    2. In a message dated 1/15/04 2:42:57 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Married Rebecca Wriston, d/o John & Nancy Wriston on 9 October 1863 in Matville, WV. Lived Clear Creek, Raleigh County. Daughter Almira born 4 March 1871. ==================================================== Rebecca's parents were Isaac MOLES and Mary "Polly" WRISTON. Isaac MOLES was the son of Jeremiah MOLES and Elizabeth SCOTT. Mary "Polly" was the daughter of Reason WRISTON and Rachel SCARBROUGH. There were several men by the name of James WRISTON, and this particular one was called "Good Jim," because his parents died at an early age and he worked so hard to raise his younger siblings. He was the first pastor at the Log Church, Artie, and served for about 20 years. James and Rebecca WRISTON were my 2-Great Grandparents, as their daughter Almira married Grant MAYNOR. Also, Rebecca was a sister to James MOLES, my 3-Great Grandfather, but the MOLES line. As you know, it can get very confusing! LOL Sue Maynor Thompson
