Does anyone know anything about Jennie Camel who married Jessie Pennington son of Richard and Mary "Polly" Pennington of Pendleton County, WV. Could Jennie's last name been mispelled? I've seen Cabell and Campbell in the indexes of books but haven't yet found Camel. Thanks Debbie

Hi, I'm looking for some help in searching Robert Bruce Riffle b. 1884 in Randolph County. He married Nettie Kisner from Grafton, Taylor County. I believe the family lived in Elkins. There were either 4 or 5 children: James F. - Melda - Clara - Robert Bruce, Jr., and Bruce Montgomery. I have also been told that one of the girls married a Runner(?) who was an undertaker in Elkins. Any help available would really be appreciated, Thanks in advance, Una

Their children: 1 John Crouch jr married Judy Westfall 2 Jacob Crouch married Jane Smith 1803 3 Andrew Crouch married Elizabeth Hutton 1810 4 Elizabeth Crouch married Samuel Wamsley 1806 >> "Mary may have been a daughter of Charles Nelson, who came to the valley among the first settlers.

("William Currence -- the Pioneer, 1727-1780," by Peter W. Crickard, p. 36)<< I believe this John Nelson was the father of my Sarah Bringham. I have more on this story if you are interested. An indenture dated July27, 1801 between Jacob Nelson for himself and also by Virtue of a Letter of Attorney to him duly executed by John Crouch and Sarah his wife (Heirs at Law of the Estate of Charles Nelson late of the said county of Randolph who died intestate) of Bourbon Co KY dated Dec 15, 1795 recorded in the court of Bourbon Co KY sold to Jonathan Hutton a tract of land being part of the 1000 acres originally granted by Patent from Commonwelath of VA to James ___, Joseph Crouch, Andrew Crouch and Charles Fornelson in Tygarts Valley, Randolph Co VA. The tract contained 269 1/2 acres. The LDS records also read that Mary Nelson wife of Major John Crouch died Nov 19, 1834 at Huttonsville, Randolph Co VA. This is probably John Crouch Sr. Leoneita

Hi, Jeff, I was wondering if you could clear up couple of things I've ran across. In an old email you said: Andrew C Smith is the s/o Charles Smith and Hannah Susan Carr. Hannah is the reason I have interest in this SMITH family. She is the down line from the original ancestor, Georg Heinrich (Henry "Roebuck" KARR) CARR, b 1721 in Germany. I have 3 more generations on them in Germany. It takes us back to 1620 or so. Hannah Susan Carr is d/o John and Abigail CARR John is s/o of the above Henry. Henry is s/o Hans Jacob KARR and his second wife Dorothea HAFFNER. Hans Jacob is s/o Hans Jakob KARR and Maria REINER Hans Jakob is s/o Hans KARR (Magistrate) and Maria _______.>> Is John Carr and Abigail Bright, daugh of Thomas Bright and Margarit Cox, the same one you're referring to as the daughter of Hannah? Also in the "Bright Cousin" book, the author states states that John Carr's first wife was Jemima Wolford, daught of John Wolford and Elizabeth Woolever. When I look at the dates, however, there seems to be a whole generation off. Jemima married John Carr, but she was born in 1809 or 1801, depending on sources. There are enough John Carr's in these counties to be confusing..... Regards, Diane
