Surnames: Congleton, Covey, Farley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QEC.2ACE/2212.4.1.1 Message Board Post: There was a John Congleton (age 19, volunteer, December 1861, three years, 77th regiment, Co. D, private, honorably discharged) who served in the Civil War from Washington Co., OH. Have you checked for his military or pension records? Have you checked for a Ritchie County, WV will or estate settlement John Congleton? It may list all of his children if he was married twice. Have you checked for a Ritchie County, WV deed? It could give you some valuable information and may list his wife. When I checked for Martha (Farley) and John Congleton in the 1870 Liberty Twp., Washington Co., OH census, I found Matilda J. Cantwell living next to them. Matilda married my direct ancestor, Kingsbury Covey II, in 1885. She was his second wife. Matilda Farley Swaney Covey (1855-1907) is also buried in Lehigh / Fifteen Cemetery. She was the daughter of Mary Jane Farley (1837-1924) and Joseph Madison Cantwell (1838-1862). I was unable to locate John Congleton (b. 1842) in the 1880 census.
