Barbara, one source on worldconnect.rootsweb, has Jacob Greathouse's death as 1905. FamilySearch.org has his birth as Dec. 1821 in PA, married 4 Aug., 1840 to Catherine Nicola in Preston Co. The Nicola's were Church of the Brethren which is different than United Brethren. Some of the Nicola family lived near Lyon (Lyons). Someone who is Church of the Brethren may know where the old records are kept. Perhaps Janice Sisler would know. Rosalie

Alice, I noticed your reference to the ELLIOTT name and wondered if you have anything for Rachel Elliot? Jacob W. Thrasher married Rachel ELLIOTT in Garrett County, Maryland June 28, 1876. Jacob's initial could be "U". When married Jacob was 52 (b. abt. 1824) and Rachel was 43 (b. abt. 1833) Pat-T

If anyone has access to any of the records for the United Brethren in Preston Co., WV I would appreciate some info. When I visited my Grandmother in the summers, they went to the United Brethren Church. I have a picture of my gr-great grandparents, she has the white cap on & he has the squared beard. I always wondered about this until I found out that the Brethren of that time dressed like that. According to info I have, Jacob GREATHOUSE [b. 1821/23 possibly PA] & Catherine [NICOLA] CRESS [b.c. 1809/10 MD], widow of Thomas Jefferson CRESS, were married Aug 4, 1840 [no proof of date or where]. So far, I have not been able to find any death info on Jacob. He was probably buried in the family plot on a farm & probably died sometime between the 1900 census & the 1910 census. Would there possibly be a record of the marriage and of his death in the United Brethren Church records. Any help would be appreciated. Barb K.

My family also has a United Brethren connection...and although they left the Preston County WV area around 1800 I also would be interested in any records in Preston County for possible other relatives such as the Elliott and Daugherty families...A little bit about what I have learned although I am far from an expert...I have been told the UB did not really keep much in the way of records...feeling that would be prideful...However their was a newspaper called the "Religous Telescope"...Their are a few copies on line..try googling the name "Religious Telescope"... Also Otterbein College in Westerville Ohio was founded by the "early" United Brethren and the archivist did find an 1860 obituary for my 3rd Great Grandfather Benjamin Rightmire and my 2nd Great Grandfather William Rightmire attended school at Otterbein very early in its excistance....They will do very limited research...At some point in the late 1800's their was a split between the conservative and more liberal members of the Church....I had inquired about records for the Preston County Church with no luck but hope this info will help you and if you find something else please let me know..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara M Kelley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 9:07 AM Subject: [WV Preston County] UB church records and/or info > If anyone has access to any of the records for the United Brethren in > Preston Co., WV I would appreciate some info.

Someone on one of the lists contacted me sometime ago regarding the availability of the genealogy of Henry Weaver & Catherine Fast published by Phyllis Weaver Hiett. At that time there was none available. I no longer have the name/email address of the person who made the request. Ms. Hiett has had some more published. If you are still interested, you can contact me, and I will send you the specifics. She is not online. Also, she obtained a copy of IDENTIFYING THE ANCESTRY OF HENRY WEAVER, 1747-1830, compiled by Carlton D. Weaver, December 2004, Ashland, KY, which documents the birth of Henry Weaver and his parents. She had an old address (1984) for him. but doesn't know if it is still good. The address was 409 Country Club Lane, Ashland, KY 41101. A more recent address (2002) for a Carlton D. Weaver. at AOL People Finder, 1610 Montgomery Avenue, Ashland, KY 41101, 1-606-325-3520, but this number has been disconnected. If you are interested, you could try writing to this address.

They were probably all born in the same area, those born 1863 or after were noted as born in WV because that was when WV was formed. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 7:37 PM Subject: [WV Preston County] Re: Jones Family in Evansville This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Samuel Jackson Teets married Sarah Catherine Sines (7/3/1868 - 11/9/1949). They had the following children: Mary Etta Teets married Reuben Ormy Friend; Charlie Teets married Vesta M. Friend; Theresa Ellen Teets married Alvin H. Friend; Martha Alice Teets married Charles H. Sines I have a picture with Grandpap Sammy in it if you would like to see a copy. Okay, onto Samuel Jackson's siblings. A.I. Teets was married to an unknown Sypolt I have some additional info on this family, if you are interested.
