Kevin- I also have Lydia Steel(e) and William Currence. My line follows: William CURRENCE m Lydia STEEL(E) Sarah "Sally" CURRENCE m Matthew WAMSLEY William Heater WAMSLEY m Prudence WILMOTH Lucinda WAMSLEY m William Madison WARE Samuel WARE m Sallie Brown HIDY Samuel Bruce WARE m Barbara Jean NELSON Sheryl Ruth WARE m Richard Allen TUCK I have only been doing genealogy since Sep 97, I have learned the importance of documentation and sources. I've started to search in PA for Lydia's family but have had no luck. I'm also on the STEELE list here at rootsweb but haven't had any luck. Regretfully this time of year I have very little time to do any research except to correspond on the lists. I'm more than happy to join in the search. Maybe someone can organize it and assign sections for each to research. I hope some valid information comes of this, but all of my looking has not come up with any parents. Sheryl Tuck

there seems to be a few other people interested in this family I have two links into this family, and it sometimes hard to keep them straight I am a descendent of lydia currence and benjamin hornbeck and also I am a descendent of lydia steele and william currence sandra and I have coresponded on this before, along will 3 other researchers (ask and I will send your name to them, and they can contact you-this goes for however is interested in this family) the currence family intermarried quite a few times with the tenney family(one of my lines that I have researched extensively) and I started gathering info on that family also I have john steele and elizabeth smith (no dates) as parents, no other family info I also have the same death date, I can try to verify that date with the TV presbyterian church if you would like I want to exchange more info with other researchers of these families if anyone is interested thanks Kevin williams -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 05, 1998 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: lydia steele - Terry McLaughlin Dear Kevin, I hope that you will post your information about Lydia STEELE to the WVRANDOL list.

Sandra - I have quite a few differences in dates and places for your Currence family members. I had thought that William Currence died in an indian attack on 12 May 1781 from Bosworth's "History of Randolph County", p 334-9. I realize that Hu Maxwell indicates an earlier date. Do you have a source for your dates on William and the other family members? Additionally, you have Samuel Currence born 1753 in Virginia and shown as the oldest son. I have him as the 10th and youngest son, born 2 Nov 1772. We both show his wife as Elisabeth Bogard. I guess I shouldn't be concerned over these minor differences as it seems that all my sources seem to have different dates. One final question: Sarah Currence's husband, John Wamsley, is shown as the son of Judith Dorcas. I have not found a last name for her and thought Dorcas was her first name. My descent is from Lydia Currence and Benjamin Hornbeck. Thanks. Wayne

sandra sent a list of lydia steele descendents to Terry McLaughlin lydia steel is my 6th great grandmother if Terry McLaughlin can contact me, I would like to share information about lydia steele and her ancestors and descendents I have married data as abt 1751, otherwise my information agrees with sandra's what is your link to lydia steele? do you have info on her parents? thanks Kevin Williams

Dear Friends and Relatives, I am signing off for six months until I can get my medical situation under control, not to mention the pile of genealogy correspondence that is way past due. I will still check my mail daily, so if I owe you anything please don't hesitate to remind me. My medical problems are not major, just three little minor ones that are refusing to cooperate and exist peacefully in my body. If they would get along, I'd be just fine. In the meantime, I want to wish all of you luck with your research, your family and your health. And if anyone wins the LOTTERY, remember I'm family :-) See Ya in Six Months! Vivian in Florida

I am looking for a marriage date and/or death date for Lucinda LIPSCOMB, dau of Ambrose & Winifred, b. 30 Dec 1786 in Frederick County, VA. She married Salathiel GOFF, son of James & Mary E. GOFF (in Randolph County?) Salathiel remarried in 1819 (in Preston County.) Thank you. C. Cegielski

I am looking for Minnie Alodinor McCoy. Her maiden name may have been McAvoy instead of McCoy. She was born in either 1865 or 1869, in Braxton or Nicholas County, WV. She married Lewis M. Walker in 1885 in Nicholas County, WV. She had four children: Robert Ivan Walker, Coy L. Walker, Alden Oscar Walker (all born in Nicholas County) and Villeria/Valeria, who was born in Webster County. Minnie died on 2 June 1900 in Cowen, Webster County. She may have died giving birth to Villeria/Valeria. Villeria/Valeria's birth record lists her birth as 3 May 1900 but her death record (6 July 1900) lists her age as 34 days, which would make her birth date 2 June 1900. Is this a mess or what? Just when I think I have Minnie all sorted out, I find a record that contradicts my information! The date of her marriage and the names of her husband and children and her date and place of death are the only things that have remained unchallenged! Any help is greatly appreciated, Cathy

Thanks to everyone that answered my question about the West Fork River. It really helped. Cathy

my map shows it near the intersection of WV 4 and WV20 neat the villages of French Creek and Rock Cave. All in Upshur County. Olin

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the county that contains the head of the West Fork River and the closest town, if possible. A canoe friend told me that it is east of Weston and south of Buckhannon. Thank you so much, Cathy

I had another fruitless trip to Cowen today. I didn't find Florence but I did find the following at Oddfellows Cemetery in Cowen: Bruce Wright b. 6 Sept 1884 d. 28 Dec 1969 Bertha Wright b. 20 Feb 1891 d. 3 June 1960 I don't know if they tie into my Florence Wright but I thought maybe the information might help someone else. The grave markers didn't say if they were husband and wife but they were together with seperate headstones. Cathy

Donna Family of James and Anna Margaret Feaster Lipscomb James Lipscomb was born in 1789 and married Anna Margaret Feaster about 1824.

At the time of the 1880 Census his family consisted of Lucinda, age 43, who had been born in Indiana, and six children between the ages of seventeen and five. At the time of the 1890 Special Veterans Census, John H. Lipscomb listed his post office address as Etam.

Hello, I too am interested in the Lipscomb family. I know my Lipscombs must tie in with Ambrose Lipscomb somehow. I just haven't figured it out yet. My ggrandfather was a John (Jehu or Tehue) Lipscomb born abt. 1827 who married a Lucinda Davis. They resided in Preston county in 1880 as they were on the census there with their children : America, Hester Ann, Rachel, Melissa, Charles, and Spencer (he was also listed as Stanford). Their daughter Rachel born 1864 married John Wesley Loughry born 1861. These were my ggrandparents. Does anyone know how John Lipscomb ties in with Ambrose? His marriage to Lucinda Davis may have been a second marriage . Thanks for any help. Rebecca Lucas [email protected]
