Council to Dedicate Historical Sites History Buffs please mark Saturday, October 26, 2002, at 2:00 o'clock p.m., on your calendar, as this is when the Northern Webster Council Improvement Council, Inc. will dedicate and unveil signs commemorating two historical sites: the McCray Rocks and the McCray Cemetery. Over one hundred and forty years ago, on February 23, 1862, Reverend James McCray, age 42, was killed by Yankee soldiers at what would later be known as the McCray Rocks. James had applied for a commission as Captain in the Confederate Army. He, Ebenezer Mace and Elias Snyder, after learning that a scouting party from Co. 8, 10th West Virginia Federal Infantry had ransacked and plundered the Mace home at Hacker Valley, decided they would run ahead of the Yankees, who were traveling north, and kill one each. They rushed to a ridge a bit southeast of Cleveland where two large rocks were located rather close together and offered, what they considered to be excellent cover. They put a pole from one rock to the other, laid down with their guns on the pole pointing in the direction from which they believed the Yankees would be approaching. Evidently the Yankees had learned of their plot, as they slipped up from behind and were raising their guns to shoot before the three Confederates knew it. Mace and Snyder got away, but James was captured and killed. James' sisters, Eliza and Rebecca, dug his grave on property owned by his brother, Evan, and buried him. James' grave was the first in the cemetery, thus the name "McCray Cemetery." The ceremony will take place approximately one mile south of Cleveland on Webster County Route 20/1. Directional signs from West Virginia State Route 20 at Cleveland will enable visitors to find the sight. The unveiling of the McCray Rocks Marker will be performed by McNeill's Rangers Camp 582, Sons of the Confederate Veterans of Morefield, West Virginia. Immediately after the ceremony, guided tours will be made to the rocks, which requires a short hike, and to the cemetery, which is accessible by vehicle. Ladies of the community will provide light refreshments for visitors at the Cleveland United Methodist Memorial Church, where people will be able to meet old friends and make new friends with those who share a common interest in the Cleveland area and, in particular, the McCray family. Later in the afternoon, attendees of the dedication ceremony are invited to enjoy a popular southern cornbread and bean dinner complete with onions and other related condiments, compliments of Tim and Jill Woody, who reside at the former Cleveland Store located just below the church. The public is invited. In case of inclement weather the ceremony will take place in the Cleveland Church.

Would anyone happen to know what became of Juanita V. Crouch, daughter of Charles E. and Emma Daft Crouch? I have no listing of her birth or death date, estimate her birth date to be in the early 1900's, and her death around 1941, she married William Stalnaker, who had previously been married to Winifred Davis of Elkins, Winifred passed away in 1919. William and Juanita were the parents of my father Kenneth Eugene Stalnaker born in Elkins in 1924, from what info. I have come up with so far, William and Juanita divorced about 1930, and she may have remarried a William W. Ellis, from this point, it is almost as if she just vanished, I find no trace of her anywhere, any info. as to what happened to her would be appreciated, thanks Randy

Hi, I knew Joan too. I lived right next door to them. They owned a little grocery store in front of my house in Valley Bend. I also knew their brother. I see Carolyn when I go to Elkins. Haven't seen Joan since I moved back in 1949. Carolyn and I have stayed in contact all of these years. I think their Brother died several years ago, not sure though.

Hi - sorry to be so careless - but I don't seem to have the information to be able to get in contact with Ethel Welch, who's reply was attached to another posting. I must have missed her email address, or deleted too soon... Anyway, I am interested in whether she is related to Beulah (Nazelrod) Welch, of Randolph County, who I had briefly been in contact with concerning my gg grandfather Archibald McCroby, and May Ann Waybright? Please contact me.

b. 4 sep 1867 Kerens,Randolph,WV d. 25 Sep 1951, Salinas Monterey,CA son of Emmit B. VanScoy & Lucinda Parsons, brother to Sidney Helen Van Scoy Hicks

Hi Wayne Thank you for bringing to my attention what I neglected to mention,Yes it was Salinas, Monterey county, CA.. Only one of the 20 obits that I received had a newspaper name mentioned,and I need to put in that qualification also.Van Scoy is one of my main lines and I have them back to Holland.Further I have so many relatives in Randolph county WV that I automatically think that they all belong to me, for instance your Hedrick, Wolford and Poling, there are many of those names connected to my lines. Arthur B. VanScoy was the son of Emmit Buckey VanScoy and Lucinda J. Parsons b. 4 Sept 1867, Randolph county WV d. 21 Sep 1951 Salinas, Monterey, CA buried 24 Sept 1951 Gonzales Community Cem, Monterey, CA SANDRA TYLER DUNCAN Sacramento, CA http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=purplevw1&I11.x=17&I11.y =7 http://www.headstonehunter.com/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Price" <wayprice@pacbell.net> To: <WVRANDOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 11:15 PM Subject: Re: [WVRANDOL-L] Arthur B.

Hi, Does anyone know the parents of this Arthur Vanscoy, whose obit was published on Randolph rootsweb on Sat 14 Sep? Did I get the death date right? And, where is the Salinas where he died? Thanks, Brenda

I don't know which Salinas is intended in the obituary, but I know about the Salinas in California and I think a Salinas, New Mexico, if that helps. Some surnames researching: PRICE, HEDRICK/HEDERICK, FLANAGAN, WOLFORD, UPTON, LEWIS, BUTLER, POLING/POLAND, STONESTREET, KINNEY, ENGLAND, GRAVES, and GREGORY.
