Does anyone know when the Hedrick reunion in Pendleton county is? Thanks, Rebecca Lucas rlucas@neo.rr.com

Dear Nedra or others, Would you also have a Solomon GEORGE md Susanna BUCKBEE 21 april 1844 listed in the book? I am really curious what spelling will show up, it almost looks like Solomon and Eliza GEORGE may have been brother and sister and they married John and Susanna BUCKLEE or BUCKBEE who may have been brother and sister. Either way John & Eliza BUCKBEE (or so it appears) on the 1850 census Hardy county page 61 was living next door to James & Elizabeth GEORGE. Is anyone researching BUCKLEE or BUCKBEE? Maybe they were from Hardy county!

The best county map for the present time is the WV Road Commission Map. It will be in 2 parts as I remember--didn't get mine out. They show everything and are in a scale of 1 inch to a mile. When I go cemetery stomping I find them invaluable. They are big enough to make notes on as to locations, etc. They are cheap too. Jean

Elaine and all, Parents were first listed in the 1853 marriage book. >James GEORGE md Elizabeth IMAN 21 may 1844 -- Reg of Marr 1800:43 >John BUCKBEE md Eliza GEORGE 29 sep 1845 --Reg of Marr 1800:46 > I have added the page numbers for you, as taken from Harter's book. Mary Harter's Marriage Bond book shows the bond for John BUCKALEE and Eliza GEORGE, bond date 27 August 1845. Bondsmen John Bucklee and Solomon George. Serving as a bondsman did not prove a relationship, but usually Solomon would have been Eliza's father, brother, or uncle. As I said, this by itself is not proof but can offer a clue. I have never found another record of a John Buckbee, although he might be some of the family of this name that went to Mineral County. Or, perhaps he really was Bucklee.

I have been searching for ancestors for 45 years since an 8th grade school project was to write an autobiography and one chapter was to be on my ancestors. In between I have raised 5 children, managed an optometric office for 20 years and spent the last 10 years helping my husband start a business. I am now my own person. My interest in Pendleton County is on behalf of my husband. His great-grandmother was always known as Jennie Oats. She is a puzzle. In 1880 she was living with Samuel(43) and Mary Ann McCluster(42), with the name of S E Puffenbarger, age 6, adopted. They were in Lewis Co. West Virginia in the Freeman Creek District. All had been born in West Virginia as well as their parents. Only the grandfather 's parents had been born in Ireland. This family, which also had an adopted son, Rhiner Franklin (age 17) and a father Franklin McCluster(75) west west and settled in Oberlin, Kansas. Jennie was raised there. She went to work in McCook, Nebraska where she met Richard Carroll to whom she was married. In 1900, they were living in the city of Oberlin, Kansas. Only the parents are listed, but now they have a new adopted son, Guy Moffat, who is also from Virginia When she applied for her marriage license she put down her parents as Benjamin Oats and Elizabeth Puffenbarger. Her death certificate says her name was Sarah Jennie, but her son didn't know her parents names as he put down McCluster. Said she was born in Weston, West Virginia. I was there in the court house and found no Oates or Puffenbargers. In looking through census records, Puffenbarger seems to be a common name in Pendleton Co. at that time so this is a long stag. Sorry, this is so long. I am wondering if she was illegitimate or what. Anyway, would like some help. Elizabeth Puffenbarger is very common the in 1870' and 1880s in your county.

Bible died 1906, "lost arm in Civil War." Isabel Nelson Bible died 1912. Miles J. Bible son of James W. & Isabel died at age 19. Pitman Flick born 22 Oct. 1882, died 22 Mar 1904, son of James W. & Isabel. Virgie Bible, daughter of James W. Bible, Jr. and Media Bible, died at age 2 years old. Another grave for Infant son of James W. Bible, Jr., and Media. This family is buried in Bible Cemetery, near the Olin Bible residence [in 1977]. This cemetery is indeed on Reeds Creek and the original Bible property. Same book, page 88, Ruddle Presbyterian Church Cemetery, at Ruddle, Pendleton County: James Bible 22 December 1875-14 April 1937. Media Bible 12 October 1879-5 October 1959. 1880 census Pendleton Co., Circleville District, page 9: Bible, James 34 Isabel 40 wife Amanda J. 10 dau Job 8 all sons Miles 6 James 5 [the James born 1875 above] Charles 3 Josiah 1 J. W. Bible aged 23 married I. Nelson aged 28, both single, 28 September 1868, Pendleton County Marriages 1853, page 15. Parents [J. or I. or P] & S. Bible and Job & S. Nelson. [Job & Samanda Nelson who appear on the same page in the 1880 census.] Read below, but also by comparing the groom's father's initial to other names on the page, it cannot be a J--the other J's all have descenders and this one does not. But since this is still iffy, lets look further to find if his parents were James and Susan or Phillip and Sallie? The previous generation: 1880 census Pendleton Co, Union District, page 32 (this would be Reeds Creek area): Bible, James 64 Susan 59 wife Benjamin F. 25 married Martha E. 18 daughter-in-law William 20 son Henry H. 23 son same, Franklin District page 20: Bible Sallie 73 widow Jacob 19 g/son Brady, Levi 24 laborer In 1860 Pendleton County: Dw 640 James Bible 45 [Mouth of Seneca] Susan 39 children include Jas. W. 6 months [obviously not in the Civil War!] Dw 803 Sarah Bible 54 [Franklin District] Adam Bible 21 Jas. W. 15 Miles P. 13 This last family in 1850: Dw. 321 Philip Bible 37 [Buffalo Hills, Smith Creek-near Reeds Creek] Sarah 40 children include James W. 5 Miles P. 2 Philip and Sarah/Sallie's son James was ca. 10 years older than his cousin and the only one of the two old enough to be in the Civil War and to be married in 1868. In 1870 James and Isabelle have their own household while Union Township, Dwelling 50: James Bible 54 Susannah 49 children include James W. aged 10. [still not old enough for the Civil War!] This James W. Bible, born ca. 1859-1860, does not appear in the published 1880 Pendleton County census. The above shows that the James W. Bible who married Isabelle Nelson is indeed the son of Philip and Sarah, not James and Susan[nah]. The differences in ages helps to sort them out. Nedra
