I think it has lots of value to the Randolph Co. researcher! And the old photos are great. Gotta love those "spiffy" basketball uniforms from 1917. :) I'll add a link from the Randolph Co.

Hello, Just wanted to let everyone who is searching in Randolph County know that my daughter is working on the Elkins High Web Page. She is compiling a list of all graduates from 1899 to the present on the alumni pages. We just started the project so keep checking back. This Alumni Page will show alot of historical value as well as genealogical value. Especially, to those who are searching for their family in the early years of Elkins High. Also, there will be many pictures on the alumni pages. The web page can be obtained at this site: http://www.wvonline.com/ehs Happy hunting, Vera Lewis

I am looking for information on my grandfather's sisters. One of these women disapeared from the family and was never heard from again. It is believed that she was taken against her will. Unfortunately, I don't know which one it was. The family lived in Nicholas, Webster and Upshur Counties of West Virginia. They may have been in Clay County, WV as well. Daughters of Lewis Marshall Walker: Mary J. Walker b. Mar 1888 Nicholas Co possibly married Unknown Marks may have moved to Sand Run, Upshur Co. Laura B. Walker b. May 1890 Nicholas Co possibly married Unknown Lowe Eva Luana Walker b. Aug 1894 Nicholas Co possibly married Unknown Lowe husband may have been brother-in-law of Laura Falla Walker b. unknown Webster Co married Andy Doddrall don't believe this is the "lost" girl. Any information on thier marriage dates or death dates would be extremely helpful. Thanks, Cathy

I am so very interested in the Beverley area of Randolph County. Thanks to Nancy, I have discovered my ggggrandparents and want to know all about them! Daniel JACOBS married Hannah STALNAKER, daughter of Andrew, 21 Mar 1838. Since there are no birth records this early, how about church records? No? Okay, then wills. I have access to a will book for WVA and while there are many STALNAKERs listed, and even an Andrew, he died in 1841 and there is no mention of a daughter Hannah. Does anyone have easy access to the will index? Or does anyone know if it is an easy process to inquire at the local courthouse? I know that in some counties, their employees are overworked and can not take any time to do this type of work, and others bend over backwards to help. I welcome any and all comments/advice. Thanks, Anna D.

Ok I am confused. Found Daniel JACOBS and family in the 1850 fed census residing in Randolph County Virginia. Found a Randoplh County in 1840, but not one prior or after. Is this the same as Randolph County West VA? Thanx, Anna D.

I am looking for information on LEWIS MARSHALL WALKER. According to his brother's obituary, Lewis was living in Sand Run, Harrison County in February 1939.

According to his Social Security application, he was living at MARKS FARM at Sand Run, WV and working for CROWN COAL & TIMBER CO of Sand Run. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cathy

I found a few MORRALs listed in the book "History of Pendleton Co, WV" by Oren F Morton - Originally published in 1910. If you have any specifics you want me to look up, I would be happy too. It starts with a Samuel & Mary (Davis) Morral. The last paragraph after all the names reads as follows: The older Morrals left the South Fork early in the last century. William sold to John Evick in 1801. Lair D. was county clerk of Barbour.

Is there anyone out there researching the Morral surname or am I the only one. I am not researching MORRIS. I thought I saw where my name was given as researching Morris. Bonnie Vance Miller

Hi Folks, I have just added a new page to the Randolph County WVGenWeb website. This is a list of U.S. Military Personnel from Randolph County who died from hostile action in the Korean and Viet Nam conflicts. (This record also includes those captured or missing.) <http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvrandol/kor-viet.htm> I hope some one finds this helpful. Happy Hunting!

Hi all, Does anyone know if a 1810 Census fro Randolph Co exists or not? Thanks, Cara

I found a site that looks it may have a lot of helpful information regarding the War of 1812. I haven't exactly look at any of the pages or the other links it has listed. The address is <http://www.iaw.on.ca/~jsek/search.htm>. Hope this can help you Leoneita or anyone else. Janet Fredericksburg, VA Researching: Highland & surrounding Co - Hiner, Eye, Rexrode, Simmons, Gum Greene, Culpeper, Orange Co - Shiflet, Knight Madison Co - Lloyd/Loyd Fauquier Co & Alexandria City - Johnson,

War of 1812 records report: Samuel Bringham, 2nd Regiment (Evan's) Virginia Militia. Bringham lived Randolph Co 1790's through 1818 when he moved to Indiana. Is there any information available about this Regiment? Where would I look? Thank you for your help, Leoneita

I have not received a posting since January 2, 199. Am I missing something?

Hi! Just want to let everyone know that I have become a Rootsweb Sponsor and have just completed the organization of 2 brand spanking NEW discussion lists! RIFFLE-L and SKINNER-L are the names I have chosen for them. They are long time names in West Virginia and are long overdue. The SKINNER surname also connects to Charles Co., MD. If you have interest in either of the families or connections to them, I hope you will join the list. (Keep in mind that they are brand new and it will take a bit of time to get enough people on them to activate it.) To subscribe you can send your requests to: [email protected] or [email protected] put subscribe in the subject line and message text. Wish me luck that these lists take off!

I am just begiining to do a little research in West Virginia. I have seen many of my family names--Jordan, and Dorsey in West Virginia. My great grandfather-Joseph J. Dorsey-was supposedly born in Rawley Springs, Va., and grew up in Rockingham County. There were many Dorsey's in West Virginia, so I know there must be a tie. The Jordan's were in Shenandoah County, and I have found them scattered in West Virginia. I have researched for several years. Diane Jordan Jones <[email protected]>
