Dear Mary Hartman, I notice that you had a lookup for the Shrout family. I have a sister of my Ggrandfather married to a George W. Shrout b. Nov. 24, 1848 parents Beckwith B. and Caroline Shrout. George W. married Sarah C. Mooreland in Grant county (West) Virginia on June 6, 1871 performed by Wm. Michael. Is there any connection with your Shrouts? If so, do you have any other info on George W. and Sarah's family?? I have recently found that many of the earlier people traveled north and south in this area ( up and down the rivers and creeks) before the main roads were built, so they may be of the same family. I appreciate your time. Thanks! Jim Moreland
