is what this list is all about.
