Remembering my grandmother Margaret ("Maggie" nee Mellon) Miller, talking about the Moomaus. She was married to Howard "HD" Miller. Both are interred in Fairview Cemetery in Gore, VA.

My ancestor, Captain Thomas Wagoner was one of these men I beleive. Thomas was a Captain in the French and Indian War and most likely into the Revolutionary War as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lonny J.

In the 1850 census under the column "place of birth" I have noticed the letters "NG". This could be a state, territory, or country. Does anyone know what "NG" stands for ? Thanks Randy

Miss Goldie White visited her friend Miss Percy Harvey at Blaine part of the holiday season. Taken from the 6 January 1911 Elk Garden News. Does anyone have a connectionn to either of these? I have a picture of a Harvey and my great aunt was named Goldie White. Thanks Thelma

Hi , saw your posting on Cannon. I also have a Cannon in my family (sort of). A Thomas Cannon from the Keyser area had a relationship with my Grandmother Grace Smith from Burlington. She got pregnant and gave birth to my father in 1919. she had him out of wedlock because Thomas Cannon was an older married man with a family of his own. It is beleived Thomas continued to see Grace and help support her son. Grace moved to Miami Fla. in 1921 because of the embarrasment of having a child out of wedlock in those times. Cannon continued to send her money while in Miami. We also think he worked or owned a mill in or around the keyser area. If this sounds like the same person let me know more information. I also have a picture of Thomas.

On this site that George tells us about was the following: "Captain Michael Cressap who lived in Old Town, Maryland, came over into Hampshire County during the early part of theRevolution and organized a company of riflemen. They marched to Boston and featured in several small skirmishes there. Cressap returned with them as far as New York where he died and was buried. The men in this company from Frankfort include the names of Johnson, Ashby, Wagoner, Williams, Powell, Pew, Harris, and Miller." Does anyone know the first names of these men of Frankfort who marched to Boston during the Revolutionary War? Thanks, Lonny J.

Thank you George for the site on the community of Frankfort (Alaska, Ft Ashby). I not only found it interesting but it lists several names that are in my tree and gave me some information that I did not have. If anyone had relatives around Frankfort Community late 1800's to early 1900's you should check out that site. Sharon Malone Knotts

Several inquiries have referred to Frankfort. Here is some good information. http://www.wvculture.org/history/agrext/frankfrt.html George Mitchell

Very limited unproven genealogy of Robert Grapes of James who lived in Mineral County,WV. Will respond to appropriate questions related to his lineage.

You can write to the Bureau of Vital Registration Ofc. Capitol Complex, Bldg. 3, Room 516, Charleston, WV. 25305. Send them $5.00 with name & date if you know it. Also send a SASE, it is quciker that way. Hope this is helpful. Also there is a form on the web that you can print out to send. I just typed in WV government and went from there.
