Good Morning Everyone, Could someone possibly look in the 1900 Mason County Census to see if there is a young girl by the name of Jessie Chaffin. She would be 10 years old. If there is such a girl, could you please tell be her parents names and the names of any siblings? This is my "brick wall". Nine years later, she would marry my Great Grandfather, Jessie Coleman, from West Columbia. I have been able to get back to 1792 on the Coleman side so far. But I can only get back to Jessie Chaffin's birth in 1890. Thanks in advance for your help, Gary Coleman

Need marriage date and location for Henry Miller and Catherine Gilpin. Catherine was married to Charles Lucas in WOod Co, WV and had sons Martin and Ike and daughter Mandy. I need to know if her marriage to Henry Miller occurred before or after her marriage to Mr. Lucas. I suspect it was after and if so, I need divorce information (or death confirmation) on the Lucas marriage. Also--what happened to the Lucas children? THis family is driving me nuts!

Still plugging away at those elusive Millers... Looking for information on the parents of one William Miller (Possibly William H Miller) THe one Im looking for is the confirmed son of Henry and Catherine (Gilpin) Miller. He was born 4 Jan 1888 in Mason Co. and died 17 October 1972 (where???) and is probably buried in the Ravenswood Cemetary. Need to prove or disprove that. My family says he never married, but I show a William Miller marrying a Mary Jane Scarberry in Jackson Co WV on 6 Nov 1906. Can anyone shed some light?
