Sharon - I have a John Smith Jr, who married Jane Jordan in 1835 in Pendleton Co., VA - would this be the same family? I know they had quite a few children, mostly names unknown, except for Tabitha (or Talitha) who married Joseph Hitt. Thanks, Terri

Pat, There is a premarital agreement between Nancy, daughter of John Skidmore, and her husband Rev. John George Dahmer that concerns this property. Pendleton County, WV, Deed Book 5:266-267, Toothman's abstracts pp. 191-92. The adjoiners include her brother Elisha (sic, should be Elijah who also received land west of Franklin in the father's estate. This adjoining land, however, is probably Elijah's land grant of 1794.) Note John's will states the Nancy receives the balance of the Folk place although the abstract of the will does not specify that name in describing the land given the other children.Perhaps you can trace the deeds of the Dahmers and Elijah Skidmore to discover the exact location, although some of this land may still be in the Dahmer family. Johnny Dahmer lives in that general area. You might also check the Rockingham County Minutes to see if the Folk-Skidmore deed appears. It is possible that the deed was not completed when John died.

In Rick Toothman's Pendleton Co. (West) Virginia Probate Records Book, page 44, John Skidmore's will of 1809 leaves the balance of the Folk place to daughter Nancy. Page 148 of the same book shows that Caty Fulk was paid money out of the Elijah Skidmore estate in 1817. My Fulk/Folk family lived just across the Shenandoah Mtn. from Pendleton Co. My ancestors John & Eve Fulk had a daughter Catherine "Caty" who would have been an adult in 1817. Does anyone know what or where the Folk place was that is in John Skidmore's will? Or know more details about the Elijah Skidmore whose estate paid Caty some money? A David Fulk drew a Revolutionary War penions while living in Pendleton Co. His application says he had 3 children, all of whom had moved out of state. Does anyone know details of David? I haven't been able to connect him with my Fulk family. Thanks.

Can anyone help me find out who owns the land the Smith Cem. is on. I also need someone to trace the land back to 1832. Will gladly pay for it. I am looking for anyone from the John and Susanna Smith family. Thank You, Sharon Pratt

Hi all, I received a message on Jan. 27th from WVPENDLE about the Harters and Harmans. In it the Will of Joshua Harman was given and in reading it, I found the name of Michael Mouse as being married to the daughter of Joshua, Phoebe. I am now doing research on the Huffman's from WV and I have, and have verified, that William Preston Huffman, son of Joseph Huffman and Mary Frances Morral, was married to Zettie Mouse. She is the daughter of Michael Mouse. Would any of you know and have the parents of Michael, along with other info. Isn't this fun...I read each message I receive and most times find something to record or research. Most times I do not answer, but enjoy reading all your items. Thanks, Virginia West - vwest@eohio.net

Diane, I don't have a clue why Joshua didn't post the bond. Yes, he was alive in 1836. Yes, John Dice Harman's mother was Susanna Dice. I believe that Elizabeth's mother was also Susanna, but that is just my own personal opinion. I haven't done any research on her. However Joshua and his first wife were married in 1814 and she died before his marriage to Susanna in 1817. We know that she had Joel and Phoebe. I got the 1830 census out to see how many children (and their ages) lived in that household during that census. Joshua had 2 males under 5, 2 males 15-20 and 1 male 30-40 (probably him). He had 2 females 5-10, 2 females 10-15 and 1 female 30-40 (probably Susanna). I have that Isaac was born in 1831 and Eli in 1833, so they wouldn't have been counted in the 1830 census. So we have Joel as one of the males in the 15-20 age group. I wonder who the other male was in this age group. For the females, we have Mary and Hellena in the 5-10 age group and Phoebe and Elizabeth were the 2 females in the 10-15 age group. All this shows is that Elizabeth was born between 1815 and 1820, which doesn't clear up anything. I'm sorry that I wasn't much help. Is anyone else working on this family?

How does she tie back to the Nageli line in Virginia. I show Sarah NEGLEY who married Johnson Phares as the daughter of Balthasar NAGELI and Christina RAUSCH. Was this Christina Sarah's sister?

My Elizabeth Henkle's father was Jesse Henkle and his father was Moses...I think. Elizabeth married Thomas Jefferson North in the 1820's (I don't have my files in front of me so don't know exact date) and they lived in Pendleton County. How is Jesse connected with these other Henkles? Susan in Milwaukee

Eve is mentioned in Joshua's will: Pendleton County, West Virginia, pg 114 Will Book 4 ent 289-290 5 Mar. 1849 Joshua Harman Weak and sick in body.

Sons John, George, Isaac and Eli: all my lands in Pendelton Co., equally divided. Isaac is not able to maintain himself, and his brothers are to have his share and to attend to him. If expenses overrun proceeds, Joel should go in equally and help support Isaac. If Isaac dies soon, the other three are to have his share of the lands and pay their sisters what is considered just by two disinterested men. Sons Joel, John, George and Eli: the other half of the red lick survey, plus lands in Randolph Co. Son Eli: the old gray mare and a heifer. Daughter Catherine: heifer and a young bay mare. Sons: wagon and gear, blacksmith tools. John, George, Eli and Catherine: writing desk. Daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Hellena, Katherine $225 each from my personal estate. If it is not sufficient, Joel, John, George and Eli to make up the difference. Signed: Joshua Harman Witnesses: Soloman Harman, Isaac Harman Proved by witnesses 3 May 1849

I have Elizabeth Harman, b 1810-1820, m. to Eli Teter in 1836. They eventually moved to Indiana (Tipton County). I have Elizabeth's parents as Joel Harman and Jane Unknown. I am wondering if this Joel Harman is the same Joel, son of Joshua Harman... Joshua was married to Eve Judy when he died after 1849. The numbers seem to fit... Just wondering if I'm working on the same Joel here. By the way, I have lots of West Virginians who ended up in Tipton County, Indiana, if anyone wants a look up of dates, places, children....

Just as an FYI, "Molly" is a nickname for Mary. . . could be the same person or they might not have been natural siblings. I have found cousins occasionally listed in a census as "children".
