All I know is that James Dunithan was in Hardy Co, VA/WV in 1850 with the following: Catharine, Margaret, Lemuel, Charles. Where is Saskatchewan? I've never heard of it. When & where did your Wm Dunithan get married. I'm hoping to make a trip to the archives within the next couple of weeks and I will make note of it for you if you'd like.

My GrAunt Cora Slife, of western Ohio married a William Dunithan. I have not been able to find any info at all on the Dunithans, so i've thought that the spelling of the name has been corrupted at some point. My mother recollects that Willam Dunithan was from Saskatchewan. Yours is the first Dunithan I've found.

I'm looking for King family researchers. Louisa Catherine King, born in Baltimore in 1836, later moved to Cumberland and then Oakland area, was daughter of William King and unknown mother. Her family likely moved into Terra Alta. She definitely did after marrying Andrew Jackson Freeland in 1855. David A. Freeland was her brother in law. She had a sister in law, Mary King who was a widow in 1907 living with her son David A. King near Eglon. Anyone connected to this line? Thanks Beverly Railey Walter

Beverly....I knew it might be a "long shot"concerning FREELAND/GIBBS connection but thank you for checking it out for me. Good luck on your research! Norma Fritz

To Norma Gibbs: I have only one Freeland in my data base. She is Mary FREELAND, b. 1820 in Ohio, and married to Pryor PETREE in Indiana. I have only two children: John and James. I have no Gibbs or McCann. I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help. My West Virginia ancestors are Plums and Plumbs. Beverly in AZ

The information I have on Brokenborong from the 1880 Census done June 19, 1880. He was 56 and Eleanor was 50. The children I have are Harriet E. 24, single, Elisha M. 23, Viola J. 20, Marcellus 17 (my grandfather Austins' father) Nancy 14, James W. 11, Henry E. 8, and Ellis 6. In the 1870 Census I have mother Martha 80 living with Brokenborong he has Land and Cash. Mother Martha has land and money if I read it correctly. In 1910 I found Edward 36, as head of household living with Ellis 33 and Nancy 42 single on Beverly Road Kingwood District. In the 1850 Census it looks like Larkin but the name looks like Re'ar ken Stone, 29 farmer with a value of 3000 and having Andrew C 58 and Martha 55, Brokenbarrow 28, Charlotta 2o, Seemuel (Samuel) 18 and John 16 these are listed on lines 35 thur 41. Do you have all this information already. I'm really taken with the census info I guess that is to be expected since I'm and so new. I am really enjoying this! research. This really does brings history to life. Hope we can keep up the exchange. Take care Alex

Beverly....I would be interested if you had any data concerning David FREELAND (1809-1887) son of John FREELAND and Mary MC CANN. He was married to Nancy A. GIBBS (1810-1874) who was a daughter of my 3rd G. Grandfather Aaron GIBBS and Nancy ?. I have had very little success researching Aaron GIBBS. Any help would be appreciated.

I have just received the Civil War Pension files for Andrew Jackson Freeland (son of James William Freeland and Sara Ridenour; grandson of John Freeland and Mary Polly McCann) who married Louisa Catherine King. Following the death of Andrew Jackson Freeland in 1862, she married Albert Wilburn. I was surprised to find that I had obtained about two reams of papers from this file, and it was filled with interesting documents!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Young/Teets Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IEC.2ACE/723.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, the name of the family we are researching is Joseph Adam Young who m. Elizabeth Nancy Teets. They had several children, one of which died. We are trying to find out any info on his parents. I've been told he was born abt. 1850 in Braxton Co. I am not sure if the info about Braxton Co. is accurate though. The family is buried at TerraAlta Cemetery. Some of them are Joseph and Elizabeth N. 1853-1939 with son Charles. There is Charles M. (son) 1877-1924, James Harold Sept 15, 1927-Apr. 6, 1952, he served in USNR and died in MI., John W. Oct 18, 1874- Apr 16, 1965, Junior Harry Aug 25, 1905- July 6, 1925, Joseph S. Jun11, 1903 - Dec1, 1981 served USN WWII and Jaunita V. no dates. At this time we have not been able to find any other information on his family. We are hoping to find an obit for him with the hope that it might say where he was born or information on any siblings that might lead us to his parents. He was B. 1850 and died 1925 in Preston Co. Any help ! would be greatly appreciated. Sharon
