Cathy, If you call the phone number that is listed in the article and talk to Nancy Stewart, I'm sure she can either tell you or get the info for you. I didn't ask her for that info but did other things and she was very helpful.

Our Stover DNA group at: http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/s/stover/index.html is now up to 4 members, and we sure need more. :) One Stover line we have was in Ohio, and the other three members are descendants from Jacob Stover and Sallie McGhee, who md in Franklin Co, VA and moved to Raleigh County, West Virginia.. What we have is 4 completely different Stover lines, because none of us have yet made a match with each other. Check out the results page, and then the Patriarch page on the site that shows the male pedigree charts that are associated with each result. Each of the results line has a different colored background because they are 4 seperate groups. This DNA group is open to all Stovers. The more who participate, the more chance we all have of sorting out all these confusing Stovers.

Thanks for the information Rita. I appreciate it. Will be a little while before I can enter the information, due to getting ready for school to start and other projects that I have going on right now. Becky Roberts Columbus, Ohio

You're certainly welcome. I'll have to get the tombstone picture or video out and review the date of death for Dora Alsie Clay Aliff. I just noticed I have two different death dates - July 14 and July 24.

According to my records, my great grandfather William Patterson Aliff, Jr. was born February 4, 1870 in Rock Creek, Raleigh County, WV. He died September 6, 1958 at his home at Alderson, Summers County, WV. He was buried September 9, 1958 in the Clayton Baptist Church Cemetery at Clayton, Summers County, WV. He was a son of William Patterson and Sirelda Jane Reynolds Aliff, Sr. According to his mother's death record, she was a daughter of John Reynolds. According to the death records of William Patterson Aliff, Jr. and his brother Franklin Oite "Frank" Aliff, their mother was a Reynolds - not a Morgan. William Patterson Aliff, Jr.'s first marriage was to Mahala "Artie" Beckelhimer d/o Henderson Jyles and Sarah Ellen Smith Beckelhimer on January 7, 1896.

She was buried next to William in the Clayton Baptist Church Cemetery, Clayton, Summers County, West Virginia on January 16, 1991. An interesting tid bit - William Patterson Aliff, Jr. had a sister Sirelda J. Aliff who married the Rev. Wyatt Albert Toler on April 13, 1888 in Wyoming County, WV. Rev Wyatt Albert and Sirelda Aliff Toler had a son named James H. "Jack" Toler. Jack married his first cousin, Lessie G.

To Lewis researchers, A yahoo group has been started for the discussion of families with the Lewis surname (or connected to) in the early settlement of Greenbrier Co (W)VA. If you are interested in joining, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/ and search for earlylewisfamilies -- or email me and I will send an invitation. At present the group is small but active. Several documents such as wills, deeds, marriage bonds have been presented, as well as discussion of which Lewis are connected. Carol chb20190@wdn.com
