Carlisle, I, too, am delighted with Linda and Tammy and the Marshall Co. pages and particularly the Burch Ridge Cemetery. I have emailed Jim Wiley with responses regarding the territory. Now to Burch Ridge: in 1993 my sister fought her way through the brambles looking for the stones of our ggrandparents. That lineage is known to us as LOWRY but we have WV records suggesting the name was LOWREY, which shows on the Marshall Co. Webpages, despite the fact that the Burch Ridge Cemetery stone whose picture my sister took is LOWRY for certain. John Lowry Jr. married Rebecca McHenry (daughter of James and Rebecca White McHenry) on 3 Jul 1851. They had five children James D. (on the Burch Ridge stone) m. Anna Bel Baker, Elvilda died at 3 years, Ruth Burn m. Peter Meeker, Helen M. m. Samuel Willison, and Bell Marga m. Charles Koch. Rebecca Lowry died between 1860-1866 it appears. John Lowry Jr. then m. Elizabeth Biddle, daughter of William and Mary Hendrickson Biddle 26 Aug 1866. Their children were Mary Belle died as a baby, Robert Lee died as a child, Ida m. a Mr. Mason, Rosalie m. Charles Carroll, Doliver who may be the same as James D. above by first marriage, and Clarissa (Sallie) m my grandfather Robert Edward Bell Jr. Elizabeth died 24 Sep 1888 which does not show on the webpage for the cemetery. So the LOWRYS/LOWREYS on the cemetery listing are husband, wife one, wife two, and son of first marriage. As I shared with Jim Wiley, I have a copy of a deed from John and Elizabeth Lowry dated 23 Jun 1888 "for a free neighborhood burying ground" in Franklin District of 80 poles more or less to the following trustees: Jasper Burch, Jesse Burch, Freeman Coulter, Talbott Burch, and John McHenry. Note that Elizabeth Lowry died three months later and was buried there. How, however, do many earlier burials also appear? On 1 Nov 1867, John and Elizabeth deeded land for a school on the Ridge Road leading to Fairview in Franklin Twp. My sister was told there was a school across the road from the Burch Ridge Cemetery along with a church and possibly the Grace Chapel Cemetery which appears on Mrs. Briggs original inventory and where the name of Thomas McHenry appears, even though my sister took a picture of his stone in Burch Ridge Cemetery. Very confusing for me My major hunt is for John Lowry Sr. and his wife Ruth White Lowry, both born in PA per censuses but who died in Marshall Co. 18 Feb 1861 and 2 Jul 1876 respectively. I can't locate their burial places. I am relatively certain that the Ruth White who married John Lowry Sr. was a sister of the Rebecca White who married James McHenry. So those hills were filled with courtship among neighbors I guess. Can you or anyone confirm or clarify any of this? Howard Bell
