I am a new subscriber who is seeking info on Askew family of Belmont Co. possibly the St Clairsville area. My Grt grt grandfather was born in Ohio Co. WV. now Marshall Co. His name was Richard Parrott and I have found his lineage from his father, also Richard Parriott (variation in spelling). My grt. grt. grandfather Richard was born in 1811. He married Mary Ann Askew in Montgomery O. Hamilton Co. in 1833. Mary Ann Askew was the daughter of David Askew; bn. 1765 Died Hamilton Co. Ohio 1854. His wife Mary (maiden name unknown) was born 1773 died 1850. I do not have any idea where they were from. I do know that there was a Brevet Brigadier General Franklin Askew who was born at St. Clairsville, Ohio Jan. 9 1837. He was an accomplished military officer during the civil war. With the close proximity of St. Clairsville Oh. to Moundsville W.V. I am wondering if there is a connection, and if any one has any info on Gen. Franklin Askew or his family. Thank you.
