Would you know of any brothers and sisters? Also a question with the information you gave what was the years of her birth, death and marriage again, because you listed that she was born in 1876, died 1805 and married in 1848.

Looking for Samuel Thomas POWELL b. 1796 who resided near Newburg, Preston Co., WV., married Sarah MORTON. My theory is that he was "probably" born in the territory along the Mason-Dixon line between Pennsylvania and Virginia since his children vary in reporting his birthplace on censuses as sometimes VA sometimes PA. Samuel was a founding member of Three Forks Creek Baptist church. Lived on his farm from about 1820 until his death in 1875. We have thought he might be descended from Isaac POWELL of Monongalia Co., but Samuel hasn't turned up as a child in the lines we can follow. His children were named: Thomas M. - moved to Adair Co., MO Harrison Hagen - moved to Adams Co., IA Joel Franklin - moved to Adams Co., IA & Washinton Territory John Madison - stayed in Preston Co., WV had large family Benjamin M. - stayed in Preston Co., WV no children Israel d. young Mary d. young Ruth - moved to Warren Co., IA Nancy I have information on all of his children and their offspring, but can't find Samuel's parents. We have a number of cousins networked and would love to solve this riddle. Best regards, Vana -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Bev, all we have in the library is done by Eleanor Diehl. She has Eliza Ann Deahl d/o Jacob b. ca 1842 in VA m. William Smith with children Agatha and John H. By the looks of our email people were researching Smith's in 2004 and maybe they have moved on to other members although it isn't the same Smith family. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am looking for any decedents of William H Smith b Oct, 1835 in England. He came to the US at about age 6 and I think he settled in Pa, Addison Twp, Somerset Co, close to the WV Preston Co boarder. He married Eliza Deahl and had 2 children John b 1866 born in PA Agataha 1870 born in Allegeny Co MD Eliza died early on after the birth of Agatha.

I am travelling to Preston County soon, and was wondering if any of these old cemeteries listed in the book, Some Early Families in Grant and Pleasant Districts, Preston County, West Virginia, by Edward Thorpe King, can still be accessed. If it is possible to visit these cemeteries, can you provide any more specific directions? 1) Ryan Farm Cemetery (per the book, p. 201, "Cemetery on the Sanfred Ryan farm near the Hope School house about four miles north of Pisgah, Grant District") 2) Albert Metheny/Jehu King Farm (per the book, p. 169, "Cemetery on land now [1931] owned by Albert Metheny, formerly the Jehu King farm and originally owned by Valentine King. About one mile from Laurel Run Church, Grant District") 3) Everly Cemetery (per the book, p. 179, "Small cemetery known as the Everly Cemetery about one and one half miles southwest of Mt. Nebo Church, Pleasant District") Thanks, Sandra
