Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone on the list know about a project I'm working on. I am in the process of trying to untangle the early families of the county. Those of you who have visited my website know that I have a pretty good sized collection of records for Raleigh Co. What I am doing is cross-referencing everything I have and building a sourced database. It is far from complete, but you are all welcome to visit and see if there is an ancestor hiding in there! It is the section of my website called "Melissa's Root Cellar". If you don't find what you are looking for this time, check back - I expect to be at this awhile! Happy hunting, Melissa Bailey Duggins Melissa's Family Tree http://home.att.net/~mduggins/index.html

Mischelle and All, Regarding your Elisha Kidd who married a Margaret and moved from Franklin Co VA: I have the information from the 1850 Montgomery Co VA census on this family, if you need it. I believe the Elisha Kidd who married Peggy Perry on 5 Feb 1829 in Tazewell Co VA is probably the same couple. I have a little information on the KIDD family and would be happy to exchange information. You ask about Millers Camp Branch at Old Eccles. Eccles is located in Raleigh Co. I believe it is on Route 3. If I'm wrong about this, perhaps someone can let me know what route leaves Beckley and goes over the mountain to Harper, Eccles, and beyond. Thank you. Nyla

Hi All, I am newcomer to the Raleigh Mailing List. I am researching Elisha Kidd & Family. He married a Margaret and moved from Franklin Co,VA. and settled in Millers Camp Branch at Old Eccles.about 1855. He son Preston was a Union Soldier and George was a Confederate Soldier and enlisted in Raleigh in the year 1861. Elisha born 1804-1890 and Margaret had ten children.Elisha parents where John Kidd & Lucy Milton. If anyone is working on the KIDD family I would be happy to exchange info. Also does anyone no where Millers Camp Branch is located in WV ? And where I can obtain a service record for these two Union & Confederate Soldiers. Thanks So Much, Mischelle

Hi All! I received a tip on a site "Ohio River Valley Families". The address is: http://www.tbox.com/orvf/ I noticed some names on there that I know some of you are researching. Thought it might be of interest or help to some of you.

James Andrew Tucker wasborn in Fayette Co. 1820-26? His father could have been a Jason? Would you have information on this family? Maybe the 1830- Census? Thanks Linda

Hi All! I've been beating my head against a brick wall over the DEQUASIE's. Is anyone out there researching this surname? or have any info at all? Thanks!

Jacob Stover Sr md Mary Carrow in Fayette Co, VA/WV on 8 Oct 1836. > 1840 census Fayette Co VA > Jacob STOVER, Sr. > 1 male 60-70 > 1 female under 5 > 1 female 5-10 > 1 female 30-40 So this looks like Jacob Stover and Mary Carrow had at least two children, before he died abt 1848.Does anyone have record of these children?

Hello Amber, Am I ever glad you asked that question. How may I be of service, let me count the ways........ First: There is a 30th Battalion VA Sharpshooters Regimental Book. I've picked it up for our WVMercer Confederate veterans we're trying to locate. Second: What exactly do you need on the "Vawters" unit. I have another H.E.Howard VA Regimental book which lists each VA unit and some basic facts too. Third: You might consider subscribing to the new RootsWeb mailing list. It's: WVWBTSVETS and has 70 plus subscribers now. There are Confederate &Union researchers online - all hunting and looking too. Fourth: Are you doing a school project or family research - genealogy. I'd love to do what I can!

Thanks to all who gave me the information on Blue Jay. The town I am looking for is near Beckly, as I have located ancestors in that area.

A few other Raleigh Co. surnames I would be interested in, they are found in my Hood family tree branch, but I am not directly connected to: ALLEN, MASSEY, UNDERWOOD, COMBS, WEBB The Hood family has given me a lot of trouble, I can't seem to find too many of the descendants. I am researching Stephen Hood, I am descended from his first marriage through son, George W. Hood, Sr. (no problem there). The above names are found in connection to his second and third marriages. (This is where I need the help!) Hope to hear from some of you. Bev

I need help. I'm trying to research Civil War Records and I forgot to pay attention in my History Class. I have two options. Vawter's Company (Monroe County WV), and Co. C 30th Batallion, VA Sharpshooters. Can anyone help me. I have no idea what/where to look. There's Cavalries, Artillaries, etc. Amber Dalakas am1@stratos.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/5612

Hi; Two pages that have cemeteries are: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1322/cooper/cems.html This cemetery is in Winifrede, Kanawha Co, but close to Raleigh Co line http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1322/stover/raleighcem.html These cemeteries on this page are in the Clear Creek, Raleigh Co, WV area Gracie P.S. I hope these will help someone.

For those of you who are doing research in Raleigh and Fayette Co, there is a lady that lives there who transcribes county records and puts them into bookform. Most of you have probaly heard of her. - Pauline Haga. She is also listed on the Raleigh County WV site, and also at the following site: http://members.xoom.com/stpaula/haga.htm She is an excellent source for us. Her updated list of books is there, and her address, etc. This is not something I make money off of, but it's just that she has so much information. :) Gracie

James Franklin DICKENS 1863-1942 ? and Raleigh James DICKENS 1824/5-1870/80 Logan co, Va Thomas DICKENS ca 1785- 1866 Carroll Co, Va So I'm looking to hear from my cousins out there. :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< :< Carol J.
