Pam, I don't have Sidney Raines in my file, do you know her parents? or a sibling?? Also, I only have 3 Kile's in the file, Ulysses S. Grant, Phoebe, and Mary Lois. Let me know if these names are familiar or if you have any other names to make a connection for Raines. Jennifer

If so then his children were Leonard, Henry, William, George and Elizabeth. Yes, Leonard Simmons Sr. is the man who married Anna Maria ---- as his second wife (by whom he had no known children). His first wife was named Catherine Elizabeth, as evidenced by an obscure church record, and when they gave their consent in Augusta County for dau. Sarah to m. Philip Wimer. The children "Leonard, Henry, William, George, and Elizabeth" are from Oren Morton's "HPC" and are misleading; Leonard, William, and George are incorrect, and there were several other children not identified there.

While not impossible, I just haven't seen any evidence to support it. The article in the ARA journal, Vol. 4, #3 is actually the retraction to the original "Simmons Quagmire" article I wrote for the ARA journal, Vol. 3, #2, p.35. There have been quite a few additions and corrections in the five years since that first article was published (I didn't think it would be this long before I finished!). At 08:58 PM 8/18/1999, you wrote: >This is just my question, not fact, but if this is the same Leonard Sr, he >would be the one listed as coming to Augusta County, VA in 1753 with >Nicholas Simon. Could the Nicholas Simon be his father? And could he be >the Johann Nicholas Simon who married Anna Margaretha? (Not Marie >Margaretha). If these questions could be answered, and if they are correct >this would prove that our Simmons line came from Germany. Yes, Leonard Sr. and Nicholas Simmons were first mentioned in the same record, when they entered land in Pendleton (then Augusta) in 1753. This record was "lined through," suggesting that it was invalidated; however, it does prove that they were there that early. Contrary to what I wrote in the ARA journal, there is now not any evidence available to clarify what relationship Leonard Sr. and Nicholas had; however, I have NO doubt that they were closely related. And yes, it now seems clear that Nicholas Simmons' wife was ANNA Margaret, NOT MARIA Margaret. I also have no doubt that the Pendleton Simmons' were of Germanic heritage (based on their Germanic naming patterns, and participation in Germanic churches); there just isn't clear evidence as to where, when, and what German town they came from. While the first Simmons article in the ARA journal claimed that they came from Pfeffelbach, Germany, the subsequent retraction (Vol. 4, #3) (due to newly found evidence) clarified that Pfeffelbach Nicholas Simmons had remained in PA.

I thought virus warnings, no matter how well-meaning, aren't to be posted to these lists. I for one miss all the other letters on the digest because I won't download these attachments.

Can someone tell me what county Davis, WV is in?

Sorry about that last post, I meant to send it to Jim privately. Oh well, it was Pendleton Co. related anyway!! Jennifer

Jim, Here is a link for Raines info, it gives Martin Raines and Cynthia Hedrick's children and Martin's siblings. It's quite extensive on the Raines family, I thought you might be interested for your Hedrick information and you might find something else. You may have already seen this before, I have come across it, several times in my Raines research. Just go down appox. 3/4 of the way down or if you print it out it's on page 13 of 16. It starts with James Raines and Frances Thompson, then Tobias, Martin and Patrick. This is my direct line. I will have to send you Patrick Raines picture this weekend. The only copy I have in my possession is a scanned copy and I want to scan and send you the original so it will be more clear. I thought it was stored in my computer, but it must have been on my old computer, because I can't locate it, I got a new computer a few months ago. The copy isn't very good. The picture is of Patrick Raines, his 2nd wife, (after Ida Hedrick), Laura Lambert and some of their children. I will find out from my aunt if any of them are Ida's daughters. Jennifer

Depending on the person speaking, and the one listening, I have heard people pronounce KIMBLE in such a way that someone could spell it Camel. I hail from Maryland, though I have been in Franklin, WV for the past 16 years. Most of the time I have to ask people how they spell names because how they are pronounced here, and the way I grew up hearing names is totally different. In example, many people here say Charl instead of saying all the letters in Charles. Thus Kimble is pronounced without a B, and the i sounds like an A. C and K are exchanged for each other often. In a good many older records, the persons involved may not have known the spelling of their name, or even how to read or write. You could have an Englishman writting down the names of passengers arriving in port. If a German said his name, but couldn't spell it, the Englishman would write it as it sounded to him, or vise versa. Until the latter 19th century, formal education was for the wealthy. The everyday person didn't go to school. You might have been taught a trade, but you may not have been taught to read or write. Now that I have totally confused everyone, including myself, I'll say Happy Ancestor Hunting.

Does anyone know when the franklin high school was built the one on route 33 in franklin. I know it was contracted in October of 1929 but when was it actually built and used. thanks so much.

There are many places to check out information about viruses and hoaxes. One such is at: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html My suggestion would be that if you have an impulse to put a virus notice on the board -- DON'T! However, if you must, at least check it out first. It is probably a hoax that is meant to generate thousands of useless messages. Several of the boards absolutely prohibit such messages and maybe this one should consider such a restriction. John

Dear Pendleton researchers: I am the one who posted this to the board. I got this Happy99.exe "worm". It is not a virus it is a Trojan horse worm. I have spent three days clearing this "worm" out of my computer. I received it through the e-mail and like all of the warnings we have read, it does come "attached". It came to me from on an e-mail from someone I generally receive mail from, another sneaky mode of transportation. (the sender was unaware of it too) Typically, this "worm" is not corrected by your virus scan. It replicates in your files and destroys your "original" file. There are sites available to describe the methods of ridding this from your system. I used the virus scan and deleted the files that were corrupted. However this does NOT "clear" the problem. If this board does not let in "attachments" then you may be safe. However, we have all made contacts with fellow researchers and share off this board. I thought I was safe because I do NOT open attachments unless I know who they are from and I still became infected with this "worm". I notified everyone in my address book as a warning (after clearing my hard drive.) I apologize for sending this to this board and using "space" for this matter. However I felt obligated to notify each one of you about this very serious situation since I do post to this site. I am like most of you, I am a little computer literate and never thought this would happen to me and really didn't know how to handle it when it did happen! pamrooney@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Carrico <kencarrico@gci.net> To: <WVPENDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: August 17, 1999 11:10 PM Subject: Re: Possible Happy99.exe virus infection > One more thing also, generally if you are infected with it, you usually can > not connect to the internet until it's cleaned out of your system. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: MLS <autolycous@excite.com> > To: <WVPENDLE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 1999 8:02 PM > Subject: Re: Possible Happy99.exe virus infection > > > Ok, I've got to jump in here.
