A lookup resulted in some conflicting "facts". I am looking for the marriage of Robert H. Aliff and Sarah Jane Smith, 27 Oct 1884. I need to see if parents are listed for Robert, and any other available info. Also the Raleigh County Marriages book had listed a Woolwine marriage in Raleigh County in the index, and I wanted to see what that listing was, as we are having a hard time finding a connection for my grandfather William Birt Woolwine, born 3 Apr 1890 (we think). Birt was married to one of Sarah Jane and Robert's daughters, Macie. A lookup for Sarah Jane and Robert revealed no parents listed for Robert, and Sarah Jane's parents as Hulet and Angeline Smith, but with a notation as "no". Nyla Creed DePauk says: "Unfortunately, someone entered information in the official records years after the records were recorded.  There are many errors." I had been going on the assumption that Sarah Jane's parents were Joseph Lewis Smith and Nancy Williams, as the All Relative Tree at Ancestry.com has listed (on a search for Sarah Jane Smith. married to Robert Aliff) with the source as “Honaker 10-22-2003.FTW.” Does anyone have any clearer information? Any info would be welcome. Thanks, Anita (Woolwine) Hill

No Rumburg in the index. Sorry! Sharon

I'd like to know how you get in contact with the Raleigh County Genealogy Societyother then writing, no phone number shown. Margureitte

Mike, I have the book, too, and if you get overwhelmed with requests, I'll be glad to help out. Sharon Phillips Belenski

Is this book a Raleigh County History Book on people who lived in Raleigh Co? Margureitte

Bill Hudnall, a researcher on another list, answered by most recent query: While researching for my book, "Three Confederates from Kanawha County, West Virginia" I found that Wise's Legion and "Caskie's Rangers" were operating in the Coal River area during September and October 1861. The Rangers were later designated Co. A, 10th Va Cavalry. Thank you Bill! Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]

Hello to Everyone: I just received an article from George William Stuart from Raleigh, MS. I thought some of you may find it interesting, and perhaps can shed some additional light on the Mississippi branch of the Stewart/Stuart family. The article will be archived at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvrcbiog/StuartsFromMS.html . Nyla Lost Stewart Family Found in Mississippi by George William Stuart Through the modern marvel of DNA research a long lost branch of the Stewart family of old Augusta County, Virginia, has been located in Neshoba County, Mississippi. George William Stuart, great-great-grandson of William Davis Stuart, recently participated in the Stewart/Stuart Family DNA Project. He had an exact match (25/25) with known descendants of James and Mary Lafferty Stewart of old Augusta County, Virginia. This was also the only family in the project even remotely matched. Evidently we are one of a kind! It seems we are of direct descent from early Viking colonies in Scotland, Ireland, and to a limited extent England and France. Prior to this discovery, the Mississippi branch had not been able to determine just where their patriarch, William Davis Stuart had come from. >From his tombstone, located at Old Pearl Valley Baptist Church, Neshoba County, Mississippi, we obtained his date of birth (February 22, 1823) and his date of death (June 20, 1907). However, we don’t know who supplied this birth information to the monument people or the accuracy of it. >From the 1850 Winston County, Mississippi census and the 1860 through 1900 Neshoba County censuses we obtained the place of birth stated as AL. When census information started including parents place of birth we started getting varied answers. His mother’s place of birth stayed consistent as South Carolina; but his father’s place of birth was given as Kentucky on one, Alabama on another, and Virginia on yet another. Because this Stewart family of early Virginia and West Virginia is the only match, I now must try to find the link between it and the Mississippi Stuarts. I’m asking for help from the Stewarts reading this message. In my first few weeks of learning about the Stewarts, it seems likely that Capt. Ralph Stewart will be my link. Capt. Ralph had sons that migrated to Greenup County, Kentucky. It seems that several Stewarts migrated into Kentucky in the early 1800’s and one of them may be the father or grandfather of my William Davis Stuart. Family photos posted on MyFamily.com websites by Stewart descendants of these Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina families look remarkably like the Mississippi Stuarts! I welcome any discussion, helpful directions, etc., from all. George William Stuart 26319 Highway 35 North Raleigh, MS 39153 [email protected] or [email protected]

Jim Wood in his book, "Raleigh County West Virginia," writes the following: About 20 October 1861, Colonel Erastus B. Taylor of the 7th Ohio, Third Brigade, sent (William S.) Dunbar and 40 men to the Clear Fork of Coal River to guard the polls at an election precinct near where his family lived. Dunbar commented on the situation: "So I went on and we had the election and just as we closed the polls a man came running across a field and told me that there were 500 Rebel cavalry following after us ... The man who gave me the news was Jubal Stover of Cabin Creek, Kanawha (County). He had run 7 or 8 miles across a long mountain and was nearly exhausted." Does anyone know what group of Confederate cavalry was in pursuit that day? Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]
