Henry Fliesher, 1744-1821, Pendleton County Militiaman Descendants of Henry Fleisher (1744-1821), a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, recently laid a headstone at his grave near Monterey, VA. A dedication cermony will be held July 3, as the Fleisher clan gathers for their annual reunion nearby. Henry Fleisher was born in Holland, Germany in 1744 and came with his father, Peter Fleisher, to Port Philadelphia, PA, around the middle of the century. They then relocated to Pendleton County, VA, just six miles north of Monterey, VA, on US Rt. 220. The homestead now is located on the line between West Virginia and Virginia with land in both states. He married Susan Catherine Peninger in 1777 to which union was born 11 children two of which died in infancy. Of the nine children, seven went west with the two youngest inheriting the homeplace. Four of these childre, Henry, Jr., Conrad, George and Barbara [Fleisher] Hefner, went to Fayette County, Ohio, around 1810 and all owned land and engaged in business there. Henry Jr. was a blacksmith and the others were farmers. While he was there, Henry, Jr. was wounded in the War of 1812 and had nine children born in Fayette County, OH. Curtis E. Fleisher of Washington C.H., OH [Fayette County], became a member of the Arthur St. Claire Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution by way of his great-great-great-grandfather, Henry Fleisher. (Lineage- Henry, Andrew, Solomon, Austin, Elbert and Curtis). He applied for a stone from the Veterans Administration to mark the grave of Henry Fleisher who served under General Washington. Henry Fleisher was listed as a sergeant at Valley Forge, PA, and later promoted to lieutenant. Some of his travels included Tigert Valley, Winchester, Jersey and Middlebrook. He was on a two year enlistment from Augusta County, VA, and served in Capt. Michael Bowyer's Company, the 12th Virginia Regt., commanded by Col. James Wood, and General Scott's Brigade. He was in the battle of Brandywine, Germantown and other skirmisher. After the Revolutionary War, he continued to serve in the militia of Pendleton County where he achieved the rank of major. He had a son, Benjamin, who was also sheriff of said county, according to some reports. On June 9, Curtis and Janet Fleisher, accompanied by brother-in-law, Glenn Botkin, Jr., of McDowell, VA, took the stone, which was delivered to their residence in Washington C.H., Ohio, in April. They set it in concrete in the Fleisher Cemetery. {End of article} There is a photo of the grave marker, but I cannot read what is on them. The area where the homestead is located was all part of Pendleton County, VA until 1847 when Highland County was formed. The historical society in Highland County has a copy of the Campbell Map, which was done in 1847, showing residences, for sale. They are located in Monterey, VA.

John Dolly, 1749-1847, Hessian Mercernary Settled Germany Valley Mike Dolly of Whitmer has recently installed head stones for his Great-great-grandparents, John (Dahle) Dolly I [1749-1847] and his wife, Mary Shoulders Dolly [1776-1838]. John (Dahle) (Cornyakle) Dolly I was a Hessian soldier from Hesse, Germany, hired by the British to fight in the Revolutionary War. At the end of the war, he was taken prisoner at Yorktown, VA. Later he was allowed to stay in the United States and then settled in what is now known as Germany Valley. Dolly built the first school in Germany Valley and was the teacher. He spent the remainder of his life there raising a family of three sons and seven daughters. Dolly Sods also got its name from Dolly and his family. He is buried on his homeplace on Horse Ridge Road that is owned by Herb Landis near Riverton. Mike Dolly and his niece, Susan Pennington are also responsible for the placement of the historical marker by the state along the roadside, near the Dolly grave. {End of article} The Dolly school still stands, though in disrepair. There is a large log house that stands near the grave yard. All are easily accesible. The above article had photos of the two markers. Following are what is carved on them.

Formal adoptions, as we have them today, were just about non-existent in the 19th century, at least in WV. The closest thing you will find in Pendleton County are the records when a child was "bound out" to work for a man/family in exchange for learning a trade. These records appear in the court minute book.

Dear Mrs Rawlings: Just read your post about John (Dahle) Dolly. He is my 5G Grandfather through his daughter Eve, who married Ambrose Day. I wonder if there is a Dolly family history available. I would be interested in securing a copy if it is. Mark L. Hale printed some information about some of the Dolly family. Since then I have lost track of Mark and have not found anyone that knows of his location or status. Would you by any chance have any info about him? I also am interested in the second article about Henry Fliesher who moved to Fayette County Ohio. Absolom Day son of Ambrose and Eve Dolly Day moved to Fayette and eventually settled in Tipton County, Indiana. Are copies of the Pendleton Times Newspaper available for the date the dolly article was printed? How would I contact the publisher? Also I would like to contact Mike Dolly and his niece Susan Pennington. As you can see that my surname is Pennington and I feel that my Pennington family had (has) connections in Pendleton County. I would also like to have information about the Pendleton Co., WVa Historical Preservation Association. I am including my surface mail address also if you would ever need to contact me that way. Sincerely, Bob Pennington 801 N Garrison Rd. # 48 Vancouver, WA 98664-1339 1-360-750-8641 PS thank you for posting the material.

Hi Joyce, Do you have anything for Samuel, Leonard, John, Ezekiel, or Basil Day?? Any Day name would be helpful. Also, anything on John Dolly. Thanks for any help.
