Good morning, I wish to thank all of you for the opportunity to do some CSA lookups this past week. However, some of my descendants are coming to visit, and we shall spend some time at the graves of some of our ancestors. And, the library book is due back Tuesday. So, as of 4:45 am EDT on Saturday, I cannot do any more lookups from The Giles, Allegheny and Jackson Artillery by Keith Bohannon. Have a nice weekend, and take a moment to think about those ancestors who fought and died in all the wars we fought. Best wishes, Bill Hobbs

Can anyone identify Nancy (???) HARVEY, wife of this James G. HARVEY. We already know she is not Nancy SNIDOW. We don't know her maiden name. I can't find a marriage for this James HARVEY and Nancy (???). Monroe County, West Virginia - 1850 Census by Louise Perkins Page1 11/11 HARVEY James G. 45 Fa VA Nancy 45 Caroline T. 22 Eliza J. 20 Clementine G. 18 m. Vandalia B. 16 La James T. 12 Amanda 10 Mary E. 5 Rebecca A. 1 I have the marriage information on Vandalia, but who did the other children marry? Any clues? Vandalia HARVEY (also called Van Daily) married Nancy PACK on 27 Oct 1859 in Mercer Co., (W)VA. Many thanks in advance! Lainie Hendrix

By the way, my sister went to school with a Margureitte from Peterstown.

Thanks Margureitte. I'll chance it as I pass through.

In regards to the Monroe Co Hist Society, As far as I know there is no certain hours for them to be open, they can not get enough volunteers to keep it open, Several people have complianed abt it, but if you can't get volunteers you just can't keep it open all the time. All I can tell you is best of luck on your way through. Margureitte from WV

Thanks, Jane. I'll be in that area several days and through Union a couple of times. I will call though to see what's up.

Bill, It is almost "hit or miss" about finding the Monroe County Historical Society open. It is all done on a volunteer basis whenever someone can get over there. Unfortunately there is no schedule. I would suggest, though, that you might drop a note to the MCHS (P.O. Box 465, Union, WV 24983) and ask them if anyone will be there when you are in town. Another good place to visit while you are there is the Monroe County Library which is just around the corner and down the road about 1/4 mile on Route 219. I would hope, though, that since this is the bicentennial year that the MCHS would try to have someone there as often as possible. I'm trying to find a name and telephone number for you (their March quarterly newsletter didn't mention the names of ANY of the officers, but you could try and call Jay Banks who is pretty knowledgeable about most everything that goes on with respect to the MCHS. His telephone # is 304-772-5208. Good luck. ...jane

Does anyone on the list know the days'/hours the Monroe Historical Society is open? I'll be down that way soon and hope to stop in. Bill Johnson Harrisburg, PA

I have info. on Sarah Haynes, Isaac Paxton and David Bowyer if anyone needs it. Louise http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/3566/ updated 4/26/1999
